.
. . and now I have a herd of Tobar Styracosaurus'siziz!
I
went back and got another quid's-worth of Iwako
dinorasers from Hawkin's Bazaar,
swapped the ridge-plates and set them to grazing with the first pair!
Putting
away the various odds and sods that have come-in over the last three or four
weeks I found another pencil pecking, polymer, paleo-critter. It's one of the
kerthunkersaur family, but not the full-on Ankylosaurus, a
Nonkylosaurus perhaps!
This
one marked with a small 'China' but possibly from an older moulding/mould-tool.
The rubber is similar to those cute woodland animals, dinosaurs and Baba the Elephant family given away by petrol
stations in the early 1970's.
It's
a form of silicon I think and makes for shite graphite-removal, preferring
instead to smear it round the page!
Glad to find your blog, actually in the 90s I got a set that was a copy to the deiner dinosaurs, but with two extra dinosaurs that I dont see these days in the deiner dinosaurs sets, they are these:

In the other hand, with the mammoth and the kentausaurs, I just had these two dinosaurs along a brachiosaur and a plesiosaurus, I only conserve the kentausaurus and I've been looking for years these molds (this was the way I located your blog), I remember they came as promotion with a new cookies in my country circa 1993-1994

Hi Anonymous, I have a follow-up in the pipeline with various older sets, and more modern ones, and to be honest, I'm not sure my Deiner ARE, as they aren't marked? But the trouble with all this stuff was that it tended to be copied and/or jobbed to various clients, so we'll probably never know the whole story, but we should be able to at least ID the various 'lots' or issues/tranches!
ReplyDeleteThe two links aren't showing anything?
