    Can't remember the name of this toy...

    When my son was younger, we'd got him this Jurassic park toy.
    It was a drawing table.
    It had a big arm that hung over the top of the table.
    Attached to this arm was a flashlight (sorta).
    On this light, you could slide in view master reels.

    When on, the flashlight thingie shined the view master reel image to the drawing table.
    It gave you the outline of the dinosaur to trace it.

    Ring any bells?

      ahhh very close.
      A quick glance for trace n draw on ebay shows me pics very similar to what we had.
      Funny, I remember a table it attached to, but now that I see the pics..I think it was just a solid base the arm attached to.
      Ours was specifically Jurassic Park themed, which I did not see at first glance…but we are getting close!

        my gosh, I am foolishly going insane not being able to find this toy lmao…
        Heck, maybe I imagined the whole thing…Sean has no memory of it when he was younger, so I have to start figuring out how old he was - wait a sec…I might have Xmas pics of it somewhere…lol

              I logged into my cloud and looked over my pics real quick.
              This thing was pre-2003, possibly pre-2000. Sean was born in 1995 and he doesn't remember it.
              The base wasn't a table now that I remember, it was a plastic C-Clamp that you screwed together.
              The flashlight/projector thingie was green I think.

              I don't think we would have bought the projector and slides separately…seems like it was branded Jurassic Park lot..least, I am 99% sure.

                I am still surprised I cannot find any trace of this toy in Google images or eBay...it's like it never existed.

                maybe this is a quest for Jordan....

                    Nope, thanks though.
                    It looked a lot like this I think...
                    The head was green I think and the base was a little different - it was designed to clamp onto the edge of your desk.

                      whatever it is, I bet its being used by a lot of today's comic pros.

                        I love Jurassic park

                        The only thing I can think of that you are describing is:

                        Tyco Design 1996 The Lost World Super Sketch Projector



                        I hope this is it

                            Jurassic park merchandise is in high demand right now.

                            These are not extremely rare, but difficult to find

                            glad to help you out bro. I'll keep my eye out for one for you
