Thrift Haul: Can You Taste The Dinosaur Rainbow?

There are monsters frozen in an epic battle above the fireplace in my quirky vintage apartment. Sometimes when I go thrifting I find more radical beasts worthy of joining the tableaux. This weekend I thrifted and found a few volumes of manga, an art book, and a little cup for mom- but I wanted to focus my energy on capturing the bag of colorful toy goodness I received.

The bag of toys was a gift from my mom, she saw the rainbow of exotic dinosaurs on a solo thrift store visit and thought I’d love them. She was right.

Once home I ripped open the bag with the clumsy rapture of a kid on Christmas day. Daintily, I separated the dinos from the other bagged beasties. I lined them up and admired their beauty; their shapes are graphic and animated, their colors look delicious. It’s like they were poured out of a bag of "tropical" flavored skittles.

Can you taste the dino-rainbow? 

They’ve joined the others in my eclectic shrine. Glowing in the setting sun, each toy its own little story. Who could round out this little collection?

Super Saiyan Goku! Ready to keep the peace and blow away the kitschy dinosaurs with his mighty Kamehameha blast if things get crazy!
