Why oh why do I like cheap-looking toys so much? These plastic dino monster things, often referred to as "Chinasaurs" by some fellow toy

Love those things too - I've had four of those five for as long as I can remember, but the one second-from-right... Still haven't managed to get hold of that one.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep an eye out for you
DeleteLove your site. This may shed some light on these "Prehistoric Monsters":

What an awesome post, thanks for sharing. I'm kind of envious of the Owlbear--that one must have been a very short-lived inclusion!
DeleteHe is the tough one to find. In the 11 months that I have been watching auctions on eBay, only 2 came up...and you saw what the first one went for. Fortunately the second went for $7, which is about the usual price I paid for these guys.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd ever even seen that one before your post. I'll have to keep an eye out!
DeleteThe other day I picked up a set of "Realistic Dinosaurs" containing the larger bipedal lizard man and a bulette. Keep an eye on the Rite-Aid toy isle if you're still looking for a bulette.
ReplyDeleteAlso, now I'm curious. I read that these are likely based on Ultraman kaiju, but I'm not at all that familiar with Ultraman. Which kaiju are these guys based on?
Cool, it's nice to know these are still showing up! They must take some record for longest-available toy sculpts.
DeleteI wish I could answer the Ultraman question. I'm actually not sure.
