Cheap toys?

[Chimera778]

Can anyone suggest any cheap dinosaur toys that I can practice painting on?  I'm a little interested in trying to paint some but I can't find anything cheap enough around here to try on.  I've seen the tern "Chinasaur" thrown around a few times on the forum and I assume that refers to cheap toys, but I don't know which ones.

Thanks!

'Chinasaur' refers to basically any cheap plastic no-brand dinosaur toy. You can find them basically anywhere, particularly discount shops. They're good for painting practise because the sculpts are sometimes really well done so you can paint in tiny details like eyes.

Just go onto eBay, type in "dinosaur toys" and you should be on your way.

Here's an example:



This pack costs £2.79. The sculpts are pretty horrible, but you're practicing, so it's doesn't matter. Hope this helps.

Actually the "Chinasaur" pack in your photo contains two very accurate figures:

1.  The knock-off Styracosaurus (copy of the Battat Styracosaurus), and
2.  The WWD Ornitholestes

I know, they're Waiphoons.
