Daspletotyrannus


Just got this week. I can now say I own a Battat Triceratops and she a beauty.


Got them a while ago. My mini Styracosaurus now has a parent. I have the Terra line Carnotaurus so I will use the old Boston one as a male. Lol

I will still get the Triceratops and Styracosaurus in the Terra line if they ever release them.

Fabulous catches, Sauroid and Daspletotyrannus! :)

Congratulations!  I'm glad she found a good home.

My second PNSO haul came in today. Prices for the figures were great, but after shipping costs and import taxes added to the overall price, it wasn't as good of a deal as I had hoped... Nevertheless, these are some stunning figures! Shown with a miniature version of myself for scale.

sauroid, what a great and various haul!
Roselaar, great PNSO haul, sorry , maybe you had to answer that question before, but I´d like to know: How did you acquire that miniature version of yourself?!

I was scanned by a friend's equipment, who then had a 3D-model printed of the scan. That was fun. The result is very handy for pics like these.

And the colouring?

Daspletotyrannus


This just arrived today from Ebay new (took the tags off but kept them with my others).  Man in had it is a beautiful Arsinoitherium. Thanks to DeJankins I have the Andrewsarchus in the mail.  So now all I need now is the Smilodon cub.  I hope Safari Ltd re-release those three so people who didn't get them can.

Sandstone printers can print in colour.

Great figures Roselaar, Sauroid and Daspletotyrannus! And that's a very sweet story BlueKrono  ;)


Daspletotyrannus



Got this from DeJankins.  It was new too. It a very lovely Andrewsarchus.  Now all I need is the Smilodon cub. I hope it gets a re release soon. I will be using DeJankins again.  Great guy. Lol

I'm puzzled as to why Safari hasn't released the remaining three prehistoric mammals yet. I have no interest in the Andrewsarchus or the Arsinoitherium, but I would like that Smilodon cub.

Maybe next year.  I think the big question is did they ever release the Smilodon cub.  I've never seen it on ebay or in stores. The Smilodon cub must be like Bigfoot or Nessie.  A Myth. Lol

I like the little series of prehistoric mammals by Safari, they have an interesting characterization.

Loon

Yesterday, I received an interesting addition to my collection. My first custom plush dinosaur, this T.rex.

My girlfriend gave it to me as a late Valentine's Day gift; she decided to feather it, knowing how much of a stickler for feathered dinosaurs I am. I'm fine with the awkward stance, color, and basically everything about it being inaccurate; it has a certain charm and care that none of the other toys I own posses.

As a side note, she made me name it; I dubbed it "Carrie," after the late-great Carrie Fisher.

The Atroxious

It kind of reminds me of an old lady in a patchwork coat for some reason. In this case, instead of the old lady feeding pigeons, the dinosaur looks like she's sitting there waiting to feed little Cretaceous mammals.
