Cheap but awesome creature alert!
This vinyl Pteranodon can be found at Walmarts across the country in the wire bins full of cheap vinyl dinosaurs, insects, safari animals and sea life for $1 each.
Unlike the rest of the vinyl animals available in the bins, this one is solid vinyl. The rest are usually hollow, sonic welded vinyl halves that you can compress with your hand. These are solid, hefty and far above the quality of their binmates.
I actually prefer these vinyl pteranodons to just about any of Mattel's "Jurassic World" versions since they don't have that stupid midwing swivel. The sculpts are really nice but the paint is extremely basic as is befitting a dollar toy. Once they get a repaint, I believe they will look spectacular in dioramas. And with their low MSRP, you can acquire a flock of them inexpensively (however, this will take some time as they appear to be 1 per shipping container of 36 dinosaurs).
Seriously, I pick up every single one I find (I must have at least 3 dozen of them in a box in my crawlspace).
