TXA is for Madeupname Prehisterror!

Shelled out the princely sum of three quid in Poundland the other day; we buy this shite so you can too - they're really rather good and at two for a pound, worth a punt if you collect dinosaurs.

There are three pairs in what would appear to be an initial tranche (note the 'Series 01' in the bottom right-hand corner of the pack) from 'Total Extreme Action', certainly a phantom-brand; sharing a postcode with many other Poundland-exclusive 'brands'!

A medium small size of toy dinosaur and well decorated in at least four colours, some five, and - like pretty much all sets of dinosaurs - box-scale rather than a constant scale. The animals are moulded in a reasonably dense PVC-alike material.

There is no 'naming of the parts' so you have to guess the species, from top left to bottom right we seem to have a large raptor, tyrannosaur, generic kerthunkersaurus, dipp'y or bront', triceratops and spinosaur. And you can see the rule here is mouth open = five colours; mouth closed = four colours!

In-scale group-shot; these are nice models and four the money, you can't go wrong, although prehistoric-purists may want to tone-down the triceratops; that green makes him look more like an iced birthday-cake!
