While cleaning out my mom's attic stumbled upon something that though lost years ago My Marx Dinosaurs from my Childhood :).I have the whole set the only thing is the box that they were in was so warped and mangled squirrel chewing on it had to toss it.But never the less glad found them.Oh and little trivia two of these Dinosaurs appeared in a monster movie in the 60's can you guess the movie?

Been a long time since I've seen it, but it seemed a logical choice.

 I'm so glad those filthy rodents didn't damage those dinos!  They are fantastic!  :)

Dr. Madd

 Man, I love those Dinos.. I had the cool set as a kid, but I literally played them to death. I have one piece, a badly damaged brown mammoth.

I got the set for Christmas 1960. Still have most of the pieces but some are damaged. My set had no cavemen or prehistoric mammals only dinosaurs. Still have rock formations & most of the trees. Box & booklet long gone.

The Creeper

I had the set with the big cave structure with the river separating the two piece cave, rock dwellings and all the dinosaurs and cavemen.  Also had a big plastic mat that looked like the ground with rocks and stuff, and the river continued on it.  And it came with plastic trees too.
Long live the UMA!

Here is my other set that found the MPC Dinosaurs.I guessing that the MPC were either knockoffs or something of that nature not realy sure.But have a whole set of these too. :)

I Love those dinos! I had both the Marx and MPC versions as a kid, wish I still had them! I did get a bag of similar knock offs a few years ago at Wallywprld, but they aren't nearly as nice as the originals.
Crazy am I? We'll see if I'm crazy or not!

Thanks and here is some more MPC Dinos as you can see they liked to use a variety of colors.
