@need4swede Ah-Ha! So you're the one who was having that build-up/repaint done up by SP! I saw his post on instagram, bravo this is truly an amazing model!

Mine is still in route

@need4swede One of the most beautiful reconstructions of this animal. Congrats on getting to own such a piece.

Beautiful recreation of that incredible statue and amazing photos! You got me wanting to sell all my rexes just to replace them with one of these!

Yup, that was mine! I send all my repaints to S @sp_art_projects. Stelios is an amazing artist. He's doing another Rex for me fairly soon, albeit a very different kind. I'm certain it'll come out great!

Thank you! Highly recommend the figure. I've always wanted my own 'Sue', and this fit the bill perfectly. Very happy with how the paint turned out as well.

I would happily swap away my Nanmu Apatosaurus (many things I don't like about it anymore) for that beautiful Haolonggood Apatosaurus 😎

That De Clay Studio Tyrannosaurus is arguably the ultimate. Simply fantastic. But I will have to be satisfied with my Tyrannosauruses from PNSO, which I also think are great in their own right.

I had considered getting that Nanmu Apatosaurus, @JohannesB , before the Haolonggood one came along. What about the Nanmu do you find disapointing?

Well, it is quite nice, but I don't really like it being hollow (considering the price) and the fact that it comes in two parts. Yeah, I knew that about the detached tail going in, but it starts to bother me for some reason. Also, the goofy Jurassic World inspired head doesn't fit on a otherwise relatively scientifically correct model, I feel. The Haolonggood model feels much more like a model that will retain its beauty and appeal through many years to come, but I can't really legitimise a purchase before I do away with another big model, for example the Nanmu. (I also have the Schleich big 2008 Apatosaurus, but for some reason I like that figure better than the Nanmu - maybe because it is less "pretentious" and in another, more toy-like category, which for me lends it its own charm, I guess.) I only have one other Apatosaurus model: the one from Invicta. The Haolonggood one would make a beautiful "upgrade" to go side by side with that one - although I will always keep my Invicta's.

Yes, I was wondering about that head; I didn't realize that the Nanmu was hollow - for the price that gives a big advantage, in both respects, to the Haolonggood. The Schleich (which I also own, along with the exquisitely  elegant Invicta) is also hollow, but for the price, it represented good value back in the day.

Just a few JW additions, nothing too interesting.
JW Extreme Damage Atrociraptor Tiger


JW Dino Trackers Xuanhanosaurus


JW Dino Trackers Nothosaurus


Captivz JP30 Minis-Compsognathus, Corythosaurus, Raptor hatchling, and Spinosaurus

[Flaffy]

I hadn't planned to get this JW figure originally. But after seeing Austroraptor in action in Prehistoric Planet Season 2, I just had to go get myself a figure of this giant dromaeosaur. Maybe one day we'll get a proper feathered one, but right now I'm obsessed with this raptor's goofy duck face.

It only took me 10 years to complete the 1958 Cherilea figure collection! Very pleased to finally have the set.

[BrontoScorpio]

I think I saw some on eBay at anthonys_collections that we discussed in another thread.

Some surprice HC finds at the Dutch Comic-Con yesterday, plus my latest Lego haul:

[Thialfi]

Got spoiled good today!

[SidB]

Very nice, @Thialfi . May you continue to enjoy their forthcoming stream of new releases.

[Thialfi]

Thank you S @SidB, much appreciated, I am very happy with these new additions! Very much looking forward to what else they have in the pipeline for us.

[Halichoeres]

Nice assortment, @Thialfi! I'm waiting for the Edmontonia to be released before placing my next order...

[Thialfi]

Thank you @Halichoeres! I suspected Haolonggood would take a little break after having released their BIG Apatosaurus, but no!, they almost immediately went on to release the other two critters. After those I felt the same, so I went ahead and ordered. Up pops an Edmontonia! I guess that little fellow has to wait until a new bunch will be announced..

Which ones will you be going for?
