Todd,

These are very cool.  I love the happy dino faces with the machines of mass
destruction slung on their backs.  Its very similar to having a classic smiley
going off to war just on a much larger scale.

Now we just need to give Winne-the-Pooh a bazooka and we would have quite a
nice army.

(...) LOL!!!! I wonder if Winnie-the-Pooh can hold things in his hand or if they're just build for honeydipping...? I'm pretty sure Eeyore has a DUPLO stud on his back which would convert nicely to a 2x2 SYSTEM brick or larger. (...) OK --Todd (26 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.duplo, lugnet.build.mecha)
