So ................ whilst wandering around the Costa Blanca over the last couple of weeks I found a very few of these figures. I only found two stockists who both insisted that these were the last stock as they can no longer get them (having said that, dino toy pickings are very, very slim in Spain  ) There are some unusual figures in this set such as Diceratops, Hypsilophodon, Microceratops and Saurornithoides (strange choices for such things). The Posto is quite nice (easily the best figure) but a little tubby  The primary set is made up of figures that are 3' long but these come individually with a set of micro versions that are about 1' long. Sadly, I couldn't source a whole set and did give the Brachio a miss as it didn't appeal Anyone know anything about these?  Rear packaging showing full set.  3' figure packaging  Single 3' figure and micro versions. |

Wow!  The theropods are quite nice, actually... I don't know who made 'em, though  |

The Saurornithoides seems based on a drawing i've already seen somewhere, completed with the rat in the mouth and pose  |

Several of them appear to be eating. That's cool.

Most likely it would be Zalambdalestes a Eutherian and possible primitive relative to rodents and humans. This animal looked and probably lived like a modern elephant shrew. It was about 8 inches long and probably burrowed for insects. It lived at the same time as Saurornithoides in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia.  |

And let's be honest, most theropod hands are placed the wrong way....

They are...but surely feathers would be likely too? Troodon is depicted with feathers these days.

Cool detection indeed! Their Microceratops is great!
But why are still so many companies incapable of making half-decent looking Dimetrodons?
