First Figure?

[EmperorDinobot]

@Takama  that brings me so many memories! I had every bit of dinosaur related software when I was a kid. #D Dinosaur Adventure but En Español, which had Carnegie 3d renders in its famously mysterious intros, Eyewitness Dinosaurs, Microsoft Dinosaurs, Dinosaur Safari, and of course Encarta 95 all the way to Encarta 2001. I'm looking them up on youtube. The memories are flooding in. Dinosaur Safari was my jam up until I wasn't able tp play it on Windows 95. I had Windows 3.1 and I could only play it there for some reason.

That's a fun thread!

My first figures were contained in a box of dinosaur and monster chimeras I got when I was around 2 years old, pretty close to these pictures:



My first purchase as an adult was the Papo Allosaurus. A colleague and current friend I met in late 2006 told me about Jurassic Park figures from a company called Papo. Then I found them somewhere, bought them and ... well, collected them.

mine are these vintage minis handed down to me by my dad who originally owned them.

How tall/long is the Moschops figure ? Never had any Marx figure on my own, nor any bootleg from other brands, so i'm quite curious

I used to have a lot of those figures, ah, the memories

it's about 5 cm x 2.5 cm

Thank you !
Do you know if those figures are the same lenght as Marx's original figures ? If so, i might start looking out for them. . . Marx's Moschops is pretty good ; and so are most of their other prehistoric beasts figures

They are a similar size to the Marx figures, perhaps slightly smaller. They are not as detailed though, but much more colourful. It seems that MPC's strategy was to target slightly younger children with cheaper, brightly coloured dinos.

I've been gradually collecting both in recent years and they are nice figures, though not as good as Marx.

I'll probably focus on Marx ; but as i'll also have to pay an arm and a leg to get them from accross the ocean, i'll probably have to settle on what's affordable, too. . .
