Recent Acquisitions

[Gazso1024]

@Gazso1024 I really like that googly eyed ankylosaur, lol. Any idea who made that one? Also congrats on the Safari Smilodon. Still one of the best models out there to this day.

Yeah i also like these little guy. I don't know which company made it, but the little ankylosaurus looks similar to one in a review on the blog: https://dinotoyblog.com/dinosaur-miniatures-unknown-company/.

Got some new stuff in: the smaller guys first: got a little clownfish in a tank that's part of the Okinawa aquarium set distributed by Coca Cola, a Fuecoco from the Pokemon scale world line, Mini brands SpongeBob and Patrick meme figures and the Animal Heavenly body Great white and beluga, which does feel like Ikimon figures in terms of sculpt and paint quality.



For the larger Figures, I got a replacement Schleich Great hammerhead with better plastic, a repainted Safari ltd tylosaurus which I feel is my favourite accurate mosasaur sculpt sans the pain and the repaint I did is sooo much better. A few Japanese figures: the Kitan Club stingray which represents a Pitted stingray and I was shocked at how big it is for a gashapon figure, a Kaiyodo football fish, Bandai ancient fish wave 2 sturgeon and Xingu river ray which replaces the Colorata and Kaiyodo ones respectively and finally, a Colorata giant squid, which feels so much more premium than the Safari one. Don't get me wrong the Safari one is a nice figure on its own but this Colorata one is something else. Was very lucky to find one loose for a decent price without having to pay a pretty penny for the expensive but in production Deep sea creatures box from Colorata

Recent loot from the flea market . The little pink Giraffatitan is the most accurate figure I have ever seen.

Another 2024 JW catch, plus two neat-o Collecta figures:

When I was at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show yesterday, the Black Hills Institute had a fossil exhibit set up and had a number of otherwise hard to find figures for sale along with it. I came away with a Papo cave bear and a Safari Qianzhousaurus from that one.

Over the past few weeks I've had more packages arrive, but I forgot to post em lmao, so here they are! The rest of my x-mas haul! (almost)





Pnso's spino especially is absolutely magnificent!

I was looking through the old "Recent Acquisitions" thread where it got cut off at 10,000 replies and realized we're over halfway towards that here!

[Ikessauro]

Hey, is it an illusion of the photo or your Mosasaurus doesn't have that awful seam line so visible?

[Primeval12]

Time to break some stuff! New dinosaur painted like Nimona. This is Stegoceras, a small pachycephalosaur from the late Cretaceous. I felt like it went with Nimona's "let's break stuff" attitude quite a bit. I also love the speculative quills on its tail!

Picked up another lovely JP set today:

[PrimevalRaptor]

Finally picked up the Papo Acrocanthosaurus thanks to a sale, really stunning model even if it's a bit shrinkwrapped, this guy fits Papos signature style REALLY well and I just love the pattern they chose for this repaint

[SidB]

You're right, @PrimevalRaptor , it is an excellent representative of the classic Papo style.

How could this arrive so fast? When was this shipped?

[ceratopsian]

You must be one of the very first in the West to receive yours. Congratulations @postsaurischian!

How could this arrive so fast? When was this shipped?

 I'm also surprised. I got my shipping e-mail about a week ago.
 FeedEx took over at Frankfurt airport - I guess that's why it went on so fast.
 They took an extra 7 Euros, but I don't mind, it's still a good deal.

My copy was shipped on 24 January and I paid 48 USD for shipping. It is only today that the tracking states that a flight has departed. So I guess that if I am lucky it will maybe arrive by the end of next week.

I feel like a dinosaur myslef .. not being up-todate on the new stuff being chattered here -
so, I'm probably the only one who, rather embarrassing to say, need to ask -
What is it ?
