Went to the dentist this morning and on the way back I made a stop...

You should've taken him with you, with a grin like that.

Unfortunately I picked it up after the dentist appointment...Oh wait, I have another one on Friday so...

New Indominus Rex is in!

[TooOldForDinosaurs]

Scored this absolute gem for a steal price on a local "auction site" (similar to ebay). It's a copy of "The World Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Creatures" (hardcover) by Dougal Dixon from 2007. It feels and smells almost brand new. The countless illustrations and drawings are beyond gorgeous and I will loo forward to immerse myself into this reading and using it as an inspiration source for new sculpting-projects.

I will post more pictures in my collection thread - I can't post pictures of all the drawings unfortunately. The book counts over 500 pages.

A couple of new additions.
PNSO Cretoxyrhina


PNSO Torosaurus

After having spent a week in limbo, who knows where, a bashed-up package was handed to me by the local postal delivery person, rather sheepishly I must say, and this turned out to be my missing Haolonggood Pentaceratops from Lana. Who can say where it had been, but at the end of the day, all's well as ends well from my perspective. Here it is, with some associates -



With the Papo and Schleich Pentaceratops




It sure is a big bruiser

[Flaffy]

Congrats on finally getting the Pentaceratops! Was surprised by the heft as well, especially when compared to the papo figure.

[Pliosaurking]

Congratulations S @SidB  I too recently acquired that Pentaceratops. It's definitely worth the wait!

I wasn't planning to get the orange/yellow one @Pliosaurking , but when I thought that this darker one, my first choice, was probably lost, I ordered the other from Dans. So now I may end up with a pair, like the Nasutosaurus duo and the Eofauna trikes. Great fun!

Indeed! It compares with Doyle 1 in size and weight. It's fabulous to get these great ceratopsians from PNSO and Haolonggood, now that Safari seems to have stopped making them. I think that I'll keep the Papo Penta around too, rather than retiring it to the box of retired Papos.

[Concavenator]

S @SidB Oh so you finally got the Penta after all! Congrats!

@TooOldForDinosaurs Nice score! I have that book too, and it's great, even if it's now a bit outdated. Some illustrations hold up even today though.

[Fembrogon]

I'm glad to hear your Penta made it home, S @SidB! It does look like a wonderful figure.

I have a copy of that book as well, @TooOldForDinosaurs (albeit in storage). It's actually quite excellent, isn't it? A terrific catalog of prehistoric genera.


I had some new items of my own arrive yesterday, courtesy of @brettnj: the Kaiyodo/Royal Ontario dinosaur set, all complete minifgures. Zuul and Maip are the highlights, of course, but they're all lovely. I'll post the other items over at the ATF for relevancy.

[Halichoeres]

@TooOldForDinosaurs I have that book too, some real superstar artists are featured, like Julius Csotonyi. Mine has a red cover, though!

[ceratopsian]

Brought by the postman yesterday - second attempt as I wasn't here the day before and it was too massive to fit in my mailbox.

Aah I can't wait for mine! This looks gorgeous.

[ceratopsian]

It is even more beautiful in hand. The paintwork is phenomenal. I don't think you will be disappointed @TooOldForDinosaurs!

   Excellent!!

[SidB]

Very impressive, @ceratopsian . Mine is scheduled to arrive Wednesday by post - I'm hoping to avoid another postal fiasco.

 Apatosaurus day!
 About half an hour after I had read your post and commented "Excellent", the postman rang and brought me mine .
 What an awesome heavy figure. That's it! That's Dinosaur Toy Figure making at its best. All hail HAOLONG(very)GOOD!
