Thanks alot man....those things are way too cool...Im only paying a buck so id assume thats a good deal...how hard are they to get ahold of??

[Soupie]

Don't know, but I'd never seen one before the linked article a few days ago.

I don't know how Soupie's never seen them before, but I sure have in this forum. They are bootleg minifigures from Extreme Dinosaurs. Hang on a sec, I'll pull up links to previous ID threads with them.

You'll notice the first two threads have painted figures. Those in particular must be the origin of the molds for the bootleg ones, but the one thing I don't remember is where those came from.

Ha, no, I'd never seen any of those threads before. Thanks for sharing.

Incidentally, I've referred two non-LRG people to this subforum in the past week. I've been waiting for them to join and post their queries.

You used to be able to find these in Transformer Beast Wars boots you'd pick up at the dollar store or Big Lots. Thats where I got all mine.

[BaltanII]

But where did the original Extreme Dinosaurs minis come from? For some reason, I suspect we never got them in the US, and this is another European minifigure line, but that's only because I've never seen anybody over here with a painted figure. Plus Stronium Dog had four Spikes in one lot!

Im guessing that they are european too, id like to know how many figures are in the mini toyline i myself have the 4 main characters
