Vintage Dino Profiles: Marx Revised T-Rex

Marx's revised T-Rex is one of the most drastic revisions they made to their original set of dino's. He went from looking like he had eaten one too many bronto burgers, to someone who has fallen on lean times! Hmmmm - Paleo Diet? LOL Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Vintage Dino Profiles: Marx Pot Bellied T-Rex

Marx's first attempt at a Tyrannosaurus Rex (meaning: Lizard King) was a bit comical - the guy looks like he just finished eating one too many bronto burgers! The T-Rex was the apex predator of its time during the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous epoch of the Mesozoic era some 68-66mil years ago and found in western North America. They would have preyed on the likes of ceratopsians, ankylosaurs, and possibly sauropods and may have been both a predator as well as a scavenger.  It was among the last known non-avian dinosaurs to roam the planet before the Rock From The Skies fell to earth and put an end to the dinosaurs reign at the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.  Marx's T-Rex measures 4 1/2" (11.43cm) L x 3 3/8" (8.57cm) H.
