Alvin's Dinosaurs

[alvingkh1979]

Hi,
I have been enthralled by dinosaurs since I was a little boy and the fascination has not waned even as I approach middle age.
They have grown with me through the years, from scaly tail draggers to resplendent and active animals.   
One thing that has remained constant: they will be as much of an enigma to me in my twilight as they did all those years ago.
I wish to show you my dinosaurs, most of which are purchased after I learnt about this forum.
The reviews have been particularly helpful and of course the ease with which we may obtain items from foreign shores presently must be mentioned.
Enough words, here is a preview of what I have...



All of these are presents from people who are dearest to me... Some are from my childhood and some are pretty recent.



Non-dinosaur Kaiyodos and the like.... purchased online and from brick and mortar shops both local and overseas.



Kaiyodo dinosaurs and some Furuta and Takara Tomy.... also purchased online and from brick and mortar shops both local and overseas.

Oh, more good stuff! And the ironically named "The Good Dinosaur"...it's like the Carnegie Brachio looks down at him in disappointment.

Hi Alvin!
This is an impressive collection!
Where did you get all these cambric animals (Hallucigenia,...) and paleozoic fishes (Cephalaspis,...)? They are very rare and hard to get!

[alvingkh1979]

Hi Geraldopithecus,

I was lucky to find most of them in a local toyshop some years ago.
I think you should be able to find them for sale on various online sites now

That's a very impressive collection and nicely displayed.

  Well organized!

To me this is the most beautiful of the many SEGA Prize Triceratops colour schemes.

Thanks for posting the pics, they look great.

O like your collection very much. The IKEA cabinets are really good for presenting the items. I like the combination with some Star Wars stuff, too.

Hmm, a great many dinosaur collectors seem to be SW fans aswell .... nice collection Alvin, may I ask what are the sauropods down in the middle section of the shelf? I think I recognize two Favorite (Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus) and the Safari Apatosaurus, but what are those other two?

[alvingkh1979]

Hi Lanthanotus,

From left to right:
Favourite Apatosaurus (Soft Model series 1) - Kabaya Seismosaurus - Favourite Brachiosaurus (Soft Model series 2) - Favourite Brachiosaurus (Soft Model series 1) - Wild Safari Apatosaurus
