Thanks Blade!
I forgot to post a pic of this guy, Bullyland Soft Play Mammoth; He's huge, just look at the pencil sharpener for a comparison.

And There's more! Here's what arrived today. After a long wait, but I'm happy they got here intact. Thanks Helge!

TQ: is that book totally in Nihongo?

Yes, it is. I don't speak or read Japanese, but it has more pictures than words, so it's all good. I believe art is a strongly visual process anyway.

Where can one find a copy of this book?

Where can one find a copy of this book?

I got mine on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, with the help of a Japanese person. It's also for sale on Amazon.co.jp. Kazunari Araki has actually published other dinosaur related books, but I don't know how good they are.

Just picked up these pieces. I love this baryonyx. One of my favourite models.
dont recognize some of the others though...
Can anyone offer any help?

I have that same Pteranodon. It's from JP3 so I'm guessing it's a Hasbro.

Actually, it's a Pteranodon from the original JP Series line, so it's a Kenner figure.

Wow, I didn't know it was that old! Sweet.

Look what the postladyperson handed me this morning. An Eotyrannus by CollectA.



His face looks pretty goofy in real life, compared to the pictures I've seen. Kinda has the dopey expression of a cartoon dog, and he has a lazy eye, but that sort of adds to his frantic looking zany cuteness.

Got a Takara Tomy Yutyrannus and Kaiyodo Dinotales Sinosauropteryx today from Mr. Postman.





My poor poor bank balance...

This forum tends to have that effect...or exacerbate it.. lol

Awesome sinosauropteryx   .

Yeah I've noticed an ever more increased inspiration to acquire more little buddies since joining. (didn't think that was even possible, but it seems just as my obsessive nature apparently reaches it's threshold, it's threshold increases. It's sort of like a work out).

[FUTABA]

Awesome sinosauropteryx   .

Thanks. I got him second hand, but he's pretty much in mint condition. Very pleased.

It's been a good ten years since yo would find those 'new'! Now you just have to find the other colour version!

I like the albino look of the Sinosauropteryx.

Yes, ever since I've been a lurker here, I noticed a certain increase and me starting to collect series I did not collect before.

Same here... Favorite is a good example and I'm fighting a HUGE urge to start collecting Kaiyodo...

Don't fight it, embrace it! Like I did. I don't regret it.

Don't tempt me. Just saw one reasonably cheap on Ebay but I really can't justify it

I fight a lot of collecting urges too but don't fight the Kaiyodo one. They're a line really worth collecting. Beautiful, accurate and depending on how you do it...cheap.

Oh, but you can--it's a much better paint job up close, a more stable figure, and the pieces fit together better (which are the general justifications for any of the S1v2 Dinotales)
