Katieraptor's Collection

[Katieraptor]

It's not very big, but it's kind of died since I lost/broke/sold many things. Most of these are from YEARS ago.

Warning, massive pic dump incoming.

Starting off with some older JP toys. The T-Rex and Spinosaurus made noise when you pressed either their jaws or their wounded spot, but other than that I don't know much about them. All I know about the other one is that it was labelled as an Ornithosuchus and has some really impressive jaws on it.




The old T-Rex and Triceratops from Wild Safari. They really went with some weird color schemes back in the day.


Allosaurus and Stegosaurus from the same line. The Stegosaurus and Triceratops are actually quite well detailed and made, in contrast to the Allosaurus and T-Rex, which lack some finer detail. I think the stego may be newer than the other models.


The babies from the line. I think they made a Spinosaurus baby as well, and I know I used to have a raptor baby. The allo baby is my favorite. You can see I tried to pose them to mimic the parents.


My spinosaurus. I'm not a huge fan of this spinosaurus. I dislike the pose and the hands have four fingers. (Although you can't tell that from these pictures) props on the really well sculpted head and the imaginative color scheme though.


Old Wild Safari Ceratosaurus. He's kind of a derpy fellow, but I have a soft spot for this model.


WS Albertosaurus (I think he's labelled as Gorgosaurus, actually.) and Styracosaurus. I'm honestly not a huge fan of this Albertosaurus. The teeth are really really awful, although the rest of the sculpt is decent.


New WS Allosaurus vs Some Sauropod. I honestly can't remember if that's a Carnegie or Wild Safari piece, and I also don't remember if it was labelled as Apatosaurus or Camarasaurus.


Wild Safari Pachy


I only have two Schleich dinosaurs, mostly because I dislike Schleich for the most part. The Allosaurus is quite nice, actually, but the Dilophosaurus is too bulky and I'm not a fan of how his crests bend to form almost a helmet.



I only have two pieces from Carnegie, although I used to have more. The Deltadromeus, seen below:


And the Giganotosaurus! Who is posed locked in an epic battle to the death with the Alien Queen!


I also have a few toys from the "Prehistoric Pets" line (The one that had that robotic T-Rex everyone wanted for Christmas a few years ago) They're really really really inaccurate, of course, but also adorable. These two are "Snaptors" you can open their mouths and then have them bite you by pressing their tongues. I had a Microraptor in addition to these two Dimetrodon babies, but it was given to my girlfriend as a Christmas present (I believe she made an account here, so maybe she'll share it sometime  ) you can also see a bunch of clutter and an Azog the Defiler pop figure.


Then there's this girl "Terrordactyl" or something. She's pretty cool. When you turn her on she screeches and coos. If you feed her a little sticky bug projectile, she'll vomit it back out if you press that button on her tail.


And this guy, the mama (or papa) dimetrodon. This one honestly looks halfway cute, and halfway terrifying. I mean look at the teeth on it! It looks like it could eat a guinea pig or something!

Apparently these toys are fairly rare now. I recently went to acquire several more of the little snaptors off of Amazon only to find they're now going for like, $50-70!

The rest is just odds and ends. There are a few pieces I either forgot what they were, or simply never knew, so if anyone wants to ID anything for me, that'd be awesome.

This is an interesting T-Rex figure. When you pull the ring (which is kind of unfortunately located.) His mouth opens and snaps. All I remember about this guy is that I begged my mom to get this for me when I was like, ten.


A Giganotosaurus figure. I forget what line he was from, but they had all these articulated figures. I had this Giga and a T-rex (not sure what happened to the rex.) he's certainly seen better days. The day is held together on one side by copper wire, as his jaw broke, and his head is hot glued back on, as it fell off at one point. (Sorry the picture is so blurry.)


This Ceratosaurus is actually a puzzle! I don't remember much about who made him, if I ever knew, but he's actually very well made. He reminds me a tiny bit of the new Wild Safari Ceratosaurus, although he came out years earlier.



I believe this Acrocanthosaurus is from the same line. Really awesome colors on this one. Unfortunately, I'm missing his tail. If anyone happens to have a spare tail, pm me XD


I'm not even sure this is a dinosaur XD


I think I got this little dinosaur toy from a dentist's office. It's a fairly well done one. For a cheap little plastic toy that is.


Some cheap little plastic dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. There are two interesting ones that also got their own photos.


I actually quite like this little Sauropod. I can't tell if that green splotch on him is paint that has chipped off in other areas, or if it's an intentional attempt at a color scheme. Either way, I think the pose on him is actually really cool.


While it's not a masterpiece, this Uintatherium seems to be a lot higher quality than these other models. He looks like he's made out of higher quality plastic, and he doesn't have production errors that many of those little figures seem prone to (like pieces of plastic that are stretched or damaged in some way) he's a lot sturdier as well, and has less of a brittle feel that a lot of those cheap plastic models have. Anyone know if he's from anything?

Nice little collection you have started up. If I recall correcting that JP Ornithosuchus can be hard to find. Some of those WS models are pretty hard to find too, the Pachycephalosaurus and Ceratosaurus I believe.
I also have the WS Spinosaurus and it's hit and miss for sure. Mostly it is just those awful hands. I kinda like the color and the unique take on the sail.

[Katieraptor]

Yeah those I got awhile back when I was pretty little. My mom and I would stop at this Children's Museum on our way to visit my Grandparents (Who lived a fair bit away) and I'd always get a few dinosaurs.

Honestly, until I took that photo today, I didn't even notice how terrible those hands are on the spinosaurus. I also wish he wasn't in that awful position. It makes him look a lot smaller than he actually is (standing, he'd be on par with the T-Rex) The Carcharodontosaurus from the line had the same problem.

nice collection.

Cool !  Here's to seeing it grow !

[Katieraptor]

Indeed! Found a few more allosaurs that I'll be hoping to purchase tomorrow 

Also, posting this to update. The Puzzle Acrocanthosaurus is FameMaster, according to our very own DinoToyBlog review! Neat! Since I remember getting the ceratosaurus at the same time in the same kind of packaging (If I remember correctly they all come in a little egg with the puzzle pieces inside) I'm assuming he's famemaster as well.

This is a nice start! That pistol T.rex with  snapping jaws is quite interesting. Does ist stand by itself?

I never had the Cerato just the Acro..but I do believe it is.

Off to a good start I'd say!

Not on carpet, but yet, it does. I found it, actually, although the mold on this one looks a bit different. It's Safari, apparently.

Very nice!  I believe that Giganotosaurus fig is from Toysmith (Or Carnage ReSaurus?). They had a few different fully poseable figures with bendable tails

Thanks! Was just about to ask! It looks interesting.  Great start for a good varied collection btw!
