So I made a video showcasing my (current) collection. Below you find only a few photos out of the video.
Next week there will be added the Invicta Ichtyosaur and Liopleurodon to my collection which I was able to score on eBay for only a few Euros each. So yay - more marine reptiles!  :))

An admirable collection. The Toyway Ophthalmosaurus is a beauty.

Thanks for sharing! I espied many real gems!

Thank you! He really is, his colours make him stand out so much!

avatar_Libraraptor @Libraraptor I'm glad I could share. Hoping to be adding some more to it in the future :)

Wonderful collection! Some outstanding figures (not to mention rare too)!

Gwangi

The Toyway Ophthalmosaurus might have the single best paintjob of any marine reptile toy. I can definitely understand why you like it so much. I wish I had one of my own!

I quite agree. I don't even collect Ichthyosaurs and I got this one for exactly that reason. It's a beaut.

Thank you! Yours isn't too bad either  ;) I saw your tour on YT a while back and was really impressed if not overwhelmed by the number and variety of beautiful figures and toys you own!

avatar_Gwangi @Gwangi Let's hope some more of these beauties find their way to eBay!

Duna

Congrats for your collection, you have some gems there! And what I like even more, you have some of the best vintage and actual figures, too, the best of the best.
I also agree on the Toyway ophtalmosaurus, is one of the best figures of all times.

Psittacoraptor

Great collection and what an adorable Ophthalmosaurus!

Thanks! Oh yeah! For me it's marine reptiles and sauropods. Canˋt wait for the EoFauna Diplodocus to finally be released and hopefully I can get my hands on the two big Carnegie ones for an affordable price in the future as well!  ^-^ I would love to get more sauropod figures from Safari or Collecta but tbh. I'm not a big fan of many that they are offering. I'm also torn about the upcoming Patagotitan - not very overwhelmed by the pictures. There are many sauropod figures I'm missing because I don't just wanna get the figures to have one of the species just for the sake of having it. I want them to be beautiful like the Carnegie Amargasaurus.  ::)

Beautiful collection you have there. Really nice seeing all those older Battat figures as well as that charming WWD Ophthalmosaurus. Welcome to the forum too.

I can see how some sauropods from the earlier CollectA releases are not up to par, but some like the Daxiatitan and Bakadasaurus, and brontosaurus are nice despite their small size.
Safari's Malawisaurus is another little gem😃
Yeah, I like the old and small Carnegie Amarga, not really a big fan of the newer and much larger model.

Hopefully you can get PNSO very first models the huge Huangititan! That is one impressive model!😃

The Bajadasaurus and the Malawisaurus are actually the two ones that I'll probably end up getting sooner or later, maybe together with the patagotitan to save some shipping. First I hoped that maybe another company would tackle the Bajada in a bit more interesting colour sheme but that could take some time.  :)

I was really hoping to get that Huanghetitan and searching actively for it in the past. Though the ones left in new condition on ebay cost too much money for one figure for me unfortunately but maybe I will be able to buy a used one somewhere sometime.

I hired an artist to repaint the Bajadasaurus for me.
