Title: Wanted: Dinosaur Saurier Prehistoric Sets
Post by: mmUS on May 14, 2021, 01:12:48 AM
Hello. I am trying to find  info on definitive years of release for prehistoric animal themed flat sets.
I am looking to purchase some sets namely the 23 piece Saurier set shown.


Also have a few photos of unidentified sets to anyone who think they can help.

The set you have illustrated is the Gottstein set. Created many years ago so does not in some ways conform to modern reconstructions of dinosaur types. Some illustrations here: http://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?action=gallery;su=user;cat=161;u=76.
Manfred Barsch also had a large catalogue of more modern designs, see the attached image, but I am not sure of his current contact details.
In my gallery is an illustration of the Brumm set, below are the remainder of the Brumm set of prehistoric mammals and birds from the Paleocene. The Brumm set were later sold by Schmittdiel, but they seem to be unavailable now except on eBay at very high prices.

The diorama I have in my gallery is by Scholtz and they are still available from them. https://www.zinnfigur.com/en/Flat-Figures/Blank-Figures/Animals-Plants/Primeval-Animals/

Another old set is the set of plastic flats given away with Wagner margarine in Germany and with Shreddies in the U.K. Occasionally turn up on eBay.

Does anyone have sets for sale?
The dinosaur sets I see in the gallery were unidentified.

Sets in my gallery are by Scholtz (the diorama), Gottstein (the painted set) and Brumm (the part painted set).

Does anyone have Barsch's contact? Should I post that in another thread?

Thanks for the replies
