Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[tyrantqueen]

I would totally have bought that vampire squid you trashed.

How much is it worth? Bear in mind that what you saw is what you get. No base or anything.

That and the paper nautilus are both Agatsuma figures...fairly hard to get, generally pretty expensive. Hard to believe they were grabaged.

Want the paper nautilus? I can get it out of the dustbin. Might be a bit stinky but I can wash it.

I don't really know what they're worth--they don't show up in auctions very often. Myself, I have the full set, but I'm sure someone could find a home for them!

[BlueKrono]

No idea, I hadn't seen it before. If it were still salvageable I'd love the vampire.

[stargatedalek]

Bases or not I'd take them off your hands! I can't offer much for them, but if no-one else wants them I can at least make it worth the effort of retrieving and mail posting them.

Got these cool kids with the help from Brett (brettnj):



Really excited about the Kaiyodos. First time collecting them, and they're very neat.

[Joey]

Man, the Favorite Spino is a monster compared to the Kaiyodos!

They are lovely models - and quite addictive!  I'm prepared to bet they won't be your only Kaiyodos.

Welcome to the nightmare that is Kaiyodo dinosaur figures--I started with just one Brontotherium...now I have hundreds.

And Kaiyodo just leads to things like Takara, Yujin, Colorata and Kabaya...the Japanese are very good at what they do!

[Shonisaurus]

The capsule of Kaiyodo dinotales ceraptósidos that I bought Brett and Emiko is a work of art. Sincerely, the figures of Kaiyodo dinotales occupy very little space and it is ideal to start to become interested in the dinosaur figures of Japanese companies and therefore adapt to their toy philosophy.

Sincerely Favorite and Kaiyodo are two of my favorite companies the Japanese are very hardworking and competitive in their paleoartistic works and in general in everything.

A few figures from Japan I have been waiting for....and Baltan!


Konami SF Movie Selection King Kong
Yokuryu ( Pteranodon )
Rairyu ( Brontosaurus )

Bandai Godzilla High Grade: Shin Godzilla Climax
Godzilla 2016 4th Form
Godzilla 2016 4th Form Maquette Version
They are the same mold and both come with two different lower jaws. I used the "normal" jaw for the "normal" ( well, as normal as Shin is ) version and the split lower jaw for the maquette version. The unused jaws are at their feet.

And finally, the seller also added a freebie: Alien Baltan from the Ultraman series. I always thought that if I would get someone from that series, it would be something better fitting in here, like Gomora or Jirass or Dinosaur Tank, but I guess it's Baltan. Well for now. Don't know if I'll keep it.

Hundreds of Brontotheriums or hundreds of Kaiyodos? If you have hundreds of Brontotheriums, then your collection is a lot larger than I could possibly imagine!   

[CityRaptor]

Probably hundreds of Kaiyodos. The japanese are masters at creating addicting miniature figures.

it is a nightmare indeed, the figures are brittle and easily break. i have so many ruined ones in the "trash" box.

I popped the tarbosaurus off of its carcass to get a better look at it, but accidentally sent it flying across my desk. Terrifying- very luck it didn't break!

They all live in display cabinet now with my other delicate shapeways stuff

I don't have much of a theme in collecting other than I like figures with fluid or non-traditional poses. The one exception being feathered theropods, which Kaiyodo thankfully is filling that void in toy form. Now, just need more feathered resin kits...

[CityRaptor]

Yep, they are clearly not toys. I keep mine in one of those:

Same model of display cabinet, but with the adjustable shelves inside arranged slightly differently, as the high one is on top in mine. Also of course free of Pokemon and other junk shown here.

[SBell]

Well, it took almost 5 years, but Malcolm came through!







Yes, it's 1/40, and as huge as you'd expect! Notice the little Lego Friend mini!

Also, Safari arrived for my store today...so great to see the first batch! Most of which I have added to my collection!

A Cenozoic (or Cainozoic if you're weird) geology fan should get why this sequence is so fantastic!



Dinos on a dinosaur leg...and close up!


It's a big Triceratops!


And...the fish. Elasmobranchs mostly!

[Dyscrasia]

Absolutely beautiful model~!

Although I am planning to get one later this month, I still really hate that shipping cost.

[sauroid]
