These particular figures are the “incredibly elusive” 1990s Series 2 "Dino-Dig / Ghost Skeleton" assortment produced by Imperial Toy Corporation. Series 1 exclusively offered very well-known dinosaurs; however, Series 2 was a bit different. While Chinese factories producing the later series ensured that it included dinosaurs familiar to young buyers (Pteranodon, Dimetrodon and Triceratops), they also included somewhat less-familiar Parasaurolophus and Pachycephalosaurus as well as Dilophosaurus and Hadrosaurus.

Because North American distributors almost exclusively ordered the basic Series 1 packs, North American children rarely—if ever—saw the Hadrosaurus or Dilophosaurus variants on store shelves. As a result, today these rarer figures are much sought after.
Both series were marketed as a detailed, higher-quality, semi-educational toy intended for such retailers as museum gift shops.
Each figure has a cream-colored, heavily weathered "bone-like" finish to give it a fresh-out-of-the-dirt, fossilized appearance. Over the last 30+ years, the type of plastic used has naturally aged, giving it an even deeper "dirty bone" patina that collectors instantly look for to verify its authenticity.

Original owner.
Available for pickup in South Riverbend, Edmonton.
Cash please. (It's a bargain: this set has SOLD online for 40-70 CAD$ plus shipping.)
Cross listed: first come, first served.
