The Maiasaura was one of the best of the original Battats, though a rather pedestrian choice of colors perhaps obscured its excellance, I believe. Dan's choice of colors for his prototype's new release was striking, in comparison. I suspect that many may concur.

I also can't see the Diliophosaurus :( .
Please let me know if you can see the Maiasaura. If so, then the Dilopho problem may be last night's issue - then I will simply re-send it.

I can see the beautiful Maiasaura, which is disappointing really as its my favourite so was hoping you'd save it for last.

I cannot see any Dilophosaurus. In fact on my screen (both my phone and laptop) I can see no evidence of any photos there at all, no links, just a paragraph space between your words.
If I click Sim's link it tells me these are not the droids I'm looking for

I'm going to resend the Dilopho. Hopefully ... it works

I can see the Maiasaura pics - it's very beautiful :) - also the new Dilophosaurus pic. The one from yesterday is still invisible for me.

I appreciate the heads-up on the problem yesterday - I think that I've remedied the issue.

Our next release, the Edmontonia. This is not a commonly available item from and in all the commercial lines, period. I still find this one to be my favorite , and the new paint job to be an improvement on the older one. Up here in Toronto, they've been by far the easiest to acquire in the thrift store bargain bins or bags of cheapies - I've gotten five! There must have been a truck of them that got hijacked!

S @SidB - I can see all the photos now. The Maiasaura is so beautiful!  For me that it is the pick of the ones you have shown, though all are good. Your friend is an excellent artist.

I had thought that the Triceratops was the best one and at times still do, but the Maiasaura is at least neck and neck. You'll judge for yourself. As far as the painter is concerned, this was a fun sideline for him. His Warhammer stuff has to be seen to be believed, in terms of quality and quantity. I may snap photos of some of the highlights of it and post it in the appropriate thread once the coronavirus scare has receded.

S @SidB The repainted edmontonia and styracosaurus are also fabulous, by the way. Are you going to market those figures? I like to rage, they are very beautiful figures.
