Thanks to my friend Jonas, who was kind enough to scan and send me the Burger King flyer, we can have a closer look at the 2nd wave of Bone Age. Kinda hard to figure out the size of the toys. Assuming they use the same pegs, looking at he drangonfly’s body sections gives a hint. Plesior size maybe?

Adding prehistoric mammals was an interesting move. Prototypes must have existed. Burger King miniatures Fangra and Mastus probably gives us a glimpse of what the full size toys were supposed to look like.

Awesome tumblr! Wondering where the best places online to get Bone Age stuff would be. Just keep prowling EBay?
