Strimus the Struthiomomus

Today I'm posting about another dinosaur from Playskool's awesome Definitely Dinosaurs line. Strimus the Struthiomomus is a long necked blueish/gray dinosaur. This thunder lizard has a yellow bill and stand on its hind legs. Strimus features four points of articulation. These swivels are located where the arms and legs meet the torso. I bought this toy at a yard sale in late elementary school when I had a "Dinotopia" diorama set up in my basement. I never had the caveman figure that originally came with the dinosaur.

The dinosaur toys from this line are easily identifable by the little logo hidden on them somewhere.

  1. Never heard of this line before. Forerunner to JP?

    1. Yeah, this line is from the late 80's and was aimed at a young audience. They all came with cartoony caveman riders.

  2. Looking at its beak, I think we've found the missing link between the birds and the dinos.

  3. I will have to look around my area for some of those cavemen for you Kevin to go with your Dino. : )

    1. That's very thoughtful of you, but I don't really collect the line, so I don't need them. I just basically try to vary up my posts and show off all kinds of toys on here. Those dinos have only come out of storage once in the past 18 years just to be photographed for the blog.
