For everyone who's asking, the Crystal Palace Iguanodon is made by Favorite, it's part of their Oldies range. I do plan on reviewing these guys in the future 
Here's an example of their 1950's Iguanodon

Ah, 1950s Neave Parker/Burian-style Iguanodon, I am all too familiar with you...for decades this basically WAS Iguanodon in art. Tripod pose, permanently flexed elbows and always, always a huge wattle. There's a life-size model along the same lines in various places...

Well at least you should be happy that they got the huge wattle right!

If you're referring to the Favorite then yeah, it's spot-on! I would actually quite like one. It'd be like owning a miniature version of the life-size fibreglass one.

Ummmm .. Care to tell us who makes that Therizinosaurus and what the scale is?   

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Oh my, that is one nice Theri! He looks a little familiar, although it looks like he has a custom paint job -- and a very nice one at that! Yes, do enlighten us with his info please! 

[CityRaptor]

That is the Palaeomaster one, isn't it? Scale 1:50...

Yup, it is - cookie for you .

This picture is by Martin Garratt. I will take more pics when I got it

[tyrantqueen]

I got the Tamiya Chasmosaurus. I really like the Tamiya Para, probably will get that guy at a later date.





BTW, postsaurischian, nice Theri. Unfeathered Theris are hard to find these days (I'll probably get killed for saying that  )

Umm .. well, have YOU ever tried plucking a 5-tonne chicken?

[Meso-Cenozoic]

^^ LOL!!!

Thanks for the info, guys! He really is a nice figure. So, are you getting this already painted one?

And TyrantQueen, can't wait to see your build-up of the Tamiya Chasmo! I've always thought he's one of the nicest Chasmos out there. Congrats!

No, mine is done by Martin Garratt .

Thanks, I think it'll go rather well with the CollectA Utahceratops 

Shame there isn't any sculpting on the inside of the mouth though

new ones
Fame Master Kentrosaurus and Carnotaurus (the arms  )

Fame Master Spinosaurus and Velociraptor


SEGA Dinosaur King Shantungosaurus

SEGA Dinosaur King Pawpawsaurus (in fuchsia  )

[Krissy]

I just got CollectA Torosaurus. A bit smaller than I was hoping for but still, I'm happy to get any Ceratopsian outside of Triceratops once in a while.

"OR IS IT...?" /JackHorner

[Krissy]

*sigh* Maybe I'm being unfair on Horner here, but it seems to me like the guy's just obsessed with publicity these days. Seems like every since Jurasic Park came out he's done everything he can to make headlines. He knows how to play the media like a fiddle - he knows that if he simply suggests T.rex was an obligate scavenger, he'll be presented as the lone wolf of paleontology. And he knows if he claims Torosaurus and Triceratops are  one and the same, it'll be reported as 'TRICERATOPS DIDN'T EXIST AFTER ALL' despite it being the senior name. Anyway, went off topic there, sorry.

[CityRaptor]

Funny thing is that that the Triceratops-Stegosaurus Hybrid in DNA Fusion is actually named Toro.
And yeah, the media always gets it wrong...
Anyways, I need to get more Ceratopsians that are not Triceratops or Styracosaurus anyways...

new ones
Fame Master Spinosaurus and Velociraptor

Are those repaints? Because the Spino and Raptor I have are different colors.

[sauroid]

yes they are. ive seen them in different colors. (even the kentrosaurus is available in green.)

Papo Running T.rex
Wild Safari Ceratosaurus
Carnegie Cryolophosaurus
