REMEMBERANCE OF CHRISTMAS PAST 4

Image result for mechanical dino the dinosaur marx toys

THE FLINTSTONES debuted in prime time on ABC-TV in 1960. I was four years old at the time and I loved it. The show was immensely popular and it didn't take long for a slew of Flintstones related toys to hit the market.

 I had this one. Manufactured by Marx in 1962, this mechanical Dino the Dinosaur was a favorite plaything of mine. The battery operated Dino would move courtesy of wheels on the bottom of his feet. His body was dyed plush fabric over a mechanical frame while Dino's head was rubber/hard plastic. Fred was made of pressed tin. 

More Flintstones toys to come. Stay tuned.
