Toyway from the Dinosaur Collector update 060306
Toyway in England has marketed a variety of Dinosaur plays sets and Dinosaur series. They are best known for the BBC Walking with Dinosaurs (WWD) figures that are being put out of production. These were extremely faithful to the documentary even to the point of replicating the error of the Allosaurus eye horns. They had limited distribution in the US. In England they market the old Carnage figures and are thought to own the old Timpo molds. The also sold play sets of Marx figures mixes with MPC Palms. Recently releasing a new series with the British Natural history Museum.
British Natural Museum 2005

Walking with Dinosaurs
Walking with Dinosaurs (WWD) this series documentaries ( WWD, Big Al, Chasing Dinosaurs, WDRA When Dinosaurs Roamed America, Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, Dinosaur Planet generated one formal set of dinosaur figures by the Toyway company in England. The figures are solid and the scale is mixed. These are now said to be out of production. There is a rare Toyway Ornithocheirus that was only released as a magazine give away. This and the North American Iguanodon were supposed to be later releases. The Ornithocheirus was said to be too difficult because of the wing spread and the European Iguanodon was the least popular of the originals. These figures were very detailed and faithful to the documentary but rather wooden looking. There were two sets by TS toys that has an unofficial look. The Dinosaur Farm carries the vinyl TS toys figures. Follow the links for more information and Diorama pictures.
