Toysaurus by Hiroshi Fuji is the real deal toy dinosaur. When I was a kid, my floor was littered with toy dinosaurs. But I never had a literal toy dinosaur like the one Hiroshi Fuji made.
Hiroshi Fuji is a Japanese artist who has a thing for dinosaurs and a ton of patience. I can't imagine how much time it took to put together a dinosaur only using children's toys. If you want to see Toysaurus by Hiroshi Fuji you'll have to travel to, you guessed it, Tokyo. This kickass sculpture could be worth the airfare though. If not, you can always drift.
