Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Nah, he's part of a new line for Halloween Home Depot will carry.  I couldn't have built him for what he costs at any rate.

Makes sense. Don't know why I asked; if you had made it it would have looked a lot more realistic I'm sure. But still a fun anachronistic prop to have.

for sure, i think he's just fun and huge! lol  also reminds me of this guy from the 1960's :

[Daspletotyrannus]

I got the Kaiyodo Glyptodon a couple days ago. It a very lovely figure.




I finally got the Battat Utahraptor today in the mail. All I need  now is the Gallimimus. I'm not getting the Diplodocus until the repaint. I'm not sending that money on it now and I like the repaint more.




Just did this for fun. Yes the Acrocanthosaurus is standing up on its own two feet. It looks so much better.  My mini Utahraptor has a mommy now. Lol

Nice new acquisitions there, Daspletotyrannus! 

[Neosodon]

The Utahraptors look like they are inspired from WWD.

Or vice versa. Battat original line - mid 1990's, WWD - 1999?

[Sim]

As far as I'm aware...

The original Battat dinosaur figures were released from 1994 to 1998.  The Battat Utahraptor was released in 1996.  The Battat mini dinosaurs (including the mini Utahraptor) were released in 1998.

Walking with Dinosaurs came out in 1999, so the Utahraptor in WWD came later in time than the Battat Utahraptor figures.

How do you make it stand?

I jammed needles in the center toes, up the foot, and from the back going towards the knee. Cut the extra needles off that sticks out( have eye protection, I didn't it flew ever where).  Then I bent the center toes slightly down( I don't know why but you have to do this for it to work ). What you are really doing is adding support to the weak parts.  I also did it to the Tyrannosaurus too. But I used bigger needles for that one. And it has been standing up ever since I did it. Heating up the figure helps.

I finally bought myself a PAPO Apatosaurus today. Lovely figure, to me the neck is okay. Doesn´t need a picture, does it, for I guess it´s well known already.
And I am still awaiting my Pachyrhinosaurus repaint from Switzerland. I had it repainted there by Kathrin from Kathrins Dino Channel who unfourtunately wants to stay independent and not join this forum, but it´s her decision and it´s okay by me. As soon as it´s here I´ll post some new pics.
You can see first impressions in my "Collection" thread. I think the leg is a little off, but I can´t really define what exactly. Maybe someone of you has got an idea?

Back in business thanks to Postimage. Here's some recent acqs:

Nice lot on eBay for an awesome price:



Latest haul from Everything Dinosaur. Another one soon to come.

[Jose S.M.]

Great hauls!

[Kaprosaurus]

Is that a Safari Ltd. Mamenchisaurus?

[Roselaar]

Is that a Safari Ltd. Mamenchisaurus?

Yes. But without base or packaging. Good enough for me though.

[Nebuloid]

Great hauls Roselaar ! Now I really want that Rebor "Winston", and the Compsognathus...
But today I finally have the 2017 Collecta and Safari figures I wanted:



And some older ones I didn't have :



For all the Dutch people, Blokker has some good online deals on Collecta figures...

I didn't know Blokker did Collecta. I checked out their website, but found their prices staggeringly expensive. I stopped looking after I saw 12.95 euro for a Struthiomimus and 38,50 for an Acrocanthosaurus... That's just extortion!

Weird, that T-rex in the last picture was only 5 euros, the others were even cheaper. I also didn't know, found it by accident.

[ZoPteryx]

Wow, great hauls Roselaar and Nebuloid! 

[Libraraptor]

Wow, great hauls Roselaar and Nebuloid! 

I agree!
How can one stumble upon WWD figures in a lot?
This never ever happens in Germany.
