Just came out of 10 days isolating after being pinged. Blasted Covid. Currently have a blocked ear from swimming in the sea during the recent heat wave  ::)

Hope is is well with you too.

Thank you to avatar_Everything_Dinosaur @Everything_Dinosaur for a speedy dispatch of my two Atopodentatus figures. Manage to add them to the display without too much drama.

Terrible photography as always.









Everything_Dinosaur

Thanks for the mention of Everything Dinosaur and thank you for sharing the pics.

I'm glad you finished confinement, the photographs in your collection are phenomenal, you have a very nice collection. My congratulations, I hope you had a luxurious summer despite everything.

The placement of your figures are very original, you have very good taste.

Thank you Manuel.

I'm currently sat on one of the best beaches in the world watching the red arrows display team. The sea has been amazing this year and today's 45 minutes of body boarding has helped calm me after a hectic week.

Whilst we can't do to much due to my wife's illness, I can't think of too many places in the world I'd rather be.

I really am an amateur at all of this but I'm so lucky to be able to buy these amazing figures though the old incorrect sculpts will always be my first love.

Good to have you back avatar_Shonisaurus @Shonisaurus.

Great to see your updated pictures UK - aren't these the ones in your bathroom?

Nice to hear about your body boarding today, we Crackingtons enjoy this too when we visit Cornwall most years. Alas not any opportunity to do this where we live in Hertfordshire.

Sorry to hear Mrs Uk is unwell and hope she gets better soon.

Thank you. She is in remission but will need immunotherapy for the next two years. We've had a great few days on the beach in our beach hut. The plane that crashed into the sea at Poole today had flown over our heads when we were in the sea seconds before it went down. I thought it was low but just showboating.

I've been a lucky collector to have owned what I have.

avatar_Crackington @Crackington yes it's in the bathroom my wife doesn't use. She's warming to the figures these days so I might get a display cabinet at long last. Cornwall is lovely, we were hoping to get down there this year but just need to be careful. I think my wife has averaged 4 days a week down the beach hut this year, and I've been in the sea more times this year than for a long long time. Adds so much to our health and happiness.

avatar_Gothmog the Baryonyx @Gothmog the Baryonyx , thank you

avatar_sauroid @sauroid , thank you too.

What's that Mosasaurus
Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

Always a pleasure to see an update.
Hope your wife feels better soon, best wishes.

I had missed your update, sorry. What a great thread still! I love those Timpos!

Shonisaurus

avatar_UK @UK My best wishes to your wife, facing the problem with a positive spirit has signs that it can be solved favorably. I am also very happy to contact you and the rest of the DTF members.

Halichoeres

avatar_GojiraGuy1954 @GojiraGuy1954 I think that's the Sega JW Mosasaurus. It was an arcade prize IIRC.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Another visitor to the undersea part of the bathroom. Poor photography, concept and believability as always. Great to get the WWD liopleurodon back in the collection.






Gothmog the Baryonyx

Did something happen to your WWD Liopleurodon?

It looks in perfect condition, much better than the one I paid too much for last year or the year before.
