Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Mr. Challenger]

I'm so happy today! It´s impossible to find Safari and Carnegie figures in my town, but finally this guys are mine
Really wonderful figures, and bigger than I expected!



And these are the last Collecta figures I bought. The xenoceratops is stunning, but I repainted the red details of the head.

[Dinomike]

Nice ones Mr. Challenger! I really like the Caudipteryx!

[Dinomike]

I am not a big fan of Invicta dinosaurs.
But recently I found an original boxset on Ebay (from UK ).
It is a special edition with Lambeosaurus. 
How can I resist?   
The seller sent me also the missing Plesiosaurus 

Here it is:
...

..See you soon...

[Patrx]

Whoah, the Favorite Allosaurus can stand on its own without a base? With normal-sized feet?

[Concavenator]

The Safari Yutyrannus does as well.

[docronnie]

Excellent finds! Congrats Sauroid! 

My Favorite Allosaurus could not stand well.  I have been hunting for its base lately, no luck so far.  I think Boki was also able to make his stand without the base.

[Bokisaurus]

Great new addition everyone!
I was able to pick up the JP mosasaur, the only figure from that line that I really like. It's a nice model and I actually like it a lot. Also got the CollectA nile crocodile, really nice figure with articulated jaw. In addition, also got the CollectA babirusa figure

I have to say again, Hasbro really would have been wiser had they made more than one Mosasaur toy.

[Jetoar]

Lovely new acquisitions  .

[Roselaar]

Lovely Mosasaur! One of the few figures Hasbro did not wholly screw up.

There's reports of Mosasaurs being spotted in Dutch stores at last. Hopefully I'll be able to get one soon.

[Paleona]

Lovely Mosasaur! One of the few figures Hasbro did not wholly screw up.

But, I still see at least 5 screw holes there...    lol, I couldn't resist.

Wow, I really made that joke easy for you, didn't I?

Not even your lovely pictures can make me un-hate the Mosasaur. If anything my first and only youtube video (before I get my lightbox and lanterns) is about the Mosasurus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-BCrcdDyt0

My review sayeth "eh eh", but after having to deal with this toy for a while, I'm deathly afraid of breaking it. The design is perfid at most. This was the one figure I wanted the most ever since I heard Mosasaurus was going to be on the film. Ummm... I don't hate it, it's just not great (unless in your pictures of course).

Ichthostega sp. (Kaiyodo) nearly 3 inches or 7.5 cm.

Kaiyodo has finally issued a figure of Ichthyostega. It's a beauty. It is part of a set of 5 called the Great Leap Forward museum exhibition, posted by brettnj. It is sold on eBay as Leaps in Evolution.

Each limb is sculpted to end with 6 digits. Fossils are lacking for the fingers, but the hind limb had 4 stout toes preceded by two small toes and one that is tiny for a total count of 7. The representation by this sculptor is an accurate compromise.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Nice to see some good pics of the Mosasaurus, Boki! Do you happen to know what scale your little diver is? He looks pretty good next to him.

And thanks for the great closeup pic of the Kaiyodo Ichthyostega, Stemturtle. He's a handsome little devil!

[Arul]

Thanks for the pic Boki congrats for the mosasaurus, i really want that toy but here in indonesia its very difficult to get it...and hey, Babirusa is an endemic animal from my country what a weirddd animal right  in indonesian, babirusa consist from 2 words babi and rusa. Babi means pig rusa means deer 

[Halichoeres]

That babirusa looks pretty great.

So does the Ichthyostega, thanks, stem-turtle. Big improvement, toe-wise, from the Dino Horizons Ichthyostega. I agree that having six visible digits makes good sense for animals that probably exhibited some syndactyly.

[sauroid]

i wonder if the new Ichthyostega is the same size as the old Dino Tales one. would be nice to see a side by side photo

The Dinotales Acanthostega is about 8cm long, so very similar. I don't have the new one yet, so someone else will have to post a comparison shot.
