        I know it's only April now, but I'm pretty sure that Muxi's Diabloceratops will be among my personal top ten 2017 releases.

                          I only have two Nothosaurus models, the tiny blue one is from Safari's Prehistoric Sealife Toob.

Great, highly detailed model of a severely underrepresented species. You've got yourself a true gem by acquiring this work of art.

[Fenestra]

That little toob figure sure has lots of detail for such a small model.

Is it really balancing on its front 2 legs?

It's probably got its back legs and tail against something, allowing it to 'balance' on its 2 front legs.

  Thank you all for the comments!
But the quotation is a bit excessive. You have to scroll down through my post 5 times in a row now to go on.
It would be very nice if you 4 people could delete the quotes or just the pics. Thanks .

Gorgeous little fellow. Where can I grab one too please?

I bought the Nothosaurus together with an Anhanguera in 2011 from a Taiwanese eBay seller. I should have bought more. He had a few other rare species to offer. Unfortunately he couldn't tell me who the maker of these models was, so I have no clue. I'm afraid they are very hard to find now.

Is it really balancing on its front 2 legs?

No it isn't. To lift its tail I used an acrylic rod, which I erased in the pic afterwards.

There is an eagle toy that can balance on one point. Maybe this Nothosaurus has the same science.

Postsaurischian asked NOT to quote including ALL the pictures.
I totally agree with him (it's really annoying):

It's also in DTF Rules N.8

postsaurischian already explained that the tail was originally on an acrylic rod. Not only that, but he said it before you posted this. Apologies if I sound a bit aggressive but I just want to point this out.

Here is what he said:

There should be a few places in China and Taiwan that sells these high quality models, they have an entire series of sea reptiles. They are hard to obtain outside of China and Taiwan.
The maker of these models remains unknown to me, but I do know where you might bump into one or two of these.
The Shanghai Natural History Museum
In a few Eslite Bookstore in Taiwan
Places called 石尚自然探索屋 / 石尚科教商場, also in Taiwan.

Hope this helps

                                                                                          1. Irritator





                                                A comparison pic with the Invicta Baryonyx instantly came to mind:




                                                                                    2. Hylaeosaurus



                           My small Protocasts collection so far (base is from the Tamiya Parasaurolophus diorama set):

[Zhuchengotyrant]

Are the Protocasts fragile? They look amazing (kudos to Kayakasaurus), but I don't collect fragile dinosaurs, I would really want to know what material they are.
