Libraraptor - To be fair, I think the two Diplos on the bottom row are the same color. One just spent a lot of years out in the sandbox and got pretty abraded and bleached. "Loved," as the Velveteen Rabbit would say. Archinto - While some of my incidentals don't fit into a specific dinosaur species collection I aim for, some are obviously intentional. For those that aren't, I'm more than happy to part with to another esteemed collector.

MAKE SOME NOISE!!! Here come the screamers. I tried collecting them all, but they're from so many different decades and countries, and the variants are so slight that I found this task impossible. I don't actively seek them out anymore, but here's what I accumulated:

The whole herd


Theropods


Dimetrodons


Ankylosaurs


Stegosaurs


Ceratopsians


Bigg'uns

And here's some new brass I roped in from across the pond.

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Archinto

Looks like your "choir" has a lot more little high pitched voices than my "choir" of big boys! LOL Nice assortment of screamers there, many of those I have or have had through my life. Memories! :3
I'm seeking Orsenigo and other interesting vintage dinosaurs. Contact me if you can help with my search!

The way you have arranged them is so aesthetically pleasing!

Bokisaurus

Nice vintage collection, I love the old Marx and Ajax figures.
The Krono circle is awesome, who would have thought there were that many colors!
I'm very impressed with you acquiring a couple of the clay prototypes, now that truly impressive!😃

Halichoeres

A kaleidoscope of Kronosauruses, a panoply of pliosaurs! Very impressive.

Cenozoic Fauna

That looks super cool! Surprised by the variety of colors for those figures, great collection of plesiosaurs.

In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.

Quite an incorrigible one, I would say, so thank you! 😂

Due to the difficulty of posting photos on this site I rarely do so since I ditched a computer years ago, but I'm making an exception since I just found something very special, and it arrived on my birthday this week. When I was in preschool I saw a picture of an Elasmosaurus fighting a Tylosaurus in a coloring book and I was captivated by it. It got me interested in marine reptiles and inadvertently planted the collecting bug. I've purchased about 10 dinosaur coloring books from the late 1980's-early 1990's and finally found the one I've been searching for. It's got some other cool stuff as well, like Climatius, Coelacanthus, Alticamelus and Notharctus.

It's always a blast rediscovering something from your childhood. Congratulations!

You know what, I am. I used to be in an adult coloring club where we'd meet at a bar once a month and color in coloring books. I enjoy doing art of all kinds.

Hermisaurus

Nice collection. I have the Battat Ouranosaurus but I really want to get the Haolonggood one.

Accomplished something big today: putting up the last of the shelves in my new collections room. We bought a house near the end of the year last year, and one requirement I had was that I get my own room to display all my collections. Now shelves span its 14 ft. walls. The moving process took much longer than I expected, as I spent a few months moving my stuff to the new place and several more getting the old place in list-worthy condition. I cleared out my storage unit a couple weeks ago and now have all my possessions in one place for the first time in years. Over the next week or so I'll be putting the figures up and finally curating my collection. Next on the docket are my long-awaited reviews of the Marx T. rex and Kronosaurus. I appreciate your patience. Cool things on the horizon! 🥳
