Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Halichoeres]

I got these Soft Model dinosaurs, the new ones, the ones I've been disdainful of.



I can never go back.


They are so beautiful!


In light of this, can someone give me a checklist of the OLD soft models and the new? I need to know what I have and what I do not. I have so many dinosaurs I can't keep track of them.

Old series:

New series:

They're also listed here, but only some have photos:

On the Dinosaur Collector website, the Stegosaurus is missing on the soft model series 1 page.  That website has so much information and images of figures that I've not seen anywhere else, but there's also figures missing here and there, and typos regularly...  On the toyanimal.info page, the series 1 Stegosaurus is there.

So, first Papo, then Jurassic World, then Hero Mashers, now Soft Models...

He'll be moving on to Schleich soon at this rate...

The Hero Mashers I acquired because I plan on kitbashing their joints to put on other figures.

I've always been a fan of soft models, but I liked the older ones better. The new ones are a lot nicer when you hold them up close. I'm still missing case B and C from the older soft models.


Thank you sharkperson for the links.


I've never not liked Schleich. Always been a hit of miss with them. I only have the better ones or if I come across them in the wild. Just different styles I guess.

Pictures coming soon.

Here are my latest additions.
Thanks to Brett tipping me off I was able to get my latest Holy Grail, the Kaiyodo Velociraptor. Paid way too much thanks to the eBay Global Shipping Program, but at least I finally scratched an itch that has been bugging me for years. I just noticed that the packaging says "Velociraptol"

I have finally completed my Lido (Nabisco) Prehistoric Mammals set thanks to two eBay wins. Thankfully these sellers didn't use the GSP. The camel was one of three Lido pieces that went on a cross continent trek that I have detailed in my "Adventures in shipping" thread. I had some of these as a kid back when they were new so they have finally come home to Daddy.

Doug I edited your post to include clickable pics as well as the actual images. they weren't displaying for me but on further inspection it looks like photobucket may be down.

[Viking Spawn]

I remember using Photobucket in the past and having bandwidth issues with their free accounts.  I'm not sure about newer modern accounts, but they now allow much more images where as before you peaked at 1000.

I prefer Picasa for hosting images. 

[PaleoMatt]

I host images at deviantart.

[Viking Spawn]

I host images at deviantart.

I hear that's another good choice.  What's their storage limit?

I prefer to keep my DA account for actual art work, not just pics.   I mostly use fb for images now.

I use dropbox and picassa (that one mostly has older photos) and they both work fine. I just have to make tiny tweaks to the links.

I think Photobucket must have been down when you looked because all my old images that are also on Photobucket are still visible as these are as well.

Indeed, DeviantART is not an image hosting site.

[stargatedalek]

I've never liked using social media, so Facebook and what not are out of the question for me. I always use DeviantArt because unlike Photobucket/Imgur they don't have upload limits or those horrible redirecting URLS to make you look at their adds. DA technically has no limit unless you sue the sta.sh (private) uploader.

There is however a category for photos of figures:
http://www.deviantart.com/browse/all/photography/still/figures/
Although I think it should be used for collections rather than hauls.

Speaking of hauls:

Inspired by a certain thread I got myself some Turok - Son of Stone ( not Dinosaur Hunter ) comics. The first issue of the Dark Horse series, which also reprints the first issue of the original series and two Vailant comics which reprint some other stories and also classic covers inside. Also a Godzilla vs. Cthulhu print and a DVD of the first Gamera movie.  I wanted to post some recent aquired figures too, but they have not arrived, yet.

[MLMjp]

Nice artwork on those comics and poster, they look really cool But what are those things on the Tyrannosaurus snout? They look like holes.

My second (And probably last, unless I decide to focus on a JP dinos collection) Jurassic World acquisition. One of the best ones.



If you ask were I got it, Ebay.
If you ask about the price, it was good.
If we talk about shipping cost, well, They doubled the price    ::)But still, better than the rest of the offers I have seen. This figure in the future will be extremely expensive.

Anyway, I like it . It has already found a delicious snack to eat

I would get that figure if I could find it. Not because it's great, but it's pretty good. I know my kids would like it (but then, my daughter's favorite marine reptile figure is the CollectA Pliosaur, so we have better ones....)

[JurassicGeek09]

After about a year of hemming and hawing, I bought the Papo Allosaurus. I avoided it for the longest time because I didn't care for what I feel is a hyper-stylized head (rage-filled expression, as I call it) but the more I looked at it, the less it bothered me now to the point where I don't notice it anymore. I just wish it didn't have pronated wrists. Other than that, it's a spectacular figure.

It must have been. No worries, as you said all seems good now.
