| I am very interested in Prehisoric Mammals, I really like them. So, one day, I suppose I'll start to collect them How many different there are? I think you can find the most famous, but not as many as paleontologists know. For example, i.m.o. there are few canids, or felines... or anything else, compared to dinosaurs, I mean I know from Schleich: Wooly Mammoth Smilodon Cave Bear Schleich Macrauchenia A lot of Safari: Ambelodon Arsinoitherium Andrewsarchus Doedicurus Giant Sloth Saber-Tooth Tiger Woolly MammothBullyland: Chalicotheriu Mastodon Woolly RhinoCollecta: MegaceropsPapo: Sabertooth TigerNot sure who: Paraceratherium Deinotherium Ancient Horse Megaloceros More? |

| As you can see from previous comments, there are not as many as dinosaurs but enough to ruin us. Remember that dinosaurs was one of the biggest fashions of animal toy figures, the highest enthusiasm was already some years ago but they are still best sellers. No other plastic animal figure sells as much as a T-rex. Prehistoric mammals are almost only satellites of dinos phenomenon. As Susanne is showing, from major brands you have the recently retired line of Schleich, the elaborated Bullyland line that was recently partially relaunched, the very nice incidents from Safari, the top selling Papo vulgarities and, finally, CollectA and Mojo, are giving a new life to this world with some really interesting and unusual species. Let me only tell that dogs are really rare, thinking fast I only can remember the dire wolf from Bullyland, but felines are not rare, there are a lot of smilodons and other saber toothed cats, they almost break mammoth hegemony. Don't forget also Japanese and vintage brands. But first, think very well what you really want to collect... diversity? |

That's a lot of information and suggestions for a collector I like canids, of course and felides almost the same. And i like what's hidden and few known, so, I know mammal prehistorical animals are not so famous as the dinosaurs are... if Spielberg had chosen animals from Pleistocene, for example, everything would have been different When I see so many prehistoric animals like in this site: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]I get mad and ask why all of them are not as famous as dinos... because they are incredible, beautifull and they are a lot! |

| Interesting link! :) I like prehistoric mammals best than dinosaurs but, maybe the size explains a little why dinos are more popular. When you think that an andrewsarchus is not larger than a modern polar bear what means it is much smaller than a giganotosaurus, spinosaurus or even T-rex, famous and popular predators. When also the largest land mammal was visibly smaller than the largest herbivore dinosaurs... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |
