I think they are very nice.

This beauty just came in mail today. Looks like the Blue variant of this figure has become quite rare, becouse all Aliexpress sellers either have it sold out or sell it for higher price than the Flame variant. Even with 11.11 discount code I had to pay noticably more for it than when it originally realesed.

This sure has curb appeal. I have the PNSO one and keep telling myself that it's enough, but this figure is always a temptation!

The blue variant was always my preferred version of the two, but that seems to have been the case for virtually everyone, which is why I ultimatley "settled" for the orange version when I caught it on sale (and that version is quite the looker, too!).

Bullyland Lambeosaurus arrived last night - purchased because I liked the look of it on the DTB so much!

[Fembrogon]

Look who's here!



Obviously Cryolophosaurus was the driving force behind this purchase, but the other figures are all pretty nice too. I've been meaning to get the Liopleurodon for a while, but it never took a priority spot. Quianzhousaurus is bigger than I remembered and better-looking in person than in photos, although I'm still not fond of the color scheme.
And, of course, the Cryo. Cryo looks great; this might be one of my favorite color schemes on a Safari dino in a while. Mine is standing excellently too, no balance issues yet.

My PNSO Therizinosaurus arrived today, joining the superb Dinocheirus for my November additions. Thought that I'd take a quick snapshot of it beside the Papo one that will now go into storage. It served for a couple of years in my dioramas, but the egregious errors on the feet and hands will now relegate it to retirement. Note the difference in size.

Very nice, congrats! Yeah that PAPO Theri sure is a whopper. Something about it's design I just like way too much for putting it into storage, even after I will have gotten PNSOs offering. I can't say what exactly though, it just appeals to me.

[Fembrogon]

Thanks for paired shot, S @SidB. Honestly, I think Papo's Theri is ALMOST one of their best-looking models in a while - the animal's natural appearance ends up lending well to the more dramatic posture - but the aforementioned flaws in the hands always bugged me enough to avoid getting it. Even with the splendid PNSO figure out now, if Papo ever considered reissuing theirs with just a few appropriate adjustments I'd probably snap it up.

I considered displaying the two together, but ... space, the final frontier. As I get superior figures, the now secondary pieces are stored. At least they're not on the chopping block, sale-wise though. I am nostalgic, so I hang onto pieces for years. That's just me.

I'm surprised at myself that I completely overlooked the Papo's lack of the fourth weight-bearing  digit on it's hind feet until recently. On the other hand (so to speak), I'd often considered modifying the hands and installing longer claws, but never got around to it. No need now.

[Concavenator]

Got the PNSO Styracosaurus in! However, I won't be opening it until January, as this is a Christmas present; I simply opened the box to confirm the order was correct.

The Triceratops and Chasmosaurus in the back look like they're getting mad at me for not freeing their new spiky friend already, but they're still going to wait a bit until they meet Anthony irl.

Nice batches everyone! Happy to see everyone is enjoying their new additions.

Big lot of JW figures in today, both brand new and already older:

[Faelrin]

@Roselaar That's quite a massive haul. Lots of rare stuff there too. Spared no expense I see.

[Duna]

What an impressive batch @Roselaar  I haven't even heard of some of those incredible sets. Are there 3 dinosaurs in the "Epic Battle pack"?

Are there 3 dinosaurs in the "Epic Battle pack"?

Yup, it's a full repack of the mainline Rex, Giga and Theri. Only new thing there is the Ellie figure.

Got the PNSO Acrocanthosaurus today. It's really cool, definitely one of my best theropods along with Eofauna's Giganotosaurus. However, it has a pretty big overbite. I would just display it with the mouth open like I usually do, but I found some putty that matched the color of the mouth, and I used it to increase the gap between the jaws, making the overbite smaller.

Here's some really bad photos

I recommend you use this link when posting images. I use Imgur for image hosting, but I think most hosting websites offer this option
