Exciting, indeed.akum6n wrote:Posting a reply since toothaction slyly added a couple of incredible new finds to the database.
A previously unseen Giant Gorilla and Placerias turned up recently. Both are on cream vinyl. The Gorilla is painted similarly to the light blue vinyl release; the Placerias is painted similar to the Grumble Toy exclusive version on yellow GID vinyl.
Curiously, these painted cream vinyl versions were bagged with the later version blue header used with the Grumble Toy set
Unpainted Placerias and Titanis on cream vinyl have turned up in the past. This suggests to me that there is also a painted cream vinyl Titanis out there.
The way these painted versions turned up is puzzling. The header suggests that they were released at the tail end of Butanohana's dino production. The cream vinyl suggests that they were produced at the same time as the Edmontania, Iguanadon and Protoceratops, but were somehow not given a wider release.
Very odd, but it is always exciting to 'discover' toys years after they were produced and sold.

Argh, that means some ass-hat handed Our Man Buta a pebble and then walked right over to Mandrake to get a rock! Rrrrrrr.akum6n wrote:The cream Placerias is definitely a new release. The staples in the header were very fresh- no visible wear or rust as there usually is with old stock or stored figures.
