Dinosaur Train – Fauna Figures

Vault Tales 177 ToyTrio Goblin shark, Spinosaurus, Basking Shark

Another weird assortment today. Honestly, I'm going to keep these short. Not that they're not good figures in their ways, but sometimes there isn't much to say. Learning Curve "Dinosaur Train" The Old Spinosaurus This is a very strange depiction of Spinosaurus. It's cartoon accurate I suppose. First up, another Dinosaur Train figure from Takara. This time, it's their take on Spinosaurus from an episode called "The Old Spinosaurus and the Sea" featuring...a Spinosaurus. Next to the sea. As a…

Vault Tales 148 ToyTrio Cretoxyrhina, Pteranodon, Diadectes?

Okay, so another trio, another theme...sort of. Three prehistoric animals, all non-dinosaurs, and that's about all that connects them. Some very strange ones here really. Learning Curve "Dinosaur Train" Mr. Cretoxyrhina Clearly this is not a realistic paint scheme for Cretoxyrhina. We can't be completely sure but, no. Kind of gives up the cartoon-based origin It seems like I only recently discussed a Dinosaur Train figure and we're already on to another one. And it's not like I have a…

Vault Tales 146 ToyTrio Amargasaurus, Masiakasaurus, Monolophosaurus

Another ToyTrio, and it features more dinosaurs...except, they're less common species...and definitely less common figures. Most of which are probably made by better companies but they mostly amuse me. FameMaster 4D Puzzle Amargasaurus The figure is a decent one, but of course being a puzzle, the spaces between the pieces are visible. First up, possibly the least uncommon species and (for once) least uncommon company--another of the 4D puzzle figures from FameMaster. This time it's their original Amargasaurus, item 20141A.…

Vault tales 112 – Clades – Pliosaurs

Part of the fun of doing these clades ones is learning more about the models I have! Here we some that only show up as one example in my collection--the CollectA Rhomalaeosaurus which is not quite a pliosaurid but is a pliosauroid; the CollectA Attenborosaurus, a long-necked pliosaur that I originally thought was a plesiosaur; the Feves Peloneustes recently discussed here; and the Innovative Kids Brachauchenius from their Gone Extinct book. So we are back with another Clades discussion--one that,…

Vault tales 41 Dinosaur Train Adocus

Who makes it? The company Learning Curve, as part of the series of figures with the Dinosaur Train PBS series. His name is apparently Adam. When did it come out? Originally came out in 2010 Adam the Adocus. He's a very happy turtle. Still available? I honestly can't tell. The distribution was always a bit difficult to pin down. Probably not though. Where can it be found in my displays? On the shelves filled with colourful oddball figures. One of…
