 Roots of D&D monsters in HK-produced "Prehistoric Animals" HA! http://diterlizzi.com/home/owlbears-rust-monsters-and-bulettes-oh-my/Fuckin' cool... and a bit of a mindblow for me, as I clearly remember having these toys when I was very young, but never made the visual connection when I got into D&D and began poring over the Monster Manuals, scant years later...

Re: Roots of D&D monsters in HK-produced "Prehistoric Animal FANTASTIC share, Mitch! Especially relevant for me, this particular week, as I've been spending much of my free time in Harmontown:

Re: Roots of D&D monsters in HK-produced "Prehistoric Animal I collect these too. Unfortunately... The owner of this Chinasaurs group threw an online "hissy fit" and banned me because I wouldn't sell one off my figs to him after a bunch of offers because according to him he was "The biggest collector ever" like he deserved anything he asked for because of it. He simply couldn't accept a "No". Lame.

Re: Roots of D&D monsters in HK-produced "Prehistoric Animal Oh man, extra lame. Seems no matter where you go on the interwebs, the trolls and weirdos are sure to be residing as well.
Anyhow, I have always loved these cheap monster toys of all sorts, but I had no clue about the DnD connection either, though I don't recollect ever seeing the art before. Weird I have not heard about it from any other toy sources too. Thanks for sharing the article!

Lame. Yeah, I saw that, I was part of that conversation at one point. This is the same guy who has shots of the pregnant/pierced/tattooed girls posing with his toys?

Re: Roots of D&D monsters in HK-produced "Prehistoric Animal yeah funny thing was after that....
I went to Long Beach to this antique mall to see if a box full was still in the back of this case i remembered.
It was still there and I made out like a bandit for cheap.

Re: Roots of D&D monsters in HK-produced "Prehistoric Animal Wow, freaking flashbacks for me. Thanks for posting this!
I recall trying to bend the bird guys head to try to get it to look forward.
I didn't see how he could fly looking off in the distance like that!
