Excellent hauls everyone! 

Very nice Ammonite, Roselaar!  Congrats on your spiny Augustinia, Ridureyu! 

Some recent catches (yesterday and today):


Disney Dinosaur Electronic Talking Kron - 2000


Univerasl Studios Japan Coca Cola Jurassic Park - The Ride


Univerasl Studios Japan Jurassic Park - The Ride 3rd Anniversary Universal Pin Trading III


Kaiyodo Coca Cola Jurassic Park III Triceratops


Capcom Dino Expo 2009 The Miracle of Deserts Gigantoraptor 03 - 2009


Kaiyodo Dinotales Series 1 Siamotyrannus SP03 Orange version - 2001


Kaiyodo Dinotales Dinosaur Expo 2002 limited edition figure Acrocanthosaurus (?) - I might be wrong, since it has a different paint scheme.  Does anybody know what this is specifically? Underneath it says "Kaiyodo 2002 057 UHA".

TIA and TFL!

I never noticed the subtle shade of blue on that Acro before. Kaiyodo factory paintjobs really rock

Just picked this one up:



Pretty cool Ammonite. A bit smaller than expected though.

Amazing! Very cool!

hey all I don't usually add here but recently I got ahold of some krentz from the antideluvian set.  I didn't look at the measurements before I ordered but wow they are tiny, and while that's a little bit of a bummer I am constantly impressed how much detail was imparted on such a small scale.  So since he's done here's my afrovenator.  A marvel no-prize to the person who guesses what extant reptile the paint is based on:

As you noted, it is a different colour than the usual purple one from series 3. It was repainted in it's light-coloured form for the Dino Expo in 2002 (along with a red Seismosaurus, Seismosaurus skeleton, Blue Deinonychus (also a repaint from Series 3) and a different coloured Stegosaurus (repainted from series 2).

Kaiyodo seems to like repainting it's big theropods in a white form as special releases (see also, the S2 Allosaurus, and the S1 Tyrannosaurus, which has been repainted several times).

Although they all seem to vary--mine lacks the bluish tinge:


Although comparing now, it really looks like a completely different 3rd scheme (purple here):


Mine came from a 5-piece box set; I'm wondering if the very white one comes from the 7-piece set that I have seen, which includes Ankylosaurus (a repainted S3 Saichania) and an Acrocanthosaurus skeleton. I don't know if the colour is different on the Acrocanthosaurus.

[docronnie]

Very beautiful ... Congrats!

Ok! Thanks Sbell for the clarification.  I only relied on brontodocus' Kaiyodo reference, wherein I did not find this color scheme. BTW aside from the bluish tinge, the top color of the Acro is somewhat orangy and the tip of the tail is red.

I got this loose, but someone else got the Saichania and Seismosaurus. The seller showed them to me, they were reserved. I missed them by a few hours, since I had to finish the Pacquiao-Bradley fight!!

Anyway, this might be from the 7pc set as you mentioned.

There is also the white Version of the S4 Tarbosaurus, which has a very similar colorscheme:

[Jetoar]

Wonderful new acquisitiosn friends. These are my last acquisitions .





Finally I have the WWD Liopleurodon in my hands. I have been looking since 10 years. I cry of happiness  .

[sauroid]

whoah awesome Jetoar. i love that sol90 gorilla!

[EmperorDinobot]

Is there a company out there that makes models of prehistoric primates? I don't mean the usual things we're accustomed to like australopiths and gigantopithecus or other extant forms, but extinct forms such as Teilhardina or Darwinius and stuff like that?

Thanks friend  . It is a nice replica  .

I dont know very well  .

I don't think so.  Figures of mammals from the Early Eocene are rare.  Darwinius would be great in a 1/1 scale as it weighed less then 2 pounds. Teilhardina at an ounce would make a great dinotails figure. 

[CityRaptor]

If you think about it, more than two thirds of mammal evolution are nearly uncovered as figures. Instead companies opt for stuff that is basically a hairier and/ or bigger Version of modern mammals, which are pretty much covered anyways.

[Roselaar]

Great acquisitions everyone!

That white Acrocanthosaurus is new to me. Any pictures of that 7-piece set per chance? I hadn't heard of it yet.

Tetonius and Henkelotherium were part of the NHK set by Yujin, and the former is a Paleogene primate. Sadly, it was one of the few not re-released with the gashapon version.

I'd forgotten that one--again, a chase figure in the set. They like their special light versions of large theropods! I'm surprised the Spinosaurus from Series 5 Dinotales wasn't released elsewhere as a white figure.

Great acquisitions everyone!

I can't seem to find a good picture of the set together. I did a Google search and came up with this. It has 6 of them from a seller (but some of the auctions are no longer present).
