Hi Woodsy.
Im replying to your recent request for pictures of a dinosaur playset.
I received the Marx Prehistoric Times Playset when I was very young,and it started a lifetime of fascination with Prehistoric Life .
After all these years,all I have left of it is a few of the dinosaurs, buried deep in storage.
What I do have is this Land of the Dinosaurs Playset, found at a flea market about 10 years ago.
It contains the rock and cave formations of the Marx Playset, with a selection of dinosaurs in some new, bright colors.
Of particular interest is the large purple T-Rex,which is the original Marx sculpt, later replaced with a slimmer T-Rex in a livelier pose

Wow, that is a magnificent playset! I woulda died and gone to heaven, as they say… SFZ
ReplyDeleteSuper set - jam packed with prehistoric fun!! Is this the Toy Street version or The Marx Toy Co. (aka Marx of Miami, or Modern Marx) version?

DeleteI think I have those dinosaurs as part of a Flintstones Marx playset I picked up at an estate sale a while ago. Not an original but a 1990s reproduction.

ReplyDeleteI like the play value of a caveman with a club vs T-Rex.
ReplyDeletePrimitive he may be but he managed to travel millions of years back in time!
Being a Boomer, I grew up with the Rudolph Zalinger reconstruction of T Rex as a tail dragger. Over my life, more information has emerged and he is now seen as an agile biped!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great playset. I had a couple of books on dinosaurs, but no dinosaur toys at all. I would have loved a set like that.
ReplyDeleteI think Imperial released similar shiny small dinosaur too, in header carded bags. Fabulous set Brian, what prehistoric fun!
