This is so bizarre. When I was little my dad bought this same model of toy for me just because I loved dinosaurs. I loved velociraptors. Just like the other commentor, he disappeared on me one day. Only it's not like I just lost interest and he went in the garage, Talon was my homeboy. He went everywhere with me. My family made me go to the legit opera, made me wear a dress and everything, you best believe Talon was there... IN HIS OWN TINY BOWTIE. Talon became an educated dinosaur; he went to school with me. Then one day I looked in my backpack when I got home, and Talon was gone. I never found him. Dad tried everything to find a new one. but this was the time before Ebay. "Talon dinosaur" yielded exactly the results you'd expect, and for the life of us we couldn't remember what line of toys he was supposed to be a part of. Of course there were other velociraptors after him but... I never loved any of them the same way... primarily because none of them had an awesome (and at the time, very recently discovered) scientifically accurate feather Mohawk.
Thanks to you, sir or madam, after almost a decade, I got to see my old friend again.
