Seems like this guy will have to repaint a lot of psittacosaurs. He'll end up hating the figure!

this is the thread/collection that inspires me! i do hope you'd consider publishing your photos (a book about prehistoric animal figure collectibles).

the Schleich Psittacosaurus is decent, but that chinasaur paint job is just horrible.

That's a great idea, I'd be very tempted by such thing.

Martin is used to the pittacosaurus parade...he has done dozens of them for me as well as similar species like protoceratops , Aracheoceratops, Udanoceratops, yinlong....etc. he probably even appreciates the break from theropod mania !

Martin gets very few theropods from me either!

Nice idea, but actually I wouldn't know how to do that.

Vitae 1:35* Giganotosaurus carolinii (originally sculpted by Cheung Chung Tat)

* _{measured along the spine the model is 43 cm long. In 1:35 this would give the animal a length of 15 m (which is unlikely).
If you'd ask me it's more in the 1:30 scale. That would give it an original size of about 13 m.
Here it is next to a human 1:30 scale figure:}

Personally I'd be happy to have hi-res versions of your photos available somewhere online. That would be enough, although a coffee table book would be the top to showcase your collection. Maybe it's unlikely to have it mass produced, but if I were you I would just consider putting together a one of a kind copy for your own amusement.

Giganotosaurus Vitae looks immense next to other figures such as Safari. From what I see, it only seems to be supported by the pegs. With the figures of Safari on each side it leans to avoid falling.

In any case it is a very good and very well finished figure.

Every day I like the dinosaurs of Vitae more. What I see maybe is that the painting is a bit neglected.

Beautiful new figures... wish some of these new ones are not so expen$sive!

Nice mini diorama, ... got that Schleich tortoise since 30 years, loved it as a child

Shonisaurus · January 14, 2018, 02:15:40 PM

The diorama reminds me of the chapter in Walking with Beast in which an andrewsarchus attacks a turtle.

Reptilia · January 14, 2018, 09:02:05 PM

That WS Hyaenodon is definitely the one with better detail, among all showed in the picture. It reminds me somehow of the two Southlands Replicas models, style-wise.

Me too!!
The Schleich minis were the first figures I was collecting in my Kindergarden days.
This was in the late 60s and I still have the complete set of 72 figures.

Hehe, I also got them, slumbering in a candy tin box since the quarter of a century.... 72? I never really checked if I got all of them, but I think I at least come close. Each time me and my parents went to one of the bigger stores in the city (which was like two times a year or so) I seeked the "Kaufhof" where they sold these and bought several for like 20 Pfennig (10 cent) each.

Nice Kaiyodos and the base of that anime figure looks really nice

Reptilia · January 24, 2018, 08:24:13 PM

Brilliant and funny pictures, the courtship dance is so appropriate for the figure's pose.

The base is from Matt Manit's Iguanodon. The Kaiyodo figures are just being guests.
