Deinonychus's (Incomplete) Collection

[Deinonychus!]

This next beast is the AAA Dimetrodon, specifically the larger one. It's got a rubbery texture and a pleasantly wiggly tail, and vibrant turquoise scales.

Something about its posture and anatomy reminds me of old reconstructions of Spinosaurus. If you look closely, it only has 3 toes on each of its hind feet. It's very lizardy, but i've always really liked it despite that.

On this side of its face, it appears to be smiling. The other side is more neutral, or perhaps irritated? I have a few other AAA figures in storage, but you'll get to see them eventually.

This next figure is a very mysterious one - a Ceratosaurus of unknown origin.
It's got webbed feet, a hollow body, a pleasant shade of green on its top half, and a nice wiggly tail. I remember reading a book where it described Ceratosaurus as looking like a dragon, and this figure reminds me of that.I have a few other figures like this one somewhere, a Triceratops with sharp teeth and a very polite looking Dimetrodon to name a few. There is no brand information whatsoever on this figure, not even a "made in china" stamp.Figures like these are always interesting to me, because it's so rare to see one more than once. And while scientifically accurate figures are a good thing, there's often not much to say about them. I think that's part of why I like these kinds of figures so much, they provide some nice contrast next to other, nicer looking figures.

Today's figure is another ceratopsian, a little Styracosaurus.
This is one i've had for a very long time. I'm not sure I can remember not having it. It's got a very simplistic mold, but it's very recognizable as Styracosaurus, with that big horn on the tip of its snout and its spiky frill. It also has a nice, long tail. Also, if i'm remembering correctly, it floats in water? Not 100% sure about that
I've named him Banana, for his yellow and green coloration. His horn is also remarkably banana-shaped. He's one of the smaller figures in my collection, but definitely not the smallest!
Here is a size comparison with two Hotwheels cars. In terms of Styracosaurus reconstructions we've definitely come a long way from this guy. But as a toy, his small size and solid plastic body makes him very veratile for a variety of environments.

Ok, next figure! This one is the MPC Brontosaurus, in purple. Another one of my favorites, and another one that I've had for a long time.
It has a very simple and retro design, being molded entirely in purple with a mostly smooth mold and a dragging tail. Sauropods in toys are often hard to come by, but this one is a good one. It's got some personality, I like it.  I have named him Grape. And here he is with Banana. They're like a little duo, I feel like I always have them both together. Something kinda funny is that these two are on the same table as my Safari LTD Deinonychus. It really shows how different dinosaur toys are now compared to back then.
