Ferrero Kinder Surprise Italy 'The Flintstones' (2000) Set 1 - Pt 2 K01 No. 67 Dino in Dog House

For some odd reason, Ferrero Italy decided to include two Dino's in Set 1. Okay. It is what it is. This figure shows Dino breaking out of his dog house (only the roof of the doghouse was part of the set, the rest is implied).

While each figure is marked with the set number, most are harder to read. This one was easy to make out.

The tank from the 'STAR' set. If I were to use these as an opposing force, I would probably use  them as being North Korean. These toys were, after all, post WWII designs and made during or shortly after the Korean Conflict, so that would be plausible.

Ferrero Kinder Surprise Italy 'The Flintstones' (2000) Set 1 - Pt 1

So here's the deal: I've got a bunch of these Ferrero (Italy) Kinder Surprise/Surprise egg Flintstones figures but can only identify six of them to a particular set. The insert below shows six figures along with several additional pieces and I'm speculating that the designation "K01' means 'Set 1' or perhaps 'Series 1'.

For size, I'm going with 60mm

The first vehicle of the 'STAR' set we'll look at is the Landing Craft. Okay, we've covered the landing craft before back in early February and this one looks the same as that one except for the stickers, but hey, I wouldn't feel as if I've done the set justice if I didn't post these photos.

The one thing I really like about Payton landing craft is their ability to hold tanks, trucks, Jeeps, and figures. It's a proper landing craft - for a toy that is.

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 67 Sets: Pt 9 Payton Vehicle 'STAR' Set (Dark) with Star Appliques Pt 1

For the next few days we'll be covering this set of landing craft and three vehicles which I picked up many years ago. Payton was known to sell items with stickers and this set has a a red star in a circle on all the vehicles shown. Was that meant to signify an opposing army??? The set was perhaps sold in a header bag and probably included a howitzer, but I'm not sure though if the multiple gun carriage was ever a part of it.
