Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[SBell]

Lovely new additions everyone!
For me, picked up these hopeless Geoworld figures during a road trip 
Ugly,ya? LOL!
Cheers!

Me, I like the stands better than the models!

[Raptoress]

New bed sheets, lol.

[Libraraptor]

Hopefully you don´t get nightmares of raptors entering your sleeping room

[Raptoress]

My mum told me that I once had a nightmare as a child about me going up to a T. rex to hug it, only for it to eat me, LOL. xD

[Tyto_Theropod]

Haha gotta love the weird dreams you have! I can still remember having a nightmare when I was about three where I was at the supermarket and suddenly this bright yellow shark burst through the wall and ate me. I'm glad to say it didn't put me off sharks, which get enough of a bad rap as it is. So yeah, I know what it feels like to be eaten in your sleep...

[joossa]

Got this in the mail today. Ended up working well and I have the Rex on top of my dresser without fear of it falling off.

[Shadowknight1]

joossa, I have the distinct impression that Empoleon is your favorite Pokemon.

So I just received my first commissioned fish models, sculpted by DTF member brandem--casts of which will be available in my store as soon as some adjustments are made!



They are a West African Lungfish, an African Freshwater Butterflyfish, and a Cuvier's Bichir

(Or, Protopterus, Pantodon, Polypterus), all from Africa...! It just kind of worked out as 3 Ps from Africa...

I also just received some new CollectA animals:

Black tip Reef Shark & Open-jaw Great White Shark


Leaping Nile Crocodile and Deluxe Spinosaurus!


Those are all available in the store.

During my time at the local anime convention over the weekend, I happened upon this little gem, most unexpectedly:

Didn't expect her to be into Anime. Thought she was more of a Toku Fan.

That would seem more appropriate, no? But, it's a con for all sorts, there was some toku stuff in there; though not as much as I'd have liked.

NOW THAT´S a good picture of the deluxe Spinosaurus
The other pictures I have seen don't do justice to the figure´s beauty.

I can´t wait to get him! Just need to save a bit more of money...

I ordered my Spino from Dan....does anyone have an idea when the figure is out in the States? I live in England but I'll have to wait until Dan gets it.

To make sure that no one disturbs his meal, the King has hired an old man with a sniper rifle.

So it is more like a mixed bag. Sounds like my local comic store, where The Walking Dead are right next to My little Pony.

[Shonisaurus]

The Spinosaurus Collecta sure is better to see it physically have it in photography. Fortunate to have it.

Seems you'll have to wait til the spring of 2016.

[Dinomike]

The Spino looks great! Just ordered mine from Everything Dinosaur. Great new dinos everyone!

[LophoLeeVT]

Thanks. It's really all about the lungfish

Not sure what the delay is in the US--I was able to get the Deluxe into the store at least.

But not many...they didn't get a lot, I brought in what I could.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

According to DeJankin's Blog, CollectA's last report to him was...

Concerning CollectA's Deluxe feathered Tyrannosaurus, the Deluxe Spinosaurus, walking and swimming versions of the standard sized Spinosaurus, and the two Mini Dinosaur collections - These new items will be arriving November 31st for release in December.

That was last month. Maybe things might change.... again.


BTW, nice pics Sean! And congrats on the commissioned fish models. They look really good, especially with that high gloss finish. Curious to see them after some adjustments are made. But so far, really nice!

[docronnie]

Congrats everyone on your beautiful hauls! 

Gifts from my Uncle Bob and brother Rommel:


extra Dacentrurus, will sell most probably; permission from Uncle Bob was already solicited, since the first one was also his gift.











TFL!

You're wrong. I heard from Dan it's due to be released very, very soon. Here's what he said:

Typically the CollectA models take just a few weeks to reach the US distributor once they start turning up in European stores. I actually just spoke with the company yesterday, and they confirmed the Spinosaurus models should be here quite soon.
