I see you have planzzz!

What is with those Jurassic Hunters? Are they some kind of magazine variants?

Thanks City Raptor. It is one of my favorite characters of the show. About Geoworld, These are differents because they have 5 files into the bag of the figure and other figures of the collections, The price is cheaper than usual Geoworld (5 euros) figures and they can be purchased in kioscos or book shops and finally, I think the same that you about Jurassic World.

Two Waspinators?  Megatron would have a migraine for days!  I met Waspinator's voice actor, he was a pretty cool guy, signed my copy of Season 1 of Beast Wars.

Congratulations on that T rex, it looks great in white, are you going to paint it? Can I ask where you got it, Japan?

Kaiyodo dino land smaller white T. rex

Congrats, sauroid! That's a rare one. One of the most beautiful Tyrannosaurus figures that has ever been released in my opinion .
I won't get mine painted. I absolutely love its creamy monochrome look.
BTW.: This is its original package:

I received the Sideshow T-Rex with prey statue today! It is so awesome, I love it!!!

[joossa]

Oh, it's huge. Nice to see it along a real person for once for a scale reference.
Thanks for sharing. Looks like it has found a nice home on your shelf.

[Dyscrasia]

Received these today... (still waiting for "Jolly" though as it is currently stuck in the customs office  )


and this last week.   

[Cammy]

Here's my latest dinosaur haul, including some Jurassic World action figures, WWD3D action figures and mystery figure eggs, a big, new dinosaur book, a Dinosaur Action magazine pack which includes posters, a skeleton, a claw and a mystery figure. I also got some food which has dinosaurs on the packaging so I included those in the photo.

[suspsy]

My latest haul, courtesy of Toy and Hobby Central. Gotta say, these Wild Safaris are great!

[laticauda]

Nice hull everyone.  The Rebor looks nice and I am almost convinced to pay the price to pick one up.  The sideshow T-rex is certainly a eye catcher due to its size.

Cammy, I see that after you read Suspsy and my JW reviews, you ran out and picked up the ones we reviewed.    Also, I like the packaging on those Vanilla Crunch Rice bars, makes me wonder why they put the stegosaurus on there.  Nice Safari's Suspsy!

Wow that trex is from schleich ? What is "vintage" means ? Hehehe

Schleich introduced this T Rex in 2007.
From the Everything Dinosaur Blog:  "  The kangaroo posture for the T. rex (tail on the ground) was introduced for this model to mark the 100th anniversary of the naming and describing of this huge carnivorous reptile.  The model pays homage to the early interpretations by Brown and the famous illustrators such as Knight and Zallinger who helped popularise dinosaurs with their wonderful artwork which adorned many children's books. "

So that T-Rex was deliberately retro? I didn't know that, I just thought Schleich screwed up as they often do.

"

Really? That seems more like a post hoc justification for what was, at the time, an already incredibly out of date depiction of T.rex. I remember seeing them in stores when they first came out, and they were pretty loud about their Humboldt-University museum connection, but nothing about intentional retro-styling. Plus Tyrannosaurus as a genus was named by Osborn in 1905, and this figure came out in 1994(!) so this makes the historical nature equally unlikely (in 1892 or so, Manospondylus was described, but I doubt Schleich was going for that).

[CityRaptor]

Actually this figure was introduced in 2007 as a replacement for the 1994 figure...so much for the often praised Schleich accuracy. ( By people who are not interested in accurate Dinosaurs ).
In my honest opinion, I wouldn't believe everything that Everything Dinosaur writes. They want to sell the stuff they write about, after all.
And it would not even make a  good Retrosaur.
