The Shonisaurus collection

[Shonisaurus]

In 2012, Collecta was going to make a spectacular leap to become one of the best toy dinosaur companies with Safari and other companies. From the following Collecta standard dinosaurs I bought the following:

The standard argentinosaurus of Collecta 2012 is a big dinosaur like all of us who have that figure and majestic at the same time and it is an improvement over its predecessors by far. A great figure.

The standard dolichoryhinchus of Collecta 2012 is a small but at the same time beautiful figure represents the marine reptile as one imagines above all that appeared in the iMax videos.

Kosmoceratops standard of Collecta 2012 figure small but sincerely and beautiful I like more its counterpart of that company utahceratops perhaps for its greater amount of details and its size.

Mapusaurus standard of Collecta 2012 I have the version with base and without base it is a great figure of my favorites but it has been replaced by the most accurate version of the mapusaurus of Collecta 2018.

Mirageia standard of Collecta 2012 is a figure that honestly does not convince me compared to Carnegie's spectacular miragaia relatively recently disappeared.

Rajasaurus standard of Collecta 2012 I still keep it with its plastic base as well as the initial figure without base of the mapusaurus and tyrannosaurus with prey (struthiomimus) standard of Collecta 2012. I would like a more updated version and above all with a base if the reissue as not.

Tyrannosaurus with prey (struthiomimus) I have it with base and without base I like more the new versions of tyrannosaurus feathered of Collecta.

Corpus triceratops standard of Collecta 2012 is one of my favorite figures along with the corpse of stegosaurus and tyrannosaurus (perhaps the best finished of the three figures of dead dinosaurs).

Therizinosaurus standard of Collecta 2012 I bought it in a store in Atocha (a neighborhood) that sold it and in a way I betrayed the trust to my store of all life that of the Museum of Natural Sciences.

And obviously the standard male and female Collecta 2012 neardenthales that came in some sealed plastic boxes if the memory does not fail me.

That year was magnificent, in fact the Megacerops Deluxe of Collecta 2012 would be the figure of prehistoric animal best valued that year by the prestigious magazine Prehistoric Times.

2013 was a painful year for me because of the loss of a family member I loved a lot after a long and painful illness and unfortunately it was not the only black year in my personal and family life and friendships (unfortunately I have been chaining from the year 1989 a series of losses almost followed and painful of an average of two or three relatives independently that the misfortunes in my case have been positive to settle down as a person and value life more) and as the misfortunes do not come alone, in this case that year was little fertile in terms of production of Collecta dinosaurs since as The company had members in this case who were employed as pregnant and had limited the number of figures (we must bear in mind that still this year we were still globally with a dramatic and precarious economic situation.
That year among the standard figures I bought the following figures of the year 2012 and 2013.

Daspletosaurus standard de Collecta 2013 figure of tyrannosaurus quite weak from my point of view or maybe my opinion does not convince me very much, to be honest, although we must thank the Collecta company that made a member of the Tyrannosaurus family that was not tyrannosaurus rex and that except the aforementioned are quite rare in the toy market.

Diplodocus standard of Collecta 2013 is a very large figure and one of my favorites not only for its volume, considering that it is not at 1:40 scale.

Diabloceratops standard of Collecta 2013 that is a great figure and that makes a great pair with the Safari diabloceratops.

Pachycephalosaurus standard of Collecta 2013 has nothing to envy its counterparts Battat, Bullyland, Favorite or Safari for example.

Apart from that in September-October I bought the impossibility of finding them in the Natural Science Museum Store, the Collecta 2012 standard hysilophodon family and Collecta 2012's family of standard koreaceratops are two small works of art and are for me a complete whim. I have them on my bedside table as an ornament.

On the other hand I bought the trees of Williansonia and Monanthesia and Cycadeoidea (gorgeus and really cool miniatures) that are in my best bookshelves) the two of the year 2012. I bought them at the store shop.modellpferdeversand.de

In 2014 it was quite good in figures of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals,

Bistahieversor standard of Collecta 2014 is one of my first good tyrannosaurs made by the company Collecta I like their colors and their feathered appearance.

Gastonia standard of Collecta 2014 is a small but bulky figure, in general terms it is a great figure, you see every year the steps of giants that the company Collecta gives in terms of production of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals in general.

Ichthyovenator standard of Collecta 2014 is a very well finished figure and most importantly an avant-garde and obscure figure in the sense that it is very little treated in the toy market and combines apart from being obscure figure the innovative features of Collecta to realize dinosaurs whose discoveries They are relatively recent or very up-to-date.

Mosasaurus standard de Collecta 2014 is an outstanding or honorary figure as I always say big, beautiful and cheap for the work of art that encloses that magnificent figure pity that Collecta's tylosaurus was not as bright as its reviewed counterpart.

Utahceratops standard of Collecta 2014 I am surprised by its ivory colors and its details is the only figure of that spectacular ceratopsid that I have to date.

Xenoceratops standard of Collecta 2014 is an outstanding work and for high note I like in this case its black and white colors based on the artistic patterns of Collecta and the great explanations of how Anthony Besson interpreted this figure.

Tyrannosaurus standard breeding Collecta 2014 is one of my first baby dinosaurs based on serious scientific knowledge.

Collecta de stegosaurus standard de Collecta 2014 a substantial improvement over the triceratops cadaver of 2012.

Saurophaganax standard of Collecta 2014 based on a work that represents the potential of a consolidated company for several years.

In 2015, collect the following batch of Collecta standard figures:

Daxiatitan standard of Collecta 2015 a great figure that together with the argentinosaurus of the same company accompanies him on my shelves.

Collecta standard Medusaceratops 2015 is a unique figure in my collection and for me the best Collecta has done as ceratopsids along with xenoceratops, utahceratops, diabloceratops, nasutoceratops, einiosaurus and regaliceratops and obviously the top one is Colracta's styracosaurus Deluxe 2017

Xiongguanlong standard of Collecta 2015 another theropod of the family of the outstanding tyrannosaurus and with a fixed base as I like it.

Spinosaurus swimmer standard of Collecta 2015 a figure of high standing and competing with the best of the market at that time with the sauropelta of the company Safari by the great Doug Watson this figure with the other two spinosaurs shared the prize for the best dinosaur figure of 2015 by the prestigious magazine Prehistoric Times.

Spinosaurus standard standing Collecta 2015 along with the spinosaurus Deluxe and the swimmer of the same factory of the best that have been done so far in terms of dinosaurs combines and I know that I repeat and repeat genius, avant-garde and updating palaeontological knowledge.

Nasculoceratops standard of Collecta 2015 another dinosaur figure that makes a very good pair with my other Safari nasutoceratops figure.

Standard Temnodontosaurus of Collecta 2015 with breeding about to be born a great paleoartistic work.

In 2016, collect the following batch of Collecta standard figures:

Deinocheirus standard de Collecta 2016 a figure where I highlight the detail of Collecta in making a figure based on the latest paleontological discoveries and also because it is very well finished and his figure is absolutely great.

Collecta standard mercuriceratops 2016 another great figure of ceratopsid by this brand and that is the only one of that species that I own.

Tyrannosaurus rex dead standard Collecta 2016 is perhaps the best dead dinosaur figure made to date by the company.


2586/5000
Struthiomimus standard of Collecta 2016 a great figure for a very little known species in the toy market.

Tyrannosaurus rex feathered with standard base Collecta 2016 a miniature beauty of the great work of Collecta the previous year.

Lythronax with standard base of Collecta 2016 another figure of feathered tyrannosaur that combines genius, avant-garde and last paleontological discoveries.

Metriacanthosaurus with Collecta 2016 standard base a little-known megalosaurus and a beautiful and elegant figure apart from fantastic.

Apart from these figures I bought the two tubes with dinosaurs that were formed by two groups of ten dinosaurs and prehistoric animals and whose beauty can be compared to miniatures of other companies such as Battat. Well done and sincerely well finished.


In the year 2017 the batch of dinosaur figures from Collecta that I collected were the following:

Gigantspinosaurus standard of Collecta 2017 a figure by me very expected and whose details do not go unnoticed although I would have liked the figure to be with other colors.

Einiosaurus and Collecta 2017 standard regaliceratops two fabulous ceratopsids that make a very good pair with their Safari counterparts and that can be figures as females or their offspring.

Excalibosaurus standard of Collecta 2017 a luxury figure despite its small size and that for that reason knows little, we would need like many other versions of XL or deluxe size.

And obviously the tube of prehistoric marine animals of which I highlight the prehistoric fish, the archelon, the ammonites and the olenoids (which makes a very good pair in my shelves with your favorite counterpart.


In this year 2018 I collected on May 13 the following figures of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals,

Sciurumimus standard of Collecta 2018 a figure that I already explained in the forum that I thought was the weakest due to its size or that was not my favorite but now it is one of the best of this year, is in my favorite showcase with the best dinosaurs.

Better to see it physically than in photos and promotional videos.

Mantellisaurus standard of Collecta 2018 is a great figure beautifully sculpted and everything I mention above about the sciurumimus is applicable to this beautiful and at the same time elegant figure.

Dunkleosteus Deluxe by Collecta 2018 is a figure that must be seen in person and analyzed. All comparison is hateful but I emphasize above all that it has scars of fights with other members of its recommended species.

Iguanodon Deluxe of Collecta 2018 one of my favorite figures of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals this year and I have only to say on my part.

Finally the mapusaurus of Collecta 2018 although it is much better to one hundred percent than its counterpart in the same factory is still not completely convinced.

So far I have related my purchases of standard dinosaurs.
I also have some bones collection figures that I keep in the bookstore.

I have the tooth of the triceratops, the tooth and claw of the allosaurus, the tooth of the tyrannosaurus rex and the tooth & foot claw of velociraptor.

For now I have these figures from Collecta now we have to wait until September in my case so that in the Museum of Natural Sciences Store they can tell me about the latest news from Collecta 2018. 

[Shonisaurus]

Today I will comment on how I got the figures of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals of the Bullyland brand.

In 1995 I found in a toy store and collectible figures dinosaur figures that interested me especially the pteranodon and I began to collect the following figures of Bullyland that I make a relationship with.

Pteranodon for me along with Favorite's pteranodon of the best that has been done in the toy market on this figure and without despising the exceptional figure of Collecta that along with Collecta's tyrannosaurus is the best thing that has been done.

Dilophosaurus version of the 90s is a version for that time pretty cool and I do not regret having bought it, it is even better than its later version.

Parasaurolophus de Bullyland of 1993 a great figure for that time that has been eclipsed by other later figures of other companies.

Velociraptor version of the 90s I liked that figure.

And finally I bought the tyrannosaurus of the year 1990 is not exactly the triceratops that I like as a collection but I bought it for complementos effects.

Then I made contact in 1997 with the Museum Store of Natural Sciences of Madrid and I bought the following figures to complete the collection.

Tyrannosaurus version of 1990 is a sincerely ungrateful figure.

Apatosaurus 1990 version is a pretty loose figure from my point of view.

Brachiosaurus 1990 version is a figure that I bought with taste although its later version is better.

Tyrannosaurus version of 1993 a much better version than the one in 1990 and worse than its later version of Bullyland.
     
And dimetrodon version of 1990 to complete the collection does not convince me either I like more its later version.

I would lie in this case if I remember with precision what were the dates in which I bought these figures, in this case I follow the web page of dinosaurcollectorsitea.com to avoid that I forget some figure. That yes I have all the labels of each one of the toy figures.

The allosaurus of Bullyland is a figure that I like very much and it is a worthy representation of that dinosaur and I would even note it in my case remarkably high not to say outstanding.

Bullyland's Archeopteryx was my first archeoteryx that I had in my collection. In my case I bought the first version and I do not have the green version I keep it in one of my showcases. It is a figure from my very good point of view and although it may be repeated again it is a pity that Bullyland has stopped producing mass products of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals.

Archeopteryx of Bullyland 2017 version is a pretty figure and therefore the best of the group of the last two years. It has articulated wings and honestly in my case I do not regret having bought it.
     
Bullyland Triceratops version of 2017 I bought that dinosaur in order to complete my collection of Bullyland I do not recommend it to anyone unless it is an extreme fan of dinosaurs is a figure more aimed at children.

Bullyland Tyrannosaurus 2016 version I bought it to complete the collection of Bullyland is good for children and unless you want to complete a collection is another figure that I recommend to skip before buying other figures of prehistoric animals of this company.


Bullyland liopleurodon 2016 is a figure in this case recommended although it is not a figure that belongs to the golden age of Bullyland.


The Lambeosaurus of Bullyland 2015 is a very well finished and outstanding figure and belongs to the last good time of Bullyland. It is an example of how a company makes a lambeosaurine hadrosaur with perfect proportions and with a enviable detail makes a very good trio with its counterpart of Invicta and also with that of Collecta.


Europasaurus de Bullyland 2015 is a figure that is good but the only thing that spoils are those eyes of "zombie" that was already commented on his day in the forum, however is one of my favorite figures.

           
 Deinonychus de Bullyland is a "retro" figure that I love is based on works of art by paleoartists.

Edaphosaurus de Bullyland is a small, small but very well represented figure.

Elasmosaurus of Bulllyland I keep the green version with some abrasions on the back the blue version I did not buy it because honestly as it happened to me with Safari dinosaurs, except for some exception (and it is not the case of Bullyland) I did not buy any new repainted figure.

Ichyosaurus de Bullyland retained the initial blue version with abrasions and is not for the care of the figure, but because the figures of Bullyland were very prone to suffer them.

I have the two versions of Bullyland plateosaurus the one that is upright is a pretty figure although I know that it has its criticisms and I also have the version on all fours that is a pretty finished figure.


The styracosaurus of Bullyland is a version that I like and liked at the time taking into account that I am a fan of the ceraptoside dinosaurs and especially has a great acceptance for this species so well known among collectors and laymen.

I have the latest version of the triceratops of Bullyland is one of my favorite figures and is a more than acceptable figure based on paleoartistic works.

Tyrannosaurus latest version of Bullyland is an absolute improvement over the other versions.

The allosaurus of Bullyland first version I bought it in order to complete the collection.

Velociraptor Bullyland 2008 based on the paleoartistic work of Luis Rey has an articulated jaw and is in perfect condition.

Ankylosaurus Bullyland 2009 I bought it from a member of the Lanthanotus forum which I have very good memories with the label and in perfect condition. Apart from this one I bought another one from an eBay seller whose figure I gave it to a granddaughter niece.

Apatosaurus Bullyland 2005 is an improved version of its predecessor and honestly with a more than acceptable size.

Arizinosaurus and parathyphorax two reptiles of the Triassic Bullyland 2007 and for me the best that was done by that company along with other highly recommended figures.

Brachiosaurus de Bullyland 2005 I have the first green version and not the brown one in perfect condition in one of my showcases a great figure from all points of view.

Batrachonomus de Bullyland 2006 is along with its postosuchus counterparts of Safari and WWD my favorite figures and they are in the main showcase.

Bullyland liliniesternus 2006 is a figure that I keep very good memories that I bought next to the batrachonomus on May 14, I remember it because it was a party in Madrid the next day and I was fortunate to pick it up. It is a beautifully sculpted figure and without those eyes that used to and often put their prehistoric animal figures Bullyland.

Mastodonsaurus that I bought in his day with the iguanodon, ichythiosaurus, plateosaurus first version and styracosaurus and is one of the best figures that has made this company perhaps for me one of the best and scarce prehistoric amphibians in considerable size. It has many chafing and abrasions and it is not precisely because it has fallen but has a propensity for its misfortune this figure to lose the initial colors. The same thing happens to my deinotherium Bullyland (which I call "rat ears" affectionately).

Pachycephalosaurus of Bullyland 2009 belongs to a still very good time of Bullyland that came along with the ankylosaurus unfortunately that figure was discontinued soon. The Museum of Natural Sciences of Madrid received it a year later and yes with the new version of painting. It is a figure of pachycephalosaurus that surpasses that of the company U.K.R.D. among other. It is in perfect condition.

Iguanodon Bullyland 2010 is a figure that surpasses its predecessor, although a pretty figure and a bit retro from the beginning of the century and sincerely this figure the only fault I can find is its articulated arm.

The two versions of pteranodon sternbergi both the winged with a metal ring on the spine to hang on the walls and the sitting on four legs are a improvement on the initial pteranodon and honestly are recommended by me. They are in perfect condition.

Spinosaurus Bullyland 2012 is a pretty good figure that pairs with my other figures from other companies. The colors are acceptable.

Stegosaurus Bullyland 2007 is a figure of Stegosaurus that to date in my case is still the favorite of all with forgiveness of other companies.

Therizinosaurus Bullyland 2012 is a figure of that animal from my point of view quite loose although I have it on my shelves is not one that I like most sincerely has been dwarfed with other versions.

With this I finish with the collection that I have of dinosaurs of the Museum of Stuttgart.

I also have to point out that I do not have their small versions of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals except for the Bullyland mammoth.

On the other hand in my collection I also have Collecta the painted turtle unfortunately disappeared in 2012, the saola bought in 2013, the thylacino bought in 2016 and the peak ivory carpenter bird of 2017. I also have those Collecta figures that before I had not commented.

The next day if I have time I will continue with my exhibition. 

[Shonisaurus]

I will continue with my story as promised to the UK about my acquisitions and my collections as an amateur collector.

From Bullyland in 2018 the Museum of Natural Sciences of Madrid informed me that they were going to receive figures of prehistoric mammals, they told me in March of the year 1998 and in May at the end of May to be exact they already had them in the shop the figures I bought are the following.

Eusmilus de Bullyland 1998 is a figure of a prehistoric feline in a rather odd toy figure in the toy market, I was expecting another figure better sincerely.

Deinotherium Bullyland 1998 is one of my favorite figures in my collection. I call it "mouse-eared elephant" because of its ears. Unfortunately it has many abrasions and it is not precisely because of its use.

Megatherium Bullyland 1998 is another favorite figure in my collection. It is immense for that time and even now for a prehistoric toy mammal.
Andrewsarchus Bullyland 1998 I think the wolf of the story but I like it despite everything.

Chalichotherium Bullyland 1998 is a favorite figure despite having spent twenty years is a great figure in the toy market.

Coelodonta antiquitatis Bullyland 1998 is my favorite woolly rhinoceros and from my point of view the best done by a toy company. It is clearly copied from an illustration by Dougal Dixon.

Anchitherium Bullyland 1998 is another beautiful figure and proportioned to scale as followers of prehistoric animals like scale.

Diatryma Bullyland 1998 is a figure whose only problem is its sustainability I have it in one of my best shelves.

Ursus spelaeus u Bear of the caves Bullyland 1998 is a beautiful figure perhaps for me better than other versions although it is outdated but it is very small.

Megaloceros Bullyland 1998 is a very rare figure in the toy market. It has immense horns.

Mammoth primigenius (or shaggy rhinoceros) of Bullyland from 1998 is an outstanding figure not only for the time but today even though its more than twenty years of history is still sold in Bullyland.

A year later, in November 1999, the Museum of Natural Sciences of Madrid called me that two new figures of prehistoric mammals had come, the two mentioned were the following.

Gomphoterium Bullyland 1999 is a pretty pretty figure that makes a very good trio with the deinotherium and mammoth primigenius of the same brand although I think I will be more impressed by Collecta's new gomphotherium and forgive those who read my writing for that odious comparison.

Smilodon Bullyland 1999 is a much better figure than his Bullyland eusmilus 1998.

All these figures I keep with their informative labels and they are very cool figures for their time as well as today.

Then I bought the Canis Dirus from Bullyland in the Museum Store of Natural Sciences in 2001 and in this way I completed the collection. Here I have to affirm that it does not have an identification tag.

In 2013 I bought the last two prehistoric mammals made by this company.

The machairodos of Bullyland 2013 that is an improved version of that company of its disappeared eusmilus

The Smilodon of Bullyland 2013 which is another improved version of that company from its missing smilodon from Bullyland 1998 version.

I also bought Dejankins the Bullyland spinophorosaurus about the year 2017.

In dansdinosaurs I bought the Protochirotherium from Bullyland in that same year 2017.
On the other hand, I bought the famous Bullyland procynosuchus from an eBay seller in 2016, so I have Bullyland's prehistoric vertebrate collection complete, apart from that I have the labels of those figures.

I also have the collection of the Clan of the Neardenthal of Bullyland bought in 1998 that is made up of six figures and that I keep their labels and even their complementary tools although some of their spears unfortunately have been nicked over time.

I have the entire collection of evolution of Bullyland man bought in 1999 that is composed of dryophitecus, austrolophitecus, homo habilis, homo erectus,
Neardenthal with his spear and Cro-magnom man with his spear throws although his hand is broken partly due to a fall and being a figure already a little worn otherwise is in the rest well. The figures come with their corresponding labels.

In 1999 I bought the invertebrates of Bullyland and they are composed of the following figures.


Bullyland's small ammonite that has an acceptable size with its corresponding label.

A large ammonite from Bullyland with its corresponding label is a small "work of art".

Trilobite Bullyland unpainted and with its label, then came out another version whose eyes were painted but I did not buy it.

Belemnite Bulllyland that is preserved with its label in perfect condition as the rest of invertebrate figures.

And finally the Bullyland jellyfish whose only fault is that one of its legs is given of itself and is not precisely for the use.

As you can see I have all the collection of figures of Bullyland in terms of prehistoric animals, although I have to point out that I also have the full collection of current sharks, I liked them and honestly for that reason I bought them.

In the next few days I will continue with my acquisitions as promised.

Now that you're on the Top Poster list you should have an avatar .
How about one of these?
                          

[UK]

Wonderful narrative Shonisaurus, your memory of dates and events are so entwined with your figures it's a treat to here your collection unfold. How lucky you are to associate wonderful memories with the acquisition of cherished treasures.

One day you will have a camera and all these memories will appear before your eyes 

[Roselaar]

Chronological accuracy, you just can't beat it!

[Shonisaurus]

Thanks to everyone ( @UK @Roselaar @Postsaurischan) I will soon publish more information about my collection. I will focus on other brands, which fortunately "almost complete" as Schleich and Papo say "almost" because I still lack figures of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals this year 2018.   

[Shonisaurus]

I will continue with my story in this case on the Schleich dinosaurs:

Before the drought of dinosaurs that suffered in the 90s (he had only managed to collect a gallimimus of Jurassic World that did not hold or stand up).

After having been in 1995 with some former university colleagues, in the street of Gran Vía there was a store called "Sanatorium of Toys" (already disappeared) and out of curiosity I saw that they had catalogs of animals among them of Schleich, coincidentally seeing said catalog I found my first prehistoric animals of Schleich, the fact is that they were not available in the store, but the catalog had a telephone number of the distributor that was from Barcelona.

I called that distributor on Monday because on Friday when I picked up that free catalog they had already closed and I told them where I could find these figures. They surprised me and told me that they had them in the Shop of the Museum of Natural Sciences of Madrid. The following Friday I went to the store and saw that they had all the dinosaurs except Schleich's ceratosaurus, I was buying all the figures that were the following:

Tyrannosaurus rex Schleich 1994 was for me first tyrannosaurus in big version that had impressed me.

1996 Schleich's Triceratops of 1994 was not exactly impressive.
Brachiosaurus de Schleich 1994 although not a very graceful figure (reminds me of a mixture of brachiosaurus and camarasaurus) is a voluminous figure.

Spinosaurus Schleich of 1994 is perhaps another iconic figure in my collection, although outdated.

Stegosaurus Schleich of 1994 is perhaps a somewhat loose figure.
Parasaurolophus Schleich 1994 is perhaps a loose figure compared to others of the same brand.

Apatosaurus breeding of Schleich of 1994 is perhaps a figure within what fits very finished does not displease me precisely.

The one that I had left was the 1994 Ceratosaurus from Schleich I bought it in September of that year thereafter it would be the time of collection of such dinosaur figures. The 1994 Schleich ceratosaurus was perhaps my most awaited figure, especially when I was then a rare figure in the toy market.

Although the dinosaurs are from 1994 I bought them in 1996 and I can get a song in my teeth.

I had never visited the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid and I did not know its existence even if it seems to be a supertrealist. That is the reality of history.

The following year 1996 I bought the following figures:

Corythosaurus de Schleich 1996 was for me a very sincerely expected figure, despite the years he continues to like me.

Edmontosaurus de Schleich 1996 is for me one of the best figures of hadrosaurs not lambeosaurines despite the time that has passed.

Apatosaurus de Schleich 1997 adult for me one of the best Schleich figures but surpassed by his successor.

Saichania de Schleich 1996 a figure with some shades of ivory paint that still fascinates me.

In the year 2000 I collected the following figures:

Plateosaurus de Schleich 2000 a pretty bland figure in the world of the toy and I think that to date except the plateosaurus of Safari and Collecta and perhaps the one of Bullyland has not done for now justice with that figure, since it is very little represented in the toy market.

Torosaurus by Schleich 2000 is a highly anticipated figure for me and I honestly do not dislike it in my ceraptoside collection.
In the year 2001 in September I picked up

Schleich 2001 pteranodon figures worthy and much better than its current version of 2018.

Quetzalcoatlus de Schleich 2001 another rare pterosaur figure at that time in the market.

Carnotaurus de Schleich 2001 is a caricature figure from my point of view is not an outstanding figure comparing it with others of its kind and brand without going any further with the carnotaurus Schleich 2018.

In 2002 I collected:

Schleich iguanodon 2002 is a good figure despite its small size.
Allosaurus of Schleich 2002 is for me the dinosaur "iguana" is a curious figure in my collection.

The baryonyx of Schleich 2002 is another figure of theropod very unattractive colors as all Schleich very conservative is what saves him.

The styracosaurus of Schleich 2002 is perhaps a figure that disappointed me. In the promotional photo it looks much better than what the figure really is, it is very small and the head is reduced and very angular.

Sauropelta de Schleich 2002 is a very small figure but much better than Schleich's styracosaurus that same year.


In 2003 I collected:

The ouranosaurus of Schleich 2003 whose figure sincerely does not have much history his head sincerely and I say it with all due respect to the sculptor reminds me of the head of bird spatula.

Schleich Albertosaurus of 2003 reminds me of a mixture of tyrannosaurus and iguana is perhaps a rare dinosaur figure in the toy market as I have already commented in other post.


In 2004 I collected:

The edmontonia of Schleich 2004 is perhaps my favorite figure of nodosaurio made by this mark surpassed by the sauropelta of Doug Watson that obviously is superior.

Desmatosuchus de Schleich 2004 another outstanding figure in the history of the collection of prehistoric toy animals. It is still a obscure figure in the toy market.


In the year 2005 I collected:

The 2005 Schleich kronosaurus is certainly not your best marine figure I picked it up in order to complete the collection, it presents mine a pronounced abrasion due to a fall in the jaw and chafing due to a fall in a fin.

Deinosuchus de Schleich 2005 sincerely is a figure for me more than acceptable I have it as the first day.

Schleich's 2005 Shonisaurus (it's my favorite prehistoric animal, that's why I adopted that nickname) and for me one of the best figures in the history of prehistoric toy animals.

Elasmosaurus de Schleich 2005 another outstanding figure that with those black tones gives an image of the monster of Loch Ness but at the same time is scientific.

Tyrannosaurus rex de Scheich 2005 is perhaps a figure that far surpasses its predecessor but is inferior to later versions. Its feet are very large like that of all the theropods of Schleich.

In 2006 I collected:

Saltaleurus de Schleich 2006 is in my best shelves and is a very successful figure in relation to dinosaurs Schleich has made quite good sauropod figures although they are surpassed by other brands.

Triceratops de Schleich 2006 a better figure than its predecessor but obviously and fortunately gives a thousand laps, the triceratops Schleich 2018 in quality, creativity and beauty.

In 2007 I collected:

The stegosaurus of Schleich 2007 a very well finished figure and that is an improvement over its predecessor of 1994 bought by me in the year 1996.

Tyrannosaurus rex of Schleich 2007 is a figure superior to the previous version but remembers in its pose to the 1994 version.

Schleich Parasaurolophus 2007 is for me the best figure made to date by this company superior to its successors as the banana parasaurolophus among others.



In 2008 I collected:

Brachiosaurus de Schleich 2008 is perhaps the best brachiosaurus made by that company so far. It remains one of my favorite figures in my collection in general terms.

Allosaurus of Schleich 2008 is for me the best allosaurus made by a toy dinosaur company, I even like it better than Favorite allosaurus and I say it with all the sincerity of the world. That's right, the feet are disproportionate.

Schleich's Spinosaurus of 2008 is perhaps another favorite figure on the other hand its size is more than acceptable and it does not have to envy many brands.

In the year 2009 I collected:

Saichania de Schleich 2009 his physical features are good, what bothers him is perhaps the head with humanized and somewhat childish eyes.

Schleich's Apatosaurus of 2009 perhaps for me the best sauropod figure made in the history of Schleich.

Quetzalcoatlus de Schleich 2009 a worthy and good figure although it is surpassed by later versions in relation to traditional brands.

In the year 2010 I collected:

The Giganotosaurus of Schleich 2010 is the figure of theropod in solid PVC I think bigger ever made. It has many flaws and has nothing to do with quality compared to other versions of other toy companies.

These are the figures of the Humbold Museum that I have with all their identification tags in four languages ​​and with the corresponding figure of Hans.

The next day I will continue with the second part of my Schleich collections. 

[ceratopsian]

I am enjoying reading your personal history of collecting.

[Shonisaurus]

Thank you ceraptosian for your words.  I thought I would continue with my relatio tomorrow but I will finish what I started.

I continue with my account of my Schleich acquisitions:

In 2003 and 2006 very painful years in my personal and family life Schlech, then supervised by the Humbold Museum in Berlin made some medium-sized figures of dinosaurs. As I already mentioned, I have the entire collection going on.

In the year 2003 in June of that year I remember it perfectly on the 3rd of June I bought those figures some with quite good colors like the stegosaurus, spinosaurus and unreal brachiosaurus but that really hit me.


I list the following dinosaur figures:

Apatosaurus de Schleich 2003 Standard series dinosaurs is like all the figures of the year 2003 a mere copy of the figures of Schleich large, monocolor as can be seen physically and in the catalogs and therefore not very funny.

Another thing is the brachiosaurus 2003 standard dinosaurs series is a figure with more striking colors considering that the Humbold figures of that time were always conservative colors so it is still shocking.

Dilophosaurus de Schleich 2003 standard series dinosaurs is a figure based on paleoartistic works and quite good on my part.

Spinosaurus Schleich 2003 series standard dinosaurs is a figure with a more avant-garde colors than their counterparts at the Humbold Museum in Berlin.

Saichania Schleich 2003 series standard dinosaurs is a figure that makes very good figure adult-child with his counterpart of Schleich in large size of 1994.

Stegosaurus Schleich 2003 series standard dinosaurs their colors are curious as I have indicated.

Triceratops Schleich 2003 series standard dinosaurs is a rather rare figure and of lower quality compared to its 1994 counterpart.

Velociraptor Schleich 2003 series standard dinosaurs its odors are very alive and like the dilophosaurus the first figure of its kind by the Humbold Museum in Berlin.

Tyrannosaurus rex Schleich 2003 series standard dinosaurs is perhaps the worst figure in the group.

In the year 2006 to the end of June Schleich standard dinosaurs made the following figures.

Anhanguera Schleich 2006 standard series dinosaurs was my first anhanguera and my first serrated pterosaur for me an achievement.

Allosaurus Schleich 2006 series standard dinosaurs is perhaps the best figure of the group with difference followed by dilophosaurus and based on paleoartistic works of painting.

In 2003 I also collected the collection of prehistoric mammals, it was very much awaited for me and they arrived in September-October 2003.

Schleich Smilodon 2003 a pretty loose figure.

Megatherium de Schleich 2003 a figure that reminds me more of a mylodon I do not know why.

Woolly Mammoth of Schleich 2003 a very finished figure within the Schlech bill.

Woolly mammoth (Mamut primigenius) breed of Schleich 2003 a funny figure for every collector. Although we know that it is only a toy, it seems a bit childish.

Ursus Spelaeus u (bear of the caverns) of Schleich 2003 for me was my most awaited figure and the ones I liked the most and it was only canceled by Papo's version.

Schleich Glyptodon 2003 another figure very much expected and sincerely is perhaps for me the best along with the Ursus spelaeus seems to me the best that Schleich did as prehistoric mammals.

Macrauchenia de Schleich 2003 together with the glytodon and ursus spelaeus for me the remarkable figures of prehistoric mammals this year. It's huge, it's even bigger than Safari's macrauchenia in terms of size. It's in one of my favorite shelves.

All figures keep their identification tags in four languages.

Then came in 2012 the following figures of dinosaurs and that are no longer from the Humbold Museum in Berlin. The first are miniatures almost all versions of the old Schleich, the numbers I bought in parts.

Allosaurus of Schleich 2012 I sincerely like its precedent in the market since then they started to make prehistoric animals and dinosaurs with articulated jaws of which you know that I am not exactly a fan. The positive thing are jaws that do not wear out, but I prefer to leave them with jaws open or closed and not touch them just in case.

Apatosaurus de Schleich 2012 from then on said figures of that brand would abandon their conservative colors and go to models with more avant-garde but often less realistic colors.

Brachiosaurus of Schleich 2012 is a miniature of its previous version.
Giganotosaurus by Schleich 2012 is a figure almost identical to its 2010 predecessor although in this case I prefer to leave it with the jaw closed. I have his version as I call 2010 "Jumbo" and that way it seems to differentiate a bit.

Schleich parasaurolophus 2012 or called parasaurolophus "banana" honestly does not have much history and I bought it in order to complete the collection.

Quetzalcoatlus de Schleich 2012 is a lower figure in quality than its predecessor.

Saichania de Schleich 2012 is perhaps the most outstanding for me of this group, if we except Schleich tyrannosaurus.

Stegosaurus by Schleich 2012 is a figure with pale colors and I sincerely prefer its predecessor.

Spinosaur of Schleich 2012 is a miniature figure of its large version of which I mentioned earlier.

Schleich Triceratops 2012 that is a new figure and although the figure can pass with the note of good on my part.

Tyrannosaurus by Schleich 2012 is my favorite figure of the group. Its spinach green colors give it a more realistic exterior appearance than its lime green version.

Velociraptor de Schleich 2012 is surely the weakest figure in the group for me. It is a pending issue on the part of Schleich in that someday make a velociraptor of outstanding quality. In this case I do not lose hope regarding his most recent revelations.

In 2013 I bought the 2013 Schleich carnotaurus and maybe it is a worthy figure but its most recent version of 2018 is better.

Styracosaurus de Schleich 2013 I sincerely like that figure a lot although I admit that very childish.

In the year 2014 of Schleich I collected:

The 2014 Schleich pentaceratops is perhaps the best dinosaur figure on Schleich's part that they had made to date despite their gaudy colors and most importantly, an avant-garde figure Schleich was at the same height as companies such as Collecta or Safari due to dinosaurs and prehistoric animals whose figures were poorly represented.

Velociraptor Schleich 2014 is a substantial improvement over its predecessor of 2012 and the standard version of 2003.

Therizinosaurus Schleich 2014 is a huge figure for those who do not have it and I have both that version and this year's version of dark color 2018 are no different only in color its latest version as far as painting is higher.

Tyrannosaurus Schleich 2014 whose color is lime green as I have pointed before a pretty cool figure but that improves its version of 2018 with abyssal difference.

In 2015 I picked up from Schleich:

Anhanguera de Schleich 2015 is a good figure of pterosaurus but it ruins his articulated jaw which is fragile by the way. I recommend not touching it much.

Schleich's Giganotosaurus 2015 is a much better figure than its predecessors. I have it in my main showcase.

Schleich Spinosaurus 2015 is for me the best figure of spinosaurus by Schleich a pretty good figure in the toy market. From the first moment I liked it.

On the other hand the kentrosaurus of 2015 deserves a special mention is the thyreoforo best made to date by the company and perhaps one of the best in the toy market.


In 2015 I also bought the standard dinosaur versions (improved versions compared to the 2003 versions).

I have the following figures:

Schleich Therizinosaurus 2015 standard I prefer the large version of that brand.

Schleich's Tyrannosaurus Standard of 2015 an improved version to its 2003 counterpart.

Schleich's standard Giganotosaurus of 2015 a pretty good figure and weird thing its colors are monochrome and quite realistic.

Carnotaurus standard of Schleich 2015 for me one of the best of theropod dinosaurs made by Schleich's company I have it in one of my preferred shelves.

Schleich's standard Triceratops 2015 is for me a figure more intended for very young audiences in order to complete the collection I bought it, as well as the standard therizinosaurus of that year.

The standard velociraptor of Schleich 2015 a dark version literally speaking and from which it could have been more profitable.

I also have the mini Schleich dinosaurs 2015 that are the following:

Pentaceratops, stegosaurus, velociraptor is an identical version to the 2014 version, ankylosaurus, quetzalcoatlus (it is another of my group favorites), spinosaurus, triceratops and tyranosaurus.

I bought the velociraptor package and the coelophysis and I also bought the dinosaur cave that way I got the archeopteryx, quetzalcoatlus breeding and Schleich microraptor.

In the year 2016 the version of prehistoric giants would come the third stage that I call Schleich,

The Schleich dilophosaurus of 2016 is much better than its previous versions.

Dimetrodon de Schleich 2016, although it reminds us of the French company's version of Papo, it is still a great figure.

Dunkleosteus de Schleich 2016 is one of the best figures that has made the company so far recommended one hundred percent.

Herrerasaurus de Schleich 2016 is a fairly large figure for what is the dinosaur but other brands, a version with very dark colors.

On the other hand, the barapasaurus I bought for the purpose not only of completing the collection but also because it is the only figure I know of that dinosaur in the toy market. Honestly it does not convince me and it is next to the herrerasaurus the weakest of the group.

Schleich standard figures of 2016 I bought the following figures:

Standard Schleich 2016 Dimorphodon I sincerely recommend it I do not understand that you have so many criticisms.

Therizinosaurus standard red version Schleich 2016 is better than its predecessor.

Saichania standard Schleich 2016 is a figure intended for children as is logical.

Giganotosaurus de Schleich 2016 is a figure within the scope but has no history.

The Mini Schleich Dinosaurs 2016:

I have the quetzalcoatlus, mosasaurus, ichythiosaurus and spinosaurus (new color version) and on the other hand another group triceratops, suchomimus, kentrosaurus and velociraptor (versions of triceratops and velociraptor are versions with another color).

I bought both sets with their puzzle that I gave to relatives and I honestly do not regret having bought them.

I also have the special version of the dilophosaurus and velociraptor of Schleich (2003 version) repainted, the Schleich tyrannosaurus red version of Schleich 2014. And a Christmas version with the velociraptor included 2016 year together with a frog, fish and compsognathus and trees prehistoric that I preserve in a prized way.


In the year 2017 of Schleich I bought:

The acrocanthosaurus of Schleich 2017 a version of course unfortunate.

Kentrosaurus de Schleich 2017 an outstanding version that makes a very good pair with its Schleich counterpart of 2015.

And the Schleich stegosaurus version of 2017 that one of the best dinosaur versions made so far at least part of the Schleich company does not have to envy the best companies.

Brachiosaurus de Schleich 2017 is a better and less quality figure than its Humbold counterpart in Berlin.

The same can be said about Schleich's 2017 allosaurus whose figure is improvable and of inferior quality than its predecessors.


The Schleich utahraptor version of 2017 that is not a very lucky prehistoric dinosaur version.

I have the medium versions of Schleich 2017:

Schleich spinosaurus 2017 with reddish face is a pretty acceptable figure.

The Schleich tyrannosaurus 2017 repainted version.

The standard Schleich dinosaurs 2017

Utahraptor de Schleich 2017 an improved paint version of its counterpart that year.

Velociraptor Schleich 2017 a pretty good version for me the best made to date.

Schleich microraptor 2017 standard version a figure with another type of painting and microraptor variant of the cave.


In 2018 I collected the following dinosaurs so far:

For me, that year is the golden year of Schleich and shows that this company can be dedicated to a more adult audience.

Psittacosaurus de Schleich 2018 my note as I said is of honor plate. Its colors are great and its modeling excellent.

Oviraptor of Schleich 2018 perfectly notes the details of its teeth and feathers outstanding figure also where they exist.

Dinogorgon de Schleich 2018 another of the five favorite figures by that company makes a good pair with Safari inostrancevia.

Tyrannosaurus de Schleich 2018 the best theropod made in history by the company Schleich.

Schleich's Therizinosaurus 2018 with a fully improved version of paint compared to its predecessor in the 2014 production.

Triceratops de Schleich of 2018 is next to the triceratops of Safari by Doug Watson for me the first one, Triceratops of Recur (the second best figure of that species) and Triceratops of Battat (the third best figure of that species), the fourth triceratops most outstanding that I have in my collection.

Carnotaurus de Schleich 2018 a great figure even with that type of medieval knight armor.

Another thing is the velociraptor of Schleich 2018 whose figure is the weak one of the group by far and that shines the outstanding merit and note of Schleich honor of this year 2018.

I only have to pick up the Schleich pteranodon and the juvenile dinosaurs of Schleich therizinosaurus and tyrannosaurus (the latter I know will impress me pleasantly).

With this I have finished my story about the Schleich dinosaurs.

The next day I will start with the dinosaurs and prehistoric animals of Papo.


As a final note I have all the identification tags of the dinosaurs and prehistoric animals cited except the standard figures and the minis that obviously do not have them.

[ceratopsian]

I like to keep tags too. I always feel that a little something is missing when I buy a model secondhand and it has no tag.

[Roselaar]

I always keep the tags. Always. Vital pieces.

[Libraraptor]

I keep the tags, too,  but not those small Schleich  ones with only the brand sign on them.

[Shonisaurus]

Thanks for the feedback.

@ceraptosian @Roselaar and totally agree with you regarding the labels, if they come with identifying information I always keep them. 

@ Libraraptor totally agree with me. I keep the identification tags but obviously those of the brand sign, I throw them into the trash when I get them. 

[Shonisaurus]

After a few days of rest I will continue with my stories of all the collections of dinosaurs that I have now belongs to the company Papo.

I'm going to comment on my Papo collections:

I started the collection in 2005, the old Schleich distributor had finished working with this German company and decided to market the Papo products. The company would disappear in 2016 and was replaced by another distributor in my country.

The prehistoric animals that I collected in 2005 were the following:

Parasaurolophus from Papo 2005 is for me a pretty good figure and in his day he had a vanguardist attitude with respect to other parasaurolophus of other brands. The figure as the rest of the figures of Papo is painted conservatively but at the same time attractive.

Pteranodon de Papo 2005 I call it "dentate pteranodon" it is a pretty figure but with those teeth it is quite fantastic.

Tyrannosaurus Papo 2005 green version is for me a normal figure compared to its Papo counterpart (tyrannosaurus running) and is in the middle term of genius on the part of Papo's company.

Velociraptor brown of Papo 2005 brown version is today a jewel in the market of eBay I am glad to have it next to his other three versions of painting.

Papo Triceratops 2005 is for me a beautiful figure and gorgeus at the time, but I understand that it needs an update.

The Mammoth trogontherii of Papo 2000, as I call it, is a mammal figure that can be improved, and which in front of the great figure of Eofauna, homologous in kind, is annulled.

Papo bearded Neanderthal man of Papo 2005 sincerely both that version and the neardenthal with spear seem to me more realistic figures of prehistoric men than the later version of neardenthal with spear of 2018 collected this year.

Obviously the figure of the fire of the neardenthales in my case I did not buy it did not suppose for me much interest that decorative figure.


In 2006 I collected the following figures:
Stegosaurus de Papo 2006 for me a great figure despite the criticism and despite its influence on movie figures seems to me a good paleoartistic representation of the Papo brand.

Pachycephalosaurus Papo 2006 figure small and very JP like many figures of Papo, at first I thought they would make a figure of larger size. Honestly this figure is improvable.


My acquisitions of Papo 2007 were as follows:

Spinosaurus de Papo 2007 for me one of the best theropods made so far with tyrannosaurus running, acrocanthosaurus and therizinosaurus. It was a highly anticipated figure for me, regardless of whether it is based on the JP film, it is still a well detailed and perfectly modeled work of art, for me its note is outstanding.


The prehistoric animals that he collected in 2008 were the following:

Allosaurus of Papo 2008 regardless of the fact that there are many apologists on this figure is perhaps one of the theropods of Papo that I like the least. It is a mixture that is beautifully finished and detailed of a mixture of theropod dinosaur and iguana. In any case, he is a great figure.

In 2008 I bought the version of the Papo dodo bird is less realistic than its counterpart Safari from my point of view and later in Magic World of the street Ayala to lose that figure I bought it again in 2010.

The prehistoric animals that I bought in 2009 were the following:

Woolly Mammoth of Papo 2009 is a more finished figure than its counterpart made in the year 2000 and that I bought in 2005 from Papo mentioned before (mammoth trogonteri).


The prehistoric animals that I collected in 2010 were the following:

Pachyrhinosaurus of Papo 2010 is a great figure of ceraptoside and perhaps along with the styracosaurus alike my two favorite ones on the part of the company Papo, in its day it was judged as a dinosaur copy of a movie but regardless of the criticism it is by far the best version of that ceraptoside in figures of toy dinosaurs.

Oviraptor with Papo's egg of 2010 is a curious and avant-garde figure in my collection of Papo seems a basketball player, anyway is a figure that I like despite all the criticism that has rained on that figure.

Plesiosaurus de Papo 2010 is perhaps another figure that does not honor the company, perhaps with the neck stretched linearly and being less petite the figure would have been an acceptable figure.

Velociraptor gray / black version of Papo version 2010 I do not regret having bought that color variant. I have all four versions. Undoubtedly though less realistic than its original version is more colorful and nice.

The prehistoric animals that I collected in 2011 were the following:

Papo Ankylosaurus of 2011 for me one of the best figures of armed dinosaurs made by this company, I affectionately call it the dinosaur with "scorpion tail".

Smilodon de Papo 2011 is a great saber-tooth feline figure but I would have liked it to be at the same level of genius as its figures of current felines such as tigers or lions. Anyway I prefer this version than the year 2017.

Styracosaurus by Papo 2011 is the best figure of the group, well finished, realistic and with a red-red touch that with its details makes the figure of that ceraptoside although now it is canceled by figures of other companies.


My acquisitions of Papo 2012 were as follows:


Tyrannosaurus running from Papo 2012 green version, is for me one of the best theropod figures made by Papo's toy brand. Superdetailed and although it resembles Vastatosaurus is one of my favorite figures its note for its exquisite detail and modeling is for me of outstanding and even of honor matriculation. It was a great success on the part of the Papo brand to make such a figure. I also have the brown version bought from Pako and sincerely in any color variation said figure is always a gifted one from the artistic point of view.

Breeding tyrannosaurus 2012 Papo brown version I have the two versions the green and brown I bought it in order to complete the collection very detailed but with a pose and details a little childish and I say this with all due respect but at the same time sincerity of the world .

Tyrannosaurus rex brown seated 2012 version of Papo I have the three green, brown and rainbow versions as well as the tyrannosaurus rex running from Papo versions green, brown and rainbow.

Papo Brachiosaurus 2012 I remember that figure I picked up a day of torrential rain in the Museum Store of Natural Sciences and a sauropod figure that I like one hundred percent both for its size and for its details, I remember when I bought it agreed with the Olympics that were held in London in that year.

Papo Tylosaurus 2012 for me a rather loose figure that does not do justice to the company reminds me of the prehistoric marine animals made of the Crystal Palace made in London in the nineteenth century.

The two versions of Papo's primigenius mammoth made in 2012, although I like other versions, are not without their grace and make a very good team with the woolly mammoth made in 2009.

In 2013 I collected the following prehistoric figures:

Dimetrodon de Papo 2013 is for me a great figure of pelicosaurus in spite of its anatomical inaccuracies regarding the digits in the legs, I have it as one of my favorite figures in one of my main bookshelves.

Carnotaurus de Papo 2013 is another mythical figure by Collecta and is based on the great work of Sideshow for those like my case that we have no resources to buy the great work of Sideshow we settle for this beauty.

Woolly rhinoceros of Papo 2013 is a good figure but is not as spectacular as his counterpart of Bullyland from my honest point of view. Just as Collecta's deinotherium is better than his Bullyland counterpart in Papo's shaggy rhinoceros, the tables are turned around Bullyland. The Bullyland rhino made in the year 1998 far exceeds Papo's coelodonta antiquitatis, from my sincere opinion.

In 2014 I bought the following prehistoric animals from Papo:

Triceratops breeding of Papo 2014 makes a very good team with its adult counterpart.

Archaeopterys de Papo 2014 is a truly quite irregular figure is pretty and detailed but somewhat unreal as if it were a mixture of archeopteryx and phoenix.

Papo Dilophosaurus 2014 is a very good figure reminds me of the great figure of the company Battat, although it is surrounded by more details does not have the brightness and beauty of that sadly disappeared company.

I have also the small versions of Papo dinosaurs, brachiosaurus is a great figure, triceratops another much of the same, stegosaurus, spinosaurus, tyrannosaurus and velociraptor

In 2015 I bought the following figures of prehistoric animals:
Velociraptor de Papo 2015 version as I call it a rainbow version is another of the four versions that I have.

Tyrannosaurus de Papo version 2015 rainbow tyrannosaurus version sincerely rested although its colors are unreal I like it more than the brown and green versions of 2005.

Tupuxuara de Papo 2015 is perhaps the most scientific version of Pterosaur by Papo made to date is a Sideshow in small, but honestly for me the favorite is the quetzalcoatlus of Papo 2018 by far is one of my favorite prehistoric animals and pterosaurs together with those of Collecta to give some examples.

Apatosaurus de papo 2015 is by far the best figure made of sauropod made to date by the company of Papo.

I also have the mini dinosaurs of Papo 2015 the carnotaurus, ankylosaurus, dimetrodon, pteranodon, carnotaurus and giganotosaurus I am not big figures but some are acceptable.

In 2016 I bought the following figures of Papo prehistoric animals:

Velociraptor Papo 2016 version of green color for me the preferred version along with the first version of 2005 brown.

Tyrannosaurus rex running Papo version of 2016 Rainbow is for me an even better figure than its green version. The brown version of Pako sincerely for its rarity and its price is perhaps my favorite version of tyrannosaurus running.

Kaprosuchus de Papo 2016 version is for me a version of that rare crocodile of honor registration, both for the color details, even as it opens its mouth and is a scientific and avant-garde version to be honest. She's as pretty as her Safari counterpart, so I'm going to cheat on her.

Baryonyx de Papo 2016 is for me a figure that has a great acceptance and especially among many members of the forum but who does not quite convince me, I deserve all the respect in the world and paleoartistically it is still a work of art.

Velociraptor feathered Papo 2016 is for me the best figure of velociraptor made to date by this company reminds me sincerely and affectionately to a mix of feathered dinosaur and Aztec deity. Leaving the jokes aside is a very scientific figure and very well finished the details of the feathers are spectacular. The best raptor that has made the company Papo.

Of the mini versions of Papo dinosaurs repainted I have all the versions of 2016 and the numbers, carnotaurus, pteranodon, giganotosaurus, allosaurus, dimetrodon, ankylosaurus, brachiosaurus, stegosaurus, triceratops, spinosaurus and tyrannosaurus.

In the year 2017 I bought the following figures of prehistoric animals:

Ursus spelaeus or Papo cave bear 2017, although it is a bear and I think it is not scientific (as I repeat I do not understand paleontology) is much better for me than its Bullyland counterpart maybe because of its size.

Ceratosaurus de Papo 2017 is a very cool version of that figure and very realistic the posed is pretty good.

Acrocanthosaurus de Papo 2017 version is a great figure surpassed by its successor of 2018. Over time it will become a rare figure in the toy market.

Smilodon de Papo 2017 is by far the best version of 2011 but it is still graceful that figure especially when you see all the musculature.

Dimorphodon de Papo 2017 is a great figure of the well-known pterosaur but that is canceled with the version of the Quetzalcoatlus of Papo of 2018

Papo Crylophosaurus 2017 is a figure that I like very much although there are other versions of this figure of other company that is not worth mentioning here that are more proportioned anyway is even better for me than Papo's version of Ceratosaurus although the tripod pose It spoils a little although it is inevitable to do it that way. Or you put a huge base or feet to keep balanced that figure. But honestly I am very gorgeus is remarkable in the qualification on my part.

Polacanthus de Papo 2017 is perhaps the group's lazy figure but not brilliant. I sincerely like your anklosaurus more.

In 2018 I bought the following figures of prehistoric animals:

Amargasaurus of Papo 2018 I bought it for the purpose of completing my collection but sincerely I expected more of this figure from the company Papo is perhaps the worst sauropod made by this toy factory.

Juvenile Spinosaurus of Papo 2018 bought from everythingdinosaur.co.uk in 2017, from my point of view it is a more than acceptable figure that makes a great pair with the adult spinosaurus and I do not understand how people are so dissatisfied with this figure I find it very detailed and very nice, without becoming an important figure in the collection has its charm.

Papo's neardenthal 2018 is better than his initial figure of 2005 sincerely speaking and I bought it in order to complete the collection is less realistic with that body depilated.

These are the figures that I have so far of Papo I will talk about my future acquisitions when I have them. Another day I will continue as promised, commenting and listing the figures I have in my collection.

[Halichoeres]

Do you remember all this detail off the top of your head or do you keep some kind of collecting journal?

[Shonisaurus]

Do you remember all this detail off the top of your head or do you keep some kind of collecting journal?

@Halichoeres I keep all the catalogs of each of the companies. But regardless of that I have a photographic and selective memory.

I remember what happened each year of my life both in terms of good times and bad.

[Shonisaurus]

I comment on my latest acquisitions of Papo and Schleich and my impressions on the new figures of 2018. As promised to the members of the forum and apologize to members of the DTF for my delay in commenting and listing all the collectible figures that I have (and which are many) but I am preparing some competitions that will be on September 29 or 30, it is one of my reasons why I do not continue my story.

Last Saturday, July 7, 2018, I bought the following Schleich dinosaur figures from the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid:

I already have on my shelves Schleich pteranodon 2018 is perhaps a somewhat rare figure in my collection and honestly although the colors are beautiful and colorful (although I would prefer more realistic colors and monochrome in this case) is by far the weakest figure in the group. '

On the other hand the Schizich 2018 juvenile therizinosaurus is far better than the adult of the same factory. Honestly I think it has a good finish but not outstanding is within average. What scores higher is that it has no articulated jaw for me is a point in its favor.

Schleich 2018 juvenile tyrannosaurus is by far the best of the whole group and I sincerely recommend that all members of the forum interested in those figures that buy it will not feel cheated, it is even better than its adult counterpart of 2018. Undoubtedly The best theropod made by the Schleich company in all its history for me is an outstanding figure.

The following figures also came to my shelves from the Museum Store of Natural Sciences of Madrid.

Today July 13 I bought Papo therizinosaurus and I can only say that it is impressive, gorgeus, very nice and very cool. It is the best therizinosaurus ever made by a company independently that according to the experts of DTF is not a scientific figure, for me it is the best they have done to date of theropods together with adult tyrannosaurs and spinosaurus and the acrocanthosaurus of Papo 2018, ceratosaurus and cryolophosaurus. It is super detailed and I have it on my shelves a figure that I am excited and sincerely looks much better physically than in photos of members of the DTF or promotional photos as I indicated before in other collections post

Papo's iguanodon is another very cool figure and honestly it is much better than I expected it to be inside the note of excellence although it does not have the same charm as Paiz's therizinosaurus from my point of view. Colors that are very realistic and sincerely spoils the articulated jaw.

The acrocanthosaurus of Papo 2018 I bought it in the shop of urzeitshop.de and I can say that it is a great and paleoartistically awesome figure is another of the great theropods made by this endearing brand and sincerely does not have to envy with the therizinosaurus of Papo to the best Resin dinosaur companies.

Surely after the competitions of September 29 or 30 I will continue with my stories related to my collections of dinosaurs as promised.

I just bought today August 2 from the Shop of the Museum of Natural Sciences of Madrid the quetzalcoatlus of Papo for me as I have repeated at least two dozen times the best figure of Papo 2018 together with the acrocanthosaurus of Papo 2018 and the therizinosaurus .

Papo's quetzalcoatlus looks like an authentic resin figure, its details in painting, sculpture and texture make it a figure similar to a valuable resin figure. Its size is huge compared to other brands like Safari or Collecta. Its details of the mouth are incomparable and this is the second figure of quetzalcoatlus of Papo along with the one I bought from Miron last July and they look great to make a diorama with the remains of the corpse of triceratops or the corpse of Tyrannosaurus rex of Collecta.

As for Papo's compsognathus, it is bigger than I thought and finely detailed although it is a figure. JW / JP is a figure that has an unmistakable charm and beauty that makes it superior to other brands. On the other hand his eyes have irises (something I thought he did not have that figure) which makes him a much more realistic figure than I would have imagined.

After September 29 I will begin to relate and list the different collections of toy dinosaurs that I have left to list and there are many. Wishing all the members of the forum a happy holiday I say goodbye, independently I will try to stay connected to dinotoyblog.com/forum and in the time that can give me the Library of my summer site I will continue with comments in the forum.

Fully agree with you that Papo's Quetzalcoatlus is extremely detailed, resin quality. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I just made some pictures of it, which I will try to upload this very week. Enjoy your hols btw!
