Small figures

This is a nice example of the small figures from the collection of Lenard Carvelo but notice the cracks.  Small figures seem to suffer more than the large.

Miller small series  are very rare.  These pictures are from the collection Lenard Carvelo.  The small series included the mammal Brontops and the dinosaurs Protoceratops and Trachodon, not in the larger series, but otherwise the figures looked similar.  The pieces are fragile and they were never recast, copied or knocked off that I know off. Casting or flash marks on the bottom of the feet indicate the two part molds included the feet. 

Protoceratops has the look of a Charles Knight painting. Brontops is a particularly interesting figure reminiscent of a Charles Knight or Zdenek Burian. Never repeated by another company.
The Tyrannosaurus pretty closes resembles the larger figure.The Dimetrodon figure has held up well over time and the feel of the Ajax figure. It appears to be turning the opposite directin of the large Miller. From the collection of Lenard Carvelo.
		Special thanks to Lenard Carvelo who with the help of Mark Rich and others who shared their knowledge and experiences on the J.H. Miller Saga. Recently The Miller Soldier Company has begun producing recasts of some other Miller figures but there isn't any word of Dinosaur recasts.
