Two of Collecta's lesser recent attempts. Not terrible but just not very appealing either.



Shonisaurus

The diabloceratops and daspletosaurus are from the same year 2013. I recognize that Collecta's daspletosaurus is not the daspletosaurus that I hope it will someday make a toy dinosaur company.

On the other hand, Collecta's diabloceratops is of lower quality than other later figures such as nasutoceratops, regaliceratops and Collecta's einiosaurus.

Colelcta Deluxe Parasaurolophus. Lovely figure, but not as elegant as, say, the Favorite specimen.


Shonisaurus

The Collecta parasaurolophus of the year 2013 is undoubtedly one of the best lambeosaurid hadrosaurs made to date. I think that figure is based on the famous hadrosaur nicknamed "Dakota" found in the US and that was found mummified and that showed that dinosaurs had more body volume than previously believed, although I also have to say that I like more Paleoartistic interpretations of Favorite or Safari to give two examples.

Some classic, scientifically accurate (well, back in the days) books on prehistoric varmints:


Shonisaurus

I am glad you have collected those magnificent books of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. In my case I have four of the six books in Spanish version among them the encyclopedia of pterosaurs.

A wonderful assortment of Collecta plants with a lovely Pachycephalosaurus, which used to be able to stand up straight but which is now posed face flat on the floor...


Shonisaurus

Magnificent representations paleoartísticas of prehistoric plants by Collecta and scientists. The only thing I would have wished were all of the same size as Collecta's Cycad tree, both Williamsonia and Monanthesia and Cycadeoidea.

Roselaar

Hasbro JP III vehicles. I dislike the jeep (too heavy and elaborate), but the others are actually very decent.

More flea market finds from a few years back. I got real lucky this day.  :)



Shonisaurus

I congratulate you Roselaar for your new acquisitions but I want to ask you a question: to which companies does the ankylosaurus and the mammoth belong? I do not know them in the toy market.

I am really a great fan of your collection, your thread and like all your dinos very much!

Paleontology: Science for the love to dinosaurs!

Correct on the Mammoth, but the Euplocephalus is from DeAgostini. It does have the AAA style to it, I'll give you that.

Some of Hasbro's better JP III sets. One of them is only good because of its Kenner parts. The other is a pretty awesome large Spinosaurus, albeit a fragile one.


Roselaar

Large batch of Dinoz. Love them or hate them. They're pretty silly, I know, but there's some very inspired species choices here.

A few lovely but completely imposeable poseable dinosaurs:

Some damn fine Safari figures from a few years back. The Gryposaurus is a real gem.
