A few years back I won a small yellow mini dinosaur at our local nickel gaming arcade. I didn't realize how cool he was until I got home to play... inspect, and then wanted to win a few more. When I went back, the stock was changed out for Valentines crap, so I never got a chance to get more. I left him on a shelf and promised T-Rex I would find his companions, from time to time. Last week I was bored and did some internet searches and finally found some sources. It was obviously a party supply thing, and our local Zurchers had them (not a mile away from the gaming arcade of course). So for 5.99, I got a baggie of 48!...
Plastic drool! So many kinds! I think there was two bag options, each dino has its own color, but two different color options per bag choice. I picked the bag with the bright red T-Rex vs the yellow as I already had a yellow one. A red T-Rex is more menacing anyways. Yet right now, I am thinking of going back and getting the other bag.
So there you go, 12 different dinosaurs in awesome bright neon fashion. The Vinyl is so-so soft, but not too squishy. The texture feels leathery, and many have spikes and fins. The painted on stripes are simple but striking. They're about a couple inches long, by an inch tall or so.
They are not too Neon as you would think, my old camera really hates taking them all at once. I have to say they are by far the best collection of mini dinosaurs I have ever seen. They are also on Amazon, if you would like to join in on the awesome fun. For July, I just might have to do 101 things with them! :)
