Actually i think i found them on ebay, it was simply called dinosaurs magazine believe it or not. I may bid on them but shipping is a whopping $20 so i don't know. They were geared more toward kids and there were i think 67 issues.

'Dinosaurs!' magazine was released In the UK too. Each issue came with part of a rex skeleton, then, eventually, bits of skin! And then, 'Swap It' dinosaur cards, I have the whole set several times if anyone is interested!?

It's not that it's so good - It's just that here is something more wholesome about a magazine compared to a toy. Some of the articles I find disappointing, the quality varies and there are often too many artists restorations and not enough photos of actual fossils. Just my opinion though. I can totally see how the mag would fall to pieces - I feel like I have to be careful with it as soon as I take it out the envelope, the cover is made of the same paper as the rest of the pages and because the mag is quite chunky it feels like it is going to come away. I really should get around to sending my plesiosaur article to Mike by the way. And maybe send an ad for our forum or a request for toy reviews for our blog. Maybe? |

Unbeknownst to me, I'm also mentioned in this issue of PT! My artwork is mentioned in the Scelidosaurus article by Beeson - that was a nice surprise!
---
I'll put an ad together then.

Yay, you and me both mentioned on the same issue ;D I have not seen or read your depiction of the new scelidosaurus; so what is your take on the new Procon figure? Is it accurate? I read that the spikes were thought to actually belong on the shoulders like the new figure shows. I would be interested in your opinion. Have you meet Anthony Beeson in person? Maybe you can suggest some species to him for procon to make  Unfortunately my personal Salvat photos did not make it in the issue  It is rather ironic that Randy did not use them when he complemented my collection photos  Maybe my photos were just a bit "staged", more studio look than rather than collection display Oh well, him mentioning me spiked up the Collectors Quest page visitation so I'm happy ;D |

On this issue, Randy mentioned a very rare Bullyland figure, a Procynosuchus. Does anyone have this figure or have seen it? If you have one, can you share a picture of it? I'm really curious to see what this critter looks like. Hmm, maybe sbell you have one?

Randy Knol mentions it in this month's PT--the Procynosuchus was a special product for the Stutgaart museum.
Doesn't say when they were available though--maybe they are still there--anyone from Germany, or nearby, that can find out?

So, I am happy to say that the new PT issue is out (at least, it has reached my mail box, so it must be out now). Anyway, for those who don't yet have it, I can proudly point to the front page at the first headline--Largest T.rex discovered! This is referring to the skeleton of Scotty, who I mentioned earlier as have a femur that measure significantly larger than any known tyrannosaur, and possibly any carcharodontid. The article is not credited, but it was co-written by Phil Currie and Lara Shychoski (maybe others--there are a lot of people working on it). Anyway, there it is in writing--not a research paper, but written in the record that Scotty is a big, old T rex. There is also an ad for our upcoming conference. It will be discussing research on late Cretaceous terrestrial faunas (enthusiasts are welcome as well--still have to pay though). The website ( dinocountry.com/?s=263&p=263&0=263) is way too wordy, but does say more about it. how big? |

But apparently it is quite appreciable, in terms of overall mass (in length, Scotty is shorter--his skull is quite high and boxy, compared to the skulls of many rexes). |
