MY DINOSAUR PAGE - MARX FIGURES PART 4
Here I feature Dimetrodon and Plateosaurus and I'm not sure what else. I am not done with this page yet. Your guess is good as mine.
I later added Cynognathus to the page. They are very small figures. They don't take up much space. So I can add something more. I think I will add Iguanodon and Moschops. Moschops is big and fat. It will fill up the page.
Here are four Dimetrodons nicely marbled. You can never have too many marbled Dimetrodons - I always say.
The Marx Dimetroden was in two differnt mold groups. The first was the small figure group which had seven total figures but five diferent. The mold had two Dimetrodons and two Plateosaurus figures. The second group was the revised mold group with eight total figures. The dometroden oin th first group has marking under the belly which the revised mold group figures didn't have. The next two picturres illustrate this.
We are done with the Dimetrodons. It was fun, but we can't stay here forever. Let's move on to the Plateosaurus. These two species are nothing alike.
These Plateosaurus look like they are dancing. They might be at a prehistoric disco.
Finished with the Marx plateosaurus. Put a fork in them. They are done. Now we got the smallest prehistoric beast from Marx Company. Ceratogaulus? No! That is the smallest beast for rival plastic toy dinosaur company, MPC. The smallesrt for Marx is Cynognathus - a small lizard like thing with a big head and big front teeth. It was part of the small mold group. The small mold group was supposedly lost before the company went bankrupt. That is why you don't see any reissue ones from other companies. (Same with Sphenachodon and Plateosaurus.) The Dimetrodon and Triceratops - gthe remaining small mold group figures, survive in very slightly different from in the Revised mold group of eight figures. All eight were species from other mold groups which got changed slightly in seven out of eight cases.
It's too bad about the lost small figure mold. I would really like to see these small mold only figures in bright colors like some of the remake companies used. Marx Compnay heavily favored the natural earthy colors like dull green, light gray, and brown. That's rainy day colors. You need some more sunshine bright happy colors.
Next is the Iguanodon. The Iguanodon was one of the first dinosaurs to be named back in 1825. Dinosaurs before this didn't know what to call each other. It was a very confuisng time. It was like living in the George Forman household where he and his four sons were all named George.
The first picture is of a bunch of Iguanodons - none of them named George.
I got plenty of room left on this page; so I will put up a few pictures of the Wooly Mammoth. I have a few in strange colors.
Here is Moschops. (Rhymes with pork chops.) Moschops is a big fat plant eater weighing about a thousand pounds. It lived about 250 milion years ago during the pre dinosaur Permian period along with the Dimetrodon which ate them.
