Nice haul!

That Bullyland Evolution of Man set is really cool. I don't think it would fly in the puritanical U.S., unfortunately.

Well, Safari has this:

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Yes, I'm familiar with that set, but what I'm referring to is that the Safari set leaves out some anatomical features that would have been prominent, while Bullyland includes them.

Shame they didn't put trousers on the earliest hominids in the set. Would have been funny.

Ah, the nudity issue. I was thinking about something else.

I suppose that they put loincloths on the toys of prehistoric man for reasons linked to modesty because the brands of prehistoric toy animals do not want to have problems due to alleged complaints from parents that they can see as immoral that they totally show their nakedness to prehistoric man. In fact they have received criticism and even censure the man / woman of Neardenthal de Collecta and the dead dinosaurs like the tyrannosaurus of Collecta for being a gore or violent content.

Which is of course pretty stupid, given that it is National Geographic Nudity rather than sexual content.

I totally agree with you, but there is a lot of hypocrisy in our current human society. They do not know how to appreciate true art even if it is a toy.

Like how in the US violence is ok, but sex? :o "Think of the children!"

Had a change around today just to spruce things up. I've been trading a kaiyodo or two recently and it reminded me of just how spectacular they are.

As are some of the Safari line.

As always UK you have in your collection unique figures. By the way, the quetzalcoatlus you have on the top shelf, which company does it belong to? He appears to be a fairly large figure.

I'd be nervous even turning around in this bathroom for fear of knocking into some of these treasures!

I was just thinking that too!

Good to see that you don't have to keep them in the attic now - you've come a long way!

Nice to see the Safari Leptoceratops has gone to a good home too 👍

The rhamphorynchus and the ornithocherius look majestic. You have two beautiful and very rare reproductions of pterosaurs.

Thank you avatar_Shonisaurus @Shonisaurus for your comments as always.

The figure was made by Fauna Casts apparently.

They fit in nicely thank you avatar_EmmaLVV @EmmaLVV though it's a precarious display with the big figure resting on the tree. He goes, they all go.

The little safari does look good.

The loft was a good idea in the winter, but as soon as the sun came out, it was a no go. I have my Favourite Oldies up there still, I'm going to have to come up with a way of displaying them in the bathroom. 🤔

And you stay safe too B @Bokisaurus. It's already fallen off so I've moved it.
