A while back, I went to a local zoo. On the way out, I visited their gift shop and was struck by the Schleich miniatures they had on sale of various zoo creatures and other cattle/farm animals. I decided to get a couple because the quality was so good. Not cheap particularly, but saved a lot of painting time. Some parts are posable, but generally they are stock-posed. Example: The Dunkleosteus’ jaw moves up and down.
I got the Barapasaurus and the Dunkleosteus.
It’s definitely worth checking out the Schleich dinosaurs, ESPECIALLY if you plan a Lost Island style crawl.

The Wildlife products have great predator animals like bears, wolves, rhinos, elephants, tarantulas and Great White sharks, octopi, etc. The scale of these might be a bit too big, but as giant versions they are GREAT. The wolf is about 2″ tall.

And finally check out their Eldrador range. These are more fantastical creatures…
