    Wow, you have all of them! I really like the two four-legged sculpts... strange to have two representations of the plated dinosaurs out of a total five toys.

    I've read somewhere that the catalog page actually has the wrong picture for the bottom group shot (which is a duplicate of the top photo). This was supposed to have been a photo of Miura Toy's mini figures. The cut off text looks like it says "[Minia]ture Kaiju - 200 yen." I wonder what these look like.

    EDIT: Oh wait, these must be the green Pterodactyl, grey Triceratops and orange Dimetrodon vinyls that onibaba owns. Maybe others?

    Yep, that's the one. Maybe it was your photo that I was thinking of. Minus the grey Triceratops, those are all of the Miura Toy vinyls that I know of.

    So I'm a little confused who originally made the Tetran & Beralgon that Hukkokudo reproduced? Was it Miura or Yonezawa?

    Got this mini Miura Triceratops in and lovesit!
    Are there any other versions or dinos in this line?

    @ Joe- Jim's photo above has the other Miura Toy minis that we know about.

    @ Lixx- Late answer, but Miura Toy is the company that produced the "Tetran" and "Beralgon." There is also a Miura company (different logo and name characters), but I believe it was a different entity.

    I blame it on the curse. :shock:

    Any clue on the bottom right guy in this pic?

    I found these recently- to my surprise, they were also made by Miura Toy (the mark is not visible here). Original tub-toy vehicles... Subwinder go!

    Holy shit, those are awesome...

    Daniel, do you know if they actually have propellers (batt op or rubber-band type)? And are they actually slush-cast vinyl or blow-molded polyethylene (weren't most tub toys polyethylene?)? Either way, they look killer. The lobster one makes my heart sing!

    Ha! Not to derail, but that totally got me thinking of the little support vehicle that came with the Starriors Armored Battle Station:

    Anyway, Jim, that photo of...Tetran (what was his original name again?? :oops: )...is delightful! Your photography has come a long way, man!

    Not battery operated, but they do have propellers in the back. Probably rubber-band type?

    They're definitely not vinyl. The casings seem like cheap plastic. Maybe polyethylene. I admit that I don't know enough to tell the difference.
