P is for Poundland's Prehistoric Plastic II, not!

I don't know if we've had that title before, but in case we have I added the 'II, not' just to be sure, it seems a little obvious as titles go? Anyway, despite the best efforts of SARS-COV II Covid 19 to keep us from the shops for half of last year and the first quarter of this, my vape-habit meant I had occasionally to take my face-mask for a walk to Poundland, where I kept a look out for the Series II dinosaurs, of the Series I we saw here a while ago; still no dice, but they did have these as a sort of consolation!

The TXA is backed-up by a "Produced by PLOZ" of Walsall (West Midlands), so still a phantom brand or brand-mark, but for Poundland. These are larger than the pairs, still also carrying the Prehisterror line-title and only one per card and this time they didn't even have the "...rainbow-mauve Per'Terry-dactill!" I reported passing on back in November, but they did have the other four, so I grabbed them!

You can see why I passed on it, it was leerier than the image and far from being either a Velociraptor or a Per'Terry-dactill is more of a Foh-een-ix! I am reminded of the B-Movie about the big . . . dino-bird (?) hiding in the roof of the Chrysler Building and eating sun-bathers for breakfast - can't remember the name of it?

But these are OK for a pound-a-piece, the blue eyes are a bit zombie-like, but that's the thing with cheapies - the paints always a bit simple!

That's it, box ticked, they're out there, now, for a quid!
