Of Uintatheres, Brontotheres, Rhinos, and Arsinoitherium

Thanks everyone. It is a marvelous figure, but I think too big for my tastes. I wish CollectA would get of the Deluxe trend and back to Standard sizes...

I think they should do everything in mini box size. Even the older dinos. Then I could have them all without running out of space and money!

The good thing about small prehistoric animals is that they take up little space, can be as detailed as large ones, and are cheaper. In my case, the prehistoric animals of medium / large size and reasonably large are more attractive. But it is my assessment. I like prehistoric animals such as elasmotherium that I can easily view on my shelves although I recognize that dinosaurs and small prehistoric animals are more practical from an economic point of view for a collector and much more manageable when placing them in shelves, as I have already stated, take up less space and also serve as collectible figures and at the same time adorn a shelf.

And that is why everyone becomes addicted to Kaiyodos once they get a taste of it.  To keep this post relevant: My only Arsinoitherium is the Dinotales Series 7 one. As I mentioned before, I normally don't collect mammals.

The Ja-Ru version of the Uintatherium has been around for the devil of a long time, and I still see a copy in mixed bags in the toy section (I can't bypass a toy rack without a look) of Wal-Mart, grocery, dollar, and other stores occasionally.

Does anyone have images of the CollectA Arsinoitherium next to other rhinos, extinct or extant? Curious how it scales with other brands' 'standard-sized figures'. Thanks much!

I am so happy to have this, the I-TOY Paraceratherium. So, I figured I'd share some pics here.


With other 1:20 scale figures:


With the only extant rhino I own (Safari White Rhino):

I recommend this figure from my own experience. That paraceratherium is much more beautiful in person than in photography. Thanks Loon for sharing those photos.

I am very pleased to own the new TNG Elasmotherium & Megacerops, although there is some question over whether the company plagiarized the designs from higher-end statues, or if they did actually hire the original artists.
(Check out the main TNG thread here for more info on this topic. I'm simply going to post pictures of the models here for the sake of adding to this list.)

Oh! Speaking of supporting original artists, though, the Chalicotherium on my Perissodactyl shelf reminded me I reviewed Michael Eischen's "PaleoSculpture" line recently, including several of interest to this particular thread!

Ooh those look really nice. I've seen them pop up on ebay a few times before but I've always been a little too intimidated to paint them myself.
That being said the Kannemeyeria and the moa are REALLY tempting me. Pyrotherium is also a really interesting pick

A comparison of some fine examples of Megacerops (Brontotherium); top to bottom - CollectA, Safari, Mojo, TNG:



Nominal sizes range from 1/20 to 1/35:





The overhead image is definitely needed to properly differentiate the size differences.

Nice to see a fresh addition to this thread!

Nice. He looks like he's moving into a stiff headwind.
