I just hope that the Spinosaurus will be more sturdy than ol rexy.  He tends to topple over quite often due to heat warpage, though if left laying on his side, his legs reset and he can sit back on the base for maybe a day. :-\
I'm excited for REBOR's Acro!  Can't ya tell?

There is a very simple solution.  Just go on ebay and find 1/8" clear plastic rods.  I bought them from this guy: http://www.ebay.com/usr/plasticguy14?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754

Then cut one down to size so that it fits snuggly between the base and the inside of the right leg of the TRex.  I live in a very hot climate in the Summer, and this has given "Wilson" the support he needs to stay perfectly erect, no matter how hot it gets.

This is a problem with PVC in general, but the solution is pretty easy to administer and is hardly even visible....

I like it when they name them. I named my one of a Kind models. But i never resort too some stupid stuff like "Wind Hunter" or "Sentry" like a certain other company does(which BTW seems to be influencing PNSO it seems)

I'd rather have "Wind Hunter" and "Sentry" for names than "Wilson". The latter is far too human for me to take it seriously as a name for any dinosaur that's not a captive bird. The former sound more like titles, or if we're going to go the anthropomorphic route, translations of what the dinosaur is called by members of its own species.

Perhaps im the only one who names there Dinosaurs as if they were Pets/Individuals at a Zoo
Lol I also name my dinosaurs I find it rather sad that they sit on the shelf without an affectionate name.

The carnotaurus head bust, no signs of stegosaurus

Got my Doyle today.
Way better than I thought. Well done in every way except the demonic raccoon eyes.

Big correction here: The formal English name is "Doyle", not "Dolly".
I speculated "Dolly" based on its Chinese name before "Doyle" is officially announced.
My deepest apologies.





While the adults are obsessed by the crazy war fiend battling each other, the babies look extremely peaceful and innocent nevertheless.

That's quite amusing (but not something to apologise over!)  "Dolly" sounds to me like a very solid, calm horse - the sort that might pull a cart or be ridden by a beginner.  "Doyle" sounds somehow tougher.  Nice photos, especially victorious over the Tyrannosaurus rex!

How large are these figures themselves without boxes?

Shonisaurus

Although I am not in favor of giving excessive coloration or ornament to the dinosaurs, the colorful skull of the triceratops, especially his steering wheel is what I like the most.  8) I would like to sell amargasaurus and mamenchisaurus of this brand among other figures, are exceptional.

Does anyone want to lay odds whether this was a scam or legit? This was the only item from a first-time seller, and the email linked to the paypal was a string of gibberish letters @yahoo.com But I figure for $30, it was worth the risk since I can file for a refund after 30 days.

Be careful. I bought something recently for an unbelievable bargain from a Chinese seller. I paid but the item never arrived. I tried to get a refund but the seller had deleted his eBay account, so then I was SOL.

If the official price on China Post website is 298 yuan (44 USD) + shipping ( http://jiyou.retail.11185.cn/retail/ticketDetail_51385.html ),  it's quite strange that a private ebayer could sell the same item for a lesser price with FREE shipping.
Personally I wouldn't buy from him....

USD30 would be just enough for postage...
Got mine today.
This thing weighs 2.5kg

Cedar Rapids?
That's where I am.
And no way anyone can get stock of this so quickly in the middle of cornfields.

Shonisaurus

If you are a seller with the qualification of excellent you have no problems at the time of your shipment and in case you do not arrive you ask for the refund. To me, fortunately, 100% of all shipments have come to me from british, french, german, american, chinese and japanese merchants and all have been quite serious.

I would risk it, and what is said on eBay will always return the money.

I figure it's most likely a scam, mainly because of the price, as Robin notes. But like Shoni says, probably worth the risk since I'm like to get my money back from ebay.

That makes three of us. ;) Although I'm in Swisher/Shueyville, which isn't too far from CR. And yes, stock doesn't get out in the cornfields quick enough... unless its Schleich, because apparently thats the only company in this state that gets new figures here the quickest... Whereas Safari seem to not get restocked ever, and Papo are near extinct in Iowa... I only know one store that sells them, and all they have are Allosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Wild Boars... And never have new stuff.
