Dinosaurs .. Thou Shall Not Covet Small Boys Toys

Part of fatherhood or should I just say in general parenthood, is that you are always "seemingly forever" clearing up toys. Every now and then a toy can stop you in your tracks and makes you 'smile' (Lego for example) but also every now and then a toy takes you "aback", as in "Wow, cool! I want it!" (As in - see below):


This beauty (T-Rex) fits nicely into the category of "causes Daddy to day dream of 28mm Victorian Explorers from (Copplestone Castings, Perry's and the like) being chased a cross a wargaming table" (see below):


Perfect for 28mm, don't you think? (see below):


Inadvertently sneaking up on him/her in a jungle clearing and wondering can you get away before "it" turns around. I can almost hear the Jurassic Park "snort" of the T-Rex getting the first whiff of the heroes and villains in its nostrils (see below):


Don't worry, it made it back to the toy bucket ... well this time ;)
