Definitely one of the nicer prehistoric whale figures out there. Odd that those are the only mammals PNSO has done!
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

I just got the Invicta Triceratops in today!! What a beautiful piece, its detail and sculpt puts a lot of figures out today to shame! I do wish it were a little larger but other than that it's a fine, fine figure! I think the next Invicta I shall try and track down will be their Liopleurodon, and I will definitely be trying to get more in the future!







Unfortunately due to its size the Rebor Rex gets an easy meal...

Nice acquisution, avatar_Pliosaurking @Pliosaurking , interesting that Haolonggood's new Pentaceratops also has armored scutes on its back.

A true classic! I'm not much of a vintage collector, but I've always found Invictas really elegant.

It's been said that the Invictas are more of the last expression of the Marx et al. type of collectible, rather than, strictly speaking a modern one, though the painted ones do link them to the Safari Carnegies era as a response to that grand venture. Either way, they are an unique link to the past (I'm sentimental) and beautiful in themselves.

I finally got the PNSO Kronosaurus, after all this time. I always wanted to get it but I just never got around to it (mainly that price tag), but I'm very happy I finally got it, it's beautiful! It looks quite nice next to Safari's Liopleurodon as well.

Got 2 new Botm figures yesterday the Kosmoceratops and beautiful Bistahivestor! I'm so glad to finally get the Kosmoceratops, it's definitely one I wanted to get for some time, the colours are natural but bright at the same time, and the horn detail is the best on any Botm figure I own currently. The Bistahivestor goes extremely well with the Pentaceratops, and it's colours are very striking!

Here's my Botm 1:18 scale collection:

Congrats! Looks like the Bistahieversor isn't having an easy time dealing with the Pentaceratops...

Just got the Rebor Sarcosuchus in! What a beautiful piece! My only complaint is the jaw being somewhat warped on mine although now it seems to be mostly gone thankfully.
I'll definitely have to do a comparison shot with the Deinosuchus when I get a chance to decide which I prefer!
The Nigersaurus is a nice accessory, hopefully they release a larger version at some point.
I'm very excited for the next bout of Rebor crocodilians!

Seeing as it was Black Friday I decided to order the Botm Torosaurus which I got for cheaper than retail price including shipping. Shipping things to where I am is often quite expensive, not to mention the conversion. However after I got a notification it had shipped I received no update, and still haven't. I contacted David Silva and he determined it was most likely lost, and sent out a replacement. I can't thank him enough for his great service. And I'm sure glad he did, because this figure is GORGEOUS! I don't have access to the rest of my collection atm, but I'd say this is definitely my favourite Botm figure. It's also one of my favourite pieces in my collection, hands down! The blue looks great in person and there is a lot of subtle washes and dry brushing that makes it look more natural.

Got my first kaiju today, the hiya toys Godzilla! What a beautiful figure, I will definitely be buying from the company again! The details are phenomenal especially.

I know it's of topic but I'm considering buying a leopard gecko. Is it worth it?

If you don't mind dealing with insects I'd say yes. They are fairly easy to look after, less work than a malamute for example which I also own. Crested geckos are also very good pets, they don't eat nearly as much insects, although they require a little bit more maintenance. I'd say if your interested in getting any reptile really, go check out Clint's reptiles on YouTube.

Got my first kaiyodo in today, the beautiful little Metriorhynchus. The rod snapped unfortunately when I was trying to put it on even though I was being cautious. So after modifying the base slightly I managed to get a toothpick in there instead, and now it sits very nicely.

That one had a bit of a rep for breaks back in the day (not as bad as the Meganeura though). It quite often came out of the packaging with one or the other of the rear flippers broken off.

This is a very elegant figure. Bummer about the rod! My Kaiyodo Nipponites came without one so that too sits on a toothpick.

Somehow managed to find this little fella at Walmart. I can't believe I found one!

Finally got my BOTM Tyrannosaur series wave 3 kickstarter set in!
Out of all the Tyrannosaurs this was by far my most anticipated wave, and it certainly hasn't disappointed! I ended up getting both the Albertosaurus and Daspletosaurus. Daspletosaurus is my favourite genus of tyrannosaur and the Albertosaurus is my favourite looking figure in the entire tyranosaur series. I still need to get some more from this line but this definitely satisfies me for the time being! Before I get any more figures form this line I need some more space...
