Uk - fascination with the Land of the Rising Sun

[Libraraptor]

Great new additions!  Btw  I had thought you mean inactivity on the forum,  but you meant collecting itself.  Yes I know too well not being able to afford every thing I like...

Found my missing play vision. Here they are for a group photo. These are truly beautiful.

Lovely figures! I'm only missing the mini Andy from my collections. I was lucky enough to snag the big one for less than $20 on an eBay auction where they misspelled the name.

It's great to grab a bargain but people should invest a bit of time and energy in their listings sometimes.

I was lucky to grab a couple of vintage variants today. A Toyway pleasiosaurus variant, Royal blue and another lovely Timpo Brontosaurus.

Ooh, very cool! I only have the greenish version of that plesio. Any interest in selling?

Sorry not at the moment thank you. I now have the Toyway, dinocrat green and blue versions.

Yeah,  welcome to the post-photobucket-age! Great new Pictures!

Great Stuff!  I don't think I've ever seen a complete impros collection before.  You also have all the small Playvisions mammals.

Realy great stuff.
I realy like the use of palm trees - what are they
A smal remark : your "Japanese delights" shelve is realy lovely -
but, personaly, I would have replace the big T-rex with something else, better suited to the other figures.

Thanks for the observation. The display has a few days left before another rotation. By having a small area for display, my wife hates the figures with a passion, I rotate often thus keeping it fresh and dynamic. To this end I've kept my collecting items on the smaller end of the scale. Next lot will probably be a complete set of Timpo figures, both painted and unpainted.

The palms are from favorite and from memory could only be obtained through purchasing other figures.

There are 8 PV prehistoric mammals and he has 6. He seems to be missing three - the Andrewsarchus, the mammoth and the tapir. That math doesn't add up... I'm questioning the little black one in the back row.

Been enjoying the opportunity presented by the demise of PB and my two little display shelves. Here's how things were yesterday and tonight's changes last...









And now change over..... Some old and some rare...

I see you have the Og Son of Fire figures except for the T-rex, just like myself.   What is the man figure left of Og?
