T is for Toy Fair 2020 Reports - Padgett Brothers (A-to-Z) - (1) Paint Your Own Dinosaur Sets

We may have seen these before, but if we have it would only further underline the point I was making elsewhere the other day - that of the lack of urgency in these posts due to their paucity of time-sensitive contents! A to Z's Jurassic Beasts; Dino Discovery, Paint Your Own Dinosaurs . . .

When I say 'seen before', I know we've had paint-your-own dinosaurs before, from The Works and Mellissa & Doug for certain, and somewhere else for sure, I don't know if we have had these specific sets?

I cropped this shot to show a couple of other lines, the Relic Dig sets we've also seen before in passing, while the fire-engines are a bit infantile and don't have figures so, pah!

The six-animal one is likely to be the better value, but Padgett are 'rack-toy' importers so wherever they end-up, the unit-price is likely to be kept low. As I may have said before the sculpts are likely to turn-up elsewhere as factory-painted models under another/other brand/s?

The larger, single models look to be very-well sculpted indeed; hardly 'Chinasaurs', and while kids will inevitably cover them in garish schemes, a serious painter could have a lot of fun with them . . . not that a serious painter can't repaint already decorated ones (they do-so with stunning results on the animal-collectors' forums), but a blank-canvas can sometimes help the ideas flow!

The paint mix is a little better in the six-animal sets, I would say, some of these are going to end up pretty bright! Again; both the stegosaur and the T-Rex are nice looking sculpts.
