Worst dinosaur toy

[pylraster]

Hmmm worst figures... I guess those Predasaur figures have to be up there. I mean... I'd rank the early Schleichs above them.

I don't think so, I consider worst the Dinofroz combact figures.

Another awful, awful dinosaur figure comin' at ya. We're all familiar with "screamers", those big-mouthed monstrosities you can find in cheap toy bins and flea markets. Usually they fall under the so-bad-it's-good category, but this is the worst one I've ever seen, earning it the just-so-bad designation.

You know your figure sucks when even the tripod has a hard time standing.


Oh look, he fell down.


This is what terminal scoliosis looks like. And that paint job... it looks like he had a bucket of watery pink paint dumped over his head.


With a face only Tim Burton could love.

Woah, it's almost ugly enough to be a White Post figure.

If India did become a mass producer of dinosaur figures(which i doubt), I hope they replace diplodocuses with Barapasaurus, replace the T rexes with Rajasaurus, etc

What does this hope have to do with the name of this thread?

If you go back, someone mentions about India becoming the new China of dinosaur toys

[Libraraptor]

Ah I see.  Yeah, a few years ago someone wrote this. You want more variation and not so many of those dominant species as toys, right?

[Rex King]

For me, it has to be Starlux.

[Stegotyranno420]

Starlux, they all look like freaks you will meet at your local bar(based on what I knwo about bars, I don't drink)

[Stegotyranno420]

? @Stolpergeist of course they have their unique charm. Yeah I'm a big Burian fan, since I played Carnivores a lot .

[Stegotyranno420]

Then I don't understand why you would dislike Starlux dinosaurs like that.

I mean they are charming but also freaky. Its kind of hard to explain

[CityRaptor]

Some sort of uncanny valley for you?

Because there are clearly worse. Inpros for example. All those Cheaposaurs, too. Also White Post. Their rarity is really the only thing that makes White Post collectible.

[Gwangi]

With vintage figures you really have to take their age into account. Starlux was like the Kaiyodo Dinotales of its time. Some are really weird and ugly but they're also some of the oldest prehistoric figurines ever made. Now as for White Post, they're just all around awful.

[Stegotyranno420]

You also have to relaize back then figure making was much more different and harder too.

The Starlux figures look amazing, to be honest (with the exception of the human). They are grotesque in a way that I love, and the aesthetic quality is great for that sort of approach. Despite my difference in opinion, thank you for sharing the photos @Rex King !!

I wish the freaks at my local bar looked like this. It would make the neighborhood a lot more interesting to have misshapen dinosaurs milling about.

I really like the first two. The creeper ornthopod and that yellow polka dotted theropod(?) with the stiletto heels. Hilarity ensues when you set those two up together in a display.

The derpy looking human is pretty good too.

[Stegotyranno420]

yeah the first one looks like the town drunk, and the second looks like "h****r (I cant describe it any better, I usually stay away from these topics, hopefully you get the idea).
They remind me so much of people rather than dinosaurs. Almost like a cartoon/tv show!

[Faelrin]

One of the things I appreciate about the Starlux line is the sheer diversity of animals from the Paleozoic until now, some that still have yet to have another figure made in all this time since (such as some of the Cenozoic stuff to my current knowledge).

Who knows maybe one of these days I'll try to hunt for some.
