Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Archinto]

Wow that diorama model is amazing! What talent that dudes got! Makes me want to start repainting dinosaurs again and doing some ooak pieces. Maybe this'll inspire me to do a dinotopia scene!

[Tyto_Theropod]

So, I finally got round to taking some pictures of this year's Christmas haul!



L-R: Wild Safari Archaeopteryx, Wild Safari coelacanth (most likely Latimeria chalumnia), Wild Safari Nasutoceratops, Wild Safari Yutyrannus, Wild Safari Pachyrhinosaurus, CollectA Kentrosaurus, CollectA standard size Spinosaurus pair. Someone likes their Wild Safari a little much... Though honestly I have mixed feelings at the very least about many of the other companies ATM. Most of these will end up repainted, with the exceptions of the Archaeopteryx, coelacanth and Pachyrhinosaurus. I like the colours on the Yutyrannus, but the paint app is terrible, with bald spots everywhere. Overall, though, I'm very pleased. Archaeopteryx is my favourite. His name is Archimedes (spot the reference... )

I'll post more pictures on my collection thread, but I didn't want to image span here.

I really like the Kinto Stegosaurus!  Gandalf's pretty cool too!

Just got in a nice group of early 90's large dinosaurs off eBay and they are at the post office! Loo the anticipation..... I forget what line they were from but they are truly wild looking and I have fond memories of them and remember how badly I wanted them as a kid! Great colors. I'll post em up tomorrow when I get em! I've got a T. Rex from the same line but can't find the darn thing.

My package from Minizoo finally arrived! Expect to see reviews of the Ankylosaurus, the Mapusaurus, and the Toob in the coming weeks!

Have you ever thought about a size comparison between a T-Rex and a Great Blue Whale?

Here it is: a real beauty

Kaiyodo Megasofubi Advance Blue Whale ( 1:35 ) + Rebor Rex ( also 1:35 )

Kaiyodo blue whale is really impressive 
That's an outstanding piece in your collection.

[CityRaptor]

One can say that there is always a bigger fish.

[Dilopho]

Uhhh....blue whale is not a fish!
And in this case, there really isn't a bigger fish!

[CityRaptor]

I wasn't being literal.

[Roselaar]

Fabulous whale! And in scale with the Rex as well, whaddayaknow!

[Halichoeres]

Just in from France:



Unfortunately, they were incautiously packaged, so six or seven had pieces break off in transit. Thankfully, none of the dozen or so figures I was after was damaged. Anybody have recommendations for a glue that will hold this brittle old plastic without damaging it?

[Shonisaurus]

Resistant adhesives are sticking dentures have to be very careful with them because we have to prevent you from sticking in hand as you well know. But yes they are very effective, to me have been broken by falling endless prehistoric animals and definitely have stuck with these adhesives.

Moreover part are very good also the ultra-resistant adhesives for bonding metals, glasses can also be applied to plastic and resin figures.

[stargatedalek]

I typically just use basic superglue. The bonds aren't as strong as something like plastic cement or adhesive but it works well on almost any plastic and with minimal risk of damaging the plastic itself. At worst you get an ugly crust of glue stuck to your figure if you over-apply.

[Roselaar]

Wow, that's a big lot of Starlux! Must have cost you a fair bit, but it definitely seems worth it, I spot some lovely critters!

Yujin Spinosaurus, Triceratops, Therizinosaurus, Kentrosaurus
Bandai Ultimate Monsters Godzilla 2002 Injured Version


Undersea Dinosaur Action Set

Really misleading name since it features sealife from the Ordovician till the Eocene and the only Dinosaurs featured are a pair of Hesperornis ( while the instruction use the word Dinosaur for the animals the actual info text about them never call any of them one expect Herperornis, which is however only refered to as a bird ) As with other books of that type, the more interesting part is ofccourse the diorama that comes with it.
