Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Jose S.M.]

I know they're not too popular here, but just getting back into my collection, and celebrating my birthday, I had to splurge a

Oh and I forgot to say happy birthday before so... Happy birthday! I'm almost 30 and still love birthdays  , it's a family thing I guess, we are all like that.

@mgaguilar Happy birthday. What an awesome collection of T. rex figures you got going on there. Pretty cool to see how close most of them are in size as well (except the JP one that towers over the others).

[mgaguilar]

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words and birthday wishes! 

@Noiselessx It's pretty fun to actually compare and contrast so many styles in a given species. I can't wait for the Kaiyodo Sofubi rendition to come out soon, as well as an actually decent Schleich!

@Shonisaur Been eyeing those Collecta Carcass figures lately, might even do the Rebor Tenontosaurus. Let the ceremonies begin!

@MiniMinmi Thank you! Good to hear! Glad there are others still excited for the Tyrant King. 

@PhilSauria Thank you. And agreed! I've been generally keeping to the 1:35 - 1:40 range, but I do have to make some exceptions.

It's impossible to have too many T. Rex's. Great collection.

[Halichoeres]

Happy birthday! I think T rex is plenty popular

[Shonisaurus]

Tyrannosaurus rex is the star or main animal in any collection of prehistoric animals. It is not surprising that it is the figure that is repeated over and over again and the one that is bought the most by collectors of prehistoric animal figures, such as resin, vinyl and PVC, as well as by children.

He is the king of kings of the prehistoric world.

My 2nd shipment of Carnegies from Dejankins arrived today.

I got the 10th anniversary Tyrannosaurus, the original green T. Rex (the rescuplt), the Woolly mammoth, the Maiasaura with nest, the Apatosaurus and baby, the brown Velociraptor repaint, the original Spinosaurus and the Triceratops.

Beautiful models! Worth every penny! My favorites are the Apatosaurus adult (it's huge!) and the 10th anniversary tyrannosaurus.

So... here's an embarrassing story.

I ordered a CollectA Neovenator off eBay earlier in the week. When it arrived today, I thought, "Huh, package seems a bit small." Turns out I'd not looked at the listing properly and ordered the regular Neovenator by mistake instead of the Deluxe version. Whoops!

[Dinomike]

Got this guy yesterday! I'm really happy about it. Mr. Davil Silva has done a great job with his Beasts of The Mesozoic Raptor series. The poseability is superior.

The figures of Beasts of The Mesozoic Raptor are of an outstanding quality. They are recreations of very successful raptors.

Oh, bummer! The regular version is so homely by comparison.

I got a few new models today; the Carnegie Diplodocus, the Safari Yutyrannus and Ceratosaurus, and Safari's newly released Anzu. Now, I don't typically buy newly released models as they often arrive with sloppy paint applications, but I couldn't resist buying the Anzu. It's a lovely model, and the paint application was great too.

[Mini Minmi]

I got a bunch of newcomers this week. Part of it from a big order at Everything Dinosaur and the rest (Papos and Safari toob because they're the only brands available locally). Nothing rare or particularly exciting but I'm happy to have them join my Zoo and I wanted to share the joy. 😀

[Shonisaurus]

Mini Minmi then you have spent a considerable amount of money only the Schleich dunkleosteus, the Collecta diplodocus and carcharodontosaurus, feathered Tyrannosaurus Safari and Papo baryonyx cost a small fortune.

[Joey]

Dang! Nice acquisitions everyone!
And I just realized that I, still haven't shared what figures I got for Christmas...

Yes, I am officially forbidden to buy any more dinos for a while. Hehehe. I pretty much got everything I wanted for now anyway. 

[CityRaptor]

Well, here is my newest haul:

Believe it or not, the Terra Stegosaurus only costed me only slightly more than 3 Euros on German Amazon! It's an Amazon Plus Product and I needed to order something from there anyways...
The book is from the same Amazon haul.
The National Geographic ( not from Amazon ) has an article about Borealopelta, while the Hörzu Wissen has one on Pterosaurs. Found the latter while looking for the former at newsstands.

And I got a fossil:

Would have put it in the first picture, but that was already taken and was to lazy to redo it.

[Mini Minmi]

Sweet loot! That book looks beautiful. Congrats!

[IrritatorRaji]

Just got these repaints off of Etsy. Repainted Schleich Mini Quetzalcoatlus (painted to look like the JP toy)



And knockoff Papo Carnotaurus (painted to look like the Kenner Demon Carnotaurus)

[Shonisaurus]

The carnotaurus looks terrifying like the one in the Disney movie. That Papo Knockoff, with that painting looks pretty.
