Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

Dino-Riders Triceratops! for .99! AAHAHAHAHA!!! I'M SO HAPPY! He's in very good shape, too! I'd offer him, but those sweet honey eyes... I LUV IT TO DEATH!

[CityRaptor]

Which did you get? The original with electronic walking action or one of the re-issues without? ( There are two, Smithonian and Cadillacs & Dinosaurs )

My Kaiyodo capsuleQ marine reptiles set arrived today, too. Things of beauty! I don't know how they cram so much detail into such tiny figures. Anyone else who bought from the same seller on eBay got a real good deal.   

Like me!

as did I, but mine haven't come yet (actually they may have, but I'm away from home right now, may have a surprise waiting for me)

Pliosaurus kevani was not named til 2013...

I was especially pleased to see P. kevani depicted.

Were you involved in describing the species?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Patrick that's crazy how much better the figure looks..really shows off all the detail Dan put into it!

Thanks! I think that's been my favorite thing about painting models so far, the details really do start to become more defined the moment the brush hits the surface. It's a great way to get an appreciation for the work that goes into the sculpting process.

Yes

Wow! That's really cool!

Good job on the paint job. I just my Dino's with color.

Thanks! Colorful is good - but I had some concerns about making it look realistic. Once I get more practice in, I'd like to more with patterns and colors; it takes some skill to make a vibrant color scheme work.

Very interesting! It looks like Kaiyodo did a good job getting the shape of the skull right. Congratulations, by the way

[Fukuiraptor]

A golden t-rex by Schleich.  I have posted it on my collection thread but might as well show it here so that anyone knows about it can tell more

@Patrx,I'll second the remarks on the paint job on the Pachyrhinosaurus.Very impressive.
Seeing just how detailed it really is makes me very glad to see Battat's dinosaur line coming back with one of the original sculptors.

Thanks, John! The Pachyrhinosaurus is the first Battat figure I've gotten a close look at, and it really is a great sculpt. I think it's safe to have high hopes for the future of the line.

So, now there is the Papo Allosaurus:



For comparison sake, here he is with the Schleich Allosaurus:



And I know they were not contemporaries, but niiiiice:

[Invicta Hunter]

[DinoLord]

That Brachiosaurus is beautiful. Where did you get it from?

[Roselaar]

Look at the size of that thing!

Really? 

You mean you didn't just buy the entire lot just FOR the Troodon?
