How often do I shake it? Er.... Anyway, here's some more non-figure stuff, starting with some delightfully retro postcards I unearthed. These first few seem to be part of a set - they all have the same look about them. Let's start with Tyrannosaurus himself!  "Trachodon"  Iguanodon  Ankylosaurus  Some other miscellaneous ones - Dimetrodon and Triceratops   Finally a couple bought at the Natural History Museum during the '90s, both T. rex of course.   Now for something completely different...a couple of plush toys I own. The one on the left is a roaring (well...actually it sounds exactly like a cougar growl) Tyrannosaurus apparently made by a company called "Great American Fun" (in China). I bought it at a Dinamation event as I recall. The one on the right is an early-'90s PG Tips promotional item - the sort where you had to send off a stack of tokens. As such he has the 'PG' logo on his chest. As a kid I christened him 'T. Tips' (full first name - Tearannosaurus).  Finally a couple of shots of that Castagna T. rex.   And I'm done! |

I have (or used to have maybe, havent checked the attic) that orange plush rex. I also had a green brachio, blue trike and purple stego from the same set.

AWESOME retro stuff   The Castagna Rex is really cool... It was already painted that way, or you repainted it? |

I used to have that Dimetrodon card. As you can probably see when you lay all the cards down together they formed like a mural, supposedly showing the passage of time throughout the Permian through to the Cretaceous, thought actually it just showed a couple of iconic beasties.
Used to love the art work despite how outdated the Dinos were though. The T.rex picture was great - if I remember rightly, he was actually stepping on an Ornithomimid's tail to stop him from running away, kinda like something you see in Tom and Jerry.

I do remember that they formed a mural now you mention it. Don't suppose you have any of the others? Would be great to see them again!

The king of Jurassic Park returns...this guy really is enormous. Love the sound effects!  Here he is with my other recent acquisition.  If you were wondering about the puny human, I disposed of him... |

You know it is a good idea to keep everything just in case it somehow skyrockets in value in a few years.
