Does anyone know of any Astrodon toys/figures that have been made? I live in Maryland (Astrodon is the state dinosaur), so it would be really exciting if there was one, but so far I haven't found any.

The only Astrodon figure that exists is this one by Saurian Studios. I'm also In Maryland and would appreciate it is someone made and Astrodon.

I think the Raptor Red novel is the the only place I have really heard much about Astrodon.

Yeah, I looked at the Unique Species Reference List after I posted this (as you can see, I'm new hear). However, I haven't been able to find anything on that specific figure.

There is another. But I imagine you won't find it very satisfying. It's from a line of Transformers knockoffs called Dino Corps, made in Taiwan in the late 80s:

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Interesting. I feel like I've seen that somewhere before.

Is this officially labeled as Astrodon? Cuz then I need to ditch it from the USL...

I believe so.

Yes, although the same series renamed the Triceratops to "Polacanthus," and the Ankylosaurus to "Dacentrurus," following in the long tradition of knockoff companies assigning nonsensical names to their products.

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no
