About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

D is for Dinoshelfies!

Shot these in The Works the other day and they are therefore current, and it's a sort of a visit to old friends as some of these have been painted to look like the several-issue set of six we looked at a while back from Out of the Blue, Poundworld-Plus, Poundland-Funtastic, Lollipop-LP, Henbrandt and TKMaxx.

6 To Collect; Chinasaur Dinosaurs; Chinasaurs; Collect Them All; Dinosaur Eggs; Dinosaur Models; Dinosaur Novelties; Dinosaur Set; Dinosaurs; Dinosaurs For Pocket-Money; Realistic Dinosaur Sets; Realistic Dinosaurs; Reign of the Dinosaurs; Shelfies; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Spinosaurus; Stegosaurus; The Works; Toy Chinasaurs; Toy Dinosaurs;
"Collect them all" it says, but doesn't tell 'little Jimmy' how many there are! Shop stock box of dino-scale dinosaurs toward the larger size, so nice for 54mm figures - did anyone, ever, issue a fully in-scale set? British Museum had a stab, but the bronto-diplo (?) was small and the dog-face big.

These seem to have two decorations for each model and you don't need to look for other branding, they are all in the same box! Although I can't say it's a fast rule as there were only one each of the last two (bottom right).

A third iteration comes with the individually boxed ones who have a cheaper paint-scheme and come with a giant egg ('realistic'?) and small palm to eat . . . if they are vegetarian. You can see the further-back stegosaurus is the one mirroring that other line of similarly sized Chinasaurs.

Three were available for shelfying, but I assume all six are out there, perhaps you would need to try several Works to find one which had got the carton 'with the other three' as an 'assortment'? The Works - Chinasaur Dinotoys, out now!
