Boki's Collection: A short goodbye (until we meet again) 3/7/23

[Bokisaurus]

Thanks everyone
@ Adanna - I hear ya on the size/scale... but these days no one is making figures at a consistent scale anymore really. I just learned to accept it so I don't miss out on these fabulous figures
@ Concavenator - Thanks. The anklylosaurus is definitely on a different level than the four. To be fair, the animal did not have sharp points like horns, plates, spikes, etc., even the tail tip is blunted by the club. This allowed PNSO to use the same ind of hard plastic they used on their museum line. This material is harder and able to retain and capture all the minute and delicate details that are lost when using the softer rubbery material like the ones used on the other 4 figures.
So it really is more in line with the museum figures in quality and details.
It wins in that department by a landslide.

As for my favorite, I have a soft spot for ceratopsians, so I had to pick the Spinops. I am working on the review for it and the mini version right now

[Ceratopsianking]

Nice PNSO haul, These look great

[tanystropheus]

Well well, another deluge of PNSO figures have arrived! Wow, this year it seems like they have one new figure each month! How are we supposed to keep up? But I rather have that than nothing, at this point, I am addicted to PNSO

I know that this pic is a bit anachronistic but it looks rather artsy!

😂 thanks, it's what I call the "what if..?" Shot😂

[Halichoeres]

Wow, you got your Spinops and Eurhinosaurus in a hurry! Mine are still in the mail. Nice photos, they are definitely whetting my appetite.

[postsaurischian]

    Nice shots Boki! Aren't we all a bit of hooked on PNSO these days?

I'm not sure what paint PNSO use, but those eyes are so life-like and very much like a fish.

  I think they use tiny round pieces of adhesive foil.
  You can see it pretty good in these close-ups of Eurhinosaurus and Ophtalmosaurus.

     

[PlesiosaurusNessy]

Really fantastic development and improvement of your collection, I like the PNSO´s very much! The Eurhinosaurus looks fantastic, a little bit like
the fish "Blue Merlin" nowadays!

Great Collection of Marx Dinosaurs one page back, I am a fan of monochrome coloured dinosaurs as Libraraptor,too!

You might be right, its a clever idea to use something like that, it brings the figure to a whole different level!

[Bokisaurus]

Wow, you got your Spinops and Eurhinosaurus in a hurry! Mine are still in the mail. Nice photos, they are definitely whetting my appetite.

They arrived 1 week earlier than the Spino who I ordered 1 week earlier! I'm not sure why the customs on my first orders always take longer

Hey there, welcome back!
Always great to  hear from you
yeah, those vintage one have so much appeal to them. I am rounding up my others like my Linde,Nabisco to do the part 2

[Bokisaurus]

Well, the wait is finally over!
The last group of 2019 CollectA have landed, thanks to Minizoo
Fabulous figures all around, really an impressive year from CollectA!

Elasmotherium - Wow, my favorite prehistoric rhino figure ! This is truly one of the most impressive mammal figure out there ! Its huge, really big. I was not prepared when I saw it in person.
Great sculpting and details. The fur really capture the thick and damp feel, like what you see on Maskox or Bison.
Absolutely wonderful figure and surely will be the star in any prehistoric mammal collection.
So happy that CollectA finally made one of this species!
As you can see, it dwarf the Safari woolly rhino, the other new rhino for 2019

Baryonly - - I like this figure, its different, but unmistakable for sure. Lovely details and great to see the added hump on the back for a change. A very long figure and goes nicely with the large Spino.
[]

Fukuiraptor - An obscure dino from Japan. Great to see another version of this species. Nice figure, Ilike it a lot. It has great details and v very active pose. The curvature on the body is nice and elegant flow to it.
[]

The mini mammals - Like the previous mini sets, this one is also nice and surprisingly detailed for their size. I was amazed that the Kelenken is able to stand!
[]

Dama Gazzelle - As you know, I antelopes are one of my favorite group of extant animals. I collect them, so I was very excited to see Collecta make a figure of this endangered and obscure species.
Beautiful and very elegant looking like all of CollectA's antelopes and other ungulates. When it comes to this group, CollectA is a the master! I am still hoping the they would make some of the prehistoric ones, that would be so awesome!
[]

Mike whale - I don't really collect much whale figures, but I really like this one.

The group

Well that that for CollectA's 2019! What an amazing group, I can't wait to see what surprises they have for 2020

[Fenestra]

Oh my! That Elasmotherium is a MONSTER!    It's so big!
I'm a little dissapointed with the Baryonyx to be honest. Personally I don't like the scaly rows on its body and that movable jaw must be the ugliest one CollectA ever made. It looks okay when the mouth is open, but it leaves a strange gap when it's closed.
Oh well, they can't all be winners. 
I totally forgot about the extant animals still to be released for this year!
They look wonderful.

[Shonisaurus]

Collecta's elasmotherium will be difficult for any brand of toy dinosaurs and even collectors to unseat it from the pedestal.

On the other hand Collecta baryonyx I have been unfortunately a bit disappointed is a beautiful figure and is beautifully sculpted but even comparing it with the carnotaurus of Collecta is a very small figure.

The fukuiraptor of Collecta I like but in this case I prefer the other brands.

The miniatures of prehistoric mammals is fabulous and I overlook the other figures of Collecta.

My impression is outstanding in relation to elasmotherium, remarkably low with respect to baryonyx (by its size) and approved with respect to fukuiraptor, but I honestly count the days for the Museum of Natural Sciences to sell them, especially the elasmotherium and baryonyx.
Thank you for showing us the Boki pictures are fabulous!

[PhilSauria]

More great images of more great models - I agree with you about the quality of CollectA's Antelopes, I have quite a few of theirs among my extant animal collection.

I have that Elasmosaurus on layby with Mini Zoo and seeing these pix makes me look forward to it's eventual arrival onto my shelves - looks like the other ancient Rhinos are going to have the step well back to make room for it!, and the Safari Missing Link will no longer be my largest hairy horned Rhino.

Don't think I'll be adding the Baryonyx but the Carnotaurus is on the (long) list for later this year. The items on that list keep getting bumped further down every time PNSO releases something new! Thanks for posting these.

[Concavenator]

It's funny how CollectA states all their Deluxe models at 1:40 scale.

I don't know if it's the angle, but that Baryonyx looks absolutely tiny next to the Carnotaurus 

[Jose S.M.]

I think I read that the Bary is actually close to 1:40 but the Carno is more like 1:30 ish like the Safari one. The angle might add some of the difference but if they were in the same scale they should be closer in size, the difference is very noticiable.

[Killekor]

Thanks for the photos Bokisaurus!
I'm happy to see that the Elasmotherium has finally been released! I had hogs expectations from it, and I've been not deluded. It's really one of the most epic prehistoric animal figures ever made!

Killekor

[Bokisaurus]

The Bary is really smaller than the Carno, but they are almost the same length wise. I hope this shows it better, the second photo they are on the same line and better show the difference in size. I don't really care much for scale these days, no one really is consistent anymore
[]
And a couple more pics just to show how big this rhino is! and he is on the back i n both photos
[]
Cheers!

[Shonisaurus]

The baryonyx of Collecta was more majestic its prototype in the catalog of that brand than its real image in comparative photos. It is a beautiful figure but I would have liked it to be very big.

On the other hand the elasmotherium of Collecta is immense it is a complete titan! Thank you for the comparative photographs of both figures Bokisaurus are two beautiful acquisitions for any collection.

[Ceratopsianking]

Nice collecta figures, I really like that Baryonyx
