Ceratosaurus' Prehistoric Collection

Yes, that Spinosaurus is an extraordinary piece of work! I have mine on a shelf that sits at eye-level and it catches my eye every time I enter the room to the extent that I pause and look at before continuing.

I have my name down for the also amazing Papo Spinosaurus but I wonder which one will catch my eye more often once I have that on display as well. Time will tell, though I freely admit that I am addicted to PNSO this year!

Very impressive collection for just starting off. Lots of A list figures already. Never noticed the version 2 of the fallen queen looked so bloody. I have the first version and it's not that bloody looking. Fantastic collection!!

@PhilSauria originally I wanted the Papo Spinosaurus over the PNSO Spinosaurus but after seeing it in person I am blown away. Papo better step up their game to compete with this guy.

D @Dino Scream3232 Thanx for compliments. I enjoy your reviews. Keep them coming.

I was on the fence about the Papo or Safari Spinos coming out this year (and the Rebor too, if it ever comes out), but when this one dropped it wasn't really a contest anymore. Of course, they made it easy for me as a fish fan, by including the sawfish.

Two more PNSO figures arrived recently. I'm blown away. Can't wait to see what they put out in the future.

Hey buddy I know you don't want that Giga you should gift it to me

At first glance these two beautiful dinosaurs, the amargasaurus and giganotosaurus from PNSO, appear to be resin figures when in reality they are PVC and the material is malleable, soft plastic. They are figures independently that can be destined for children figures suitable to one hundred percent for which we are experienced collectors. Every day I love the PNSO brand more.

Congratulations for obtaining those PNSO's, Ceratosaurus! Both figures are great!

Honestly what bothers me is that the Giga is hard but somehow it bends. No other figure has done that to me not even papo or Rebor for years now except Eofauna and PNSO. I don't get it unless the majority of the mass isnt actually equally distributed which i can understand then

I haven't had anything bend so much that it's unstable. I've been able to fix most stability issues so far. Truthfully I'd rather the Giga be how it is rather than have some giant oversized feet or an attached base. A second peg wouldn't have bothered me. Only time will tell if it ends up falling over but so far it's been alright as long as the toe claws are lined up properly.

Haven't picked up many figures lately as I'm waiting on the releases of a few but finally grabbed this one and it doesn't disappoint.

Shonisaurus · October 02, 2019, 09:49:00 AM

In my case and I know that I repeat myself I like the PNSO yangchuanosaurus (it is better modeled and painted) than its chungkingosaurus counterpart, that is an appreciation of mine. Anyway it is a luxury to have such a set of figures. I congratulate you Ceratosaurus you have acquired a set of PNSO figures worthy of an adult collector, even if they are made of PVC.

Halichoeres · October 02, 2019, 06:29:42 PM

These two are winners, aren't they? I'd prefer that they were to scale with each other, but they're both still great in their own right.

Ceratosaurus · December 28, 2019, 05:27:01 AM

A few more added to the collection. I especially love the new Papo Spinosaurus even with its flaws. It's better than I expected.

My congratulations for having obtained the spinops, ankylosaurus both from PNSO and the Papo spinosaurus limited version. Magnificent figures all three without any exception.

Shonisaurus · February 06, 2020, 05:50:40 PM

@Ceratosaurus I congratulate you for your new acquisitions you agree with my collector's tastes. The photographs are as beautiful as the Rebor figures.

What I really like about Rebor in his stegosaurus armatus and in his tyrannosaurus is the perfection, texture and beautiful details of both figures. Honestly the most attractive of the three versions is perhaps the stegosaurus armatus garden the one shown in the thread but the other stegosaurus Plain and Mountain versions are of total beauty (I have all three versions) although the Garden and Plain versions seem more realistic since the A paleontological point of view, but we must conclude who knows how the skin and even the body of those two dinosaurs were alive millions of years ago regardless of the paleontological remains found?

The Rebor tyrannosaurus in its two versions of painting is another great success on the part of the Rebor brand, but fortunately the tail of the Rebor tyrannosaurus fits seamlessly into the body of the dinosaur replica, and the Rebor stegosaurus figures its tail move if touched or if rubbed on the shelf (I know from experience) the positive is that the sborosaurus armatus of Rebor are made of a soft plastic and I sincerely appreciate it, and the plastic in general of the figures of Rebor is quite soft and With those touches of paint they are resistant to abrasions, especially I have very high shelves of more than two meters.

Congrats

@Ceratosaurus for your last adquisitions, they are some of the best figures! I didn't now Rebor tyrannosaurus was so nice.

@Shonisaurus I also worry about figures falling and getting damaged. I've bought multiple figures that have been known to have stability issues and often now I make sure I adjust them before displaying them (hair dryer/freezer method). It's actually been effective as it's been quite a while since I've had one fall and I'm extra cautious because when one goes down it tends to bring many others with it. I guess it's part of the deal when you want a realistic pose from a theropod and you aren't willing to have an attached base or pose like the upcoming a Papo Giganotosaurus.

@Ceratosaurus True is what you say is the price we have to pay as collectors. If one wants realistic dinosaurs as it is in our case we have to stick to the consequences.
