The Monochrome Thread

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I wouldn't mind finding the ROM hadrosaurs..

[postsaurischian]

  Wow, cool! Nice pics everybody!
This thread was way overdue. Good idea, Stefan .

Some more Monochromies by Primaeval Designs .......

[Libraraptor]

Someday I will hunt down that green Stegosaurus and all the clear Invictas out there! Nice pictures everyone thanks for the contributions!!! I´ll add some moochrome pics of mine as soon as I´ll have faster Internet again!

LOL
I used to have the ajax ones in a big lot

[CityRaptor]

I have some monhrome eraser dinosaurs ( and a Dimetrodon ) based on moulds by Bullyland.  Also a monochrome Jurassic Park Brachiosaurus toy, should I post pics?

[Seijun]

Of course!

I love seeing everyone's monochromes!! Make me happy to know that I am not the only one fascinated by them also. My Invicta, Basel, Marx, Linde and ROM collections are complete - now after the others...

Is there any significance to the four white Invictas? They seem particularly crisp.

I think those are paint-your-own figures. Coupled with the Favorite, K&M and other similar sets, it's like a whole subset of monochrome figures!

[Seijun]

The white invictas were paint-your-owns.

The white invictas were paint-your-owns.

Are they made of the same material as the unpainted series or is it the softer rubber material as with the painted ones?

[Seijun]

They are made of soft rubber.

Okay, here are my Erasers:

They were made by Pelikan and based on molds by Bullyland. So obviously the result of those two working together.

And here is my JP Brachiosaurus. Came in a plastic egg with candy.

Maybe Sbell or a few of the other member have more info on the ROM figures. I have been told that they were cast in both gray and brown - though I have never seen a brown one.

Despite my enquiries at the ROM, I have found out nothing about the figures (timeline, who designed them, why those particular "dinosaurs" were chosen, scientific expert, etc)

I know that they have been recast & sold by a number of others (chinasaurs). Mods feel free to through this to a separate topic if you wish too. I put it in this one as they are monochromes.

[Horridus]

I remember the JP egg toys. Used to have a complete set...

The original figures were gray and came out in 1977.  There also were many multi-colored re-issues.

That's about as much as I would know--I remember seeing them for sale at the Calgary Zoo in about 1980-1982, but was never allowed to get one.

I have also read that they were released in tan, but Ive never seen pics of a tan one. Half my set is grey and half is a slightly browner grey, but none are tan.

[SBell]

I finally got around to posting these monochrome figures.

In back, a Merychippus and Archaeotherium.

In front, Mesohippus, Holplophoneus and Leptomeryx.

They need a bit of cleaning up, but are pretty cool.
