Yeah, didn't you know they made two versions? The green one is more accurate, but I love the smaller one's extreme retro appeal :D

(I'm so tired today it took me a bit to figure out what you were laughing at--scelidosaurus post corrected! Beware the dangers of copy/paste.)
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

Ha, ha ... I know too well about these :).

BTW: Still my favourite Scelidosaurus toy figure ..... after all these years! That's one thing that makes Invicta so special.

 :)  I really like the effect of your figures against the white background.  How do you get it to look like that?  Is it photoshopped?

I am using the photo studio at my work. The camera is attached to a monostand, similar to this:

And there are two very large softboxes on either side, attached to a rail system near the ceiling. For the background, I am using a 99-cent sheet of white posterboard. The front of the posterboard has a very nice semi-gloss finish.

(mouth drools at all of the Invictas)

Your collection is impressive. The older pieces are really neat to look at, and the invicta's make me drool. They are some of the best older ones I've seen, and ones I want for my collection. Any-who, Great Collection.
