BrontoScorpio's Recent Acquisitions & finds ( Please Don't Quote Pictures !!! )

[BrontoScorpio]

Another medal - this time even of higher prestige -

no. 26 - Triceratops- pure silver medal :



As might be guessed from the information sheet holding the coin - this came from a complete Album :



A dedicated set to the
100th anniversary of the opening of the National Museum ( 国立博物館開館 100年記念  )
Paleontology Series "Dinosaurs"  ( 古生物シリーズ「恐竜」 )
fine art pure silver medal collection  ( 美術純銀メダルコレクション )
by Ikuo Kobatake Matsumoto Emblem ( 小畠郁生 松本徽章 )
limited album 50 types set of 18g x 50 sheets



Of course the complete album is impossible to find, or to afford if any ...

But, I do hope to come accross some more individual coins such as :



or those  :

[BrontoScorpio]

More than 3 years of search since I first notice these items - and I finaly managed to grab some :

3 Ceramic dinosaurs of 'Hai Feng Ma' sold by 'The nature company' :



From the back :




Other than what is written on the under side and what I found on Don Glut's page - I wasn't able to discover any additional information.
That is a shame - because the set is addorable and unique - and I wonder is there any more dinosaurs in it ...

[SidB]

That's unique. And a Dromaeosaurus too!

[Libraraptor]

Congrats!

[BrontoScorpio]

Coming back after few months of silence ...

Got this latest figures from Japan -
The official capsule figures and Figure set Box of the  2023 Dinosaur Expo ( 恐竜博2023  )
held at the National Museum of Nature and Science ( 国立科学博物館 )

Am I the first to have them in hand ? ...
It seems so - but For the 2023 Expo Catalog which arrived later.





First, the Official capsule figures ( オフィシャルカプセルフィギュア ) :



After assembling - 3 dinosaurs :

○ Zulu ( ズール )
○ Maipu ( マイプ )
○ Tyrannosaurus ( ティラノサウルス )




Next - the Kaiyodo figure box set ticket ( 海洋堂フィギュアボックスセット券 ) :




Inside the Box :




figures are in a special color inspired by jade. © Royal Ontario Museum :





3 figures without the skeletons :



The box reminds me the last box from The 2019 Dino Expo - they have many expos there in Japan :






Both empty boxes :



The 6 Boxed figures together :




Come to think of it - the capsule figures of 2023 also resemble the 2019 capsule figures -

They use the same stand - and I do think the T-rex has the same mold, just different color :





So, one last group shot of the all :




And onto the Shelf :

[BrontoScorpio]

3 More PNSO Dinosaurs -




- Suchomimus
- Therizinosaurus
- Deinocheirus



Therizinosaurus and Deinocheirus are perfectly aligned with each other :



Suchomimus would fit Sinopliosaurus from previous wave :



And the posters :

[BrontoScorpio]

Got this hefty 1 kg bunch of Resin pieces :



11 pieces in display -




And the other side :



In the middle of Much cleaning and drilling needed -



And there it is - the complete statue :



Creative Beast Studio 1/30 Acrocanthosaurus ( Ver. 1, Discontinued )  :



From the side :



Look how fierce he is - looking down on it's prey Sauropelta  :



The whole scene rediates power - the way thismuscular body rotates while in the middle of jumping to the air :



Strong tail for balance :




Next to my other 'Creative Beasts' dinosaurs by David Silva :



In conclusion - I just felt later I needed to add some fiery color schemes examples - suited for this wonderful sculpt:

[postsaurischian]

    Congrats! Very nice acquisition. Here's my garrattized version (no Sauropelta as well).

[BrontoScorpio]

Yes, I am familiar with your Acrocanthosaurus.
I would never dream of out competing the great Martin Garratt ...
Do you happen to know, by any chance, if your copy of the statue also had the 3 upper parts in different color or material like mine is ?

[postsaurischian]

Do you happen to know, by any chance, if your copy of the statue also had the 3 upper parts in different color or material like mine is ?

I can remember this clearly. It was among my first resin models and I tried to build it up myself.
I mercilessly failed (I don't even have the tools you need to do that) and sent it to Martin whom I just got to know a few weeks before.
All parts were as white as your head is.

 correction: The base was kind of yellowish.

[BrontoScorpio]

Got these various Ceramic dinosaurs from all over the world almost at the same time :




These lovely petite dinos seem to originate in Thailand, may belong to 'Siam Ceramics' - Ceramic and Porcelain Miniature Figurines :



From what I saw, the set combined of 6 different animals - each has several different postures  :




Next are 'WADE' dinosaur set of 5 figures from the UK :



And this miniature set by 'Faro' Italy :



Next to the big size version Diplodocus I once got :



These two from Germany are, I think, part of a chess board, because they sit on a heavy barbell :



Also from Germany - these two Clay\Polyresin dinos :



Some of the set still can be found on Urzeitshop :


My set of 9 out of 12 :



And some old Porcelain figures from Japan :



My pottery shelf is all but full by now :

[BrontoScorpio]

As for the last set from previous post yet to be described -
Daiso ( ダイソー ) miniature dinosaur series ( ミニチュア  恐竜シリーズ ) polyresin figurines  ( ポリレジン 置物 )
out from an 11 figures set :




And while I was looking for the 'Daiso' dinosaurs, I stumbled across other Daiso dinosaurs :

This pack of 6 'Lego' like dinosaurs - I bought to my nephew -
which have prooven to be much more difficult to assemble than the regular Legos we all know :



This set of Rubber dinosaur erasers by Daiso :

[ceratopsian]

I like the inclusion of the tree against rock element in the Daiso series.  Vegetation is so often overlooked.

[BrontoScorpio]

Yes, There was also a 'Waterfall' ( 滝 ) that had this same aesthetic, which I was unable to get ( along with the Steg )

[BrontoScorpio]

These 2 cute fellas are an addition of color variants to my Ü-ei Dinosaur collection :



3 trikes and 2 Ankylos :



Actually the seller had many more colors that I wanted - But I just kept losing time after time considering the prices :

[BrontoScorpio]

I think these should also pass through as 'Ceramic' , more over since I got them along with the last bunch from Germany :
- Ceramic Display stands by 'Favorite' ( フェバリット ).

Although my Pteranodon and Plesiosaurus already have their own display solutions -
you can never know when you are going to need  another one - it is always better to have those in hand ...

[BrontoScorpio]

Got this magnificent British museum coin :



I don't know the story behind the design of this medal - but it was certainly influenced by the Invicta model :



... And then I got a different version of this coin :

[BrontoScorpio]

Speaking of Invicta models -
They have a special place in my heart for being ones I collected at first.
Here's a group shot at their shelf :



And after a rearrangement some time later :




And the color version were soon to follow :



And the rearrangement
( Hey, That's a cool game to play - find the differences ... )

[Libraraptor]

Yeah, those Invictas always and still make my heart beat a little faster. All those painted ones

[SidB]

Thanks, @BrontoScorpio, for this reminder of the value (intrinsic and nostalgic) of these pioneering figures. Here in Toronto, Canada, I used to frequently come across them in thrift shops. But no more, for several years now. I'm very glad that I recognized their worth back then (around 2008, or so) and gradually acquired my present collection. Your exhibits are a pleasant reminder of the enjoyment that I had in the gradual assembling of my Invicta collection.
