Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Everything_Dinosaur]

Glad you like the replicas.

You hit the nail on the head, the personality the Chiodos infuse their work with makes me love them. There also a great childhood connection for me as I grew up watching the dinosaur shows with Gary and Eric on Disney..which the Chiodos did a lot of work for.  They also handled the 90's Land of the Lost series featuring some great stop motion dinos.

Check out this music video they did featuring a dinosaur band!

Wow, that must have cost a pretty penny, congratulations. Have you seen "the making of video" about have way through at 7:18 they talk to the Chiodos about the figures they sculpted and animated?

I think I lucked out at 130.00 for it...especially considering what Monsters in Motion wants for one.

Yeah Charlie posted it on his facebook page..I'd love to have had those original pieces..or even figures of them. yeah I'm odd.. lol   The whole premise of the video reminds me of the Casual Rex series of books. Those were a riot.

I just got the Battat Pachyrhinosaurus and I absolutely love it, it is an amazing figure of one of my favorite ceratopsians . However, I do have one question, it didn't come with a plastic stand like the Cryolophosaurus did so I would like to know: do the Pachyhrinosaurus' legs warp over time like I've heard that some of the other Battats do?

I got mine back in August and the legs are still perfectly fine,so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Okay, that's good. Thanks !

Wow, congrats, man! Love hearing success stories like this! I think I remember seeing the original video too when it first came out, but I don't remember the "Making Of.." -- very cool. Gotta love the '80s!

And congrats to all for some really fantastic acquisitions!

[Jetoar]

Felicidades.
Me gustan los huevos de dragón y el parasaurolophus café.
Así que hablas español. ¿De que se trata "El Clan"? No lo había escuchado.

Congratulations.
I like the dragon eggs and the brown parasaurolophus
So you speak spanish. What is "El Clan" about? I've never hear of it.

Thanks bud! I grew up in the 80's (born 82') ..I never knew til a few years ago how much the Chiodo's were a part of it. They were in EVERYTHING! lol

[Fofer]

Good Jetoar! good acquisitions.

Anda Megalosaurus ya somos tres jeje.

My last acquistions of a flea market.

Your flea market hauls are always awesome! Congrats!

[Fofer]

Good acquisitions today!

[Dinosaurana]

Nice finds Fofer! I have the English version of your book, and it's one of my more helpful identification guides.

[Fofer]

Thx Dino Master! is very cool book but as a spaniard miss the concavenator jeje

I know. Shame that the find came shortly after the book had been published, or it would have fit in quite nicely. Still, it's quite expansive and has taught me more on extinct mammals than I really knew before.

[Uroplatus]

For once, i was very happy when the mailman woke me up this morning...

[triceratops83]

Whoa! Where'd you get the Tarbosaurus? This has given me hope that I might yet get the Saurolophus.

[Doug Watson]

I think I lucked out at 130.00 for it...especially considering what Monsters in Motion wants for one.

Wow! That's way less than I would have guessed was it properly identified? I would have guessed around $500.00.
I just lucked out on something that I have seen go for well over $200.00, I got it for about half of that. I hope you weren't bidding on it too since I know you are looking for these. I actually got 2 fifths of the set in two auctions. I thought I might really steal the big item since it was only listed as a Vintage 1960's era Brontosaurus Dinosaur Model Kit and left off the key identifier (any guesses). Unfortunately at least two other bidders seemed to know what it was. I haven't got it yet but I'll share it here when I get it (I hope).

[Ikessauro]

This week I got these so far. TLW Pachy, always wanted one, and Ademar Pereira do Nascimento's Neovenator resin model, sculpted, built and painted by Ademar himself.

[Patrx]

That Neovenator is beautiful! Does Mr. Nascimento sell his models online somewhere? I'm frequently impressed by his work.
