Just received some fun new projects to work on after the holidays:

I went a bit overboard on minis. I have several more coming over from DeeZee, can't wait.

Looking forward to seeing your paint-ups!

This came in the mail yesterday:





It's only my second Favorite co. figure, but he's very cool (and I have three others on the way!). I'm thinking of reviewing this one for the blog, once I catch up on another overdue review.

[spinosaurus1]

i literally ordered one a few days ago. i plan on cusomizing mine to be in a different pose

The Favorite Spinosaurus is a pleasing model. I'm curious to know if it simply sits on its base or if there is some sort of peg arrangement.

It's a peg. The spinosaurus has a slot on the belly that the peg on the base fits in to.

Thank you!

That's pretty much the Favorite style--if there is a base, the peg arrangement leaves a fairly large hole in the figure! They are apparently made to be displayed in a very particular pose!

Glad to help! I even have some of each left!

And the rest of the Safari offerings are on order...hope to have them early in the new year (maybe just before; we'll see how it goes).

So, what's you first impressions? I'm just thrilled to have big, beefy mammals! But the big new dinos are pretty cool too!

I like all of them, especially the mastodon! Can't wait till you get the rest of the line in stock!

[ceratopsian]

The prospect of a peg doesn't worry me at all.  I was thinking more of how stable it would be on its base.

Mine is slightly wobbly, but otherwise secure. It can also - at least for a short time - stand without the base.

It might take a little longer--the Dimetrodon (and Lemon shark) are delayed into January. But I am definitely getting both in!

Title translates as "Petrified World". It's a collection of short stories about prehistoric animals by Josef Augusta, with some artwork by Zdenek Burian.

[Lanthanotus]

Hmm, nice one. I do not know Josef Augusta (at leat can't recall the name), but I adore Burian's art and do not know the picture on the cover.

While I eagerly await a bunch of the new Safari's arriving (hopefully on the morrow), I received two "ancient" Safaris/Carnegies in fair condition and found to my surprise the Schleich Dinogorgon next to the other 2018's in stock at a local toy shop. I'd like to write a review about it the next days, also with better photos (sorry for the bad quality here).

[Reptilia]

Very interested to read the Dinogorgon review, and see more pictures. It looks weird from this angle.

[Fembrogon]

Archaeopteryx is here!



Oh, hey, Allosaurus is here, too. Neat!



The Favorite collection grows!
I'll start working on a review of the Archy sometime soon.

[ITdactyl]

Awesome hauls everyone.  I'm also very happy with my Favorite Archaeopteryx.

The cover art for the Josef Augusta book seems like a comic for an argument at a gym.

[sauroid]

Lanthanotus: does the Dinogorgon really lack details and definition (looks really flat like a mini figure)? looks so different from the stock photo we've seen initially.

[RobinGoodfellow]

..oops.. I forgot a Christmas haul..

[Loon]

Nice haul! The picture kind of looks like a creationist Christmas card.
