this is cool. i wonder about the authenticity though.

It has to be a tribute piece. In the listing they say "Delgado style" and "replica". Here is a picture of the original Delgado Agathaumas in the collection of the late Forrest J Ackerman http://images.yuku.com.s3.amazonaws.com/image/jpg/1a915cc2c8cf81e22d40926bc831a0c3c866b11.jpg
Delgado didn't make moulds, he modeled the flesh and muscle with cotton and strips of latex over his ball and socket armatures and then coated it with natural latex sculpting the scales in positive.
As you can see in the photo of the original model the latex on these eventually rots away and you can see some cotton showing through. Ackerman also had the Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus from King Kong and they were in worse shape when he still had them. Peter Jackson has the Styracosaurus. The only way an original would look this good is if it was restored which would lower the value in my mind. It's a nice tribute however.

I doubt it's original. Not enough wear and tear..doesn't even looked to have been used. My guess is it's one of the re-issues , well I think they were total resculpts based on the designs from the original film and made in the same fashion.  Came out in the late 90's or so.

cool info. i remember reading through my dad's old Famous Monsters of Filmland mags how Marcel Delgado made all the models for the films King Kong (1933) and Son Of Kong. very fascinating read.

Yes, that is where I first read about Delgado as well and I still have some of my old FMF mags including the original series on Kong. What is interesting is back in the day and still today to a lesser extent props and models were just chucked out or given away when filming was over unless someone thought they could be used again. Ackerman who created FMF saw a need to preserve these items and through his film contacts created the Ackerman collection that people could see for free in his home by appointment. I still kick myself for not making the attempt on my early trips to LA. By the time I found out about it he was already in poor health and had sold off portions of the collection to fund a legal battle with the @#$%? that took the magazine from him. When he died the rest of the collection was scattered at auction much of it in private hands. Another sorry side note on the collection' Ackerman would let people handle and even try on some of the props and there were a few items that some lowlifes stole from him when his back was turned.

:-( that's really sad. FJA was such an icon in classic horror, sci-fi and fantasy that it's quite unthinkable that all the memorabilia and props he had accumulated through the decades just went to unknown recipients, or worse, to waste. the new incarnation of Famous Monsters mag can never replace the mystique and glory of the original FMOF. (that's where i learned about Ray Harryhausen, Willis O'Brien, Jim Danforth, Godzilla and Toho at five years old, then Jurassic Park happened in my life the following year)

wow..there's me a sitting theropod finally! "Runs to bank account "

Looks like there are no feathers associated with Lythronax at this time as far as the fossil material goes.

Pity S&H from Au to EU is so painful. I'll just wait a bit.

Scratch that. This seller only sends within Australia

You have a good selection there--but the postage is a bit steep ($10 for a single figure to Canada!). I now that most of it is the usual post office stuff though.

Is there a cheaper way to ship Internationally than Standard Shipping?

There must be. I never paid $15,- S&H for such small items from the US. I'm in Holland. A $3,- item and $15,- S&H. Not exactly a bargain.

I think a lot of international folk buy multiple figures, so that helps - but I would love to find other options if anyone knows about any. On those occasions I list anything on Ebay, I try to accommodate shipping as much as possible because I know how frustrating it is getting stuff internationally. Unfortunately Ebay only lists certain options.

Decent price considering the entirety of the figures and the tags. Also, I know someone was looking for the Protoceratops.

Some rough looking Invictas but also a couple ROM dinosaurs and the Scelidosaurus looks alright.
