I may be wrong but I think that stuff is part of the old Ideal Jaws game, you would fish the junk out with out jaws chomping you. Not sure how many trash types they had. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ideal-The-Ga...item20d01e605c

I remember having several 3 to 4" non articulated rubber figurines which looked like reddish/brownish cavemen with painted green outfits which resembled a cross between loincloths and toga style shorts. Some of these figurines also had painted black boots. They were sold mostly at dime & drug stores and also offered as carnival prizes during the mid to late 70's. Anyone remember the name of these little guys and/or the company which produced them?Comment

Need help with this Dinosaur, it is a model/action figure, as it is poseable after it is put together, dug out my old models and found this and some other goodies

And any chance anyone has parts for this guy? I need a left paw
Thanks, KenComment

>Looks like one of the remakes of the aurora allosaurus.
Yeah.... although it looks like the tongue was modified. The original has swaches of drool coming off it. This'll help:
Weird bit: the Monogram boxes don't have the drool; although I don't remember ever seeing an actual KIT without it. Yours doesn't have it either. It kinda looks like flash, so I could see someone filing it off; (I almost did on my first one) except with your kit there doesn't seem to have been an attempt at removing any of the flash or seams on any other parts.

I built this in high school, didn't file anything off, just put it together right out of the box, pretty sure it is a snap together one. Looks like it may have been from the same mold as the prehistoric scenes one, with some minor changes. Scrolling down on that page you provided, I am pretty sure it is the Monogram one from 79, thanks!Comment

OK, got a mess here. This is just some of what came from a large box of stuff I bought. Anything that was marked "Marx" was set aside. Everything here has no marking at all, except for some COO ones (Hong Kong, China, Singapore, etc.).
Now, I'm sure some of it can be cheap-o generic stuff or gumball machine junk, but I am also certain much of it can be from various different Marx playsets. Many are also most likely are remold Marx.
But I thought I'd post some pics. Anything that can be ID'ed, please let me know.
Here is the "I got too lazy to neaten it for pictures" picture.

I've always though collecting all the small plastic toys like dinosaurs and cowboys and indians etc would be a fun but very challenging toy hobby. There's got to be hundreds of different ones. Sorry, can't help with any identifications though.Comment

Several of those dinosaurs are from Marx, as is the stone archway on the left. Other companies (even to this day) reuse old molds from these companies so it's hard to tell what's vintage or made by who. But the stone archway is a giveaway that someone at some point had a Marx playset.

I have some stone archway pieces in different colors and a box for a Marx set (similar to the one you posted, but different).
I have another bag of dinosaurs that I think are ALL Marx that I did not take a picture of. It seems to me all the Marx ones have the name of the dinosaur and it's real size marked on them. They are a bit heavier and more detailed than others. Could some of these unmarked dinosaurs be Marx? That is what I'm trying to find out, but I do not think so. I am almost certain a lot of the ones pictured belong to a similar 1970's set, but I have only seen boxed examples on eBay.
Out of all the stuff I want to get ID'ed, the thing I am most interested in is in the previous post to the dinosaurs. It's a small little green devilish guy with a pitchfork.Comment
