UKRD knock-offs. JP die-hards will recognize the Parasaurolophus features the same paint job as the die-cast metal JPS1 Parasaur.

A shortlived but awesome line of action figures: Primeval. Odd mix of past and future creatures with lots of poseability. Still one of the coolest Raptor action figures around! I wish both this line and the show it was based on would have continued longer than it did...

The show was alright, but the toys were great. I could take or leave all the humans, but the creatures...

Some JPS2 vehicles, including the rare Capture Cruiser, which is nigh impossible to find in undamaged condition (something I have not succeeded at myself either). Fortunately we got a second chance via the much less sought after repaint for the Congo toy line (you know, the ape movie).

The lovely Linde-saurs. Since completed.

[Roselaar]

Larger UKRD figures. Nothing special here.

Very cool, congrats!

[Roselaar]

Various early Chap Mei figures. They got better.

[Roselaar]

Bunch of rare JPs2 dinosaurs. Have since also acquired a MOC Baryonyx.

[Roselaar]

Various old large Chinasaurus. The red Edaphosaurus (because that's what it says it's supposed to be on its belly) was actually one of my very first prehistoric animal toys, at age 3. Good memories! 

[Lanthanotus]

Edaphosaurus? You needn't say that, recognized it immidiatly
Where do you buy all that JP stuff? You buy it in stacks or are those pics showing what you collected in months or even years?

It's a collection 20 years in the making. Remember, I am relisting my existing collection pics that got lost thanks to Photobucket, I don't post newly acquired stuff yet. I got the JP stuff from stores, sites and mostly eBay. Back when it was still affordable to get a complete collection. 

Here's some nice vintage Invictasaurs on card. Love the retro packaging.

[CityRaptor]

Retrotastic!

Back when it was still affordable to get a complete collection. 

Yeah, nowadays people try to sell this stuff for crazy prices. Even the JW stuff. Some things even sell for those, a lot however just overpriced and no one buys them, causing the same stuff to be listed again and again.

After all these years I never knew that Invictas came in packaging like that!  Thanks for sharing!

I've seen Invictasaurs in many different packaging, including these carded figures, boxed single figures and boxes of multiple figures. I've only seen the medium sized figures like mine in this carded packaging though. I doubt any of the bigger figures were ever sold like this.

Another classic (and by now very expensive) JPs2 figure. I've since acquired another boxed sample. You know, just because.

[Roselaar]

More of that most classic line, Invicta! The childhood memories I have for some of these... 

[Roselaar]

Some more larger old Chinasaurs. The black Triceratops and brown T-Rex were also some of my very first dinosaur toys at a very young age.

[Lanthanotus]

Your collection is a real treasure trove, but while some of it makes me envy, others make me want to not having seen them .... well, sorry for that, I myself grew up with a mix of Marx knockoff dinosaurs and Japanese whatsoever monsters aka dinosaurs.

I can relate to you with the Marx knockoffs, and I still have some of them!

[Roselaar]

Yeah, I know your feelings. For every awesome quality dinosaur there's scores of ugly monstrosities.

Invictasaurus are not among the latter, obviously:
