Megalosaurus

Resin Desmatosuchus & Postosuchus.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Postosuchus-Desmatosuchus-Dinosaur-at-Swamp-Shoreline-Resin-Model/352249224460?hash=item5203b09d0c:g:FQYAAOSwRQxaUass

I've never seen this before.
I would buy it, but is so expensive to me. May be one of you can afford it.

The Postosuchus is an (outdated) resin kit from Jeff Johnson : http://sculptingwarrior.com/postosuchus.html


The Desmatosuchus is from another resin kit but I just don't find the link right now (but I have a picture of it on my Mac somewhere..  ::) )

That looks so much better than the ebay offering....


....anyway....


found this weirdo Apatosaurus... Goebel seems to be a producer of season decorations and other trumpery, so I am unaware if this could be a somewhat rare collector's items or just cheap deco: click!

Battat Gallimimus.

Is this rare? I didn't know Battat did a Gallimimus :o
Not rare
VERY RARE

By that figure would offer any of the members of the DTF (if you have left and obviously want to sell) a sum of at least seventy-five euros, the same can be said of the utahraptor Battat. They are beautiful figures and what is said rare.   :)

Here's an ebay auction for a Starlux Drepanaspis, price is on par. For those that need one. I have one and it's a really cool looking figure!

I can't seem to get the link off my phone so the item number is all I have (FTFY - Admin  C:-))

Edit: thanks for fixing the link admins! :)
I'm seeking Orsenigo and other interesting vintage dinosaurs. Contact me if you can help with my search!

Even for my own holy grail this price is just way to high, but if someone with more cash on their hands than me is seeking the AAA mantis shrimp this is the only one I've ever seen come up for sale.

The shipping kills it for we Canadians but I can tell you when I started in the museum in the seventies the staff were finishing some enlarged models of a flea, tick and fly of similar size and those models would have cost about 100 times this in man hours and were not much better. A clean up of the casting and a quality paint job this thing could go on display. Now that is without checking it for scientific accuracy but man that is one complicated piece for a toy!

Do you think it was cast from an actual specimen? A lot of AAA were. The largest mantis shrimp ever caught was 18 inches long...

Oops red faced :-[ don't really know much about them so thought it might be the size of the mud shrimp that I made an enlarged model of and had to look at under a microscope. At 25 cm that is well in the range of an actual specimen so could very well have been moulded from a real one and would have been the most economical way of doing it. Even better for accuracy so doesn't change my original opinion on its value.
P.S. Brontodocus' review on the ATF says it was cast from a specimen.

It truly is an amazing model, you can see why I've spent my entire (brief) adult life and most of my teens looking for it. In almost ten years of searching this is the only one I've seen come up for sale, but for something that retailed at less than $30, $110 after shipping is just outside of what I'd be willing to pay.
