The Kaiyodo resin and vinyl dinosaur and prehistoric models Furuta, Bandai, Retro Classic, Kabaya

There are a plethora of Japanese premiuns many are made by Kaiyodo. The candy, pastry or drink product seems to be marginal.

Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Spinosaurus, Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus. Larger than UHA done is plastic.

Kabaya in Japan is a maker of pastries and candy. The have released at least 2 separate sets of dinosaurs. The Perfect DinoWorld Collection came out shortly after the first UHA release. They produced this set of figures not as premiums like the UHA Dino Tales. How they are connected to their eatable products isn’t clear. There were 18 figures, the names are my best guesses: Ankylosaurus, Archaeopteryx, Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, Gallimimus, Iguanodon, Lambeosaurus Maiasaura, Ichthyosaurus, Oviraptor, Pachycephalosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Plesiosaurus, Protoceratops, Quetzalcoatlus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus and Utahraptor. They were never collected with the same passion as the UHA figures. They were made of a hard plastic rather than resin being slightly larger than the UHA Dinotales figures. They have the name Araki on the bottom and Dr Bob Bakker was consulted in the production. Kabaya had nice web site full information sadly the extensive use of Japanese characters made it largely indecipherable for a gaijin like me.

Set 2 from Kabaya. There are six figures about twice the size of the first set made of a vinyl. The figures are marketed in five boxes covered with what could be fascinating dino facts if I could read Japanese. There are six figures about twice the size of the first set made of a vinyl. The figures are marketed in five boxes covered with what could be fascinating dino facts if I could read Japanese. There are two Tyrannosaurus figures, a Spinosaurus, a Triceratops and a Deinonychus. You are intended to buy each figure individually and assemble the vinyl parts. There is an extra piece in each box that when you buy the entire set allows you to put together a nice Seismosaurus. The figures all have the look of Walking with Dinosaurs or Jurassic Park animals. The figures again are Araki creations.

Dinosaur Museum Collection made by Bandai Company Japan and distributed by Gakken. These dioramas are made for educational purposes in Japanese Schools (gakken). There are 5 dioramas in the series. These figures are made of a rubbery plastic rather than resin.

Bandai released a second set of figures. Supersaurus, Velociraptor, Ceratosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus. Some of these look like repaints from the first release sans diorama bases. They were released in several colors.

Bandai release a third set of dinosaurs in Japan, the Eating series dioramas. Raptors scavenging, T rex eating hadrosaur, Icthyosaur eating a squid, Allosaurus eating a Camptosaur and Pterosaur catching a squid. They come in pieces made of rubbery vinyl like the FameMaster puzzles, but with not so many pieces. These are more like toys than UHA figures. Use glue, the parts don’t fit tightly and I am still looking for the tail end of my Supersaurus from the second set.

The most recent series from Bandai. These figures are very different from the earlier series and small than UHA figures.

Based on 1950's Knight and Zallinger paleoart (that is the retro part) originally premiums for bottled water and mounted on plastic bottle caps. There were 2 series each released in 2 different color schemes.

Series 2 some of these figures are very modern looking. Some of Charles Knight paintings reflect a very modern appearance. When he ignored the paleontologists of his time his worked aged much better.
