Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

The first Anhanguera is the better one- it doesn't have a seam line going through the wings

The first Anhangeura picture is the S1v2 re-release. As with most of that series, the paint jobs tend to be better and the fits on the figures are better thought out.

Thanks TQ and Sbell for the clarifications!  I like the Series 1 Version 2 too than the other. How about the Megalania, do you also have the same problem as mine? The Dimetrodon does not fit as well too.

Yeah, my Megalania doesn't fit together at all really. My Dimetrodons (I have more than one) were always okay though--but my s1v2 is better fitted, and I like the colours more!

Finally.....






It's cost a bit and taken a long time but I have managed to complete the 2004 expo set. And what a set it is too.

[docronnie]

Congrats UK!  What a beautiful figure! 😃

[Ikessauro]

Really nice model, it must be quite hard to get it outside of Japan, right?

[SBell]

Nice find. I only have half of the 2004 set myself--can  never seem to get a good deal on the others.

[alexeratops]

Awesome!

[sauroid]

yeah it is impressive.

[EmperorDinobot]

Dinobot Slash, a new addition to the Imperial Dinobot Army.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I keep wondering and perhaps it is just me, but each movie we get about dinosaurs, wether Jurassic park, or transformers, or even the spate of B movies tossed out over the years.......raptors, spinosaurus, tyrannosaurus. Those three....never anything to broaden or move away from the shredding three. We got a tease of how that can be done, with the first Jurassic park with the Dilos, but since then pretty much nothing.

[tanystropheus]

Papo Archaeopteryx from Dan's Dinosaurs.

Excellent quality, service and quick delivery. Thanks Dan 

This is definitely the most colorful Papo.  Feathers are exquisite -- I can't wait for the inevitable Papo Therizinosaurus!

The answer is Stock Dinosaurs.  While Tyrannosaurus was before, Raptors and Spinos became those thanks to Jurassic Park.
But kudos for giving this fellow "feathers". Second robot dinosaur I know to have them. The other is Gabutyra. ( Those yellow spikes on his head are feathers in his organic form )

Well the Asylum Movie Age of Dinosaurs, had some different species like Carnotaurus, and Ceratosaurus.

Ice Age 3 used Guanlong instead of raptors

Age of dinosaurs was good. i liked it.

[EmperorDinobot]

Seems like we may never get away from those dinos in robot forme. But believe me I've got some Robot dinos that are more than just raptors, T.rexes and Spinos. I've got Centrosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Archaeopteryx, animals like Archelon, Pachos, and arguably the new dinobot Strafe is a Dsungaripterus with a polycephalic condition.


Anywho, if you guys wanna know what is the best dino robo on the market right now, read the review of TFC Sir Toys Dino Combiner here: http://emperordinobot.blogspot.com/ in my new blog. I will be reviewing all my dino robos there, as well as more stuff.

At last. They must have walked there :-)

I am so glad they got there, it would have been such a shame had they been lost forever.

Thanks for the trade too.

[Roselaar]

Just got these in the mail:

The Utahraptor and Leallynasaura are grand, but I already knew that as I have loose samples too. The baby dinosaurs are fun, but remain shameless Safari bootlegs. 

[Hynerpeton]

Nice. How much was the raptor?
