The newer Triceratops from the Kaiyodo Cretaceous set doesn't have quills, this is the older one from the ceratopsian set.

[triceratops83]

Here's the latest batch from the last few months.
The new Kaiyodo Trike. If it wasn't for the lack of cheeks this would be perfect.


The Recur Trike. I wasn't looking forward to this but it's not too bad in person.


Minis from PNSO, Collecta and the Safari Baby Dinos Toob


The Imperial electronic Triceratops. Got this one brand new in package. Brings back memories - I had this one when I was a kid.


Some cheapies I repainted. I haven't had to paint anything in a while, so I had only about six colours to choose from.


Favorite Pentaceratops


Favorite Sinoceratops


Favorite Yinlong


I also got in the mail today Gregory S Paul's Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs 2nd edition.

Very good figures! I really like the Favorites, too bad when they came around I was low on cash. The baby Triceratops from PNSO is so cute!

I ordered the new PNSO Triceratops last night - should go well with the "hatchling".

[sauroid]

Thanks, Sauroid. I ordered the PNSO Triceratops as soon as I heard people on the forum saying it was available, without looking into it. At first I wondered why a 1:35 model cost so much, but reading the article it turns out that it will be big, possibly 1:15, which would be a good price for such a large model. The photos look incredible, it will be among the best Triceratops. I'll post pics when it arrives.

What's your choice for the quintessential Triceratops figure?

[Archinto]

I love the treatment you did to the Imperial triceratops. What kind of paint did you use? I havent had luck with anything but acrylics on rubber figures

so far, the new PNSO Trike would be the best candidate

Thanks, and yeah, I always just use Tamiya acrylics that I get from the model shop.

Yeah, it's looking that way. I'd suggest we do a poll, but it would be a big one. I've got about a hundred and sixty contestants, and there's still plenty I don't have.

Wow, that's a lot of Trikes. The only one on my shelf is the Battat, but I really love the Kokoro also. Too bad it's nearly impossible to find. I think it's a great candidate for a poll, though, and who better to start it than you?

go for it. start a Trike poll.

[triceratops83]

I don't know how to go about it. But I can certainly provide assistance to those who can by making a list - or just use my collection thread as a resource. I've got pretty much all the modern figures, I'm just lacking on vintage Triceratops, such as Miller and Sinclair.

I'd never heard of the Kokoro till recently when one popped up on Ebay, but they wouldn't ship overseas. Now it's going to bug me forever until I get one.

[triceratops83]

Wow, it's been like four years since I posted in this thread.

I gave up on collecting for a while - a combination of my car needing to be replaced and my work cutting back everyone's hours simply put an end to all that. When I was collecting Ceratopsians I was somewhat of a completist and knowing I'd be hard pressed to find the money to keep up my hobby led to me selling off the collection. It just wasn't a priority for a while. Then, last year some time boredom got the best of me and I started again with the aim of sticking to Ornithopods (mainly Hadrosaurs), because A) I like them, and B) collecting this group of Dinosaurs wouldn't require the time and money I'd needed to devote to Triceratops and its' ilk. There's only like a few Ornithopods released each year, unlike the dozens of Ceratopsians we get.

The Great Photobucket Purge destroyed this thread, so yeah, don't bother with anything before this post, and since I didn't replace it, I haven't participated in many discussions, but FINALLY I made the switch to Postimage and this is kind of a test run. I'll just a put up a couple of images to see how it turns out, then further on down the track I'll do individual shots or something.

This is the main collection. Before the pandemic struck I was about to buy a bigger bookshelf, but that'll have to wait. You can see how everything is crammed onto this little bookshelf. I'll take better photos next weekend maybe.




The Shane Foulkes Anatotitan. When this became available again I got one straight away - I'd always wanted this model. I didn't do a particularly good job of painting this, but am too lazy to fix it.



The Tamiya Parasaurolophus Male, Female and Juvenile.




And here a couple of deviations from the main collection.
A Maastrichtian scene (Will shortly be joined by the Safari Edmontosaurus) The Brachiosaurus is filling in for an Alamosaurus.


And my Skull Island Jungle Scene


Postimages is quite easy to use, a good replacement for Photobucket.

[Shonisaurus]

Nice collection of ornithopods is very complete I congratulate you on your collection the ones I like the most are the parasaurolophus Tamiya, female, male and juvenile that's what I would like the brands of toy dinosaurs to do in relation to dinosaurs dinosaur families and complete prehistoric animals like those shown by Tamiya. Thanks for sharing.

On the other hand you have a feathered tyrannosaurus rex and a Safari triceratops among other figures that are the best existing figures on the toy market, apart from Safari ankylosaurus and styracosaurus and Carnegie's brachiosaurus among other figures, all great.

Who makes are the palms on the left of the Maastrichtian scene? In fact, can you list all the plants there plus the baobabs in Skull Island.
Are those palms growing by the road in the background of your outdoor photos?

[ceratopsian]

Good to see you back with a renewed interest.

[Jose S.M.]

I love ornithopods, the Anatotitan and Parasaurolophus models are beautiful!
