What on Earth is that blue one? Have never seen it before. Sinclair oil company from somewhere back in the 60s Here are two more pics. The figures always are children of their time and tell us about the way dinosaurs have been interpreted throughout different times. I´d like to continue this series and call it "times are changing". Times are changing 1: Kaiyodo hunting Marx  Times are changing 2: Linde and Kaiyodo Stegosaurus encounter  |

Yellow, Green (dark and light), Blue, Orange, Pink... hmmmmm those were the "pure colours". Also some strange "goldish" colours existed: www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/7-sinclair-oil-dinoland-dino-dinosaurs-ae-60s-mold-aPractically any colour the liquid plastic from the machines had. You chose a mold and then the machine started create the figure in minutes. I already have 4 of them (a 5th is on the way). As far as I know, they were: -Trachodon -Triceratops -T-Rex -Ankylosaurus -Corythosaurus -Stegosaurus -Brontosaurus (2 different versions) |

My Kayodo Protoceratops doesn't have as much red on the face. Agreed--the red on mine is very subtle:  |

That blue Protoceratops looks exactly like a series of illustrations that appeared in Dinosaurs! magazine when they profiled the genus. It's EXACTLY the same colour too.

Hooray! Hooray! Does anyone remember how disappointed I was when I thought I had lost that John Sibbick letter during my moving?! I searched for it for one and a half years without a clue. Now yesterday night I opened a book I thought I had scanned for the letter before. And there it was!!   |

Probably, yes. He didn´t give information about the particular species, however. John Sibbick wrote about his current project - contributing to an Ice Age book. He writes about his early days and that he was lucky to have a job like his. He has painted prehistoric beasts for 30 or so years now and he has the impression he didn´t even "scratch the surface". And he wrote another important thing: Without dinosaur enthusiasts he coul not continue Now to something completely different: What do you people think? Is this the smallest ever Dimetrodon toy?!  |

Nah, there is a smaller one--the bouncy ball one!  Or this K&M mini:  |
