Suspsy's Collection

[petebuster1]

Well, I finally had time to dig out the rest of my collection from storage. Here is my Jurassic Park collection:



And my Lost World collection:



And finally my assorted JP toys, a couple of Dino Riders, and a Pachycephalosaurus bought at a museum many, many years ago:



More to come!

no offence they have made some awful models

Well, to be fair they never claimed them to be museum quality. And they are Action Figures, not static figures.

None taken. The toys from the first JP and TLW lines are fine for their time, but JP3 took a major nosedive. And JW looks to be continuing it.

Rexford rules! Great collection!

Very true. Especially the JP figures looked better than some of the Museum Quality figures of that time.

Here finally is my CollectA assortment. Most of them are courtesy of Fauna Figures. Not a lot, I admit, but that will definitely change this year.

The Collectas you do have are all nice ones. I wish they would retire their older figures, they're a bit of an embarrassment to these new ones.

Are there any Jurassic Park figures still on your wish list? 'Cause it's surprising how cheap a lot of them pop up for on Ebay, even Mint On Card.

Agreed. If CollectA were to halt production on all its pre-2011 prehistoric figures, I doubt anyone would be upset. And yes, I'm quite selective with my CollectA choices, or at least I was. I certainly plan on getting the entire 2015 assortment.

Nah, I've got enough already. Besides, it'd mean less cash to spend on brand new stuff.

Oh, I don't know, I'm somewhat fond of their cute 2010 Kentrosaurus. Lovely collection by the way suspsy!

[Arul]

Wohooo love that collecta  i just got that trike corpse few days ago from a store in singapore 

[suspsy]

Yes, the dead Triceratops and Stegosaurus are two of my all-time favourites. I grew up watching nature documentaries where predators dispatched and devoured prey, so I would have dearly loved toys like these as a child. My fiancée, however, absolutely hates them. Some of my non-dinofan friends also think they're disgusting.

My four year old niece often tries to administer first aid to my dead Triceratops. Aside from carcasses it'd be good to see Collecta try some other things - like nesting dinosaurs, or sleeping. The new Temnodontosaurus is going that way, I suppose.

[suspsy]

As I've mentioned before, I would really love to see CollectA do a dead theropod next. A gored T. Rex is probably the first thing that comes to most people's minds, but I think a cooler idea is a Mapusaurus that's been crushed and mangled by the feet of an angry Argentinosaurus. Just like in that one episode of Planet Dinosaur.

I'm really excited about the Temnodontosaurus. The problem with sleeping dinosaurs, however, is that they'd probably be too dull and unexciting. CollectA needs to keep children in mind as well as collectors when they design their products. It's the same reason why most African lion figures are in stalking poses as opposed to lying down.

And that's adorable about your niece.

[triceratops83]

The Mapusaurus is a good idea, I remember the big footprints in its' chest from PD. Majungasaurus would be good as well in a two pack with an updated version.
Yeah, I understand about keeping it exciting for kids, but Collecta's the brand to pull it off. Also, Schleich's done a resting lion, so  it's not out of the question. I wonder if the Daspletosaurus was a good seller? A whole set of a pride of Tyrannosaurs could include a number of poses and age groups. I wouldn't even rule out Collecta doing a mating pair of dinosaurs. I think next year Collecta is really going to wow us.

[suspsy]

Oh, I'd totally snap up a sleeping dinosaur figure. It'd be indescribably wonderful if the 2016 lineup included a resting/doozing/brooding Deluxe Feathered T. Rex. Then you could have Mommy, Daddy, and Junior.

I've thought about a mating pair of dinosaurs or megafauna, but I wonder if even CollectA is ballsy enough to pull that off. Fact is, human culture gets way more upset about any kind of sexual imagery than violent imagery. At least North American culture does. :p

[triceratops83]

True, true. I think there'd be an outcry from someone somewhere. But dinosaurs make it in a number of documentaries... I wouldn't expect it, BUT, at the same time, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Collecta managed it.
Schleich has a number of Lion cubs in playing poses, that might be a more feasible direction.

[stargatedalek]

Perhaps a more "subtle" mating behavior, with a pair of animals displaying to each other.

Awesome collection you've got, if its CollectA you're looking to get more of I can't recommend that kelenken enough

[suspsy]

The Kelenken seems to be out of stock everywhere I look.
