I love that you can collect little figures for years and still find stuff you have never seen before. These are three such figures for me. The Pegasus is made of rubber, the blue dragon plastic and the green whatever is also plastic. The green thing is marked hong kong on his belly and is a little bigger than the chinasaurs you see all the time. The others have no markings.
3 weird figures 70s or 80s maybe

I believe the blue dragon is from an old Diener set. I will see if I can find the name. I know at least one way it was sold was as part of a carded set that had other weird animal creatures in it--I actually owned the packaged set at one time but am not sure if I still do. I have him in green and yellow. What throws me off is that yours is plastic. Both of mine are rubbery.

I have some diener aliens that are hard plastic.
I have always assumed that they are bootlegs.
Maybe the same with the dragon?

A bootleg sounds right. The ones in Frank's picture look a little crisper. The Pegasus also looks like it would fit with the Diener mythology figures, but they don't have stands.

I've had a few plastic Dieners in the past from a few different sets so I second that, that its just a boot.

Couldn't find the packaged photo, but this is from an eBay listing for one of the Diener serpents:
http://www.ebay.com/...=item43cfc98665
"This listing is for a vintage dragon eraser made by Diener Ind. He was released as part of the "Itty Bittys" eraser toy series in the "Charm Animals" collection. He is in good condition with very minimal wear. He measures about 1.5'' tall and is marked Diener Ind. Inc. He is made of a squishy rubber."

the green dino-type figure is from a 6 pack of non-dinos packaged bagged with a card that reads "Cretaceous Times."
