Those guys were pros!raitonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-50019688481910745992017-01-06T10:11:09.521-05:002017-01-06T10:11:09.521-05:00Always loved this one.

Not sure about the other suits, but the T Rex was originally created by Tsuburaya for their TV series Aizenborg.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097420555737415471noreply@blogger.com
