Interested in finding 80s "Made in Hong Kong" Chinasaurs...

....and other interesting "Chinasaurs" from anywhere and any time.

I'm sorry to go against the grain a bit here, but I have a thing for these goofy wonders! If anybody can hook me up I'd be really grateful! I don't have a very specific criteria, but to give a general idea...

I'm very interested in one or more of the following features:
* "Made in Hong Kong"/"Japan" mark dinos from the 70s, 80s and possibly early 90s
* Softer spray-painted highlights, rather than sharp paint schemes
* Hollow with gaping mouths
* Mint or near-mint condition when possible, though this is not a must for something old, oddball or scarce
* Largish size... 20 cm +

I'm also somewhat interested in the following:
* Non-standard or old-school features
* Oddball dinosaur creatures with combined features (e.g. "stegosaurus rex")
* Two or more heads
* Dragons

Having observed what most people here are into, I probably don't have much in the way of trades (unless you happen to be into the above!). I live in Japan though, so maybe I can keep an eye out for Tsukuda, Kaiyodo, etc. items that might facilitate a trade. 

Thanks for looking!

Is that what you're looking for? :)

Just keep an eye on eBay, that is the most common habitat for bizarre chinasaurs.

It is TQ! Thank you! :)

This one looks like it's a UK-only auction though so I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for the next one. Looks great though. I really appreciate it!

Wow, yes! I don't know how you keep doing that, but a few of those are major wants of mine. All of my searches passed many of those by, so you've really hooked me up again. Thanks TQ!! ;D
