Discover with Dr. COOL!!!

[Loon]

Dr. Cool, esteemed paleontologist and toy sculptor, famed colleague of Dr. Steve Hunter, and all around cool guy, is here to show off some of his radical Prehistoric Collectibles!

This line is called "Discover with Dr. Cool", I can't seem to find to any pictures of these online, but I assure you, the word discover has not been associated with such scientific accuracy since the Discovery Institute.

These were found at Hobby Lobby, so I guess they must have cost a small fortune and your decency, and boy, are they something. There were some extant animals, who seemed pretty generically bad, like inflated Chinese dollar store toys, the reddish-pink hippo was especially choice, but the Prehistoric animals....they sure were something...

They're made of a soft material, kind of like recur toys, and seem to be ripped off from various pop culture representations, but some are do out there, it's nuts.

I'll go from least terrible to the most.

Spinosaurus:

With Spinosaurus's look still being so up in the air, I would call this a decent attempt. However, it is just a rip-off of this


Tyrannosaurus:

Not too terrible, just a jp rip off, though.

Stegosaurus:

Seems to have the throat armor, so not too bad. But, we're about to jump from decent to....

"""""Caudipteryx""""":


I mean...at least it's a dinosaur...

And finally, the reason I wanted to share these gems, this Terror Bird:

Not too terrible, the beak's a little short, and the eyes are too crocodilian, but overall, it's dec......It has hands. No Terror Bird had hands, some may have had claws, but not Jurassic Park Velociraptor style paws. So yeah, Dr. Cool, I'd skip it.

I would absolutely buy that terror bird, it's cool enough to justify how wrong it is, can't say that for the others.

I saw these at a toy store in Rochester, MN over the Halloween weekend. I hadn't seen them on this forum and should have taken pics. Glad someone did. They had a few nice species and figures. Large, soft, and very dynamic.

[Faelrin]

That feathered one would make a better Velociraptor then what it is intended to be. That terror bird is odd, but I guess it emphasizes that birds are dinosaurs or something.

I'd like know where "Dr." Cool got his doctorate...

He faked it because that's how 'cool' he is.

I like the terror bird despite its many flaws.

He wouldn't believe in feathered dinosaurs (if he would believe in dinosaurs at all) if he went there. I am still convinced that he faked it to sound cool.

[tyrantqueen]

I got a good chuckle out of your description. Thanks for that.

I've never seen any sort of dinosaurs at my local Hobby Lobby. I guess it must be only the big stores that stock them.

[DinoToyForum]

I like the terror bird despite its many fclaws.

Fixed that for you 

[Nanuqsaurus]

That terror bird definitely lives up to its name.

There is no faking for Dr. Cool, he is real, and a genius. Stephen Hawking? A nerd. Carl Sagan? C'mon... Neil deGrasse Tyson? A phony. Richard Dawkins? A monkey man. Robert Bakker? A huckster. Charles Darwin? A crybaby. Galileo? Pfft.... Dr. Cool is the greatest scientist to have ever lived, all who question him will be sacked.

What innovations in science did Dr Cool make? Exactly, he is a big fat fake scientist.

 Bealive it or not, there is more to this line then just these Dinosaurs

[Jose S.M.]

The Styracosaurus looks like the Papo one. Also the Allosaurus head sculpt doesn't look that bad.The Iguanodon is another that is not horrible but it seems to lack the thumb spikes. And the Microraptor looks surprisingly well feathered.

[stargatedalek]

Is the Microraptor also large and vinyl/soft? If so I'll have to get around to finding it and the terror bird at some point.

I should of Clarifyed that these are not my photos, there from a Facebook users Timeline.

I saw a photo of the Microraptor, and it is large. However i do not know if its all soft

I would hazard a guess that they're all soft, since none of the Dr. Cool figures I saw at the store weren't.

The Tyrannosaurus looks like the Recur one.
