Vinyl Dinosaurs, Realistic Dinosaur Figures, Mini Dinosaur Toys - 72 Pieces

As with any listing for "700 SEEMINGLY UNLICENSED KIDS TOYS," there's a chance you'll get a bag of junk from the bowels of Asia. So long as you pick a seller with good ratings, however, you'll receive exactly what is advertised. In a boring transparent plastic bag comes 72 vinyl (plastic) dinosaurs, three to a kind (so 24 different types) that are maybe a tad taller or longer than one inch/three centimeters. They might be small enough for a stubborn toddler to chew and swallow, but otherwise they should satisfy any dino fan, as toys, decor, or becoming the dino guy that brings a different dinosaur to work every day.For people concerned about quality, I will note that I received two packages of 72 dinosaurs. I ordered one myself, but a friend ordered another pack for me, so I now have 144 dinosaurs that I can base this review off before becoming the dino guy. The two bags and their contents were identical, nor did I note any smells unusual for dinosaurs, so quality control seems to be functional. I didn't open the second bag, but the transparent bag shows a fair distribution of familiar dinosaurs. Both were ordered by sellers and fulfilled by Amazon.If they're so small and cheap, they must have weirdly detailed dinosaurs, right? Nope! I was (read: am) obsessed with dinosaurs before and could recognize many dinosaurs without references due to their features. First, there are a plesiosaurus and a pterosaur for the non-dinos (the pterosaur doesn't seem to resemble any exact species), and then a mix of herbivores and carnivores, with herbivores outweighing carnivores. A few I can list are: triceratops, stegosaurus, ankylosaurus, parasaurolophus. A few others with less common names are clearly present due to the facial horns, long neck, or what have you, although there are a handful of ambiguous ones. Of course, they are still tiny, Chinese-manufactured toys, so the details aren't as sharp as on expensive statues.For parting words, I'll say that even if you don't think you need 72 dinosaurs, you'll realize that 144 isn't even enough.

My 2 year old gets toted around to his two older siblings events constantly, and for a kid who finds being confined longer than 1.7 seconds to be torture, I need toys that can fit in my purse and give him some variety. He enjoys sorting these and making them "roar" at and fight with each other. And they're tiny, like smaller than your pinky finger, so he can play with several at a time. The best part about having 72 is that if one or two get left behind, we have back-ups! If your kid (or husband) puts small objects in his/her mouth, this is probably not a set for you as they could definitely get lodged in a throat with how tiny they are. My son is the first of my 3 who doesn't need to taste everything that fits in his hand so these are fine for him. He did try to stick one up his nose, but they aren't THAT small so no problem there. There are a lot of multiples of most of the dinosaurs, but you can't expect 72 different species of dinosaurs. I find it nice when my younger son has the "swimming one" that I can dig out another for my older son before wrestling ensues. These would fit great in Easter Eggs too. They also fit perfectly in every nook and cranny of your house so I'd recommend not dumping the whole lot at once; but hey, if you have spare time for a fun mommy treasure hunt, go for it. For a little more than a dime a piece, these were a good find.

We bought these for our daughter's 7th birthday party, as she is going through a dinosaur phase and wanted a dinosaur themed party. She was so thrilled. They were the perfect size to put on top of her cake in a prehistoric scene, as well as to put in "magic eggs" (baking soda and water made into a paste to cover the dinosaurs to look like an egg, then you "paint" them with vinegar to melt the dried baking soda away, having them "hatch".) We also put them in the grab bags.My daughter took one of each out of the package when we first opened it, and I was impressed she knew the names of most of them from her dinosaur book. She was excited to search out the ones she didn't know and figure out what they were as well.I loved these so much that I ordered a second set to make valentines for my 2 kids' classes at school. (You're DINO-Mite!) It was a huge hit for both of their classes.We always take a few with us everywhere we go for a quick go-to toy to entertain when waiting for our food at restaurants, standing in lines places, or when we're at the park and they're taking a break. Since they're so affordable, I'm not worried about losing them, and it's always fun when they decide to give one to one of their new friends they meet. We can always order more, when needed!
