Vintage 1970's Classic Inpro Dinosaurs

[JurassicMatt]

Please do my man. It would be cool to have another full collection in existence. So, how do we go about getting these ones?

 

[Cazza]

I'll pm you now...

[Cazza]

Hey @Cazza I found a handful of these 1970s inpro dinosaurs at the carboot at the weekend they were inside a teacup randomly. There kinda cool only £2. I'm wondering how many are there? Is there a list.

I believe there 16 in total the majority have inpro 1972 the others just the name of the dino or no markings and released in 1977.

Is one of this 16 a lost mould?

Are they cheap to collect? I reckon it's very niche

Cheers cazza

@poncho sounds like a great find! Any pics?

Here's the list:

Brontosaurus
Plesiosaur: the rare 'lost' Inpro model
Saltoposuchus
Heterodontasaurus
Corythosaurus
Allosaurus
T-Rex
Pteranodon
Mammoth
Dimetrodon
Stegosaurus
Smilodon
Triceratops
Protoceratops
Trachodon
Ankylisaurus

+ Chivers Jelly mailaway- How The World Began
+ painting dioramas (MEGA rare!)

There are lots of knock-offs. The original line was harder plastic. My theory is the softer versions are a late 70'S re-run. Anything with more garish colours are knock-offs.

I still have quite a few, if you need them. They're fairly cheap, at least compared to vintage SW!

Heres the bundle I got ive got 6 inpro and the other 5 are generic similar era small dinos I think @Cazza

 

[Cazza]

Brilliant- you got the Trachodon, which is definitely one of the hardest to find. Good work!

Cool I've no idea I may see I can find the other 10 now lol. Are bottom 5 of any note? Or just just the generic era dinos / chinasaurs. Cheers cazza

 

[poncho]

Thanks for info @Cazza

Don't think so- just regular generic dinos.

Hey @Cazza found a cory in a 3 for a pound rummage box of small toys today at the booty

 

[Cazza]

Awesome- one of the harder ones. Rubbery or hard plastic?

 

[poncho]

A very hard rubber one the body is solid but there is a tiny bit of flex in the feet.

I bought a new old stock sealed plesiosaur this week . The brontosaurus is tricky too find saw one this week but I got out bidded. Another will come along I'm sure.

Wow, any pics? Do you mind me asking how much?

Yep, Brontosaurus is difficult. I might have a spare...

 

[poncho]

£14 buy it now old new stock seller says there late 70s and he has more for sale he said he would put up another for sale if you want. It's the Dinocrats version of the plesiosaur/loch ness as this is marketed as it comes with an old stock sticker too
