D is for Dinky Dino Egg

Under their Dinosaur Adventures label comes this third (?) offering from The Works, a quite large capsule egg, filled with quite small Dino's! Contents are nothing remarkable but they're fun for kids and more models for dinosaur collectors!

Typically the bottom unscrewed first, but with no clue as to which is the right end, you go with the flow until you realise both ends come off, but only the pointy-one is actually open!

A dead dinosaur is a bit macabre, I guess the toy-maker was thinking along the lines of "It's a fossil", but is a tub of 'live' dinosaurs; it's just a picked-clean dead one, isn't it? Also of interest is the triple palm-tree in the common/current style of the typical pair in front.

You can see from my pointing finger how small these are, not the teeny-size of those micro erasersaurs which were around a year or two ago, but small enough!

Most of the favorites are there, but no Dimetrodon (fussa-russa!) and two of them are bigger and may have been seen before in other sets, probably as generics? Note also how the larger pair are up-scales of; or down-scaled to; their smaller clone, suggesting all are out there somewhere in both sizes, possibly as part of a bigger pose-range?
