Plesiosaur toys and replicas

There are many different plesiosaur toys, replicas, statues, and other commercially available models. Many of these are out of production and have become rare collectors items. Others are more recently produced toys and are available to buy today. The gallery is arranged alphabetically by genus name (I've had to guess this for some toys, and indeterminate figures are filed under 'P' for plesiosaur. The captions are under construction.
