Seijun's Dinosaur-a-Day

[Himmapaan]

Sadly, I don't have any extra invicta lambeos, Himmapaan, but you are welcome to paint a Dinosaur Studios one in Bongo for me!  (when I get one)

[Gwangi]

I have no real preference on the monochrome vs. color debate. With the Invicta figures at least I prefer the monochrome over the painted ones. Some toy lines though, I cannot imagine without color. The Invicta lambeo however is beautiful just the way it is and is in my opinion one of the best hadrosaur figures ever produced.

[tyrantqueen]

Oh, there are certainly some figures in my collection that I do prefer painted (Dino Riders, Tsukudas, Papos). And I wouldn't turn down a well-sculpted figure painted by Martin, Himmapaan, Copper, or any of the other great painters we have seen here. I would absolutely love to own all of my favorite resins in both unpainted and professionally-painted form.

I agree 100% with you there. I usually hate factory paint jobs. That's why customisation rocks

[postsaurischian]

Hmm Imagine if the entire world would be monochrome arrghhh! nooooeeesss!   Yikes! hahaha  xD

No matter that is your choice afterall mate So each to themselves I'm like

Imagine Auguste Rodin's sculptures being painted in realistic colours .
That would look awful - even if it was the best paintjob in the world.
I'm not interested in any painted Invicta figure.

to Seijun: All Dinosaur Toy companies should release their figures in painted & unpainted versions - like Favorite does with the 'softmodels collection'.

[Tylosaurus]

That is your choice, each to themselves

Invicta Glyptodon, 1975 - c. 2005:

[Gwangi]

Oh I love that little Glyptodon. I just got the painted one today actually but as with other Invictas I prefer the unpainted one. Still, it is nice to have both.

[Tylosaurus]

I still have that Monochrome Glyptodon, it was a gift from the Queensland Museum back in 1981 with my first school trip and I kept it ever since

AAA Entelodont (large), c. 2001 - present:

[postsaurischian]

....... that mean & ugly thing brought me luck the other day .
Still a great figure!

[Seijun]

Invicta Glyptodon. A light green color, most likely a result of sun-fading (his underside is still pink). 1975 - c. 2005

[Takama]

At least it was monochorme in the first place.

[Seijun]

Invicta Iguanodon, 1980 - c. 2005

[postsaurischian]

My very first Invicta !
I bought him at the London Museum of Natural History in 1981. As a boy I only had enough money for two medium sized figures with me . I decided for the Iguanodon because it looked the same as the life-sized stone statue at the backdoor of the Berlin Aquarium.

[Horridus]

Ah, a classic. I have him sat next to the Invicta Muttaburrasaurus and they make for quite a contrasting pair.

[Himmapaan]

Ah, a classic. I have him sat next to the Invicta Muttaburrasaurus and they make for quite a contrasting pair.

Funnily enough, my two are next to each other, too. But I suppose that would be the 'default' mode of display in their case.

Invicta Baryonyx, 1989 - c. 2005

[ZoPteryx]

That Baryonyx has got to be my favorite Invicta!
