Worst dinosaur toy

They even LOOK toxic!

That's for sure.  Very fitting.

And my monkey brain is certain that they are delicious fruits and I should put them in my mouth.

HAHA MEEE

Is this some kind of reference joke I'm not getting?

Those figures, I feel bad for the poor workers who have to make those : (

[Faelrin]

@Duna Yeah that's both yikes, and not unexpected with the nature of these. But you having them means there's a tiny bit less out in the world ending up in the hands of children where it could harm them, thankfully.

@Stegotyranno420 Yeah I agree with you. It's really unfortunate that there are, or were people out there that have, or continue to contribute to the production of things like these, where they can harm someone, other then themselves too, if possibly to only make a living. What a sad and cruel world...

Yeah, it's a reference, but I'm also one of those idiots that has an instinctual urge to eat tide pods because they're brightly colored and vaguely squishy and unfortunately those chinasaurs look to be a similarly squishy texture and have bright colors.

No, I have never actually eaten a tide pod. But some days are harder than others.

Why will anyone wish to eat tide pods? What strange times these are...
@Faelrin
I agree, I wish everything wish everything wasn't so complicated and everyone could have a fresh new start at the world where our oceans aren't filled with abandoned toys and bottles and our skies have the fresh air our ancestors once breathed . So many harmful things, just in dinosaur toy collecting. I actually sometimes wonder if the cheaposaurs I played with actually may had caused some health damages that I don't know about yet, and will haunt my senior years...

Honestly perhaps one of the worst figures of dinosaurs, made about the 80s of the last century but for me they were one of my first dinosaurs and I have a lot of affection for them. At that time talking about dinosaurs at least in my environment was like talking about a chimera. That does not mean that they are horrible considering that they are now more scientific and a thousand times better done, but considering the context of this time they were for many pre-adolescent children like me, true jewels.

@Duna Those are certainly charming in their own way.

Yeah, I like them a lot. Charming and ... highly toxic by the way ... 

Don´t touch! Otherwise you´ll soon grow a third arm

Because the companies actively choose to make them look like candy.

You're late! Now I can eat popcorn, drink a Coke and type on the keyboard at the same time.   

@Faelrin Yep you are right. I think the world is a bit safer now for our kids talking about toys compared to those in the 70-80s. I have a lot of vintage Chinasaurs on sale, and not only I suspect they are toxic, some of them I do know even the amount of lead and cadmium they contain because they have been tested. https://tamararubin.com/2019/08/another-reason-to-avoid-vintage-toys-1985-imperial-toys-t-rex-7872-ppm-lead-this-would-be-illegal-if-made-today/
When someone asks for the vintage dinosaurs I have on sale, I always ask them if they are for adult collectors of for kids, and despite risking to lose the sale, I explain to the parents that they are highly toxic for kids if put in the mouth and won't sell to them. All parents have thanked me that information and some of them had still bought me some other dinosaurs I knew they were safe.
My 5 year old girls know about it and always ask when they see a retro-looking dinosaur that I have just bought whether they are toxic or not, they won't even touch the toxic ones.


But "scream-sauruses" are a wonderful part of dinosaur toy history and they make incredible collector pieces. I respect them a lot and I collect some of them, just for history.

Very odd.

[Faelrin]

@Primeval12 Thank you for sharing that, haha. Oh that's just great.

Also, any idea what animal that was intended to be, and the company behind it? My first impressions makes me guess it could be from Starlux, because they do have some real charmers, but of course I have no clue.

[Gwangi]

That's the Starlux Saltoposuchus, @Faelrin.

Ya, it is Starlux. Someone else posted it but my friend made that painting of it.

Please @Primeval12 ask your friend Sylvana to draw this, too  I will die!


Truly talking, it's a totally accurate figure of .... Burian's drawing from the 70s and Kleinwelka Saurierpark sculpture.
