At the exhibit they had a machine that for a small fee would make a plastic dinosaur for you as you watched! I'm fuzzy on the details but it either poured hot plastic into a mold or vacuum formed it, then dropped it down in a tray for you to get. And they were still warm. Hmmmmmm. :-)

Hmmmmmm. :-) Those came to the State Fair of Texas here in Dallas when I was a kid (I think I was in the neighborhood of 8 years old). They were billed as the Sinclair dinosaurs, and my brother and I each got an injection-molded plastic triceratops. A couple of those dinos reside in Dinosaur Valley State Park here in Texas: www.roadsideamerica.com/a...Edino.html Ah, good times... Kezilla

They had the exhibit and, yes, the dinosaur toy making machines. I think I got two of the dinosaurs and they may still be around here somewhere.

Yes, Dave, I remember going to the World's Fair and seeing the life-size dinosaurs. I was only 5 years old at the time, but I clearly remember being afraid of the Triceratops. I'm pretty sure it was because the eyes were on my level, not towering above, and they looked real. A few years later my father brought home a huge bag of those wax dinos they sold at the fair. He was an auto mechanic and I think he worked for Sinclair. For years they sat in our basement, dozens of them...long gone now. My favorite dino-related toy was the Mattel Strange Change Machine. I loved the machine and the prehistoric plateau that came with it. The actual dinosaurs weren't so hot, so instead I played with my Marx dinos on the diorama. Frank Dietz www.sketchythings.com

Apr 29 07 4:35 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Oh, I had the same dinosaurs, and I remember the movie! I just remember those suckers as unbreakable (unlike many toys). The movie probably cheated.

Aug 17 10 10:33 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	creepycrawley wrote: One of the best dinosaur toys I had as a kid during the sixties. It was a battery-operated Trex. The Trex was brown as I remember and had a wire running out to a cynlinrical control-box. When you pushed a button he would lumber along slow as mollasses, but his eyes glowed red and his jaw would make this grinding sound that was supposed to simulate a growl. I got it for Christmas and later found out my parents ordered it through the Sears catalog. The same year my sister got a battery-operated dog and, of course, we would have a fight to the death, or one would fall over. I wish I still had that toy. Does anyone remember this toy? Charlie "WHAT IS THE LAW?" I had that toy (got it in 1969), but mine was green My brother had the Triceratops, which was brown. I've been looking to see if there are any old Sears Wishbook page scans with pics of it on the web. No luck so far. Slightly off-topic (still about dino toys, but not vintage ones), I recently got my hands on a Papo Tyrannosaurus figure. The quality and detail is amazing, especially for something less than 7 inches tall and selling at $20. It's a good thing they're not in scale with each other, or I'd be tempted to collect the whole set.

From Wishbook Web - http://www.wishbookweb.com/ Here's The T-Rex and Triceratops from the 1971 catalog: http://www.wishbookweb.co...rsWishbook.1971.P100.htm I couldn't find them in the 1969 catalog. I had them both, cool fights.
