* The ''[http://www.dinosaurcollector.150m.com/playskool.htm DinoRiders]{{broken link}}'' franchise had dinosaurs from virtually everywhere, plus the obligatory pterosaurs and Dimetrodon. A spinoff line of prehistoric mammals provided another example of this trope, with an entelodont (giant pig-thing) alongside a giant ground sloth, saber-toothed cat, and wooly mammoth. Then again, this is a series that concerns the [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|exploits of aliens waging war on prehistoric Earth]] with the help—voluntary in the case of the good guys, not so much in the case of the bad guys—of the animals. [[Rule of Cool]] heals many a wound.
* Playschool had a toy line called [http://www.dinosaurcollector.150m.com/playskool.htm Definitely Dinosaurs]. It featured fully articulated prehistoric creatures, and was meant to be educational... so what are the cavepeople doing there?
** At least the packaging pointed it out and said it was just for fun. The real question is why the cavemen were all so outlandishly stocky.
Line 245:
* The Playmobil dinosaur line [[Shown Their Work|largely averts this]]: the ''Pteranodon'' has a toothless beak, most of the theropods have non-pronated hands, the spinosaurid is larger than the tyrannosaurid, etc. The only real caveat is the [[Raptor Attack|lack of feathers on the deinonychosaur]].<ref>And the nostrils atop the brachiosaur's head, but that one's a bit more technical.</ref>
* There's a set of models called "Prehistoric Digs". The advertising copy for them in the catalog says, "Discover a hidden 3D dinosaur skeleton! Then assemble the scattered bones to reveal your very own 10" museum quality reproduction of a 70 million year old 3D dinosaur skeleton. Specify T-Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, or Mammoth."
