Who made those? They are really neat!
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

Ditto! Want.

The poor Leptomeryx has lost most of the flesh on its near hind leg!

Well, here's the bad news--those are probably one of about 4-10 in the world of each, and nobody else will probably ever get them! :))

They are models from museum dioramas that I needed for the T.rex Centre at work, with the understanding I might make personal copies, but that I am absolutely forbidden to share, trade, give away or sell.

And yeah, that Leptomteryx figure has leg issues (at least this one has its tail).  The molds are not exactly FaunaCast quality (they are from the late 80s).

There are others that I am trying to get for the Centre as well, so if I get any others I'll post pictures! Still can't give any out though.

Bother. I had a feeling it may be something of the sort. ;D

But should you ever feel the remotest inclination to have that Leptomeryx's leg fixed and the model painted (or even the whole set), I offer my services.  ;D I promise I won't pinch it.  ;)

We will probably be able to do most of the fixing here--but I may take you up on the painting! At least for mine; the Centre ones may just be done in house.
