The Kenner series of Jurassic Park dino models included a couple of Triassic 
species - Coelophysis and Dilophodon.  (egad - Dilophodon WAS Triassic, 
wasn't it?)  There were two versions of Dilophodon released.  One contains a 
water reservoir, so it can "spit," and the other has a (fortunately) 
detachable neck frill.

The whole Kenner line has been discontinued, but occasionally some items can 
be found in toy sections.
