Horridus Collection [New Favorite soft models]

[Gwangi]

What would compel you to commit such a sin?  I would have totally paid you money for that Tyrannosaurs given the chance...intact of course.

Well, I had hoped to have taken it off his hands at one point, so imagine how I feel.

Same here. Always wanted a Red Rex...

In that case he could have just given it away, now I'm very perplexed. What is the motivation behind butchering a highly sought after toy and posting a picture of it on a toy collecting site? I realize it is just a toy but inquiring minds want to know!

I've tried to flog it on here before with no success. I wouldn't say it's a 'highly sought after toy' - if it were, I wouldn't have two of the blighters (my budget for figure buying is very limited!). It's common as muck on eBay, and regularly sells for small change - or at least, the broken ones do (and this one was broken). The problem with getting rid of the thing is that, because of its bulk, shipping fees can be rather high.

Basically, I was fed up of it sitting in a drawer, taking up a load of room. Since I had one in better condition, I decided to turn it into a 'trophy head'!

Now, the one that I have that actually works - there's no way you'll catch me butchering that!

Nice collection! . You have a new Deinocheirus and Brachiosaurus. I hope to see the new Deinocheirus in my country  .

[Himmapaan]

You'll still let me mount that head on a plaque at least...?

[Horridus]

You'll still let me mount that head on a plaque at least...?

I'd be very happy to!

Maybe with a legend along the lines of "Tyrannosaurus rex kenneri, 1993"

Which country are you from again...? I have this feeling it's mainland Europe somewhere, in which case it should be very soon! Otherwise you can order it from UK and German sellers.

My country is Spain. I buy figures of Collecta but is very hard to find because I find these figures in museums or specifics shops .

And paint it bronze, that classes up just about any model!
(No, seriously, do it! I just bronzed my huge ELC Triceratops... it's too big for shelves, but makes a lovely centerpiece.)

I don't know about Spanish sites, but it shouldn't cost too much to buy one from everythingdinosaur.co.uk and have it shipped there.

Do you mean this guy? I might have to get hold of another one now and paint it up!

[Sumo]

That's the one! *shudder* Those matte, dead eyes...
Mine's currently living in the library, doing his best to draw attention to our display of dinosaur books.

[Horridus]

That's the one! *shudder* Those matte, dead eyes...

Those always did strike me. Like a doll's eyes...er, except they're matte.

That aside, it's surprisingly good for a cheapo model that's a blatant knock-off of the Safari Great Dinos Triceratops. I mean, the frill's the wrong shape, which is a pretty serious flaw, but it's nicely proportioned and all that.

Thanks for you help Horridus  . I will try to buy in everythingdinosaur.co.uk.

Well, it's highly sought after by me anyway. I haven't managed to find one on eBay (U.S.) cheaper than $40 not including the shipping. My budget is very limited too and putting down even $40 on a single toy from 1993 is something I'm hesitant to do. If you were desperate to get rid of it I would have gladly payed the shipping (unless it cost more than a BIN on eBay with the shipping fee). I remember you advertising it as a trade at some point on the old forum but I didn't have anything to trade so didn't even bother suggesting it. It's yours to do what you want of course but I think you could have advertised it better.  It bums me out to see it like that, especially since I really want one but hey, no hard feelings.

Blimey! I think it might actually be cheaper for you to look on UK eBay and have one shipped over. I'll let you know if I see one.

Well, Seijun sent me a listing that went for $26, I didn't win it of course. How much do they go for over there? The cheaper ones are probably out there and I just haven't been looking hard enough. I admit I'm new to eBay. Thanks for the offer to keep an eye out though.

I got one for £6 including p&p once (the one I beheaded), although it was broken. Working specimens tend to go for a bit more - the mechanism broke really easily.

Got me the Papo baby T. rex and, wouldn't you know, I have quite a good candidate for a parent! Why, they're almost in scale with one another.

How cute is the baby T.rex is a question that was just answered with this photo.

[Roselaar]

Papo baby T-Rex sure seems to be on top of things lately.
