They are wonderful Armando. I'm toying with clearing the shelves and just putting up the whole series. I've put the King Kong figures up this week.

This weeks shelves including a full display of what inspired me forty years or so to live dinosaurs.... The Inpro series. And a new addition stowed away top left of the dip lay unit courtesy of Libraraptor.

Great to see Basel Tsintaosaurus in its new home!

A few tweaks today. I've added my recent cherilea acquisitions, only equal led by white post in the lines stakes. Somehow they seem more charming in black and white.

By the way, R U the four-legged quetzalcoatlus that you have on the first shelf above. What company do you belong to? Is very pretty.

What strange treasures live on your shelves!

Many of these PVC figures are worth more monetarily than noble metals and I do not exaggerate. I can attest that to find these figures you have to spend a lot of money, but then it's worth having them in a collection.  8)

Yes, you both are right, UK really owns a wonderful dinosaur collection!
And, Shonisaurus, that is a wonderful description,UK´s dinosaurs are monetarily worth more than noble metals...
fantastic choice of words to honour a collection...!!!

@Shonisaurus:..to the "four-legged" Quetzalcoatlus: I think,its a Hatzegopteryx, he has two legs and uses the fingers/
hands on his wings to touch the ground and perhaps they can help him to walk on two legs and two hands...

I like the other two flying terrorbirds, Rhamphorhynchus and Pteranodon very much,too!

I haven't been on the Forum for a while, but great to see the Inpros and Timpos et al together (that old Rex we traded an age ago looking grand with its pals). Well done UK!

Welcome back to the forum... Time to post some images of your glass display. Hope you and the family are well. As you can see, I've finally been allowed to have some display space... Out of sight in the back bathroom lol.

The Rex is pride of place, part of the fab 5  😊

Great to see some Cherileas!

They're an amazing little piece of history. Just need to find the iguanodon and diplodocus to complete the set. It's a shame about the stegs broken plates but it somehow adds to its charm.

Thank you Shonisaurus and Ashely. Only the scarce or strange really attract me. I have very few contemporary figures but have been lucky to have owned complete sets of many highly desirable lines. I am disciplined in keeping my collection to a maximum size and rigidly enforce a one in one out policy.

Some figures are very pricey but most were picked up through stealthily and patiently reviewing many auction sites over a long period of time. The dinometal skull is the only one I've ever seen after 7 or 8 years of searching. So time and patience are my greatest expenditure :-)

Thank you Kirsty. The figure is in fact a Quetzalcoatus painted by Malcolm. It suffered a but of damage when my wife dropped in on the floor. When repairing it, I ended up sticking the part of the beak to my thumb due to the cat trying to help and almost gluing herself too for which I lost concentration lol.

The two flying terror birds are actually three if you look closely at the base of the blutack. It's a miniature expo release of its bigger brother above by Colorata

Bokisaurus

Nice, and I spy a new addition on the last photo, top shelf :)) Min his on it's merry way as we speak  ;)

PlesiosaurusNessy

@UK:Thanks a lot,too! Okay, I really thought, the terrorbird is an Hatzegopteryx,because I´ve never seen before a Quetzalcoatlus
with such a long neck...,but its a very nice interesting figure, I like your terrorbirds!

And, I really like your vintage dinosaurs, especially the 5 smiling Timpo T-Rexes, they seem to have a live with a lot of fun
at your shelves...,with a friendly Dimetrodon and Stegosaurus!
