Okay, final Update! The rest of what I got this year. ( Really need to do this more often... )


WWD3D  Alex, Edmontosaurus, Juniper, Troodon,  Bullyland Micro & Mini Stegosaurus, the fossilized Osteoderm of an Alligator, Geoworld T.rex Skull


Sega Vignetteum Triceratops x 2 ( one arrived broken, but I got a free replacement ), Tyrannosaurus, Amargasaurus

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Wow..that's  nice score too !

[Roselaar]

Aaah, Dinosaur Collectibles... A fascinating read, even though it's rather inaccurate and hugely outdated.

If you think about it, that book has become a collectible itself.

I have a question:For example if a company ever did an exclusive model-say,Carnegie doing a Yutyrannus-for a person or to a museum,is that figure intented ror general release at some point?

The only ones I know of have not been released beyond the original commission (red-cheek salamander, spinophorosaurus, procynosuchus). There are several examples of commissioned ones that are widely released, though, but they were never intended as single-location releases (like the Sue figures from Safari).

And it's unlikely that an individual would get a figure made for them--there are 5000 item minimums with Safari last I heard (just for repaints!), for example, so it's pretty uncommon even for institutions to have it done (I had heard that Safari was kind of discouraging it). Which is why we are more likely to see labels with a partnership on them for general-release figures.

[alexeratops]

Safari Ltd. Horsehoe crab (that counts as prehistoric, right? ) '
Late Christmas present.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

It could... lol

[Bokisaurus]

Not a whole lot of addition, but finally got Safari's Suchomimus. Mine must be one of the better painted one, not too sloppy of a paint job.


To complete the unknown (Geoworld?) prehistoric mammal collection, I got these two as a Christmas gift from a fellow collector

Not prehistoric, but a nice model of a Urial joining the herd


Cheers!
