I thought they looked like Kayakasaurus's models. I didn't know he was selling them. Are you going to try painting them?

Also, my grandparents on my mums side are getting me the collectA diplodocus, CollectA juvenile T. rex, safari ltd feathered velociraptor(so I can have a mated pair), and the collectA mosasaurus.


My grandmother on my dad'a side is getting me a bunch of Pokémon figurines from tomy. They're chameleon, ivysaur, wartortle, Kyogre, Groudon, mega charizard X, greninja, and ash and pikachu, for those of you wanting to know.

If you want to know how I know this, it's because my mom's parents always ask what I want, and my dad's mom asked me like, 3 months ago. They're probably already there.


Also, funny story. When I was 11, I got the last collecta deluxe feathered t-rex off of amazon. It came, and I had it intact for a day. Me being me, I fooled with the base, and the glue holding the two parts of the right leg together stopped working. One easy thing to do was just use glue to fix it. For some reason, my parents said they would get me a new one. I never got it. But now their promise will be used.

The reason there are so many CollectAs is because right now I only have a daxiatitan and a quetzalcoatlus.

Collecta is hard to keep up with.

So you can understand why Marx is still my favorite company even after all these decades.  ;)

Great Stegos!the Chungkingosaurus is a beauty!

It's gorgeous. The only other PNSO model that is just as good is the Amarga...

For many I suspect it would be, but for me it's not. I really became big into Marx just a few years ago, well into my adulthood, but it's become sort of an obsession. The elegant, play-friendly sculpts and the rich, enigmatic history of the company captivate me.

Woah, those are some big Marx. Retrotastic!
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

They are large, but they're not solid. These fragile hollow toys are rarely found in one piece. I have fragments from all three, but no complete one yet.

Sadly true. I was surprised both of these were free of damage , aside from it looks like one had a crayon or paint applied at one point then was cleaned but not well. I'm afraid to try anything myself so will leave as is.  If you flip through completed auctions on ebay there are very rarely any of them that don't have cracks or breaks.  I guess hollow was cheaper to produce and ship ...but man solid ones in a big line would have been epic!  like the U.S. Invicta  lol

Congratulations Chris, that stegosaurus is in better shape than mine was when I got it. Good luck with the T rex.
