Vintage Dino Profiles: Marx Struthiomimus

Gosh, at the rate I'm going here on the blog I may even finish this Marx dino series this year!! LOL Wellll, since the last update I did manage to take down the Christmas train set-up and some of the outside Christmas decorations, but the tree is still up (can you guess it's a fake tree?). 'Took it down' - doesn't necessarily mean put everything away! Yeah, things happen at a snail's pace around here, just too busy to mess with things.

The Struthiomimus (STRUTH-ee-oh-MEEM-us: meaning Ostrich mimic) was a relatively small-ish dinosaur of the Late Cretaceous in North America (Wyoming and Canada) around 76-74mil years ago. In size it ranged anywhere from 14'-19' (4.3m - 5.8m) long depending on the specific species and apparently was so abundant that it may be considered an herbivore/omnivore but not a pure carnivore, but it looks like that is still being debated. Our Marx version measures 3 1/4" (8.25cm) L x 2 1/4" (5.71cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
