 I like that Toppses! You will also like Marx  Yeah, they certainly have got their charm  I guess it aint easy to find them on purpose - they're mostly jumbled in lots. I don't think any seller would describe them as 'Topps', also, the brand name isn't on the figures themselves. Hope you'll find some of them nevertheless! And I sure will like Marx - for some strange reason I haven't got any of those figures yet. But this omission will certainly be taken care of ;D Thanks for the Dino Rider chas pic. I always thought that model used the tric body. You're welcome The Chasmo has the same body as the Monoclonius and Styracosaurus, so it's also quite small. The Pachyrhinosaurus has the same body as the Tric and Torosaurus though, maybe you mixed those two up a bit? And man... I really would like to find that Pachyrhino... but I'm certainly not alone in that |

Yesterday, at my birthday (such great timing!), something arrived I am extremely happy about: the Twistum 'Oldtimer' Brontosaurus   I have shifted my collection to the oldies and vintage figures since I started afresh with my dinosaur passion, so the Twistum was a bit of a must have... It's not in perfect condition, but considering his age (it's probably from the twenties, or at the latest before '32) and the low price I paid for it, that's no problem for me at all. This one isn't the 'crackle' variant that's also out there (and really nice) - there are also blue and red ones. I want to display it with the advertisements that were published in it's own time, with movie actresses from The Lost World, like this one: 2.bp.blogspot.com/_m6sVhskT_Fs/R6SdD6BEuwI/AAAAAAAABiQ/ubs89hStoCU/s1600-h/twistum.jpgI also got myself some new additions to my slowly growing Starlux collection: dancing Anatosaurus with Saltoposuchus (on high heels!! ;D)  unpainted Protosuchus, Monoclonius (without package, I already owned one on an eighties blister card) & mini Deinotherium  |

I was wondering if there are also other forum members who have a Twistum dinosaur? I thought to remember that someone got one for his/her birthday a while ago (and I am sure to remember I was quite envious about that, haha). I guess they are easier to find in the USA, so most chances with the American collectors? More Twistum fans out here? Edit: I used the search function and found out it was therizinosaurus who also was lucky to get the Twistums dinosaur for his birthday |
