These were a lot of fun to make.  Here's the secret:  The backs of the • DUPLO
dinos, it turns out, are regular DUPLO studs which perfectly accommodate • 2x4
and 2x6 LEGO SYSTEM bricks.  But not only that, they also accommodate the • new
6x6x2 quad-inverse-slope SYSTEM bricks that come in the LEGO Star Wars • sets!
And these enable the very quick conversion of a DUPLO dino into a SYSTEM • dino!

The minifigs are Blacktron I figs with Ninja heads and various other Castle
helmets.  The rest of the parts come purely from LEGO Star Wars sets (one • copy
of each 1999 & 2000 set, plus 5 additional parts that needed to be nabbed • from
second copies of Naboo Swamp and Naboo Fighter.)

These are great, Todd!  What fun!  Yatsuzaki is definitely my favorite.  The
clip-on triangles make those arms look vicious.
