Libraraptor´s collection

What time is it?

5 neural spines to the 3rd cervical vertebra.

Oh, thank goodness, then I have plenty of time before my meeting at 15 neural spines past the 5th dorsal vertebra.

That's a very cool watch!

That's a very cool watch!

Isn´t it? Unfortunaley it´s too small for my wrist to count as an everyday piece. I am always wearing a CASIO G-Shock anyway. But it´s still great to know it´s a part of my little watch collection now.

My illustrious group of venerable T.Rex figures.
Big "fat" Marx, slender Marx, Starlux, Royal Ontario Museum, Linde, Timpo, Inpro.

That's some Old School Tyranny!

Aetosaur time!
Bullyland Paratypothorax and Schleich Desmatosuchus.

Thanks for trotting out those two little "forgotten gems", @Libraraptor .

Aetosaur time!
Bullyland Paratypothorax and Schleich Desmatosuchus.

So glad I finally managed to track down the Bullyland Paratypothorax a couple years back. Easily the best aetosaur on the market. A gem of a figure. Hope CollectA will dip their toes into this family someday considering how they love releasing obscure taxa.

Not a toy, but I have a very special ballpoint pen that a work colleague brought me from the USA about 12 years ago or so. Sue can "walk" from past to present, becoming a skeleton. When she "walks" backwards, she becomes the original again. I believe that this is made possible by a special liquid in which Sue actually floats. A nice little gimmick that I always have at hand on my desk!

[SidB]

You're right @Libraraptor , that's surely unique!

[Halichoeres]

Aetosaurs are the best, but dinosaur office supplies are pretty great too.

Could not resist adding this little ceramics fella I found on a flea market to my quirky collection. LAMY Safari for size:

The newer (background) and the older version of the Bullyland Ichtyosaurus. The older version is already quite battered because I have it with me at each of my presentations of my famous toy figure - cladogram.

[Crackington]

Great to see them together @Libraraptor. I'd forgotten there was an older one and yours looks like a real veteran bruiser!

Interesting that the dark paintjob may well be closer to how they looked than the new one (thinking of that recent research into Icthyosaur colouration).

I have the newer version, which is still in pristine condition, but I'd quite forgotten about the older one, which I've never seen in the flesh, so to speak.

Wasn't there going to be a re-release of the bullyland ichthyosaur with a dark coloration and yellow spots? What happened to that?

I didn't even know there was an older variant.

Are you referring to this one?



Just found it upon searching for "Bullyland Ichthyosaurus" on Google Images, no clue whether it ended up being released or not.

Yeah that's the one (although I guess I confused the yellow stripe and orange spots)
