So those of you that have traded with me in the past know you get a plastic dino. Here are a few of my plastic friends ready for upcoming trades. Of course any traders are require to wear a tattoo also sent and display it on your body (within reason!) in any images you post here. @caldigger knows the score eh Doren  

No picture showing?

A couple blocks from my house. I'm guessing the human skeleton is the guy who was supposed to mow the lawn.

Thank you for this really great photo I wish it was on my street.

It’s an absolutely terrible picture, I know, but I thought they were neat. Located at the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow, Scotland. These are wooden cutouts that children (and adults) could have bought back in the 1920’s during their visit to the Natural History Museum in London. Created by artist Vernon Edwards, these 9 are thought to be the only surviving complete set.

They are really something. Thank you for adding to my thread.

Come on Adam, John is a photographer. 

You cant expect him to be posting pictures without securing the copyrights first.

These things take time!

I bet @Bobby Rico wouldn't mind an intrusion of prehistoric invertebrates to make their way  his thread? .  They are a lot less common in toys and media.  I'll have to post some of mine when I get time.

I don’t mind at all. I never had any toy trilobites but for @piranha an image out of my book I had as a child that my sister gave me for the Christmas of 1979 "Prehistoric Animals and plants illustrations by Zdenek Burian.

What?!  I thought every kid played with toy inverts when they were young.

The brachiopod action figures were the funnest. And who didn't love make belive playing with all those plastic Rugose corals.

Gosh, I must have had the entire crinoid collection, even the special editions too.

Boy, that really brings back fond memories!

You were restricted to sessile action figures?! That's a dirty shame and darn near an oxymoron...

Here's some inverts I've picked up along the way, including the aforementioned Burgess Shale set

Here's some non-dinosaurian verts, all relatively modern, that I couldn't resist....

I love this set and the Burgess Shale one, am eagerly awaiting photos of Doren's brachiopod set.
