Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Ikessauro]

Creative Beasts Studio - Built and Painted by Martin Garratt

The color scheme comes from this painting. I know it's really bright for a theropod, most people don't picture them like this, but this is a matter of nostalgia to me. This painting is what made Dilophosaurus my favorite dinosaur.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

No problem with it, it really stands out !  Maybe it's venomous ?

After years of searching....




He came with a little friend:




Here they are with some more friends:




Now I'm only three away from completing the collection...

Yes its true, it looks like this:



But it can be harder to come by--like the Cambrian and Vendian figures, it wasn't re-released.

Dear God. It's a Potto! If anyone has one, I would like to purchase it from you.

Wow! Patrick - that's awesome! Congrats!

Unless I´ve forgotten one, I got the last out-of-production Carnegie dinosaur missing from my collection. Which means there´s a realistic chance that one day I´ll have the complete Carnegie collection (not counting the mammals).

[sauroid]

the classic Carnegie Plateosaurus. congrats.

the classic Carnegie Plateosaurus. congrats.

Thanks!

I wish they released a new Plateosaurus in more modern-thinking walking pose, maybe even in a larger scale.

Thanks Postsaurischian! Martin did a great job in my Dilophosaurus!

I think that if you wanna have a complete Carnegie Collection you have to count the mammals in. There's no such thing as choosing what is or is not a complete collection. If so, then I'll say that my sideshow collection is complete (not counting the maquette statues and dioramas) because I have only the Christmas Brachiosaur ornament. I think that the only exception to this rule is the Toyway WWD original set, with the Ornithocheirus not being part of the set as it was not really released. As far as Carnegie collection goes, every model was widely available for more or less long periods of time. So in my opinion you don't have a complete Carnegie Collection, you have most of it, minus mammals. I'm sorry if I went too much off topic. I guess we could even create a separate topic for this matter.

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".

It's not the expo version. Yours is the collector book version. There are two (possibly three!) white variants. When stood together, the book and expo versions actually look quite different despite the white body colour. 

[Blackdanter]

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.

The figure from the 7 piece set may account for the third variant then Sean. Japanese collectors insist that there are three white variants, something I found confusing until I saw the version from the 5 piece set and the book figure together. The third must be the more ghostly grey version sometimes seen on Ebay. ;O)

Nice addition everyone!
Well, I finally got the first group of new CollectA figures. They are all nicely done, and Carcharodontosaurus is fast becoming one of my favorite figure.

[tyrantqueen]

Add it to the list of species that Carnegie already needs to re-do..

It's things like this that make me really fed up with the Canadian supplier--they likely won't have anything at all for several more months.

I think that if you wanna have a complete Carnegie Collection you have to count the mammals in. There's no such thing as choosing what is or is not a complete collection.

And this is why I will never be a completist for most lines. The Mammals.

Behold now, my newest acquisitions: Stories of God(zilla) and the Devil (Dinosaur)

Most of this I got online via eBay. The DVD contains a documentary known as "Tyrannosaurus Sex".
I got the Beast Wars Source Book in my local comic store. I was the only guy in line who did not buy a MLP Comic. Got odd looks from the Equine Enthusiasts. And yes, it contains Dinosaur Transformers.  Sadly the guy on the cover is not included.

You need to include the full url to the images, ending in the image file suffix. Usually .jpg.  I don't know what they are so I can't help.

[brandem]

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Wasn't devil dinosaur a member of the avengers pets team?
