Shonisaurus

Sincerely, although they are retro figures of dinosaurs are fabulous and rare, it would be good that in the serious toy market for example companies like Safari, Collecta, Papo, Vitae someday they would do those dinosaurs "retro". They have a lot of charm. :)

Shonisaurus

This tyrannosaurus although it is resin and very nice is based on Jurassic Park since its forelimbs are very long to be a tyrannosaurus.
DinostoreUs American company sister of the Favorite company is one of the resin dinosaur companies for my part.  :)

WOW, Robin !
Have you robbed a bank recently ?  ;)

Do you have any untempered pics of the Carnotaurus Muxi  Diorama ?
I am contemplating about this one - and wish to know what does it look like 'naturaly'.

Also, as for  'how this figure really looks like' -
I saw your PNSO Tsintaosaurus - it looks really different, in terms of colors, than what I expected -
see this pic form MNHK :
I have to admit I like MNHK colors better -
I don't know if it's just the lightning etc. , but, in your picture the figure seems to be a bit over painted with a colors to be considered as 'natural'
and the color application seems a bit 'sloppy' as far as 'air brush' and 'dry brush' techniques ( which I'm not an expert with ).
Can it be that there are several painting schemes for that model ?

( Pictures from MNHK - If you want me to later delete those pics from your thread - just ask )

I haven't been taking new pictures from more than a month: these models came from past acquisitions.
I'm just showing them all together..

It's just a little bit less saturated than my pictures.
But not too different..

Because of the white stripes on tail and body, I had to use the HDR (High Dynamic Range) method for the pictures.
So colors seem a little bit sloppy.
Light is already soft inside a light-box; and it's much more soft with HDR.
I prefer that instead of an over-exposed white.

No, don't worry...

MHHK pictures are sharper than reality (and under-colored).
The real color of the Tsintaosaurus is between my pictures and MHHK pictures.

(You should also try to see my original picture with the zoom function (= original dimension) here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/41449812771/in/album-72157667322973960/ )

Shonisaurus

The PNSO tsintaosaurus is a desirable figure for any collector. I'm glad you have it in your Robin collection.  ^-^

Although we now know from recent discoveries that the tsintaosaurus was not the living "unicorn" that fascinated me as a child and young, I really like that paleoartistic representation of this lambeosaurine hadrosaurus.  :)

Thanks Robin for posting those beautiful figures of the Carnegie primitive dinosaurs. I think you have almost all the versions but I think that the tanystropheus got another version (I have to confess that I do not either).

What a lot of new pictures for me to catch up with!  Thank you.  The Oldies Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops made me feel very nostalgic for the books I read as a small child.  They are a beautiful pair.  I also loved the brightness of the Lontic Caudipteryx - as you say, fun.  Thanks for showing the Carnegie artwork too.

In fact, the Carnegie brand was the pioneer of modern and modern figures of dinosaur toys and, in general, prehistoric animals. Its value and merit is unalterable.

Those figures are great and have beautiful color schemes.

ceratopsian

Although I don't own any Paleozoo figures, I was lucky enough handle the real thing (rather than admire a photo) when I went to see the Dinosaur exhibition in Nottingham last year, courtesy of our Dr. Admin.  The effect was almost jewel like.  Your photos capture that quality.

Shonisaurus

Neither do I have any figures from the Paleozoo company but sincerely captivate one (at least in my case) their figures.

Anomelocaris and the dunkleosteus come out in terms of perfection and the same can be said of the tiktaalik.
