Look Out, Velociraptor!

Not many dinosaurs have the name recognition and instant notoriety that Velociraptor has. Thanks to Jurassic Park, a whole generation of kids have come up terrorized by idea of the speedy carnivore.

If you're someone, or you know someone, with Velociraptors on the brain, then you might be interested in this plastic Velociraptor dinosaur figure made by Safari Ltd. It's a great dinosaur figurine, sculpted in a dynamic hunting pose and hand painted in colors that are quite possibly realistic for how the terrible lizard might have actually looked. Pair this one up with the Safari Triceratops dinosaur toy that we mentioned last week, and  you have the makings for some dramatic dinosaur combat!

Available at a low price from the Wild Animal Store, a great source for animal figures, animal replicas, and animal toys.

Triceratops Plastic Animal Toy by Safari

Hey look, it's everyone's favorite Cretaceous herbivore - the fierce, sturdy, but kindly Triceratops.

Actually, we know very little about Triceratops, but I imagine them as gentle giants browsing forests and plains and raising their young in herds, only to be occasionally hassled by carnivores like Tyrannosaurus Rex. Herbivorous underdogs of the Cretaceous? It's a pleasing idea even if it's all fiction.

At any rate, Safari Ltd. has got us covered when it comes to providing us with a great animal toy version of the Triceratops. Wonderfully detailed in a lifelike pose, hand painted with realistic colors, this guy can sit on your desk or on your shelves as a conversation starter or he can be added to your child's toy collection where he will launch all sorts of creative and imaginative play.

Sold by The Wild Animal Toy Store, a great source of plastic animal toys and animal figurines.
