Roselaar's Collection Version 1: 2012-2017

[Jetoar]

Wondeful acquisitions  . The next week they are arrive some of my new little tresaures of my collection  .

[Roselaar]

Another batch of recent acqs:

Dino Horizons dino fetus. No egg or accessories. An odd find on a flea market if you've never heard of these before. And I got it for free.

Some lovely new Collectasaurs. The Dax is bigger than I thought it would be. Almost a deluxe model.

But this is definitely Collecta's finest release this year. So bold and inspired and big! I sincerely hope we'll be seeing more Supreme models in the future.

And then there's this big lot. Kaiyodo, Favorite, Collecta, some good old Schleich and Bullyland. What's not to like here?

[Roselaar]

Another batch of recent acqs:

Massive JW haul, mostly exclusive figures. Some of the better Hasbro sculpts (not necessarily good, but at least not abysmally bad like some others) are found here.

JW Raptor Growlers. Finally, Hasbro remembered to attach the trademark sickle claws.

Actually good dinosaur sculpts, Battat Terra. I totally love the Acro's paint scheme. The Rex's less so, but still a fabulous figure.

Sega DK and Happinet figures. Some lovely species here.

Always a pleasure watching your collection grow and grow - with great choices I very often would have made, too!

I get the feeling most forum members wouldn't agree with that sentiment when it comes to JW (and I can fully understand that). But hey, hence all the non JW figures to balance things out a bit.

This too arrived in recent months:

Collecta's wonderful threesome of Spinosaurs and two tubes filled with lovely figures (like an Apatosaurus they need to make a 1:15 scale model of ).

And more. One of the finest Rexes currently on the market. And a decent Safari figure.

Plus some delightful Papo repaints that ought to have seen wider distribution. Thankfully they're only repaints.

Well, add some cushions and that would make a wonderful sofa!

I like that idea. Considering Collecta's diversity, this would be an interesting new direction for them. After all, whos to say dinosaurs didn't use to sit on other dinosaurs back in the days?

[LophoLeeVT]

wow i am really envious of you!!!!!

[Roselaar]

Some more JW stuff I got in the past few months:

Stomp & Strike T-Rex. This one ain't so bad, but a far cry from the big Kenner Rexes.

Lockdown Play set. Worse Rex figure ever packed together with a feeble resculpt of classic Kenner parts. But neat box art.

Titan Raptors on heavy discount. It's not the sculpts that are bad, it's the lack of sickle claws and their dull paint jobs. I've seen some excellent customisations of these three, which make them look terrific.

Bashers/Biters and Playskool minisaurs on clearance. Best price for them.

Plus some good, non JW figures to close. Excelletn T-Rexes, the dead one showing some guts (get it?), plus neat Mercuriceratops and decent Torvosaurus.

[LophoLeeVT]

good!

Interesting that you posted the JW toys on the one year anniversary of the movie's release.

I could say it was an intentional move on my part, but that would be a lie. I first saw JW on June 11th last year, so the exact birthday date is off for me anyway.

[docronnie]

So sad the JW toys were not at par with their predecessors.  Hope to pick some up in Christmas at the bargain bin. 

Congrats on your new acquisitions!

I both love and hate JW toys.
Love:
JW got me back into dinosaurs and collecting dinosaur models. If it weren't for JW I wouldn't have found this forum and I wouldn't have interest in dinosaurs/prehistoric creatures. 
Hate:
It's been a year since JW and looking back, These JW toys SUCK. I probably wasted $90+ just in JW toys when I could've spent that amount of money on CollectA, Safari, Kaiyodo, Dinosaur Games... JW toys have inaccurate and unattractive designs, cheap materials and sloppy paint job. I wish I could go back in time and not buy JW figures, oh well... 

[Roselaar]

I wish I could go back in time and not buy JW figures, oh well... 

But would you still have found out about these forums in that scenario? Or was it only the movie itself which made you find your way here?

[CityRaptor]

I have similar feelings of regret about buying JP3 stuff.

Anyways, Roselaar, how well is your S&S T.rex? Pretty much everyone I saw in store had tears in the "skin" around the neck.

A little bit of both. On one hand I'm grateful to have found this wonderful forum (without trolls), but on the other I still wished I didn't spend $90+ on JW figures.

It's better tha most, I reckon. No tears yet. I've heard it develops over time on its own accord though...

Some more recently acquired figures:



Got this lot for the steal price of 90 bucks. You'll notice which figure makes that a terrific deal. The lot originally came with like 150 present day animal figures from various lines, but to keep shipping costs down I let the seller keep those. The brown Carnegie Rex was a nice surprise, as it featured a different paint job than my own, and I didn't know that variation existed until then.


Traded these for several other dinosaur toys with new forum member stargatedalek. My Battat collection (and my Playskool collection, too) is finally picking up some speed. Still, it's gonna be a long, long road to get them all...

Whats the big dino on the right side, it looks like a bigger verion of jobaria from collecta. Can u say the company name i never saw this before.
