A little disappointed.Jan 11, 2011
By Sturgeon Landborne
"Your Pal Sturge"
My daughter is a huge Dinosaur Train fan, and we bought all of the available characters to go with the train set in October as Christmas gifts. She was very excited when she unwrapped all of them, and she loves playing with it, but there are definitely several downsides. The characters are not to scale with each other and most are too large to be in a car with more than one other. Some of the characters don't stand up well on their own, and some of the characters with smaller feet have their product ID number printed elsewhere on their body (Shiny Pteranadon, for example), which somewhat detracts from the illusion. Overall, though, she still loves it, but I was hoping it would be more than it is. On the plus side, the characters all look quite like their animated counterparts.
I also found the inclusion of Ollie and Orin Ornithomimus a bit excessive, as I did with Delores and Boris Tyrannosaurus, especially considering some characters that were neglected altogether, such as Patrica Palaeobatrachus; Cindy Cimolestes; Rick Oryctodromeus; Arnie Argentinosaurus; Alvin Allosaurus; Spiky Stygimoloch; Hank Ankylosaurus; Bucky Masiakasaurus; Daphne Daspletosaurus; King Cryolophosaurus; The Lambeosaurus Family, Leroy, Lily, Larry, and Lorraine; more Troodons, such as Mrs. Conductor, Gilbert, Travis, The Station Master, and/or The Troodon Official; Cory Corythosaurus; Quincy Quetzalcoatlus and/or Mr. "Wing King" Quetzalcoatlus; Iggy Iguanodon; Mikey Microraptor; The Old Spinosaurus; Keenan Chirostenotes; Arlene Archaeopteryx; Teri Therizinosaurus; and Howard Dragonfly. Not to mention some marine-dwelling characters, such as Mitch and/or Max Michelinoceras, Elmer Elasmosaurus, Carla Cretoxyrhina, and Paulie Pliosaurus, and maybe an accompanying aquacar.
If/when a new line of characters is released, we will no doubt add them to her collection, but we'd also like to see an improved train set to go along with them.

My son will love these!Dec 23, 2010
By Happy Mommy Glad I got these on sale because full price I think would've been too much. They are much smaller then I anticipated, but with that said I know my son will love these regardless... so ultimately, they are priceless.
Great, butJun 28, 2011
By Taurus I just want to apply this to all the train "collectible" figures... Technically they stand up on their own, but it's really hard for a toddler to find that delicate balance point. You would think they could rest on their tails and such, but the pteradons especially are very wobbly and we like to stand things up before they get eaten by T-Rexes, so there are a few tantrums associated with them...
Great for the Toddler Set!Feb 11, 2011
By pb&j's mom I bought this for my almost 3 yr old and she LOVES these toys! They go everywhere with us. She puts them in the bath tub, drags them around the house...these toys are durable and of course she has to have them when Dinosaur Train is on!!
