Picked up this guy today, didn't intend on getting it when it was first released a few years ago. But I saw one as I was looking at the shelf and said why not.

Hah that's a cool one man 8)
A passed away good friend of mine and a crew member of my Dino community from FB, Info & Collections of Dinosaurs & Minerals; made that one
He goes as "Dan LoRusso"  some of you may remember who I mean, that Steg may be inaccurate but it's sculpted by someone special, Dan himself.

Main sculptor & designer of the Battat series of dinosaurs for the Boston Museum if memory serves correctly :) Give this Steg a good place man 8)

Yep, was sad that we lost such a great paleoartist/sculptor. Like I said, I originally didn't intend on getting one because it was inaccurate, but when I saw it on the shelf today I decided to get it to complete the Battat Terra part of my collection, and I decided to complete my BT collection in memory of Dan.

Decided to try and finish off the rest of the safaris for this year, also added some others for that sexy one-day shipping. Some really nice surprises here; the brontotherium(megacerops) from mojo is actually quite nice and started my new prehistoric mammal kick, which lead to the ambelodon, and some eyeing of the other mojo mammals. Another surprise was the sheer size of the kronosaurus, it's huge, and really nice; again, this may lead to a marine reptile addiction.

I got the 3 biggest safaris, and I'll get the rest for my birthday. My parents are generous indeed.

You picked some really cool figures.

When I was little my parents would give me 10 cents a day. So I bought a new figure about every 4 months. It felt kind of slow but it helped me to appreciate each figure more. But now I just get them in batches of 10 to 15. ;D

"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

CrypticPrism

A new addition to the list is the Kaiyodo soft model allosaurus, recommended by Lanathotus as a mate to my papo allosaurus.

God I love being an adult. Basically like Christmas every week.

Received this beauty the other day, thanks to Lanthanotus, a large Microceratus made of... paper! And still looking darn realistic! :)

That's a pretty cool figure!

if only some companies would make cool plastic figures like that.

I have the Microceratops/Microceratus/Graciliceratops too but I need to find the time to build it from the original paper project by Johan Scherft ..  :-\
Really a good figure to be just a paper model.

There's a certain company out of China that makes large, detailed, hollow models of relatively obscure dinosaurs.

Brontozaurus

Got the WS feathered Velociraptor and the prehistoric crocs toob a few weeks ago from minizoo. Heard the toob was possibly retired this year so I finally got around to picking it up.

There's a bookshop in my city that used to be where I got my CollectAs from, until they stopped getting new stock in last year. Gave up on them, but just last week I discovered that they'd done a massive restock of all the more recent models. Today, being pay week, I picked up the Regaliceratops and Struthiomimus. They're neat. I feel like the Struthiomimus could be more interesting but I'm just happy we've got new ornithomimid toys.

It seems post services handled it roughly, got one or two dents where they shouldn't be... but it's nice to see it in its new home anyway :)

I just received these nice buddies. Sorry for the bad quality, but I think all of you know those critters :)

Those are so good, all of them, but the Irritator looks specially amazing!

Looks good enough for me. I'll leave the dents, I fear I would only make things worse with those huge, rough hands of mine. :)

I don't recognize those lovely critters actually. Are they Shapeways?
