Many more photos on the Ebay listing.

Worth a thread of its own, methinks!

[Chad]

Any guesses how much it goes for?

[DinoToyForum]

That price is INSANE!  Does he really think he's gonna get $500 for it??

If you read that listing its actually funny (maybe unintentionally so).

He does have some Toyway and Battats at more reasonable prices, though.

That's right, 'Simon'. By the way, I hope it's okay for me to include the photograph in this thread? Would it be alright if I posted some of the photos in the WWD thread as well? This is the first time most of us have had the opportunity to see this figure properly, so the new photographs are very welcome!

[CityRaptor]

Oh my Godzilla! It's beautiful.  Although, with that price, I guess I will obtain the Collecta one instead.

Of course, Admin.  From a pure legal standpoint, if a photo is posted publicly on the Internet, its fair game for anyone to use.  You give up any rights when you post it (unless its actually copyrighted - and then you'd still better put a fat watermark on it if you don't want it used).

What I can't understand is how no other ones have ever popped up anywhere.  I wonder how many they actually gave away.  I would guess that its anonymity is such that whoever won them in the raffle would really not have had any idea of how rare it would be considered.

Actually, Malcolm's Faunacasts Ornithocherias is larger and better detailed and is a far superior figure in a similar pose.

No doubt, but this figure's value is tied up in being the rarest of a collectible set. It's like the Honus Wagner baseball card.

*LOL*  Somehow I can't see this piece of PVC vinyl selling for $2M dollars!!

Let me just reach into my pocket for a couple of million...Naw, I meant it as an analogy! Guys with 2 million bucks to spend can just genetically engineer their own pterosaur...

[CityRaptor]

If there is a collector wealthy enough and willing to pay it.  A baseball card is a piece of paper, afterall. But then again, there is probably a bigger market for those.

Well, I meant a Vinyl one.

[tyrantqueen]

It looks good, but not something I personally would spend over four hundred dollars on. Another man's pleasure is another man's poison...

[Gwangi]

It sure is nice to finally see one!

[Balaur]

Sure is Gwangi. About time! Too bad I have -10 dollars in my bank account, otherwise I would by it.

Just kidding, but oh man. That looks beautiful! Want! Now!

[Libraraptor]

I´d buy it, if it wasn´t for the money

Hey people have paid more then that for a Battat Diplodocus and other pieces so I don't think the price is that big a deal.  The question is how much is the reserve?

[Roselaar]

This would be a good time to be extraordinarily, excessively wealthy...

Oh well, it seems this figure was built to cater only for the super-rich. Not everyone in the world has the money to enjoy these Ornithocheiruses. Maybe they'll have a coupon day or something.

[Seijun]

I will be surprised if anyone bids at that price. Dino toys do not usually go for hundreds anymore unless they are very, very old.

[SBell]

For that guy who comes on here every few years claiming to have one to sell--this is how you get buyers. By having photos of the actual figure.

And I imagine it will eventually sell to somebody, within this or the next pass in the auctions. It's very rare, and still pretty sought after. With any luck, other people who have one will realize what it is and try to sell theirs, flooding the market and dropping the price to something reasonable.

Just a question, but since Bucketfoot was apparently banned from the forum, what if this supposed "clown" happens to be one and the same? That would seem to at least be possible.....and might explain alot.

[tyrantqueen]

Well, we can figure that out by checking the link that the "clown" provided for his auction and comparing it to Bucketfoot's. If they have the same username then they are the same person.

Btw, I have purchased an item from Bucketfoot in the past and I have had no complaints, he was fast to ship and easy to deal with.
