Also found two cool books, Special Effects: History and Technique, and Batman: The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight, plus a huge load of comic books and graphic novels of among others Hellboy, Batman, Spider-Man, Donald Duck, Storm, X-Men, Avengers, Spawn and Witchblade. So I've got some light reading to do for the next few months. 

I did leave some dinosaurs lying around I should have bought in hindsight though: a JP III Spinosaurus, Pteranodon and Brachiosaurus, an oldie Schleich T-Rex and Triceratops, a classic Carnegie Spinosaurus, a Safari baby Apatosaurus and a Safari Great Dinosaurs Spinosaurus come to mind as items I should have picked up after all. Oh, well...

I love the Okapi figurines.

Okapi & Dilophosaurus plush

Nice ! I like the plush Dilo..who makes him ?

[Metallisuchus]

Toy Network makes the Dilophosaurus. My mom got it for me for Christmas '08. Dinosaurs for Christmas - I guess some things never change 

[Bokisaurus]

OMG, it feels like its been eons since I received something new or even posted! 
Here are some of my newly acquired figures
Some of CollectA's 2012 modern animals! Really wonderful figures!


Also got this SRG Mosasaur! Yes!

Nice pictures and figures!  Interesting for you to use a different backgroud.  Where did you get the SRG Mosasaurus?

Thanks, Stoneage. Yes, I'm experimenting a bit I tried it with my usual, but the figures are dark and blended with the backgroud
I got that SRG mosasaur on ebay, for less than $50 I was surprised

Thats a nice plush Okapi, was it produced by KMI?

Not at all..lol

Thanks for the info, it looks really nice..I'm very tempted to find one as well.

I did get this fellow in today , Carnotaurus bust by Tommy Kollmer :






Expect to be hearing more about Tommy later..

[sauroid]

nice bust. how big is it?

the Schleich Apatosaurus i got recently

[brontodocus]

Please forgive me...

...I have done evil!

[lcamiro]

Please forgive me...

...I have done evil!

Ohh Lord, you really went straight to dark side of the force      Now you are imprisoned in Ebay evil forces 

I looked for refuge in Japans auctions, but recent Battat sighthings are dragging me back in EBay black hole 

Annekin Skywalker has become Lord Vader !!!! 

[postsaurischian]

    SINNER  !!!

Congrats - your Dino toy collection is moving towards perfection .

[postsaurischian]

I want the Red River Hog!
Where did you get it?

[Dyscrasia]

Please forgive me...

...I have done evil!

Wow.....

[tyrantqueen]

Brontodocus, the only thing I can say is....I don't envy your wallet

Anyway here is the new Schleich I received today





Meeting its french cousin 

I also received the new Schleich Parasaurolophus, but since it's just repainted and shrunk down I figured there wasn't much point in photographing it XD

wow, she is looken good. Is the jaw all rubbery like the Papo Rexs?

[tyrantqueen]

Well it opens and closes like the Papo Rex does. The jaw's open and closing mechanism is an almost perfect copy of the Papo's too.
The figure does feel kinda rubbery all over, not the hard plastic-y texture you feel when you touch a Schleich figure.
It's more closer to the texture of Bullyland models (kinda soft rubbery) feel.

Hope that makes sense XD

[Thagirion]

They're beautiful, Takama.  Hehe, the rexes are trying to warm their way back into my #1 spot.

[Simon]

CONGRATULATIONS BRONTODOCUS!!!!!!!!  YOU HIT THE 'MOTHER LODE'!!!!!


(As an aside, what is wrong with ebay?  Without ebay we would have no chance at all to ever find stuff like Battat, or many Japanese dinos.  Icamiro - I assume you are kidding when you said you 'sought refuge' on JAUCE - with the fees and costs its a heckuva lot more expensive than ebay.)

BTW, that new Schleich TRex ALMOST looks tempting enough to get ... wish we had more photos from other angles ...

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

nice bust. how big is it?

the Schleich Apatosaurus i got recently

It's around 18" high and about 16" from nose the back of head I think.

I love that Schleich Apato..his blue-ish color reminds me of cheapo blue Diplo  I had when I was little.

[Seijun]

Please forgive me...

...I have done evil!

I don't suppose this means you have any "extra" battats now, do you? 

[tyrantqueen]

Sure...this enough angles for ya?









Any particular angles you had in mind?
