An Indominus Rex in PVC

The Indominus Rex stands approximately 50mm tall by 70mm wide and is highly detailed. This specimine is one of three in this new mini Jurassic World collection which includes the Indominus Rex, 'Blue', and a T. Rex. Hopefully I will able to get back to the Dollar Tree and pick up the two miniatures.

"Oh, Indominus wasn't bred. She was designed. She will be fifty feet long when fully grown. Bigger than the T. rex." —Henry Wu

I count four colors being used for its body and the inside of its mouth. It eyes look convincing. Take notice of the very large hind legs. Should I paint its toes the same color as its front claws?

Another Miniature from Mattel's Micro Jurassic World Collection

Pyroraptor

I recently acquired this pyroraptor for my collection micro dinosaurs collection.

Although I am not sure the type of plastic used for these miniatures, but I believe they might be cast from PVC.

Lost & Found

Someone lost these characters and I had the good fortune of finding them. Both are made from plastic, one, the dinosaur is crafted from hard plastic and the other out of sort of rubber like plastic.

Because of his florescence I take this guy out with me wherever I go at night and he keeps my feet on level ground.

The other creature I found; I just let him out to do his business as he doesn’t seem to have a very high IQ and has the tendency of getting under foot. That is, he doesn’t watch where he steps and has on more one occasion has almost crushed me under foot.

Miniature Stegosaurus

Fossil Excavation Kit

The miniature Stegosaurus, made from a dense plastic, stands approximately one inch tall. It came encased in a plaster egg. The package included two excavation tools that were supposed to allow you to dig through the plaster. I resorted to using a knife. I found the three Stegosaurus bones and once I cleaned the three components and I was able to snap the Stegosaurus together. The package also came with a black display stand in which the specimen snaps into. I found that a drop or two of super glue kept the miniature in place on its platform.
