Dinosaurs!

I have been trying to collect a decent set of scale (1/48th, O, 28mm) dinosaurs for awhile now.
I've been pretty lucky so far and have quite a few now. I found these guys the other day at Tuesday Morning for $5.99. I figured $2.00 a figure isn't bad for these guys.


They're pretty close to the correct scale (and hey, who says all dinos are the same?). Here they are with a converted Heroclix mini.




They're aren't perfect by any stretch but they can be with a little help. The good? Close to scale. There is some nice detail in them, the T-Rex even has the bottom of it's feet sculpted (for making footprints), and they are pretty cheap at $2.00 each. The Bad? The seams are really clunky on them, but I figure a little x-acto knife magic and, probably, some green stuff and they'll be in good shape. They definitely need a new paint job, though the T-Rex is pretty OK.




One final bit. The side of the box pretty much sealed the deal for me. These bullet points make absolutely no sense.
