Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Silvanusaurus]

I've seen that megasaur T rex several times in the shops, it's never appealed to me... especially not in 'the flesh'. I think it's a big step down from the saurophaganax... to me it doesn't even have the 'charm' of some of their awful looking smaller figures. 

[Dilopho]

The Megasaur looks like a typical Megasaur, an overpriced Chinasaur.

I don't see how £1 is overpriced

[CityRaptor]

Wait £1? I still wouldn't buy it, but that is pretty cheap.

Did someone say "Dinosaur City"?

Oh, I remember seeing that movie. It's also pretty obvious which Turtles they are refering to...

[Digibasherx]

Yeah! Scrolling party again thanks to quoting whole posts with many, many pictures! I love it!

Thanks for fixing it, Digibasherx, no offence meant As someone who newly is around here quite often here again, I remembered how annoying this scrolling can become.

Sorry about that guys . Noted for future posts.

Well, here is my Kleinwelka Iguanodon ( which in a way manages to be rather elegant ). Also what may be a fitting Soundtrack for this forum...or a collection: THE DINOSAURS! by Peter Mellnick. To be honest, I don't know the series it is from, but it was cheap and I liked the samples on Amazon.


The Iguanodon from the other side, and the figures from the lot it came with. ( Do not expect to see those figures again when I post pics of my collection at one point )

That Kleinwelka is a really nice, classic Iguanodon. It was a good line.

Congratulations, its neat what gems can be found by scouring lots of toys. I should get back to looking through lots. I imagine you found that one at home in Germany.

A Kleinwelka! What a great find, congrats!

[Plasticbeast95]

Some baby Dinosaurs I got over the winter holiday:

[CityRaptor]

Cute.

Yep, found it in an lot on German eBay. The seller had another lot with a second Iguanodon ( as well as a second big "Dimetrodon" and Toy Story Rex ), but I missed bidding on it. ( I either thought that both ended at the same day but it actually ended 2 days earlier or the seller took it out earlier )
People not knowing what they have really pays off.

A Kleinwelka! What a great find, congrats!

Thanks.

In case you wonder, it is what the Review calls "Version 1", based on the text on the belly.

Here's my latest arrival, the huge 1/5 Deinonychus antirrhopus from Nicholas Fonseca, built and painted by Martin Garratt with inspiration from a painting by John Conway. There are more pictures in my collection thread!

[Lanthanotus]

Woah, impressive piece Patrx, ... what are it's measurements? Saw that apple pic, but the stance makes it hard to say.

[sauroid]

awesome figure Patrx. do you have more pics of it?

[Patrx]

Woah, impressive piece Patrx, ... what are it's measurements? Saw that apple pic, but the stance makes it hard to say.

I got out my tape measure today, and it looks like it's about six and a half inches wide, with the end of the tail about 20 inches off the ground, and about 24 inches total in length

awesome figure Patrx. do you have more pics of it?

Yes indeed, on page four of my collection thread!

[Libraraptor]

That Deinonychus: A feast for the eyes!!!

[Patrx]

That Deinonychus: A feast for the eyes!!!

Quite so! I find that it looks dynamic no matter the angle it's viewed from.

And now for something completely different:
The towering GoZyuJin, personal mecha of the brave and knowledgeable pirate, GokaiSilver!


"But wait," you say, "that's no dinosaur. Surely it belongs in the 'Recent Acquisitions: Other Toys and Figures' thread!"
You may be right! But, then again:


The rampaging GoZyuRex!

[CityRaptor]

Awaken in this sacred place
Send out a thunderous roar into the sky

With the light shinning through
a gap in the clouds
The legend leaps through
Time and space

In a faraway and distant place, within the eternal darkness
DRILL ATTACK!
In an instant the fossil changes
CRASHER
TIME HAS COME!
GoZyuRex

The rising power of the strong DINOSAUR
and the FINAL CHANGE
GoZyuJin kansei!
Now show us your power Gokai
GoZyuJin

Gazing at the far off distance
Kanjinagara
The three spirits will forever
Be linked for the future

These stars are set free, and attack
BEAM ATTACK!
Flying above, they are free!
BURN OUT

TIME CAN'T WAIT!
GoZyuRex
In this era is the strong DINOSAUR
begin the FINAL CHANGE
GoZyuJin kansei!
With his right hand Gokai
GoZyuJin

TIME CAN'T WAIT!
GoJyuRex
He creates a ferocious wind that
DRILL ATTACK!
wipes out all evil, bringing peace to all!
CRASHER

TIME HAS COME!
GoZyuRex
With the rising power of the strong DINOSAUR
Begin the FINAL CHANGE
GoZyuJin kansei!
Now show us your power Gokai
GoZyuJin

( The final Combo he is involved in really leaves out a lot of mecha...)

That is also an awesome Deinonychus.

[Patrx]

Hah, exactly! That's an excellent song. Generally, in the show, the transformation is shown from GoZyuRex into GoZyuJin, just like in the song, so I had to reverse the footage to make that gif  There is also the initial GoZyuDrill form, but it's not very interesting and I had enough pictures already.

[Dinomike]

Whoa Patrx! That is truly one impressive model! You are very lucky to own it!

[Roselaar]

Found these (minus the big Rex, which is added for scale) at my regular Collecta store:

Beishanlong, Lythronax and Metriacanthosaurus ought to arrive soon as well.
