Halichoeres

Somebody offered me this in a trade and I couldn't resist, even though I keep telling myself I don't collect resins.


FaunaCasts Tyrannosaurus (version 1) by Malcolm Mlodoch, signed on the base in Sharpie by the sculptor.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Here's my first batch of 2017 Collectasaurs:



Tylosaurus

Lovely additions everyone keep em coming, none from me yet, gotta wait a tad hehe :)

Neosodon

Got the original walking with dinosaurs on dvd for $5 with free shipping. :) Unfortunately there was a scratch on the disc right during my favorite scene were the baby diplodacus hatch. :'(

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD

It's a shame the disc was scratched specially in your favorite sequence. My favorite scene is from the same episode, but it's the ending scene, I love the music in that one.

Yeah, that song was the highlight of the soundtrack. The music through the whole series was good though. Especially in giant of the skies - so beautiful and sad. Fit the episode perfectly.

LOL instant Ramen or HB eggs aint that expensive so you'd survive
(i know youre just exaggerating tho)
"you know you have a lot of prehistoric figures if you have at least twenty items per page of the prehistoric/dinosaur section on ebay." - anon.

Lanthanotus

Well, you won't starve within a month, just watch your hydration and elektrolytes (sorry, had to kick in here :P)

Here are some of my latest acquisitions... still waiting for the new CollectA models becoming available here.

wanted to get the I-Toy for some time and it was N01 on my birthday wishlist, but eventually had to buy it myself :D ... and also could add the Kaiyodo Ceratosaurus, found it comparably cheap on ebay by chance. The Papo Ceratosaurus is on its way to complete the family.


The new Safari's I was most excited for, though, not wasn't that excited for the Psittacosaurus to be honest. Added it to have a basal ceratopsian in my collection but I have to say it's an astonishing model, head too narrow I think, but the best of Doug's models this year in my opinion. Schleich's Stegosaurus isn't on the picture, but had to add it, it's a nice model and outstanding within Schleich's otherwise horrendous dino assortment. As you may notice, some are already customized.

Halichoeres

I was wondering how the Archaeopteryx would be packaged. Glad to see new dinosaur sculpts for the main Favorite line, it had been a few years.
