Elengassen’s collection

[Halichoeres]

Saurophaganax just takes one bite and then goes to another part of the carcass. Very inefficient!

There was pineapple on that slice

I was starting to run out of space, so I bought a new mini shelving unit.



I've put this shelf on top of my bookcase, which also functions as my secondary display space. The shelf where I used to keep my miscellaneous 1:35-1:40 figures is on my main display cabinet, which I'd like to keep just for formation displays, so I've moved all of them onto here. I've put my BOTMs on the lower level and some random other figures in front.

(I'm basically almost out of space again, but oh well, I'll figure it out  )

Tell me one collector who does not have space problems

Very nice collection in your photo   What is the plesiosauroid above the two Kentrosaurus?

Thanks!

That's the Colorata Futabasaurus.

Just got my hands on the Papo Pentaceratops.



I'd been thinking about getting this figure for a while, and when I saw it second-hand on eBay for a bargain price I snapped it up.



I'm not sure why everyone seems to rate the Haolonggood Pentaceratops much higher than this one. Aesthetically I prefer the Papo, and it doesn't have any major inaccuracies I'm aware of apart from the missing fifth toe on the front feet (which doesn't bother me much). The characteristic hump also seems to me to be better represented on this figure.

Rather fond of this one myself. I display it near the HLG one, in fact. The HLG didn't replace it, rather it supplemented it.

The hump on the Papo Pentaceratops bothers me as animals with that kind of hump have it to support muscles that carry a heavy head.  On the Papo figure it looks like a sail, which I think is most likely inaccurate.  The hump looks more realistic on the Haolonggood figure, to me.

[Elengassen]

@Sim that's a fair point. I wouldn't call it a sail – it looks roughly like an equilateral triangle in cross-section to me – but it's certainly not as buried in muscle as on HLG's representation.

"Eek! A raptor!"



Just realised the Penta's pose is perfect for this.
(Kaiyodo Dakotaraptor standing in for one of the indeterminate dromaeosaurs from the Kirtland/Fruitland Formations.)

I think the pose would also work if Pentaceratops has a phobia of roaches or small mammals.
