Hello,

here is my CollectA collection



Wonderful utahceratops and torosaurus.



Nice achelousaurus and the brilliant dead triceratops figure. So glad CollectA is innovating in that department. I really hope they will keep this up, this is such a smart move. I'd love a dead sauropod  8)



Alamosaurus and ampelosaurus. Both figures are fantastic imo.



Two cool figures of obscure carnivores: australovenator and concavenator



two excellent plesiosaurs, attenborosaurus and hydrotherosaurus



WWD-style liopleurodon and nice dolichorynchops (though the head is too big)



Nothronychus and therizinosaurus. The evolution in CollectA figures is perfectly shown with these two models. The therizinosaurus is one of the best figures in the collectA line.



Great hatzegopteryx, though the paint job could have been sharper. Classic pteranodon in flight stance.



Cute yet too toyish eotyrannus. Retro-style iguanodon.



Nice olorotitan and a really cute parasaurolophus baby.



Obese mapusaurus. Far from the stock photo published by CollectA, yet interesting. Great irritator despite the bunny hands.



Two based figures. Hypsilophodon family, truly a great figure. Not the greatest oviraptor, but I like it.



Epic kosmoceratops figure. One of the best ceratopsian of the CollectA line. Fantastic plateosaurus.



Two different paint jobs for the 1:40 tyrannosaurus. The second one is much nicer.



Not the best baryonyx ; zombie head and fat butt lol. The dacentrurus is one of the best stegosaur figure out there.



Great kelenken. The sole flaw of this figure is the lack of stability. The paraceratherium is a nice figure, but too glossy.



Great looking pteranodon, but it is a really annoying figure. It basically lays on its beak which tends to bend it inwards.



Huge deluxe rhomaleosaurus. Despite the conservative color and the disturbing red eyes, it is a really nice figure (and a true giant).

[Edit: October 13, 2012: Additions]



The controversial T-rex with struthiomimus prey figure. Well, I must say that, despite agreeing with most of the criticism about it, I like it nevertheless. I love the effort by CollectA to portray a realistic hunting behavior, something only high-end products manufacturers have done on this market so far (ok Bullyland did with the fishing pteranodon). The beautiful deluxe amargasaurus and its "come bite me" color. Not so thrilled about the purple, but it's really a great figure.



The rajasaurus is one of the few "non-carnotaur" abelisaurids available on the market and is truly a wonderful figure, despite some slight stability issues (but exerting some pressure on the legs will correct that).  Exquisite argentinosaurus figure (too bad it's a 1/100 scale, I would have loved it if were a bit bigger). The neck is probably too straight up but I like it nontheless.



Great miragaia sculpt, but the colors are really dull and boring. It's size makes it a perfect young animal figure to pair with the Carnegie miragaia though. Squatting (taking a dump or laying an egg) afrovenator. This is "vintage" CollectA already, but not a terrible figure, just not up to CollectA's current standards.



This deluxe deinocheirus is probably one of CollectA's top 5 (or even top 3 figures). It's wonderful and it's a really HUGE figure. It even dwarfes the large Bullyland therizinosaurus. The megacerops is simply the best mammal produced by CollectA so far and one of the best prehistoric mammal among all the affordable ranges. Based on this, it's a shame that CollectA is not releasing another prehistoric mammal next year.

[Off Nick and Eddie's reactions to the dinosaurs] Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.



{about the T-Rex) When he sees us with his kid isn't he gonna be like "you"!?

Here are the new CollectA figures who just arrived this week to my place  ;D

7 are from the new 2012 line, one is older (Afrovenator)

Oh and I can't resist sharing this. I guess some of you have seen it already, but CollectA wanted to make it VERY clear that this megacerops was a bull ;)

I think the same  ;D. Megacerops are cool and I would like to buy in a future.

If you pick this one, you won't be disappointed. It's really large and very well sculpted.
