Fun Express Vinyl Dinosaurs, Realistic Dinosaur Figures, Mini Dinosaur Toys - Dinosaurs (72-pack)

We bought these for science/paleontologist/dino party for my 5 year old. I love the picture somebody posted with the names of each dino so I assume these are relatively accurate. I love that they stand up on their own and have a wide variety of dinos (I think 3-4 of each so at least 18-24 different dinos).These are perfect size for decorations on top of cupcakes, would fit in Easter Egg (or similar size prize container) for scavenger hunt, for dino eggs (encase in salt dough and kids break them open), etc. We used them for cake decorating and for a volcano scene -- each kid got 8 oz (kids' water bottle size) vinegar volcano, a handful of pebbles, a mini-tree and a few dinos to set the scene before we erupted with vinegar. Today I also reviewed the trees we bought (2" size) so if you check those out and get the same ones, they look good (taller than the dinos but not huge).Enjoy! Have fun! VERY cute. Also a fabulous gift or gift enhancement for the dino-lover in your life, Probably smaller dinos but much better deal than the "dino tubes."

These are so cool. The variety of species and color is surprising. You could really geek out on these if you know your dinosaurs.I bought the 72 count, separated them into three piles, then gave one set to my daughter and the others to her friends in a cute little 'dino bag.' All three girls love them (yes, girls like dinosaurs just as much as boys!)We love adding them to our block play, making dino villages and bridges for them to walk across, etc. We also use them in sand play and water play (they sink, FYI). They would also fit inside most plastic easter eggs for a non-sugary treat.I guess they could be a choking hazard but only with some determination. They're small, but still big for a tiny mouth. I don't worry at all about my toddler playing with them (but she has never been one to put toys in her mouth, if she was I would just supervise more closely).

My 2 year old gets toted around to his two older siblings events constantly, and for a kid who finds being confined longer than 1.7 seconds to be torture, I need toys that can fit in my purse and give him some variety. He enjoys sorting these and making them "roar" at and fight with each other. And they're tiny, like smaller than your pinky finger, so he can play with several at a time. The best part about having 72 is that if one or two get left behind, we have back-ups! If your kid (or husband) puts small objects in his/her mouth, this is probably not a set for you as they could definitely get lodged in a throat with how tiny they are. My son is the first of my 3 who doesn't need to taste everything that fits in his hand so these are fine for him. He did try to stick one up his nose, but they aren't THAT small so no problem there. There are a lot of multiples of most of the dinosaurs, but you can't expect 72 different species of dinosaurs. I find it nice when my younger son has the "swimming one" that I can dig out another for my older son before wrestling ensues. These would fit great in Easter Eggs too. They also fit perfectly in every nook and cranny of your house so I'd recommend not dumping the whole lot at once; but hey, if you have spare time for a fun mommy treasure hunt, go for it. For a little more than a dime a piece, these were a good find.

We were a bit worried by some of the reviews and photos complaining of cheap-looking single-color dinosaurs, so we were quite relieved when the 72 dinos arrived today in vibrant multi-hued glory. Roughly 3 pairs (by color) of each of 12 different dinosaur types were included, as shown in the photograph, exactly 72 in all. The dinosaurs not standing in the photo would not stand up, though with some futzing (the plastic is fairly soft and can be adjusted with firm, persistent pressure) we may get all but the pterodactyls standing yet.Most of these creatures are about 2" long and about 3/4" wide (compare to the ruler in the photo). The pterodactyls are 1 1/2" tall with a 2 1/2" wingspan. Some minor flash is evident on some of the dinos (that's the little flat pieces of undesired plastic left over from the seams of the injection mold), which an adult can remove with a razor knife if it bothers them. When the package says they are not for children who like to put things in their mouth, believe them - the shape of some of the lower slung quadrapeds is such that they are a significant choking hazard. Besides, for the bi-peds, very small children are unlikely to be able to stand them up anyway - they teeter a bit and require a steady hand.Some reviewers have complained that the colors are wrong. But since we've never seen dinosaur skin, how would they know? It's a toy. Kids like bright colors (and these are very bright!). Deal with it.We also bought the Giant Bucket of Dinosaur Action Figures Playset - 32 Dinosaurs and Accessories, and they are much larger - the pterodactyls for example are 3" tall with a 4" wingspan, and are even more colorful (though you get fewer, larger dinosaurs at a higher cost). Whether you opt for the large inexpensive herd of small dinosaurs in this product, or the smaller more expensive herd of large dinosaurs in the other, I think you'll be pleased. I suspect we'll just keep both - maybe our granddaughter will have some grown up dinosaurs with a lot of kid dinosaurs. It will be fun to see where her imagination takes her!
