Recent Acquisitions

[ceratopsian]

I like the mental image of your literary-minded Diplodocus, enjoying a sheltered old age after its tough life, @Libraraptor!

Nice hauls, everyone! Keep up the good collecting work!

As for me, I don´t amass as much as I used to anymore, due to the lack of time and money. Still there are many interesting things on my bucket list, but I can wait patiently.

Funnily, today I found a neglected Invicta monochrome Diplodocus, a rare find on flea markets in Germany. The head was nibbled at and it was obviously freezing to death (so far it´s been a snowy winter here in Germany), so I had to adopt it of course.

Now it is watching over my writing process and is as stunned by the frontispiece as I am

My newest acquisitions - two extremes:

At the small end, the PNSO Wuerhosaurus, a little gem.


Compared to Vitae's and HLG's offerings -


At the other end of the size scale, Samuel, PNSO's new Alamosaurus -




A quick comparison with the CollectA Ruyangosaurus and Mamenschisaurus -




Taking its place on Sauropod acropolis

S @SidB Like the PNSO mini Ouranosaurus, this one also makes for a great baby for the Haolonggood pair. Congrats on the new acquisitions. Love that sauropod display.

Thanks, @Faelrin , I've been very gradually picking up these minis, especially the ones that can double as juveniles or even smallish subadults. I'm often pleasantly surprised at the amount of detail on these little figures. Hopefully others may get back onto PNSO's radar at some point; it's been a while since they first became available, good that they're still available.

  A bit of an old acquisition, but hey! At least I managed to snag some photos of it!

PNSO Lythronax with custom lip modification by the always-talented dinosaur_models_artworks ( on IG )

Finally I have a 1:15 Giganotosaurus!

[Fenestra]

Congratulations! That looks amazing. How many people are needed to lift that thing up on a shelf?

[Flaffy]

Recent abelisaurs from Mattel. Unfortunately I don't have the Majungasaurus on-hand for comparisons too, and still waiting on RexyReviews to import the HC Carnotaurus. It's wild how different in style and realism the Quilmesaurus and Ekrixinatosaurus is compared to the bobbleheaded Rajasaurus, Skorpiovenator and that travesty of a Rugops. Still wish Mattel wasn't so stingy on the paint department.

What company made that Giga? looks nice!

Boy howdy, have I been neglectful in sharing my recent acquisitions as of late! Here's everything from the past... two months? Couldn't resist the various sales and what nots that have been going on as of late!

I'll be working on sharing additional photos in the respective threads!

 Beautiful picture. And still some people have the nerve to say PNSO colours were boring .

Haven't really seen that for the newer figures, just the slightly older ones where it was getting repetitive 

[SenSx]

Just receive the Iron Studio Lost World Velociraptor



I knew that figure was going to be underwelhming but I really wanted a 1/10 Lost World Velociraptor.
I didn't know it would be THAT disappointing, it looks even worse in hand.
It just looks soo skiny, the body proportions are weird, the thigh is too small.
The paint job on the head is not good.
Just look at the size difference in mass compare to the old Raptors.
I bought them 120 euros each of them, while that new one cost me almost 200 euros.
I'm almost hesitating to send it back, don't know if that's possible

Well, I got this Advent Calendar on sale. Normally I think the Minis are overpriced, but now on sale, and since I only have a few of them (out of the species in the calendar, I only had Gallimimus and Atrociraptor, but both in different colors) I think it's okay. Just for fun, I'm opening one door every day.



Currently I'm spending money and free time on a new kitchen rather than Dinosaurs, although I made sure it won't stay Dinosaur-free with those fridge magnets.

The second batch of nice small models from Dinosauria Creatures will be arriving very soon and I thought I would share a picture of the three little Thyreophora. From left to right these are Sauropelta, Polacanthus and Kentrosaurus. They were all painted by dinocommissions, who works very closely with Dinosauria Creatures.

It's a HAOLONGGOOD Haul-iday!

[Primeval12]

Nimona (from the 2023 movie of the same name) shape-shifted into an Austroraptor. This is the same Austroraptor found here (https://www.printables.com/model/397237-austroraptor-figurine/comments) painted by me to be Nimona. I absolutely loved the movie and wanted to have a physical object to represent it in my collection.



This may be my favorite repaint that I've done. Not only because I loved the movie but because of the shading and such.

I more or less based the colors off of her in her bird form but I took some liberties with the detailing.

Fresh on the heels of HAOLONGGOOD, two new friends from PNSO!

[Fembrogon]

With my Hiya Godzilla from BigBadToyStore about to ship automatically, I took a look around the website to see if there was anything else I could ship with it.
And there was.

Here's the full haul which arrived today:



Eofauna Deinotherium: been on my wishlist for a good while, and it was on sale for the best price I've seen recently. A splendid figure for sure, as I knew it would be.



Kaiyodo Dino Excavation volume 10: now this had me excited the most! I had no idea BBTS stocked Kaiyodos at all, and this set was on sale for price that couldn't be beat. Since they're blind-boxed, I ordered two boxes Just to play it safe...




...Only to land the complete set in the first box! Woohoo! Just one duplicate grey rex. I haven't even opened the second box, so I might hold on to it or resell it at some point. Pleased as punch with these.

There were various other sale items which tempted me, but I didn't want to spend too much. The Kaiyodos and Eofauna were the must-have options.

I'll post a shot of Godzilla in the kaiju collection thread.
