Just received this beautiful custom Deinocheirus from Gex Pedroche on Instagram

I will give this guy a proper photoshoot later this week.

Beautiful is an understatement!

Friday afternoon and a little surprise in the mailbox: the Haolonggood Nasutosaurus, brownish variant. It doesn't disappoint. It sure is a bit of a hefty fellow though, but nothing absurd. When you walk down the street, dozens of people pass by. Most may fit a certain template, but there's always a certain percentage who differ visually, and that noticeably, from the 'standard'. Does that make those people deficient humans, bogus representatives of humanity? Hardly. There is natural variation, and I'm taking that to be the situation in this case. The horns don't seem too problematic at all, though the issue taken with the eppoccipitals is dead on. Taking all of this together with the extremely high production values, especially the paint work, this is one fine figure, IMO.

Compared to the WS "industry standard":

S @SidB Those are a lot closer in size then I thought. Like near exact. Wow.

Yes,

@Faelrin , it was a pleasant surprise for me too.

a great pair. But I like the Safari one a little more. The paintjob on the new one is indeed splendid.

Agreed,

@Paleo Flo , although its paint work can't compare to the new one, Safari's Nasutosaurus remains the best mass produced one ever made. And the price was great too - too bad it's out of production.

Yesterday's arrival, the PNSO bronze aurochs: I'll put some more pictures in my collection thread.

Blackdanter · March 29, 2023, 01:18:34 PM

Splendidhand Jakapil. Sadly, I think this is now discontinued.

Fembrogon · March 29, 2023, 09:30:02 PM

New arrivals from AliExpress; Haolongood's Nasutoceratops and PNSO's Meraxes are just as beautiful as they've appeared in photos and videos so far, if not more so.

Those blues sure look good together. We haven't got a lot of blue dinosaurs over the last year, so these are most welcome as far as I'm concerned.

Paleo Flo · March 30, 2023, 06:08:37 AM

Nice NAsutos. I prefer the brown one.

Ditto. As much as I like the blue one, I prefer the more complex paint app on the brownish Nasutosaurus too.

Jose S.M. · March 30, 2023, 01:38:46 PM

I like the brown body more but I prefer the frill on the other one hehe. Beautiful figures!

ceratopsian · March 30, 2023, 02:47:21 PM

Which is why I bought both!

my latest haul: The safari LTd Patagotitan, which would be databased as a Dreadnoughthous and be the last dinosaur I'll acquire for a while, The CollectA Boto which I find a little too gray compared to the promo pics and my copy has this tag string sort of cut into the figure a little bit, the beautiful CollectA goblin shark which is longer but lighter than my Schleich Great white and will be added as an exceptionally sized individual and currently is a runner up for my favourite figure of the year. The hard to find Kaiyodo American lobster which costs more than everything here combined!

Bought these daiso glow in the dark deep sea life bath bomb figures out of impulse and I'm surprised at the quality of these and the Clione is good enough to make it in to my main collection, though it smells like oranges.

SidB · March 31, 2023, 01:48:41 PM

Interesting decision to use your Pata as a Dreadnoughthous,

@JimoAi . I use mine as a subadult, which allows it to successfully pose among my 1/35-1/40 Safari figures.

SidB · March 31, 2023, 02:17:03 PM

My latest arrival, PNSO's striking Meraxes:

With their new Giganotosaurus:

Snuggled in among several of his newest, closest buddies:

My latest acquisitions. Arrived all around the same time past week from various places (2 from etsy)

I didn't realize it until I actually had it in hand but the small ankylosaurid seems to be a cast of the Sideshow Dinosauria Euoplocephalus hatchling, probably just copied by a 3D scan.

Libraraptor · April 01, 2023, 07:36:50 AM

I like that old school Iguanodon!
