TooOldForDinosaurs' Collection

Your collection is lovely, really shaping up. The Battat are of course the major highlight.

I have a personal beef with Maiasaura constantly depicted with a nest though, and actually like that the Battat doesn't come with it.

Thanks  ! Haha, whats that personal beef all about? Do you mean because almost no company (of the few that gave us a maiasaura) did a figure of an adult individual just on its own?

So it's been a while since I've posted anything in this thread and my collection has not been without changes through that time. I've sold many figures (mainly Schleich, some CollectA and others) and acquired even more  . Instead of spamming this thread with a huge update post on all the changes - and since I felt like inventorying all my current figures anyway - I had a big photoshoot and made an Update Video on my collection. 

Enjoy:

Very nicely done indeed.  I enjoyed watching your new acquisitions with the peaceful music background.  The bases you multi-purposed worked a treat to set off the assorted figures. You've been very busy - and you've assembled some wonderful models in a remarkably short time.

An impressive and eclectic collection!

[Pliosaurking]

Beautiful collection
You're got quite a few rare gems in there!

[TooOldForDinosaurs]

@ceratopsian Thanks!  I have been busy indeed. Sold almost my entire Schleich Replica Saurus Collection (and am still in process of doing so) as well as many of the older Safari Carnegie figures to fund some of the new acquisitions. Most of the pictured figures are of course still same old but there have been a few big chunky new ones like the EoFauna Diplodocus and PNSOs Audrey (with Dabei) and Chuanchuan.

An impressive and eclectic collection!

A compliment I will take with pride from the person with probably the most wide-ranged and comprehensive collection on here.  @Halichoeres

@Pliosaurking Thank you! I'm lucky I do, yes.

As a member of the Toyway WWD Ophthalmosaurus cult, I am constantly on the lookout on all possible platforms for those figures in good condition. This has led me to posess two specimens of this beauty so far. Recently I have stumbled not over one - but actually two (SPOILER) more figures which I've been able to acquire. One has already arrived, which is the reason for this short update post. The fourth is on its way  . I have taken into consideration that I might be going insane for wanting as many as possible of the same figure, but if thats the case, I have to say that it feels quite good

Enough talking heres a picture of the assembly:


The third specimen:


And a funny short video I put together:

Nice addition to your collection
I hope I can find one in as good of shape as yours in the future

Thanks    I wish you the best of luck!

Ooh, all three of your copies are nicer than my one! Mildly envious of your little pod!

I confess to being more than mildly envious! But they do look very handsome swimming together!

They do! I am obsessed with this model or rather toy... for me there is just no other figure of all the ones that I've seen pictures of, read reviews about or own myself that comes close to it in terms of charm.
What I still lack are some proper figure stands. I'm using different transparent plastic glasses, cups and boxes right now, the idea with the overturned glass I've actually gotten off of @BrontoScorpio s thread. The Invicta stands would fit perfectly but those are just impossible to find - loose even more so than together with a too expensive Liopleurodon or Blue Whale figure.

As announced the fourth member has now finally (after a long wait in customs) joined my Ophthalmosauri crew. One could call it a Tetra-pod now.

The fact that you managed to get four of these guys is incredible! How much did they all cost in total?

[TooOldForDinosaurs]

@Lynx A lot In total they cost me about 200£. So around 50£ per figure. Some less than that some more.

[Pliosaurking]

Wow!
I'm amazed that you got 4 of these!

[TooOldForDinosaurs]

Wow!
I'm amazed that you got 4 of these!

I'm quite surprised as well. I didn't plan on doing so in the first place. I had to search for a very long time for the first one. After finding a second one I got hooked. Now I would sell almost any other figure of my collection to make room and funds for more of these

[Halichoeres]

Well, now they can square dance. You just need a caller.
