While I had all the dinosaur stuff out it felt right to do a few shots with everyone's favorite Great Ape - King Kong! Kong is a Play Along Toys figure while the T-Rex's are mor recent Safari Ltd figures. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
Marx's first attempt at a Tyrannosaurus Rex (meaning: Lizard King) was a bit comical - the guy looks like he just finished eating one too many bronto burgers! The T-Rex was the apex predator of its time during the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous epoch of the Mesozoic era some 68-66mil years ago and found in western North America. They would have preyed on the likes of ceratopsians, ankylosaurs, and possibly sauropods and may have been both a predator as well as a scavenger. It was among the last known non-avian dinosaurs to roam the planet before the Rock From The Skies fell to earth and put an end to the dinosaurs reign at the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. Marx's T-Rex measures 4 1/2" (11.43cm) L x 3 3/8" (8.57cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
