Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[tyrantqueen]

I decided to buy the Kinto Favorite Iguanodon resin, because it one of the few quadruped depictions of Iguanodon, and also because of another reason
The front feet in particular are well sculpted. The only thing I think could be improved is the tail thickness





This is the other reason XD It goes really well with the two Oldies (also made by Favorite) as the third and final interpretation in the line. Here it is meeting its Oldie cousins

I have that stegosaur, it reminds me of a sock puppet.

Yes  . It only needs the hole  .

Recieved my mastodonsaurus and papo baby rex in the mail today - both are fantastic! If anybody is on the fence about either of these, go for them. The baby rex is the cutest little $%(&$ ever, and the mastodonsaurus is just full of awesomeness. I might even get a second one. Or third  Now, if only schleich will follow in the steps of bullyland and release all their old, good figures (not that I don't have them already - but I really want other people to actually own schleich figures they like!  ).

Now to get the papo running rex and the bully deinotherium!

After a long time without new acquisitions I got the Brown Papo Running T.rex today in the mail.

Who is carrying the brown version? I wouldn't mind getting one.

Master mind toys in Canada.

Plus any retailer in France.

I would die for a chance to get my hands on one of those

Mine came from France
I asked Christophe to get me one. Finally is arrived, after months of delay, because it got kinda lost in the mail. I bought it last year and only got it about 7 months later! The wait was worth it.

What is the story behind the brown version?

What is the story behind the brown version?

I don't think there's much of a story behind it. Maybe you remember that it was the first version of the rex to show up. A canadian member in here found it on a store and bought it, then posted the pics. We all tought it would be the standard color for the new rex. Then someone in France, I think it was Christophe himself, bought one too in a local shop. Sometime later a friend of mine told me that the new running rex was going to be green and the old one was to be repainted. She heard it from a seller from who she buys dinos to resell here in Brazil. By the way I think that was the first time we heard abot the brachio too, I remember posting the news in here, which back then were in rumor status.

Someone found a Canadian website, the one mentioned above, but I don't remember why people didn't buy it. I guess they didn't ship worldwide. Soon after the green one being confirmed the news among sellers was that is was a exclusive variation for Europe and Canada; Then everyone got the green one, I don't know why no one from the forum tried to get this. If one did, forgot to or didn't wanna tell us. I tought it being a exclusive could soon become rare and expensive, so I managed to grab one as soon as I could. That's all I know about the brown version, if someone else knows more, please tell me too. Maybe in the future Papo will release it worldwide, who knows.

I didnt buy from the canadian website because I didnt know it existed. I cant find the running rex listed there.

My Kaiyodo Allos came in today !






I think I prefer the yellow/brown over the green but they kinda look like a male/female pair.. lol

[sauroid]

wow Blade they are awesome. what are they made of?

[tanystropheus]

I like these Kaiyodo Allosaurus---what scale? 1/40?

[Seijun]

Which color do you prefer between the two allos?

I can see the Brown Running T-rex increasing in value, although I can also envision a scenario where Papo releases the Brown Running T-rex "officially" (worldwide) in 2013 or 2014 (2014 if Papo chooses to retire the Green Running T-rex). Keep in mind that the Green  Running T-rex has been selling out within 24 hours of any retailer receiving them. It is still selling out at a brisk pace with sales that will  most probably reach a plateau (essentially stabilizing, sales meeting demand) by August or September. If a Brown Running T-rex is advertised, it will probably sell out within a half hour, although it is also price dependent.

...I wonder if Papo is planning on releasing a new sculpt of the Spinosaurus....

[tanystropheus]

Which color do you prefer between the two allos?

I think the yellow-brown Allosaurus appears a bit more distinctive, but they look really nice as a pair.

[sauroid]

i just hope that the dino figure collecting scene does not get contaminated by toy prospectors/businessmen who manipulate the value of a toy in the market.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I like these Kaiyodo Allosaurus---what scale? 1/40?

I think they are 1/24...really it's almost 1/15 ..maybe 1/20 in my opinion.

wow Blade they are awesome. what are they made of?

Which color do you prefer between the two allos?

As   I mentioned at the end of my post  I do prefer the brown/yellow one more..but they work really well as a pair.  As Tanystropheus also noted.

I'll get more pics tomorrow of them..hopefully outdoors.

Just found a loose Playmobil Pteranodon for 50 cts at a recycle store.

[Paleona]

Wait... what's that lurking in the trees... could it be???



Yes, it is!  Chinasaurus Rex!





I was at Target this afternoon, and couldn't pass up this happy little Tyrannosaurus.  He was sitting in a bargain bin with a rather frightening "Velociraptor" and a rather dull looking Stegosaurus.  He's made out of a softer plastic and was very cheap.  With a little help you can get him to stand on two feet- he has a tendency to tip back onto his tail to rest, though.  Not exactly high quality by any means, but I rather like him.  (foliage not included)
