Horned Toads and Indians

Horned toad just snoozing in the warm desert sand.

Suddenly a group of inexpensive Chinese American Indians attack!

Quickly they surround the dozing lizard.

Stunned by surprise!

The giant lizard does not stand a chance against this 1/72nd scale onslaught.

Head held high, he meets his fate with all the dignity a lizard can muster.

Moving in for the kill.

I got these figures decades ago, they were from a dollar store, they are not Giant of Hong Kong but they look a lot like them. I suspect both Giant and these guys copied the same 1/32nd scale figures. These also came as cowboys and I have a few of those also.

Chinese Castle

Castle from Giant of Hong Kong, with a Walmart aquarium toy building inside.

Figures from an old Samurai Swords game by Milton Bradley.

The giant Jamaican Turquoise lizards was a huge problem in ancient China.

Often only a lucky hit from an arrow at the base of the skull could kill him.

Or annoy him so he would attack the archer.

Lizard Line Up

These are the lizards I got. I have two sets of them. There is no identification of the lizards in the set so I took an individual photo of each lizard and did a Google AI search for what type of lizard is this? Mostly it came back with "it's a plastic toy lizard" and then said "that looks like an XYZ lizard." So I was impressed that it could tell a toy lizard from a real one. I am not sure that the green one with the black spots is really an iguana, but I don't know much about lizards. If you know about lizards, leave a comment and set me straight on who is who in the lizard zoo.

Here a team of knights defend Sherwood Castle from a giant Gecko.

Knights are from some unknown Chinese company. They are similar to but not as good as the knights form Caesar Miniatures. All these lizards are between 3 and 4 inches long.
