A monkey, a dinosaur, and a... zombie turkey? It may just be a turkey, but it looks undead.

As apposed to just the normal size.

These were actually fantastic in execution. The set, and others like it, were sold in resealable containers that were mostly pocket shaped. My kids at the time were constantly on the go for practice or appointments, and having these around for us all as fidgets saved us from boredom. Lego to go that was actually fun.

The whaleigatorsaurus looks like it's seen better days, too.

@BabuBrick:
"R" = Redrum?

The howling space monkey. Truly a terrifying creature to come across.

Space the comic aside, this set was a bit cursed-looking yet quite charming. Creator in 2007-2008 had a very particular vibe and I'm all for it. The renders were quite obvious, but yet the sheer framing and mix of very basic parts and specialized shapes in the models was interesting.
The boat stud for the belly is ingenious and the turkey using a clip for a tongue is quite ambitious in this case. It's also quite flexible in the posing department through clever use of clips bars and hinges!
I also always liked that it comes with decor with the two palm leaves and brick to mount them on.

Interesting idea for a designer interview, given less than 80 pieces what would you create?
These small scale 3 in 1 creator made kids think more about rebuilding Lego and even their own designs, rather than build, display, dust.
