Since joining this forum and being more informed about the world of mini-fig collecting, I am now scared to get rid of any figure I come across in case its a rarity. I wonder how many Bad Eggz bunch figures have met their end being tossed into the trash without the person knowing they a worth a fortune.
Anyway here is a few shots of mini Dino's I have come across an need help with ID

Dunno about rarity or worth really but I believe your "blue guy" and "yellow steg" are Denier, Deneir, Diener whatever always forgetting how that goes........

If so they will have the name stamped somewhere on a leg or thigh I think. Hard to see at times but it's there.

I have a b.o.n.e.r. for the first green triceratops one.

Yeah, I like the way he's standing kinda like those hideous crappy not-quite-dinos that you find in lots with the little "rust monster' sculpt.

Not ringing any bells. Link?

yep I thought he was a chinasaur at first but he is made of soft plastic as apposed to hard plastic and the number on his back points to him being part of some kind of collectable.

[imperfecz]

Something like these... don't know why I like these hideous guys..........

[ironmask]

I kind of like the guy on the back/right... But yeah, those are pretty shabby.

[imperfecz]

I think they've been bootlegged so many times over and over.. there are varying degrees of crappy. Never seen the one in green before, well I have a couple but they're white and brown if I rember right.

Kind of like food, I like both ends of the spectrum....... really really good food and then gas station nachos and crap like that.

Haha that's my "Chinasaurs" photo--for some reason I have a soft spot for those cheap-looking bastards.

Also, I believe the yellow puma came with the 1990s Batman Animated Series Catwoman figure from McDonald's Happy Meals.

[imperfecz]

Hahaha! I was trying to find a shot of one or more of those searching google...... yeah I don't know why those got to me the way they did.

Frank K. Is a f'n monster.

The Panosh dino is a bootleg of a D.I.N.O. Mite (made by Panosh Place, thus the copyright), from a line known as Dino Brites despite not actually being in much of a bright, "neon" color. The Dino Brites line gave silly human names to each figure, and yours is called Fred.

l.designs got it right, the Stegosaurus and Triceratops are Diener erasers.

No idea what the first and third dinosaurs are. I agree with your hunch that their numbers probably mean they are from the same series.

[toyboytycoon]

Fred what a cool name for a Dino !!, the two remaining did come in a job lot of Dino's and I thought at first they were Transmutazors because the lot did include a few of those but I have checked and they are not.

[Soupie]

I have the 1st green dino as well. Not sure where I got him from. I think the UK.

[toyboytycoon]

here is a better photo of the Plesiosaurus

he's still a mystery as is his upright Triceratops mate

[TwoHeadedBoy]

I've got the plesiosaur in red and yellow - they were in a box full of MIMP I got at a car boot sale last year sometime. Not saying that it's of the MIMP line, but he seems happy amongst them.

I've got a bunch of dinos like that first Triceratops, can't for the life of me remember where they came from (but almost certainly UK). Tried my luck on here hoping someone could ID them a while back, but got no responses. Anyway, here they are:

Its still a mystery then , this is what we know. 1. They are from the UK, 2. They are soft rubber 3. They are numbered and thats it.

[toyboytycoon]

Here is a lot of Dino mini figures I have collected over the years. Some have been identified as Dinomites, Dinobrites, Deiner, Transmutazors but there are a few figures in there which are still a mystery

The yellow puma is a companion to a 1993 Catwoman McDonald Happy Meal figure from Batman: The Animated Series:
