CollectA do have a Liopleurodon figure but I guess you mean the new Pliosaurus?

Arul · February 11, 2015, 02:17:18 PM

Oh, cool

Does anyone know if the CollectA Pliosaurus is accurate (e.g. the head sculpt)? I might consider picking one up.

Arul · February 13, 2015, 10:51:12 AM

Just arrived, my first plesiosaur

We talked about before..it looked really close minus some artistic license I think..my Adam can shed some light?

Congrats on your first pliosaur ARUL!

Cool. I guess I will be picking it up

I always look forward to CollectA's marine reptiles. I kinda wished they made the Rhomaleosaurus in a smaller size, though.

New Pliosaur from CollectA - this guy is HUGE! Love the addition of parasitic lampreys

Would be interesting to hear what Adam thinks of this new one. Right now, it's the best Pliosaur model out there, IMHO

Not perfect but they are getting better. Not sure what the patches behind the eyes are supposed to be. I'll review it in due course. Wild Safari Liopleurodon is still better in my opinion.

Wow nice figure, as you said yes its a big figure. Thanks for the pict. Lamprey live in sea ? I thought they live in river hehehe

Is there a freshwater lamprey? Sounds possible. Leeches now are fresh water.

Hehehe maybe im wrong, i read from a blog, Long time ago Greece people using lamprey to punish a crime. The crime is get into a pond which is full of lamprey...

Me and my local fish are all to well aware of fresh water lamprey

They are like bull sharks, they live wherever they please.

Some interesting info on Lampreys : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamprey

I didn't know they were a human food item.

Arul · February 27, 2015, 07:58:51 AM

Thanks for the link Blade

they lived in river but migrated to the sea when they adult, thats the lifecycle explained from the link. Well lamprey lived alongside a pliosaur and thats the fact if i see from collecta figure

Dinomike · February 27, 2015, 01:02:12 PM

Yes, they get eaten here in Finland where they are called neulamuikku. I'm happy to be vegetarian though.

Not all of them--invasive sea lampreys in the Great Lakes are quite happy to just stay there all the time. They'll even attack swimming people (thanks, River Monsters! New nightmares!).
