Well, CrypticPrism - what really sucks is your signature!
We have quite some German members here and I'm not sure what you want to tell us with this stupid and immature signature .

I think the implication is that it's a reflection on the current situation in America?

[CrypticPrism]

No, actually I'M part German and born on April 19th. I'm talking about my personal experiences there. And why couldn't have you PMed me about it? It would've resolved the situation much more quickly and made it less derailing. And how in what way is it stupid and immature? Making a joke about your personal experiences isn't stupid in any way.

And there. I've changed it so it isn't perceived as directed towards anyone but myself.

Now can we please get back on topic?

A big thanks to ZoPteryx, I finally was able to acquire the original brown Papo Velociraptor!!! Looks great next to my TLW:JP one (also, sorry about the flash, that area of my apt is dark)

Apparently my mother has gotten a huge package with "a raptor with no wings, and spindly legs", a "huge fish thingy", and "the tiniest thing I've ever seen." I guess that means the Safari Kronosaurus, CollectA juvenile T. Rex, and CollectA utahraptor are here? The sad thing is I won't get them until Sunday morning, and holiday eves are the only nights that my body decides not to sleep. And there's the fact that there's more in there she hasn't told me of. This is harrowing.

Wow didn't know that the JP one was that close looking like the Papo velociraptor ! I was like euh don't have that one in my papo collection...

The one on the left is the Papo Velociraptor, my amazing wife repainted it for me as a birthday present a few years back

[BlueKrono]

That's an excellent repaint job.

[Silvanusaurus]

I got my Papo Ceratosaurus from ED, but I saw the Polacanthus there too and at such a low price i couldnt resist adding a new Brit to my collection.
And not prehistoric, but still beautifully primordial; the Kaiyodo Sofubi Giant Salamander, which is now my new favourite figure of any animal ever, it's bigger than i imagined and just wonderful, well worth the travails of ordering from Japan! I adore those creatures, and having one with articulation is a fever dream to me. I'm so happy this exists.

[Jose S.M.]

Great figures! The salamander is very impressive.

[Roselaar]

That's a lovely salamander indeed! Wish Kaiyodo made more prehistorically themed figures like that. Then again, my wallet wishes something else...

[Lanthanotus]

I got the Kaiyodo Natural Monuments Giant Salamader last year, it's a very nice and lively figure but in "typical" Kaiyodo scale, so not a real giant. Your's is indeed a stunner and with articulated jaw, a real beauty. Is it made of the same hard plastic as the smaller Kaiyodos or is it made of some PVC like material?

[Daspletotyrannus]

Just got this today in the mail.  Battat Dilophosaurus version 1. I can now cross it off my Battat dinosaur listing I need.  I am still planning on getting the repaint if and when it gets release. I so happy my mini Battat Dilophosaurus now has a parent.  Just need to get a Gallimimus and Utahraptor to go with my mini versions. Oh well someday.  Lol

It's made of vinyl, it's hollow but the material feels very firm and durable, similar to PNSO's large figures I think. As well as the jaw, the four legs are articulated so you have get him into both a standing or a swimming pose.
Boy, if they ever made any prehistoric amphibians like this I'd be abosolutely over the moon!

[sauroid]

if only Kaiyodo would make a similar figure like Goro Furuta's Diplocaulus sculpture

[Neosodon]

When I first saw the picture I thought it was something you made yourself. It has kind of a home made look to it.

[Cloud the Dinosaur King]

I'm getting the Safari Ltd. Apatosaurus tonight!

[Cloud the Dinosaur King]

I got the Apatosaurus! It look absolutely incredible. Much bigger that I remember it being. I got it today because Michael's is closed tomorrow. It looks really good in my collection with my 6 other Safari Ltd. models.
