Prehistoric mammal – Page 2

Vault Tales 228 FigureFrenzy Futabasaurus, Salmon, Velociraptor, Xenacanthus, Teleoceras

More random figures. Possibly more random than normal! Even a figure that was customized (not the first one I've discussed, I think. But a weirder one). Mostly prehistoric animals though. That's something. Playmates Dinosaur King Futabasaurus This pattern on Futabasaurus is almost a meme among early figures of the animal. Not sure how that came to pass. It's about 1:60 scale, close to the diver. Visiting another Dinosaur King figure again already? Yup, another wave 2 figure, and one that…

Vault Tales 217 Run the Set Lido Nabisco Prehistoric Mammals

Today is a more classic vintage set--a series of plastic prehistoric mammals! Featuring some very, very unusual species (and a few expected familiar ones). As was kind of common in the 1950s and 1960s, these were giveaways with Nabisco cereals. Sets of monochromatic animal figures of various themes and sources were not uncommon (Marx and MPC are probably the best known) but a set with these kinds of animals was. Nabisco also had a set of dinosaurs that were unusual,…

Vault Tales 209 FigureFrenzy Deinotherium, Neanderthal, Andrewsarchus, Chasmaporthetes

Oooh! Prehistoric mammal FigureFrenzy today! And quite the range of figures and companies while we're at it! Let's see! Starlux Deinotherium A classic model of a probiscidean that has been interpreted in many ways, the Starlux Deinotherium is heavily based on Asian elephants with a weird lower jaw. The figure is close to 1:100, so mom & child are not far off. Our first figure is the elephant-like Deinotherium Starlux, released in 1973 with the item number FS40044. It was…

Vault Tales 203 FigureFrenzy Wrasse, Moorish idol, Acanthodiian, Nurse shark, Mammalodon

Going with an aquatic theme today! Mostly a variety of fish, and then one prehistoric mammal as well! Bunch of interesting animals though. Let's take a look! Colorata Coral Reef Fish Humphead Wrasse & Moorish Idol Two excellent fish figures from Colorata. On the left, a Humphead Wrasse. In the centre, a Moorish Idol. Although not always true, in this instance the two figures from the same box are about the same scale, 1:6,. The diver is actually a bit…

Vault Tales 195 FigureFrenzy Barylambda, Glyptodon, Cassowary, Quetzal, Baobab

Well here's a range of figures from all kinds of companies featuring all kinds of species...even a tree! Who would have thought!? Lido Nabisco Barylambda This is an old figure, but I don't think there are even other Pantodont figures! So it's great to have this Barylambda, about 1:62 scale so the explorer is a bit short. First up, a figure from the 60s, back when cereal came with awesome toys! Possibly more famous for their dinosaurs series, Lido was…

Vault Tales 192 FigureFrenzy Bawitius, Therizinosaurus, Rhomalaeosaurus, Coelodonta

Prehistoric Figure Frenzy! A whole bunch of different species...three from some of my . Plus, one really unique one, a plush prehistoric polypterid! Let's take a look. Spirellity Bawitius plush key chain The only Bawitius model that was available for general sale. As a key ring (the ring has since been removed). It's about 1:23 scale, so pretty close to Freddy there. That's a big bichir! So I'm just going to start with this one! It's a small plush printed…

Vault Tales 172 Bullyland Woolly Mammoth

Happy New Year all! Today, to wrap up the year we're going to look at another great Bullyland Stuttgart Museum figure. This time, that classic beast of the Ice Age, the Woolly mammoth! And yes, coincidentally, we already visited a mammoth earlier this week, along with some other prehistoric mammals. It isn't planned, just kind of random. A very classic animal, in a very classic rendition. The Bullyland Woolly Mammoth is number 58355, and was among the earliest models made…
