Pliosaurking’s Collection

[Pliosaurking]

Got the Jurassic World Inostrancevia today. Mattel did a good job on this figure I must say, and I'm glad I finally got a gorgonopsid figure!

Just Got the Botm Protoceratops Hellenikorhinus in the other day. The price was putting me off from buying it, although I really wanted to get it. Seeing as it's nearly gone from everywhere I figured nose the time. I'm glad I did it's a lovely little figure. Very impressive paint work and range of motion on something so small.


Additionally here's my current Botm display


And here's the 1:35 WWD Rex

I'm wanting to either get the Gorgosaurus or Allosaurus Fragilis next, but I'm very conflicted on which one to get, any recommendations, for or against either?

Congrats on the Proto!

What I'd do is getting the 1:35 version of the Allosaurus fragilis, because at the end of the day you're getting the same sculpt as the 1:18 version, just scaled down (which in turn would allow you to save both money and space).

And since that figure is one of the cheaper BotMs, maybe you'd have the budget to consider getting the Gorgosaurus afterwards.

In any case, if you were referring to the 1:18 versions, I'd also choose the Allosaurus fragilis, because you already have the Albertosaurus, which is such a similar animal to Gorgosaurus. On that front, I think the Allosaurus would add more value/diversity to your collection.

(Worth mentioning, I might be a bit biased towards Allosaurus as well. )

In a perfect world I'd get both lol.
I definitely plan to get at least one of the 1:35 scale Allosaurus, which one depending on if I get the big Botm one.
I do prefer Gorgosaurus as an animal, and blue is my favourite colour. However it and Albertosaurus are like you said very similar.
The Allosaurus is also slightly cheaper, and has better articulation.
I also am conflicted on which Dilophosaurus to get... decisions and money lol.

Papo's Suchomimus finally came in! Honestly one of my most anticipated figures in quite a while. It's a gorgeous piece, as nice as PNSO's is, I definitely prefer this figure. Also no warping thankfully, after seeing a few online was a bit nervous. I'm glad Papo is back!

Heres the 2 together

And here's it with the Haolonggood Argentinosaurus, as why not?

A fitting reward for your patience, @Pliosaurking !

Today was a good day, I got in the BOTM Gorgosaurus! Glad to finally have this beautiful piece in my hands, it's so gorgeous! I have to say maybe my favourite tyrannosaur they have made, maybe more than the Daspletosaurus even! I'm gonna have to compare it to the Albertosaurus and Daspletosaurus next time I'm at my grandparents. I also got to see how it looks as opposed to the blue Torosaurus. Not too mention all the Ceratopsians it lived with.
Having got both this and the Protoceratops from BOTM recently, is really making me seriously question whether I should only collect this line or not. I don't think i will stop collecting the other lines, but I definitely think it will be my primary collecting focus going forward, especially with next years line up!


The Argentinosaurus for fun Again

Had a grand haul this week!

[Concavenator]

Congrats, these two are great! I get the impression that the PNSO Sucho is a bit underrated when compared to Papo's, but Papo's is certainly another stunner.

And that Gorgosaurus is something else... Still one of the most beautiful color schemes I've seen on any dinosaur figure yet.

I was on a mini JW hunt today, went to my local ToysRus. They were actually very stocked full I could have blown a fortune. After about a half hour of going back and forth I bought the new Spinosaurus. It's an excellent figure. Best action feature they have ever made imo.
Now to hunt down that Hammond Collection Spinosaurus!!


It's got a decent bit of size on the legacy collection Spinosaurus. The sculpt difference is insane.

Here's the biggest carnivorous species I have from the line next to it.

A side note for my collecting going forward:
I am going to save up for to buy a truck or large SUV in the next year ish. So I won't be spending as much on dinosaurs in the near future, anyhow.
My main focus for this summer is going to be getting new shelves up. Luckily my mother has some in her shed, although they need to be repainted over and fixed up a bit.
Even with these however space won't be infinite, so I do need to clean out my collection a bit (storage and or sell some off). I'm likely going forward besides Botm, jw, and the odd other thing, only going to get stuff around 1:35 scale going forward as well.
I do think I'll mainly focus on BOTM in the future. Their lineup gets better and better, and this year coming looks incredible, so I definitely want to spend most my funds and use my space for them the most. I will as previously mentioned get some 1:35 scale stuff and jw, and the odd other figure.
As for things I'll be getting this summer:
I'm definitely getting the HC Spinosaurus as soon as I can find one for a decent price.
I'll be getting several of the stands that Botm has made, for at least the Gorgosaurus and Albertosaurus. May get a couple more over time.
Probably will get some Haolonggood/PNSO stuff maybe a few more jw things and possibly a couple Botm figures.
I just wanted to let everyone know what my plans are for now
