    Dinosaur Love



    Like a lot of boys (and many girls) I went through a passionate "Dinoasur phase" in the late seventies, this was the "Pre empire period" in between Star Wars and just after "The Black Hole" rocked my world. My choice of figures to collect were these English made figures by a company called Inpro (Thank you internets).

    These figures were crack to me, I absolutely adored them and will hunt them down again with the exception of one, this guy who is still in my possession after all these years.


    Triceratops, my favourite of all Dinosaurs (I'm not sure as to the why) even followed me to college, he's never leaving my side.

    I love how they aren't to scale with each other.

      What the Teradactyl is doing to the dino in the middle is just wrong!

          A great reminder of simpler times when all you needed was your imagination.

              Wow--I had these and had forgotten them. They eventually became monsters on Eternia when I got into He-Man.

              Yet another nice trip down memory lane--thanks!

                Dinosaurs and green plastic toy soldiers gave me many hours of enjoyment as a kid.

                    And how ashamed the Sabretooth Tiger looks.

                      Actually and this is really funny, I recall the Tiger had a look of total surprise on his face. I used to make fun of it.
