    Hmmmm....

    I don't know specifics.... but there were a few more like that. I can remember a 4 legged one with almost the same head.

        probably $15-20. I know that particular one was issued in the 80's and based off the mold and style of a previous way less detailed 70's version from Imperial. Does yours actually have a 1970's date, be interesting if it did. I know I posted pics at one time or another of the 70's brown dino he was based off of. I can dig out the link if you like


        for a lot of this stuff it is mostly hit or miss, but yours I have seen go for roughly the 10-20$ range but not more than that

        actually here are the previous 2 Brown dino versions he is based on:

            Pretty sure I had the '77 version.

              He was a very popular Dino- even being used on the cover of the Atari 2600 game Demon Attack (though chromed and made to look like a spaceship), He was also re-issued a bit in the early 80's
