Nanuqsaurus' steadily improving collection

[Jose S.M.]

I don't have the Papo one but it looks very detailed, the other two are very good, my favorite is the Nasutoceratops, it was one of the figures that started my collection!

The only flaw of the Papo Tupuxuara is that it lacks pycnofibres, but other than that it's very detailed for such a small figure!

Some new dinosaurs for my collection!

Papo Pachyrhinosaurus. One of my favorite ceratopsians! I know it shares some parts with the Papo Styracosaurus, but it's still a great figure and they look great together!


Safari Gastornis, wasn't really planning to buy this one, but I read on the forum that it's going out of production. And besides, I didn't have any birds in my collection yet!


CollectA Torvosaurus, absolutely love this one! Amazing dynamic pose and nice colors.

Here's a quick picture I took of my current main collection. The Schleich Allosaurus has been replaced with the Papo one, it has a special place on a different shelf, along with the other ''classics'' that have been retired from my main collection.

Is the black and white ceartopsian a repaint of shleich Torosarus?

Yep, it is! There are some more pics here: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=4471.0

Well it sure looks a lot better than shleich's paint job. Unfortanaly that doesn't say to much but nice job, looks pretty cool.

Got two new figures last week! With the addition of only these two figures, my collection just became 500% better.

Safari feathered Tyrannosaurus:


Safari Einiosaurus:


And here they are together. Seriously love these two figures, as well as all other new Safari's for 2017 of course. Sadly I don't have the other new Safari's yet, but I'm gonna buy them all for sure!


My feathered tyrants all together:


And the ceratopsian squad:

[Roselaar]

Aren't they lovely? Can't wait to get them myself!

Nanuqsaurus, I think it will be better if you change the title of this thread, because you're collecttion is not "somewhat horrible", is simply a good collection. You have many good models.

Being facetious and self-deprecating is a sign of a healthy sense of humor.

Yeah, it's supposed to be humor. You may have noticed the title of the thread changes now and then, because it started as a 100% Schleich collection, but it gets less horrible everytime a good figure is added to the collection. In a few years, it'll be called ''Nanuqsaurus' unbelievably splendid and superior collection of pure greatness.''

Ah!

Oh! Really?! I didn't know that!!!!

I'd started too with a schleich collection! Probably the 40-50% of the users of this forum started with them

In a few years, it'll be called ''Nanuqsaurus' unbelievably splendid and superior collection of pure greatness.''

Lol!

Three Safari's added to my collection.

Coelophysis:


Psitaccosaurus, has some trouble standing because of warped feet. Seems to be very common for these new 2017 figures.


Nigersaurus:


Although the Nigersaurus is not from Safari's new 2017 figures, it's still looks really great.

[Roselaar]

With acquisitions like that, your collection is fast improving.

[Nanuqsaurus]

Normally I buy 2 or 3 dinosaurs each month, but because I didn't buy any for almost 2 months, I decided to buy 4 now as compensation. Well, most of them are very small figures, but I'm still happy with these new additions!

CollectA Metriacanthosaurus:


More feathered Tyrants! CollectA Xiangguanlong and Bistahieversor:


Safari Diplodocus:

[Jose S.M.]

Great ones! I have them all, well the Metria is on it's way

[Nanuqsaurus]

The Metriacanthosaurus is really tiny, but I guess I'm just not used to CollectA size yet Still has great detail for such a small figure!

With all these recent additions, I'm starting to run out of space for my collection. So I had to reorganize a bit. This means that the two Schleich rexies are finally retiring from my main collection, which I was planning to do anyway because I have the Safari feathered Tyrannosaurus now. I have no room for that kind of scaly monstrosities anymore! Feathered tyrants only in my collection!

[Jose S.M.]

That's a great shot of your tyrannosaurs!

[Nanuqsaurus]

More good stuff from Safari for my collection! Thanks to Everything Dinosaur for the fast and reliable delivery to The Netherlands!
My priority is replacing many of my ugly/outdated Schleich figures with better ones, mainly with Safari's and Papo's. I'm not going to replace all Schleich, because some are still very good (such as Kentrosaurus and Pentaceratops of course).

But first: a completely new addition! I didn't have any Nodosaurs in my collection yet, so here's the Safari Sauropelta. Amazing looking figure, very detailed and lifelike!


And as replacement for the Schleich Quetzalcoatlus... the Safari Quetzalcoatlus! What a surprise!


Last but definitely not least: Giganotosaurus! The weird orange Schleich Giga was starting to become a thorn in the eye, so it was time for some good replacement. And of course Safari delivers with this absolutelty freakin' wonderful figure. Really one of my favorites. Very dynamic pose, nice sculpt and paintjob, and there's a lot of weight to the figure which I really like. It looks just frightning but also natural and lifelike. Very happy to have this one in my collection!
