I can’t say I’d like to see more chest-beating dinosaur figures like these and even as a young’un it was quite obvious that this figure was merely a cliched representation of a pop-cultural icon. Each Monster in my Pocket had a value of points from 5 to 25 and the T.rex was one of the most powerful of all monsters, naturally. He (or she?) has a small raised boss on its rump, with the number 25 engraved upon it. The flattened face and stubby tail make the figure look almost humanoid. The squishy rubber figure has some nice details, some fleshy lips and a covering of course scales.

Impressively the model balances perfectly on two feet, striding purposefully forward, perhaps looking for a Triceratops to beat up. There is one notable accuracy, the number of digits is spot on as each foot has just two little claws…no, wait a minute. It looks almost nothing like a Tyrannosaurus, but I won’t waste my time going into the reasons why, as I could be here for hours. rex with its well-defined ‘pecs’ and clenched fists is…monstrous, fittingly enough. Instead, I’ll cast my eyes briefly over the only dinosaur in the original set – the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex! A repulsive line of MIMP dinosaurs was eventually released, but even that didn’t impress – I’ll spare you from such horrors here.

MATCHBOX PLAYSETS DINOSAUR SERIES

After the first couple of series the lines started to go downhill though and I eventually lost interest. As a kid I was fascinated by the original Monster in my Pocket and managed to collect them all. I thought I’d review something a little different for a change.
