Well, as a kid I had several "first dinosaurs" - they were mini-sauruses packed together in a plastic bag... Man I loved them so much! But I clearly remember one toy in particular which was my most favorite - a purple Triceratops! It was my biggest toy and most detailed.  |

Mine were the Marx dinos as far as I can recall - got 'em for Christmas when I was 5. The playset was the one with the stone arch over a river, with a man-made (primitively) bridge. That set got used extensively for all my action figures.

Was it this one? Probably. If not, something very similar. It'd be easier to tell if the box had a photo, rather than a drawing. |

My first ones that I remember are 2 plateosaurus (or any other prosauropod) One was solid gray and the other was solid black. The appeared to be a 'Marx' size. But if they have anything to do with Marx, they're just bootlegs.

I don't know that I used it much. I do remember a brown T-rex, and I think a blue-gray styracosaur. |

Not sure for me. I do remember getting two small dinosaurs that were actually pens (a sauropod and a Dimetrodon), both of which I still have, when I lived on the mainland, which must have meant I was under 6. The others I remember getting were got on the Island.

The 1978 AAA dinosaur line that look like chinasaurs. That line includes: a Stegosaurus, a Sauropelta, an Iguanodon, a Dimetrodon, a Triceratops and a Diplodocus. That line has been knocked-off many times.

I had no idea of what my first dinosaur toy was
until i found a picture of me as a toddler sitting next to a toy box filled with nothing but baby toys, and holding an Imperial Triceratops and T-rex in my hands.

I think mine was the Imperial Styracosaurus... my grandma bought it by mistake I was asking for a triceratops. Nonetheless, I got the Triceratops a few days later. Life as a kid can be so simple and fun >)

Sinclair and Marx figures. I also remember going to a Sinclair dino park, with full-size statues. I definitely remember a T. rex and Brontosaurus, but can't remember if there were others. I'm pretty sure there were. But, we're talking quite a few decades ago! A few years ago when I was visiting back home, I found my original souvenir booklet from there. Now, I only wish I still had the original figures.  |

Hmm, first dino-toy.. that would be either the weird hollow vinyl theropod (maybe a Chinasaur?) or my Dor Mei Brachiosaurus. Vinyl rubber dino toys were great in the community pool. XD That is until someone argues with you about dinosaurs and you hit em with your water-filled Brachiosaurus.
Good times. Good times

Around 1970 or 1971, my brother and I got a pair of battery powered dinosaurs, a Triceratops and a Tyrannosaurus. The battery box was attached via a cord and you could make them walk. I don't remember them that much but we have slides photos of us at Christmas playing with them. They're long gone.
The first toy dinosaur figures I had were the red, yellow, and green Tim Mee figures from the early 1970s. Then I got 13 of the 24 MPC dinosaurs at K-mart around 1974/1975 and got a Marx Prehistoric Mountain set and toy dinosaurs around 1977. The rest is history. I still have them all today.
