Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Brontozaurus]

Found a bunch of Kaiyodos in a hobby shop. I had most of them, but there was a trilobite there that I didn't have. So I bought it and looked it up when I got home. Turns out it's a Triarthrus. It looks pretty cool.

I bought the collectA baronyx and triceratops box set today for $15, is that a good price?

[Thundercharge]

Handful of Dinotales!

Yes, I really think so!

Anyway, yesterday I found a shop here in Palermo that sells Mojo Stuff and I bought the Sarcosuchus!

[Thundercharge]

any trouble assembling them?

All of them except the Deinonychus skeleton were pretty easy to put together, and took less than a minute. The Deinonychus skeleton however... didn't want to stay together, and then one of his arms wouldn't want to go in. I ended up breaking off the peg trying to get it in. So I just ended up wedging the broken end into the hole and it fit much better 

Nice dinotales!

Thanks!

I had to play mix-n-match with no less than three deinony skeletons before I could get two completed with properly fitting parts. One arm would not fit into any of the three torsos! But I must say, for mass-produced micro-puzzle figures that were originally given away free, I'm surprised Kaiyodos fit together at all!

If you have the Rest of the 2010 CollectA set, be sure not to place your Tsintaosaurus behind him

oops

[Thundercharge]

So wrong   

[Lio99]

Ha!  I laugh   

[Bokisaurus]

Ok, just got some of CollectA's new figures! Wow REally impressed and liking these new figures!
Firs tup is the lovely Theri, finally got it! It's truly a beautiful figure!They did a wonderful job on this guy, and the color is a lot more complex in person than in those stock photos. Its a must have figuire, Dan did a great review on this figure.

Next is the 1:40 Neovenator, another excellently sculpted and designed figure. Nothing like its predecessor, this one is totally new and its awesome!
Very well balance on its small foot. Nice movement on the figure.

And here we have the first from the family group series, the hypsos
Again, these guys looks better and seems to be better sculpted than in the prototype photos. They are small! Its nice to have this group, good for diorama displays

Just got the Collecta therizinosaurus, kosmoceratops, WS Vagaceratops, Acrocanthosaurus and Ceratosaurus ...

My reaction is just da*n!  I don't know which one is better than the other 

The Theri is my favorite PVC figure.  Period.  Epic, as the youngsters say ... 

the Kosmo is fantastic;

the Acro is the best one done to date - I like it better than the Battat one, and man, THAT is saying something!

the Ceratosaurus is the best toy one made to date - feet could have been smaller, though ...

the Vagaceratops is superbly done - it doesn't totally float my boat (not enough head ornamentation), but as a sculpt its an A+

WOW.

And the best figures (Deinocherius, Argentinosaurus, etc) aren't even out yet ....

[Gwangi]

Before those pictures I wasn't sure if I wanted the Neovenator, now I'm sure I do.

[Tylosaurus]

This CollectA Therizinosaurus looks interesting and indeed a lot like Deinocheirus, makes me want one tooz


Just like their odd looks the over sized forelimbs and then the Gallimimus head, neck & body they look funny, which makes them cool.
Ancestors of the birds me thinks, in time the long arms were replaced by wings, taking Archaeopterix as a very good example

[postsaurischian]

I just got this TS Muttaburrasaurus that was generously sent to me by Boki .



Thank you, Boki. I owe you .
Only a few weeks ago I visited this old friend twice .......

....... as displayed in Brisbane / QLD


....... as displayed in Sydney / NSW where I only had the bad camera with me

What does "TS" stand for?
It's a very lovely figure, I don't think I have ever seen one before or knew it existed!

Therizinosaurs weren't the ancestors of birds, although they were very birdlike. They actually evolved the backwards-facing pelvis convergently, probably as an adaptation to make room for a big ol' herbivorous gut.
