Hello! I made a similar post on your sister site Animal Toy Forum, but I figured I'd make one here too.

I've been collecting extant animal and extinct mammal figures for the last 25 or so years, basically my entire life. Besides older dinosaur figures from when I was a kid, for the last ten years I basically stopped collecting dinosaur figures because I wanted more scientifically accurate replicas, and was disillusioned by the "toy" looking models I found. Little did I know that while I was away from the hobby, Safari has been absolutely killing it with their figures!

Because of that, I have mostly older Safari Ltd figures, but the past few years I've been expanding to their newer figures, Collecta, Papo, EoFauna, and PNSO as well. Just got my first from them with the "Winter" Wilson T-Rex! It goes well with my Giga from EoFauna! I'm also looking into getting the W-Dragon Giraffatitan, ITOY Paraceratherium, and GR Toys Spinosaurus.

I've been lurking here for about a year, which is when I discovered this forum and the wonderful accompanying blog, which made me realize just how far dinosaur figures had come. I figured now's the time to finally make an account, and so I did! Looking forward to contributing and talking with you guys, and I'll share my collection soon!

P.S. I think my collection will be growing soon, gotta take advantage of Safari's Earth Day Sale!
