I hadn't mentioned this pack before because it's the hardest to find – it's the first to sell out whenever these get restocked at Dollar Tree! Dinosaurs are popular with kids.

Dinosaurs

As we've come to expect with this series, you get two each of eight different models (so 16 total pieces), divided this time into green and orange sightly soft plastic.

Dinosaurs

Above you can see stegosaurus (left) and triceratops, along with a reference 28mm fantasy figure. The stegosaurus is 60mm in length, which is roughly 13mm scale, and is missing its characteristic tail spikes. The triceratops is 50mm long, or roughly 9mm scale.

Dinosaurs

Above, you can see brontosaurus and dimetrodon. The brontosaurus is 60mm long, but its true length if stretched out would be closer to 80mm, so the model is roughly 6mm scale. At 65mm long, the dimetrodon is about 27mm in scale.

Dinosaurs

Couldn't identify either one of these, but they are 50mm and 55mm in length.

Dinosaurs

Two more mysteries, but 55mm and 50mm long.

Dinosaurs

Size comparison with a Kryomek figure.

So what can you do with these toys? If you want to stage a dinosaur hunt, the problem is that they're all different scales. If you can live with that, fine.

If you want to use them in fantasy, then they can be any size you want them to be. Some of these might take riders in 6mm or 15mm scale.

For science fiction, again, if they're aliens, they can be any size you want them to be. It seems they would be easily modded if you want to add sci-fi weapons, too.
