There seems to be more than one item on that page. Which one exactly were you looking for?

Man, I would kill for one of those sets. Dougal Dixon's speculative fiction is awesome. Must of read those books a million times growing up.

Mainly the kit of the huge evolved bat, but the treedrummer looks pretty cool too. And the mudgulper. I am also interested in waht appears to be a stop-motion animated movie made in Japan featuring Dougal Dixon's creations. Me, too. I have his After Man, which I got at age 14 in Junior high. I also have his New Dinosaurs, and I got Man After Man as a college student. I also have an Omni article about a different (better, actually) version of evolved humans, with art by Diz Wallace just like the After Man book: www.geocities.co.jp/Technopolis/9540/anothermanafterman.htmlOnly one thing bothered me about After Man, and that in his intor, Dixon explained that Man was eliminated by medical sceince, which allowed people with disorders to survive, resulting in overpopulation. This made me feel guilty as I was one of those persons. I even wrote a story as a teen about a hemophiliac kid on the run from government population control.

Funny thing--I once met Dixon, while looking over his books (at a seller at an SVP meeting). He said he would sign them if I bought htem, but I just couldn't do it.

I enjoyed both After Man, and The New Dinosaurs as a boy, and purchased both books in collage. Those look like like very neat figures! Too bad they also look to be one of those impossible to find sort of items
