    Another of the rare MPC Prehistoric creatures. This is another that there wasn't a Marx version, something all original on the part of MPC. It is hollow though as cheapness was an MPC trademark. But it was well sculpted, animation not so much.
    The actual Glyptodon (or Glyptodont) was the size of a Volkswagen Beetle so don't be trying to run over them on a Texas road. Plus they had a Thagomizer so don't even think about it.
    This figure is a bit over 3" long. Next uyp in this series will be the Dire Wolf.

      Ha ha..I forgot that Gary Larson made that name up in his The Far Side cartoon and scientists started using it!

      Thank you very much keramikos. Yes Gary Larson did make a scientific term.

      Thank you very much Dave. It is a different creature but more period correct.

      I was actually looking for something else when I tripped on this 1913 drawing:
