More big Chinasaurs and a Thunderbeasts Dilophosaurus:

[CityRaptor]

Oh, I used to have that Raptor and her babies.

Oh, I used to have that Raptor and her babies.

It's a lovely trio, isn't it? I'm not entirely sure they're babies though, they look identical to the big one, just smaller. No juvenile characteristics.

[Reptilia]

I used to have those chinasaurs from the previous page, the Edaphosaurus, Ankylosaurus and Stegosaurus. Although I couldn't remember they had names printed on their underside, in fact I was sure the red one was a Dimetrodon. So many playtime memories!

[Roselaar]

Bunch of rare JPS2 larger dinosaurs. Have since added another Utahraptor and a third T-Rex. 

[Lanthanotus]

Oh, Junior Rexes in Battat T. rex colors, didn't know of that ones.

Never noticed that, but their are definitely similarities. Both Rexes were released around the same time.

A few more Invictasaurs:

[Libraraptor]

  Good old Invictas!

[Reptilia]

How big are these guys compared to Papos? I mean the Brachiosaurus and the other sauropod (Diplodocus, Apatosaurus or Brontosaurus that is) compared with Papo counterparts.

They're more or less in the same scale as the Papo Sauropods. Invicta Brachiosaurus is roughly the same size as its Papo counterpart, Apatosaurus slightly bigger.

[Reptilia]

Thanks, I didn't realize Invicta dinos were so big.

[Roselaar]

Kids' stuff:

[PhilSauria]

Just on the Invictas; I found the Apatosaur just too pale and ghostly so I ended up painting it to match the painted version. Never going to sell it so resale value issues were not a concern (the paint would probably wash off if I changed my mind, in fact these things are so smooth I was surprised that the paint went on in the first place.) Good selection there, especially if you are at all fond of Sauropods. If I ever see a Mamanch for the right price I'll get that one eventually.

On to TLW. You can never have enough of Jeff Goldblum:

[CityRaptor]

"See, here I am now, by myself, talking to myself. That's Chaos Theory!"

[Roselaar]

Lots of small dinosaurs, the kind you still find cheaply in toy stores everywhere.

[Shonisaurus]

Those little miniatures of dinosaurs remind me with nostalgia of my childhood when I bought my first dinosaurs at ridiculous prices back in the seventies in the shops of nuts and chips. What times! Who caught that time!

[Roselaar]

Chap Mei's Dino Valley 2. THis is where CM started to produce better figures than the Hasbro JP III line they were shamelessly emulating. CM has since stayed fairly consistent, while Hasbro has only gone further down the drain... 

[Roselaar]

Lots of Vince Vaughns. Yeah, not always the most attractive actor, I know.

[Roselaar]

Anyone care for some good old fashioned screamer Chinasaurs? My, they are gloriously awful, aren't then?
