Small collection? It does not seem small to me but quite the opposite. Nice and varied collection. My congratulations on a great collection and you have great taste.

[EmperorDinobot]

Good luck with your expansion! Are you in the USA?

Yes, I am in the USA.

Thank you!

Your collection looks lovely planned and those are nice choice for figures. Take some day a few photos to show us, it would be fantastic.

[Lynx]

I would recommend you to get the Deluxe Iguanodon by CollectA, it's the currently best Iguanodon figure out there and puts the "golfball swallower" by Papo to shame.

Despite how much I despise the Papo iguanadon as well, something is keeping me from wanting to get the safari one. Not sure what it is, but I think it might be the paintjob. However that is nothing a little repaint can't fix.

[SenSx]

Congrats for your collection, I too have a small one but I prefer quality over quantity...
But yea I would not say those really are small collections, but compare to other member's on this site, they are !

THAT said, I do own the Papo Iguanodon as well:   " duh Duh DUH !!!!"
What made me buy it above all was the paint job, I really like that blueish grey.
I don't mind the articulated jaw at all unlike many, but I mind the pose a lot more, as well as all the inaccuracies people has pointed to me.
I  dislike the short neck and the impossible upward position of the head.
Also maybe the size, it might become small compare to the upcoming PNSO Parasaurolophus.

I am definitely going to replace it with the Collecta Iguanodon if PNSO indeed release a Parasaurolophus and if I get that one as well (both species should be about the same size).

Right now I am working on the setup of the shelves. However once I am done I will surely take pictures!

Welcome to the forum, Lynx! Sounds like a good collection, nice variety. Looking forward to seeing photos when you get around to it.

As for recommendations, the entire motivation of my collection is to find the best figure of every taxon, so you could view it as a list of recommendations 700 entries long.

Thanks and wow, that's a huge list! I will definitely check it out.

UPDATE: Winter Wilson arrived and three other figures are currently in shipping (GR Toys Spinosaurus, PNSO Microraptor, and CollecA Xenoceratops. The backgrounds for some of my shelves finally arrived and I am currently setting them up (Hell Creek and random terrain backgrounds). Finally got the dinosaurs in a order I like as well. Only problem is my JW Mosasaurus. My mosa seems to be turning a lighter (and almost white) color. I tried scrubbing it off but a few days later it is reappearing. Anyone know how to fix this?

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Do you mean the CollectA Xenoceratops?
I'm guessing your Mosasaurus is in the sun? If so it may be too late.

Awh darn. That is a shame. When I moved out of my old house it was outside for a few days as we brought everything in. If I can't find a solution I will just repaint it.

Where did you get your backgrounds from?

[Wallnut]

Amazon. Here are the links: https://www.amazon.com/Yuehuam-Background-Aquarium-Rainforest-Decoration/dp/B086QW121K/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=rainforest+background&qid=1611348614&sr=8-2 and https://www.amazon.com/VIP-LINE-Waterfall-Background-Decorations-Landscape/dp/B07YZSCVW1/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=waterfall%2Bbackground&qid=1611348719&sr=8-18&th=1 I just crop them if needed and stick them on a piece of paper cardboard, it's easier to take out if you don't like the way it's positioned or you want to put it on a different shelf.

[stoneage]

Thanks, some of that  looks usable.

I did not find a Safari Ltd general discussion so I'll just ask here: This year is going to be my Safari year for collecting due to their low prices. Anyone have some suggestions on what to get?

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

I recommend all the Ceratopsids, especially the Einiosaurus, Regaliceratops and Diabloceratops. I recommend the new Baryonyx even though I don't have it. I recommend the feathered Tyrannosaurus, as despite being over feathered it is still one of the best. I recommend the Maniraptorans, especially the Velociraptor, Deinonychus and Citipati. I also recommend the Qianzhousaurus, the Coelophysis and the new Stegosaurus, Camarasaurus and Allosaurus amd the newer mammals especially the Coelodonta, mastodon, Megacerops and Daeodon.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

I also recommend the Edmontosaurus, Gryposaurus, Tylosaurus and the Triceratops
