Recent Acquisitions

Is the Ingentia prima a bit small for 1/35 ?

On the accompanying sheet, it's described as 1/40, so you're right, @SenSx .

Yesterday I picked it up a package from Lana Time at the post office. Second favorite dinosaur and first Haolongood figure

Surprisingly, it came with the purple Huayangosaurus even though I did not preorder it
Kinda wish it was the orange one, Huayangos look good in orange... but never look a gift horse in the mouth they say...

[Roselaar]

Wonderful new dino finds!:



And a Papo Protoceratops. Okay, it's not the prettiest, but there's some charm to it, I find.

[SidB]

No doubt about it, it's "unique". Good aquisitions with the two Eofaunas.

Eofaunas' latest release, their Ankylosaurus;

The dorsal paint application seems a bit erratic. I'll correct that.

First thought that a cat would come out of the box but after having opened it...
 



Thanks @brettnj for the careful packaging

Guess who arrived today, and no better then after the new Chaos Theory trailer dropped with them in it?



As one can see the eyes in the first pic didn't really photograph well, partly from being in the box still. Out of the box and good lighting, the eyes are better (see below). Glad mine was free from QC issues. Next on my to get list is the HC Therizinosaurus. I'm trying to pace out my purchases to like no more then one or two per month now. I ordered this guy at the beginning of the month, or late Feb, and was expecting it to show up in April, so was pleasantly surprised it already arrived. Here's my cat Spaz once again, with it.

Latest arrivals from Dejankins, the fabulous Mammut americanum and Mammuthus columbi. Nobody does proboscidians like Eofauna.

Columbian Mammoth, a hybrid between the Steppe and Wooly Mammoths -




The American Mastodon


Together


With Eofauna's Steppe Mammoth (1/40 scale vs. the Columbian's 1/35) and the TNG Wooly Mammoth



On the display shelves with other Cenozoic elephantiforms for comparison. Do you recognize all of them?

[Paleo Flo]

Congrats to all of you who got the the new Eofauna proboscidians.

In gerneral I have not really an interest in prehistoric mammals, but the Columbian Mammoth is very strinking!

I always recycle...  ;  )

[ZelSeraph]

Got a cow by Nanmu! I really like this one a lot.


Also got my first Hammond Collection toy- the Allosaurus! Usually I don't go for these but I made an exception because I really like this design.


Finally, I added more to my Spinosaurus collection. Found the GR one used, the Recur one is new. New and very, very shiny...

[SidB]

An interesting mix, @ZelSeraph . I don't see the GR Spinosaurus around too often, and the Recur is a good complement to it. I'm looking at my brown Nanmu right now and find your variegated one a neat contrast.

[Libraraptor]

What an interesting mix of recent acquisitions. As far as diversity of both figures/collections and people is concerned, no one can fool us "forumers"  so quickly, I guess

[Halichoeres]

That's a very nice herd of elephants, S @SidB!

[SidB]

That's a very nice herd of elephants, S @SidB!

Thanks. Not quite unheard of, I suppose, but I may expand it somewhat when I get a couple of small 24" shelves (at least that's the plan), to absorb my extant elephants.

Sometimes that's how things start, with a single figure. Not saying for sure, but you never know!

[Prehistory Resurrection]

I came across the HC Blue, Owen Grady and Giganotosaurus figures at one of my local toy shops. I got Blue recently and said that I might also get Owen. Well, went ahead and also got the Hammond Collection Owen Grady yesterday; the first HC human character in my collection:



Unlike Blue, I think I'll keep him in the box with the spare parts.
Glad to have this dynamic, iconic duo as part of my collection;

Hi guys. I know I haven't really been around much over the past five years, due to work, time, and money.  I miss you guys, and I do miss doing reviews.  I still read the DTB and Gwangi, Suspsy as always are amazing.  So are all the reviewers.  Of course, all my students get to know the name of Dr. Adam Smith when I talk about anatomy of prehistoric creatures during class.  Ok I realize I'm rambling but there are days where you feel like a five-year-old kid.  Today ended up being one of those days. 

After a long day of work and running my kids around to different activities, I arrived home.   My wife and kids had a gift for me.  It was wrapped in a big box; I thought it was clothes.  Nope.  When ripped open the wrapping paper I see the head of a sauropod.  They got me the Jurassic World Diplodocus.  Totally not expecting it.  I was shocked and its size is awesome.  Though I'm not sure where I have an open spot to display it, it's going to pair nicely with my Jurassic World legacy brachiosaurus (Her name is Brooke). 

In fact, I need a name for this new diplodocus.  If you have any ideas, please share. 

Being a responsible adult and a positive role model for my kids are important but that doesn't mean you can't have fun whimsical moments. This was one of them.  I am just excited and thank you for letting me share this moment with you.     

[Faelrin]

@laticauda Nice to see you back around these parts again. Congrats on the new Diplodocus as well. I got mine recently, and it's one of my favorite figures now.

[JimoAi]

I'm too lazy to post pictures ATM but I've obtained the Haolonggood brown Brachiosaurus and the WWD BOTM Tyrannosaurus
