Number of WWD Ornithocheirus Models

Awesome! Hard work pays off! How nervous were you someone else would notice it or was it a Buy-It-Now? If it was a BIN, did you break your keyboard pounding the ENTER button?

[Invicta Hunter]

It was a buy it now and yes my keyboard did suffer lol.
I was anxious even when it was in the post thinking it might get lost or something.
Im so happy to finally tick this one off the list.

I can imagine! That's the find of the year, maybe the decade, so a big congratulations.

The answer now to the thread is 2. There are 2 known WWD Ornithocheirus figues known.

Come on, man, give us the story!

And welcome to the WWD Ornithocheirus Club. I was getting lonely. 

Lol thanks mate.
I was looking around on ebay and i found it in a dino lot.
I got the Ornithocheirus plus some other figures for £26 including postage.
Today I am one VERY happy man. 

what are the others in the lot? congrats btw.

Congrats for your spectacular acquisition

Oh, you lucky fellow! This'll teach me to watch eBay lots more often. Oh well, here's to another deacde of waiting for the next one to pop up...

You didn't happen to inquire the seller where he got it, did you?

i guess he didnt want to alert the seller about the value of the Ornithocheirus.

Thanks, the others were just normal toys but there was a WWD Troodon so I kept that.

I never asked, I didn't want to hint to the seller that the figure had some value to it.

Well done t both Chad and Jim on their figures. Now I have some chinosaurs sat here ready for a trade :-)

Race is on between you two to do the blog review and Jim your avatar might change too?

It's pretty tempting to use it as my avatar but I think i'll always use an Invicta figure.
It's more in keeping with my name.

WOW! Congratulations! The holy grail!! What a find!

[DinoToyForum]

Jealous! I wonder, would you consider reviewing it for the Dinosaur Toy Blog? It's the only WWD Toyway figure we haven't reviewed yet, and it would make a fascinating story. I, for one, would love to see photos from different angles.

Congratulations - your story mirrors mine - I got mine on ebay.uk 10 years ago in much the same way. 

2 years ago I passed it on to Chad, who I trust is enjoying it.  Keep it safe - most of the PVC dinos are interchageable, but the WWD Ornithocairus is an investment that will only get more valuable.  If your seller knew what he had on his hands he could have asked - and got - 20X the amount you paid for it!

Dr Admin - Your wish is my command - here you go:   

[CityRaptor]

Ah great, now I again have that desire to get one. Oh well, I guess I'll settle for the CollectA one. ( Last time I had that desire, I got the Safari Pterosaur )

[Roselaar]

* sighs* want...

So now there is a new mystery to it. What book, and what's on page 158? This is like the Dino Vinci Code!

Lucky for me I have Malcolm's (Dinonikes) Ornithocairus, which is larger but otherwise almost identical in pose ....

I was thinking the same! On page 158 will be the next clue to that fabled warehouse full of these things.

That isn't entirely true--there are also the BABY dinos figures 


I think someone here has them.

And also the 4 official Quick giveaway sets (Liopleurodon, T.rex, baby Diplodocus and Rhamphorhynchus. All with fake fossils). This one is only slightly less common than the Ornithocheirus.

I don't have time to post their photos, but the link to my photos is here: https://goo.gl/photos/R6QiBxdAtR7Pb5bt9
