I had Spinosaurus and Psittacosaurus like you've mentioned as well as Ankylosaurus, Deinonychus, Struthoimimus, Anatosaurus (Anatotitan), Protoceratops, Triceratops, and Polacanthus. But not Tyrannosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Ultrasaurus, unfortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-14560993005614559912009-11-24T00:19:34.394-05:002009-11-24T00:19:34.394-05:00well in the defense of the definately dinosaur spi...well in the defense of the definately dinosaur spinosaur, it came out 15ish years ago, and if you look through any dinosaur book of that era (except gregory paul's incredibly cutting edge [for that time] book) that's what spinosaurus looked like. it was the finding of baryonyx in that same era that lead to the realization that the whole family had a croc style head.<br /><br />i had a few of these as a kid, as back in the 80's they were the only version of many of those dinos around... no other toy company bothered with spinosaurs, polacanthus, or psittacosaurs (all figures i bought with my hard earned allowance).<br /><br />definately by today's standards their dated and lame, but you kids today are spoiled :P <br /><br />there is the tune of me as an old man in the rocking chair "you kids don't know tough! why, when i was your age my spinosaur action figure had a blunt snout!!!..."
