Here's a classic mash-up: Dragon Master.
The 'fantasy monsters' are our old friends the LP aliens - these one's suckered - and here being recycled as part of the sword and sorcery craze. I saw it on auction so saved the snaps a while back.
And its a Larami toy and not LP!
There's a bar code over the word Master, so its relatively modern as LP aliens go.
Do you like it?
Larami developed the line into proper dragons and warriors like this one.
and a sub-set of pocket puzzles.
Here's the same 'LP' set shown first - now called Fantasy Figures - released by someone else, Tiarri Management Services of N.S.W - New South Wales? Was this for the Australian market?
Tiarri were busy too: here's their dinosaur mash-up - are they Imperial's - with two unknown dragons at the top.
and what appear to be robot orcs and goblins. Are these from another line?
I am familiar with the 2 mystery dragons in the dinosaur set.They have become known as "Patchisaurs" or "Chinasaurs".I remember these from my childhood, hidden in a bag of Dinosaurs and looking very Kaiju- like by comparison. There's a number of different styles, some are said to be Dungeons and Dragons knock offs.I have a whole bag of them around here so.ewhere.If I find them, I will send some pics.
ReplyDeleteThat would be great Brian! I wondered if the robot orcs might be from Blackstarr?
DeleteWow! Being a alien figure collector, and dragon collector, and medieval knight collector, these sets pull at all three heart strings! Waaay cool Woodsy. And now, the hunt is on...
