the banner looks great the way it is. "less is more" as the saying goes.
the thing with the rebor hatchling trike, it isnt considered a toy. if it gets included, we have to include resin figures in the banner in the future.
"you know you have a lot of prehistoric figures if you have at least twenty items per page of the prehistoric/dinosaur section on ebay." - anon.

I can change the two figures in the banner every other month, that should be quite easy to do. JP figures for June is a good idea!

The new banner is superb. 

Much better than the old ones which were a bit crowded with resulting reduced quality of images. 

I love the big bold lettering book-ended between two distinct, eye-catching figures.

"Less is more" sums it up perfectly. It makes a statement.

Sounds like a plan to me!

Yes, I agree, it would be fun to change the banner more often. But every new year you should do a major change, not just changing the figures, but the whole layout, like you've just done. ^-^ Just a suggestion.
like a bantha!

Just to confuse everyone we should put a bunch of Barbie dolls in the banner.
In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.

I too will have to get one for my niece, but the damage is already done - she's already a Dino Nut. Dinosaurs are great for kids, they get them interested in the natural world, art, so forth. Good to try and steer them away from all the shallow, superficial stuff they seem to grow up with nowadays, and give them something real to invest in. Better Mr Lambeosaurus from Dinosaur Train than Miley Cyrus.

Great work on the banner Mr. Admin! I think dropping off the word 'the' was a good choise. The banner looks very balanced! I also support the idea of JP figures when the movie's about to come out? :)

There have been no complaints so yes! I'll change the figures every few months.


Concavenator

A little disappointed,honestly.No disrespect to Ikessauro for his wonderful jobs on the banners,but with so many badass models released this year I think that two is a just a little (imho) poor,even though they'll be changed every month,but I guess everyone else is loving it. :-\
