Show us your plastic dinosaur

I saw this bouncy dinosaur while out shopping this morning. I think it’s rather cute, but do wonder how easily it could burst.

I bought it for maybe $4 in the 80's at a flea market.  

 

 

 

They are real nice and look quite vintage in design. Goes to show how vast the dinosaurs merchandise market is. It is also sad not one dinosaur has ever profited for there popularity.  

 

cheers Bobby

Did a little more work on it but I think I need to knock back the highs on the model. Looks nice on my shelve . Cheers Bobby

Thanks for sharing! My son would love this! His very own “long neck” to ride. He would undoubtedly put its burst limit to the test. I’m going to look into getting one of these.

Lol, if you do get one, please let me know how it holds up. My grandson is much too young for one, but I’m tempted to get one to simply use as cute room decor until he is old enough to safely bounce on it. Waiting for a sale....

Will do!

I thought I would show displayed the vintage prehistoric toy that  I painted  and made into dioramas. I think they look quite good if I can say that myself.

Cheers mate I had duplicates so I thought it would be a fun project. Nice to use toys I had as a kid and make new diorama.

Amazing work, @Bobby Rico!  Your fossil shelves are made even more wonderful with your hand-painted toys!

Thank you . I am pretty pleased with the look of the Pteranodon . I think they do add some interest to the sheaves. Also the little bits of fake greenery on the dioramas is pleasant to look at. I was thinking of making another mammoth and setting it on a slice of mammoth tooth with all the greenery trimmings. I probably give it away or do a competition, I don’t know.

Very cool Bobby! They do look very good, and I don’t mind if you do say so yourself.  

I love them.

STEGOSAUR FOUND IN CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL COAST!

 

While stopping off the side of the road today for an unscheduled delivery, I glanced down and found myself a full grown rare pink Stegosaurus.

Any dino experts out there willing to narrow down the speices?

One of my dreams is to find an complete Stegosaurus  .

Who's to say he doesn't already have them?  

[Misha]

Don't know if anyone has posted these already, but look what I got from the post office today!

I was going through the loft to find a suitcase and saw a very interesting carrier bag with a tail sticking out of the top.

 

I opened it up and low and behold it was a bag full of some large puppets from when I was a little kid. In the bag was T. rex, stegosaurus, triceratops and the famous Japanese mythical creature - Godzilla

 

These must be coming up to 20 years old but are still in great condition. They certainly brought a smile to my face and I don’t think I’ll be letting these go anytime soon

I found these T-Rex skull Halloween candy bowls today at a decor store. They are about a foot long and the mouth can be opened or closed.

On my way to a skybox for Bears.game,

 

 

I saw this metal chair near the Soldiers Field, which is near the Field Museum.

Too bad your football games aren't very popular there in Chicago.  There's hardly anybody in the stadium.    

Good thing you were able to get in the skybox to afford you some elbow space (and breathing room!).

You are correct Doren and it was the first and last time I will go. I left the house at 11:15 am and did not get home until a little after 9:00 pm, I hate Chicago traffic especially when it take me 2 1/2 hours to drive 40 miles on a Sunday evening.
