Very nice.  Are those toy dinos originally or metal minis?

[Christian]

Hey they look really cool!

[Wirelizard]

Very nice dinos, nicely painted!

As people have already asked, I really want to know if these are repainted toys or metal miniatures!

[Furt]

They are indeed all plastic toys.

I was surprised they painted up OK myself and it was really an experiment to see if they would work.

A couple of poses, not pictured, are really unusable - very static and very unrealistic. What do you expect for plastic dinosaurs.

All in all not bad for the cost.

For the big guys you can't beat the schleich and similar brands. Metal is too hard to find and way too expensive.

Very Nice, I have some plastic animals that I am working on as well - if my my grandkids don't get mad about the goats getting painted  up by grandpa!

[Mr.Dodo]

Nice. The last one looks very Dinotopian!

[Christian]

Where did you get them anyway? $2 shop?

[Furt]

Nice. The last one looks very Dinotopian!

He was the first one I did and the only one I'm not really happy with. I believe he is supposed to be a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallimimus, but not too sure.

I was hoping for a whole flock of these, but they do look very static, even though there is a slight variance in height in some of the models.

Maybe a head twist and a color change on some of them is in need.

Where did you get them anyway? $2 shop?

All but the first one I bought in a large bag for $6 from Target.

The first bloke is an Aussie, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minmi_%28dinosaur%29

I got him with some others from a kid's educational shop - unfortunately it was the last pack.

Very nice.  Neotacha wants to do a dinosaur safari game, so we are (slowly) building up our collection of painted dinos and hunters.

[Christian]

The 'Raptor should fit in nicely with that collection

Thanks guys.

Piero, not 100% sure, but I would assume all too large.

Those here http://www.minizoo.com.au/categories/Science-%26-Nature/Small-Replicas/ will be roughly the same size as the first dinosaur pictured. Still over sized for 28mm.

If you are referring to the Collecta or Schleich ones, they of course will be overly large.

I'm referring to the wild life and woodlands animals, 
it's a pity that they cannot fit the 25-28mm range.
thanks in any case.
