Recent Acquisitions

[Sim]

I received the following today:

1. PNSO Machairoceratops.  Because of its open cheekless mouth I thought this figure looked hideous at first, but things can change with time.  I now have no problem with it and I'm happy to have it.

Has there been any change in the color scheme/paint application with this model compared to early renditions of it? Also, congratulations on all the acquisitions!

Thanks Bread!   There's been no change with the Machairoceratops.  Was there a change you were hoping for?

Colorscheme/application being updated. Maybe a better wash or just a better matte finish. I've always wanted this model, too. Especially now to go with the Lythronax, but the paint has always been a miss for me. Really it's a backburner repaint for me too. But thank you for the information Sim!

Big haul today, thanks to the latest Smyths Toys store opening in the country having a much better stock than the previous two. Finally some sublines available in the Netherlands!

Unfortunately, Flickr is being difficult so I don't have pictures.

I ordered the Mattel Orkoraptor and it arrived today. I feel like I may write a review on it [dibs!], as it is the first megaraptorid to enter my entire collection.

I also scored the Legacy Collection Kitchen set at Target, as it was on clearance for only $6.

*BTW, if I hadn't gotten it a couple years ago, I would have picked up the LC Ford Explorer set, as it also was on clearance for only $15 (down from its initial $50).

My Edmontonias arrived from Lana Time yesterday - they're a delight in hand!
Both versions have very good paint apps, but the blue is my favorite. the red looks a little too uniform in contrast, at a glance.

[Carnoking]

Bilinski Brontosaurus thunderin' onto the shelves!

We've been pretty spoiled for choice when it comes to "lifelike" models over the past few years but I gotta say, this is without a doubt the most realistic model in my collection, and it's easily another crown jewel.

4. BotM Protoceratops hellenikorhinus.  At first I thought I only wanted the three 1:18 dromaeosaurids.  Then I thought I only wanted to add the 1:18 Protoceratops andrewsi.  Now I've got the P. hellenikorhinus too and I want the 1:18 Psittacosaurus as well.  Hopefully I'll get the Psittacosaurus when the Safari Citipati is in stock again.  The lower jaw of my P. hellenikorhinus didn't move at first but after persevering it finally moved.  I love these small BotM figures, I hope many more species are made!

I'm really hoping that some of the little guys that were originally slated for the Kickstarter (Cerasinops, Leptoceratops, etc.) are made.

That Brontosaurus is incredible. It isn't the sort of thing I usually go for, at least not with dinosaurus sensu stricto, but it's sorely tempting.

I also received Bilinski Brontosaurus, maybe the most beautiful figure in my collection.

However I'm a bit nitpick, and mine has a slight mark on the left eye, and I wonder if it's only mine or if they are all like that.
Does yours have the same thing Carnoking ?

Another lovely JP/JW haul arrived today!:

Hm, I'm not seeing any marks on my eyes.

It's just mine then :/

I had the impression Andy's Dinosaur's model also had that.

I've acquired the following:

1. Haolonggood grey Edmontonia.  I was expecting it to be a good figure, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was!  It's amazing!  And beautiful.  I am so happy with it!  Out of all of Haolonggood's figures, I think the thyreophorans are my favourites.  I hope Haolonggood makes more of them!

2. Haolonggood corrected green Ouranosaurus.  It's bigger than I expected!  I like it!

[SidB]

The brown version of the HLG Edmontonia has joined my collections as of today, joining his beautiful sister. I find the subtilties of the paint job pleasing. It's not a monotonous monochrome.






He's found a temporary home on the spinosaurid shelf, but the occupants seem to want to have nothing to do with him. If this continues, he may ask for a transfer.

[Quiversaurus]

Looking forward to closer comparison images!

3D Printed and painted this Austroraptor at work. I refuse to buy the Mattel one and am mad that it is the only commercially produced Austroraptor on the market.





My design is based on Scuttle from the new Little Mermaid movie (aka the Northern gannet). I'm still a beginner at painting hahaha.

[Faelrin]

What a beautiful paint job on a great sculpt. It honestly is a shame Austroraptor doesn't have more figures, perhaps more so after showing up in Prehistoric Planet.

[JimoAi]

Got a Bandai Ball python and decided to give it a makeover to represent a Madtsoia snake. Colors are simplistic but IG it works well for a relatively large predator

[EmperorDinobot]

Someone should review the Bilinski Brontosaurus. I really want that, but I'm gonna save up for BOTM stuff, and for some unreleased protos I found. Anywho, this was my haul before the lidocaine overdose, and the ER visit because of the osteomyelitis. Late May and early June, I think.
.



I have acquired many more animals since, of course, and I'll show them off later.

@Carnoking

What an absolute unit. Congrats to all of you who scored one of these beauties!

[Roselaar]

Picked up a varied little bunch at my dinosaur dealer the other day:
