Nice haul! And good thing you got that Safari Edmontosaurus - it's starting to get hard to find.

I had one already, that one and the baby rex are going to be repainted...

Can't wait to see it! That Edmontosaurus is a great choice for repaints.

I received the repainted Styracosaurus statue from Sideshow Collectibles this week. It was #42/1000.

I don't think I've ever seen the original figure in person. And it looks to be in good condition too. Congrats!

Thanks! I was really surprised at its condition, too; there's only a few scuffs.

I almost went for her myself..but the shipping for me was around 30.00..that was a bit much i thought.

That's a bit excessive.  It was only $8 for me. I wouldn't have gone for it if the shipping was $30 either.

Newcomers to my collection. The Spino was sculpted and painted by me but a 'new aqcuisition' anyway:D I have to say the new Safaris I just got from Dan are simply stunning! They went straight to the top category for me. They are worthy to stand next to my Battats! (Not many figures make it to my Battat shelf.) And special thanks goes to our very own TheLordsGym for expanding my Battat collection. (If you're reading this I fixed the missing toe.) Thank you for that and all the other figures I got in exchange for my Spino vol. 1. I'm a happy dino guy!

Your very welcome Mikko......The ourano looks great! And thanks again for the awesome specialty spino....he is in a place of prestige amongst my vast collection!

My valentine's day presents from my boyfriend...haha, he knows how to please a girl! He definitely has a thing for sauropods...







We both had to agree that the deluxe CollectA amarga is a truly wonderful model!

[Everything_Dinosaur]

Great pics!

[Tallin]

Thanks!
I do believe he ordered these chaps from your website actually!

Thoughtful present and nice pics.

[CityRaptor]

My additions since Christmas:

Found the Apatosaurus ( which makes a nice retro piece ) at a store that had a sale on several Schleich figures to make room for the new ones. Besides that, they only had the small Tyrannosaurus on sale. ( They were out of the other small ones, but had tons on that one....)

Ozeane der Urzeit is a Screensaver featuring 24 creatures.

Die Bestie von Monte Bravo = The Beast of Hollow Mountain. Includes "The Beast of Slumber Mountain" as a bonus feature.
Die Reise zur geheimnisvollen Insel = The Lost Continent
Got both DVDs really cheap. As expected, both also have nothing to do with Jules Verne.

Doug Watson's ceratopsian figures for Safari Ltd have never disappointed, but this one tops the others in every respect. The level of accuracy in this figure is impressive - particularly the often-misandled anatomy of the manus. You can see that the digits are not only separated, but rotated outward in a neutral position, with the last two digits reduced and lacking nails, all of which is spot-on. Additionally, the fine scale details are based on ceratopsian skin impressions, with polygonal reticulae of varying sizes and, although my photos don't show it well, rectangular scutes on the ventral surface. The skin also features very convincing wrinkles and folds, something that was a little lacking in earlier Safari ceratopsians.
If I have any complaints at all, they are that the horns have been blunted for safety reasons (alas) and that the color scheme is splotchier and less nuanced than it appeared in the publicity stills.
