| ALLOSAURUS The Aurora Allosaurus is one of my favourite pieces, dated and quirky, with a mouthful of saliva, ready to pounce. It is moulded in green, and in later editions comes with yellow base parts. The head arms, claws legs and feet are all movable. The first edition of this kit was released in 1971, along with the Tar Pit, Cave, Neanderthal Man, Cro-Magnon man and woman, the Flying Reptile and the Saber Tooth Tiger. This edition had a picture of the Allosaurus being attacked by the Saber Tooth on the box, the picture was changed in later Aurora issues (1972 onwards) due to complaints that, either the picture was historically inaccurate, or mislead customers into believing that the Saber Tooth was included with the kit. Kits issued after 1972 had initially one (possibly a transitional phase) and then two base parts included, allowing the Allosaurus to link to the new 1972 issued Dinosaurs. Subsequent reissues of the Allosaurus by Revell and Monogram appear to come without either base parts. However the absence of the bases is not a problem since good quality resin copies of the bases are available. |
