Boneyard Pets

Description

Far from extinct, say hello to the most "bare-bones" dinosaur models on the planet! These ultra-simple dinos come in sets of 1/8" thick recyclable Komatex PVC sheets, a material that feels like a hybrid of hard plastic and foam. A single-page sheet accompanies each set, numbering parts and providing brief assembly instructions. Putting together the dinos entails matching numbers on the labeled pieces: 1 to 1, 2 to 2, and so on. A small amount of sanding of the tight-fitting pieces (using the included sandpaper) is necessary, but most pieces slide in without any trouble. (Some of the smaller pieces in particular may require adult help.) Once finished, the models assume striking poses - vicious, but adorable.

The Standard T-Rex has 31 pieces and measures 16" long by 14" tall. The Mini has 14 pieces and measures 9.5" long by 6" tall. The Dilophosaurus has 44 pieces and measures 16" long by 12" tall. The Standard Velociraptor has 40 pieces and measures 16" long by 10" tall. The Mini has 15 pieces and measures 10.5" long by 7" tall.
