Halichoeres

Thanks for the information, everyone! And for the pic, Robin.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Sometimes I draw pictures


Shonisaurus

So I see the prehistoric mammals GeoWorld of considerable size.

Although I guess unfortunately be a brittle material and bad as Collecta Paraceratherium of plastic.

I have the Amargasaurus, carnotaurus and Microraptor of this factory and the material is quite rigid.

Yes, you are right.
Usually the models with a base (like the Hipparion) are made of a more rigid plastic material than the models without a base.
The Geoworld mammals line is definitively better than the dinosaurs line.
The Embolotherium is a very good figure.
Although its static pose, the sculpt and paint job is awesome ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/16217246557/in/album-72157650140713189/ ).
The same for the Megaloceros ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/16215522278/in/album-72157650140713189/ ).
The Procoptodon is quite cartoonish ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/16401407711/in/album-72157650140713189/ ).
The Eobasileus is better on naked eyes than the picture ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/16403164895/in/album-72157650140713189/ ).
The ancient cats are decent figures.
I don't like the Doedicurus so much....

Except for some models, the Geoworld Dino Line is quite bad.
In my opinion the Troodon is an awesome figure ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/16298344379/in/album-72157650140713189/ ).
Same as the Guanlong ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/16297178740/in/album-72157650140713189/ ).
The Coelophysis has a good sculpt but a terrible paint job ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/15780686634/in/album-72157650140713189/ ).
The others model's range goes from decent ( Falcarius, Caudipteryx) to ugly.....

Raptoress

I had the most amazing dinosaur model haul today. All bought at a car boot sale in Swansea. The Invicta Tyrannosaurus, Invicta painted Cetiosaurus, Megalosaurus and Iguanodon, Carnegie Stegosaurus, Allosaurus and Corythosaurus, WWD Utahraptor and the Jurassic Park: The Lost World Pachycephalosaurus. But the real prize was...

The Invicta Lambeosaurus. Bought for 50p. Each dinosaur was 50p each. I thought I was in a dream when I found it, lol.






Invicta Hunter

You had some great buys there. The Lambeo and painted Iguanodon are some of the rarest Invicta figures and you got them for 50p each, very nice  :). Im off to a car boot sale tomorrow, fingers crossed i have some good finds as well but i dont think anything i'll find will be as good as your dino haul.

Raptoress

Thank you. :) I had no idea the painted Iguanodon was that rare. I can't even find many images of it. Good luck tomorrow! Be sure to post if you find something good!

Roselaar

Excellent dino haul there! Gotta love such markets, you never know what treasures you might stumble upon.

Very nice. The closest I've ever come to finding something worthwhile at one of those sales was a chewed up three-legged Invicta Scelidosaurus.

Very nice! Congratulations!  :)

I'm particularly jealous of that painted Cetiosaurus!

[Off Nick and Eddie's reactions to the dinosaurs] Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.



{about the T-Rex) When he sees us with his kid isn't he gonna be like "you"!?

Good old Optimus Primal! That toy is almost 20 years old now, and it's still better than a lot of the Transformers being released today!

I am not a fan, but you can't argue with the price!  Love the pic, reminds me of a cat showing off its latest kill.

No wonder! He's a wonderfully sculpted critter! Mine has a habit of falling over though :D

That's just Prime!
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

So, when can we expect pics of him and Big Convoy riding your Dinosaurs?

Yes, Big Convoy and Optimus Primal riding together. If you have Magmatron you could probably also use his Magmasaur Mode.
