Recent Acquisitions

[DinoToyForum]

Recent Acquisitions, round 2. Ding ding ding!

This is a continuation of the previous Recent Aquisitions thread here: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=16.0

This is the reason for the new thread:

I'm going to draw a line under this Recent Acquisitions topic. It has received over a million views and over ten thousand replies, that's quite an accomplishment! But that's more than enough for a single forum thread - I think 10,000 replies is a reasonable cut off point! So, I'll create a new thread of the same name, and turn this old thread into an archive.  May the next thread receive 10,000 replies and a million views, also! 

So, keep 'em coming.

Well, that was the most epic forum thread ever.

Had a bit of a Jurassic" haul this week:

[PhilSauria]

Back in the day I checked that Predatory Dinosaurs book out of the local library soooo many times. Now I have my own copy and funnily enough it's an 'ex-library' copy! (I have no aversion to buying these - get 'em for a good price and with a protective plastic sleeve over the cover). I fear that the only way I'll see that Suchomimus on the shelf is if someone overseas buys it on my behalf (and I have a proxy lined up so we'll see how that plays out) - as nothing beyond the first wave appears to be showing up down here in Aus. Nice haul, as they say and thanks for sharing the experience.

Nice haul, the Stiggy are very cute. And congrats on being the first to post your acquisitions in the new thread @Loon !

[Neosodon]

Is there anything inside those eggs? For some reason they look suspicious.

[mgaguilar]

Great haul @Loon. I'm waiting for the Spino to grab anymore Mattel at the moment.



Just got my second one in the mail! Now I have two, one in a standing position and the other in a lunging position.
About to order the orange-striped version. Can't make up my mind about ordering the 18C version.

@Loon Question: Does the Yellow Galli come with the variant Dimorphodon? All marketing photos for the Yellow Galli come with the green crouching raptor.

[Shonisaurus]

The yellow gallimimus is very cool, for me the best figure in the group, but for that reason the stygimoloch and dimorphodon are beautiful.

Just a week ago, I've acquired Robert Bakker's The Dinosaur Heresies. I have not finished it yet. Chapter 13 at the moment, but I'm also busy studying GINA 2018 at the same time. Need to finish it too. 😂😂😂

Congrats on your awesome hauls everyone! 😂

Yes, it comes with the green raptor; but, I already had one, so, I didn't figure like it was really new enough to share.

My mom found these today shopping at a Walmart. They were the only ones in stock too. So this nearly completes my Wave 2 (? Still not sure what is from which wave what at this point now) additions. It just leaves the Attack Pack Stygimoloch and Suchomimus left (I think). I love this Pteranodon's sounds so much, and the ball jointed head is pretty cool. Kind of reminds me of Rodan, which I suppose is appropriate in a way. The Imaginext Stiggy is pretty cute too. I'm not sure if I want to take it out of the package later since it looks pretty cool in the egg, but knowing me, I probably will. I'll have more pics in the Mattel JW thread:

Nice grabs @Faelrin!
Seems like everyone is on the hunt for Mattel lately.

This 'lil Mojo just shipped in:


Looking forward to seeing how Mojo grows as a company to provide better toys (as this one is still very much so a toy).
But if their 2018 releases (ever get released *ahem*) are anything to go by in terms of progress, this company may be a solid contender in 2020 for collections.

[Nimravus]

The new Mojo Tyranno is much better than I thought! I must give it another chance! I will think about it, but there is too much to acquire yet!

[Shonisaurus]

I assure you that the figures of the Moran tyrannosaurus red version and green version in person are better than seeing them through any type of photos, both promotional, exhibition and collections of forum members.

Its material is very resistant when it comes to having falls. In fact, my two red and green tyrannosaurs from Mojo are on a shelf on both sides, two meters high and I can assure you that they have fallen on several occasions and have not suffered abrasions and damage. It is a pity that this year's Mojo dinosaurs are not made of the same material as they are made of PVC.

Summarizing the recommendations are interesting and remarkable figures of the best dinosaur pop art. They are paleoartistically very detaile

Some new stuff I ordered from ED last week:

CollectA Deluxe Pteranodon-he may not be the most accurate or spectacular Pterosaur toy on the world, but it doesn't mean this guy is bad-I love his colors and the details on the wings! Oh, and I really wanted him when I was a kid (I grew up with CollectA).

Papo Blue Velociraptor- I JUST LOVE HOW COLORFULL AND EXPRESSIVE HE IS! My fav 'JP' Raptor toy at the moment.

CollectA Mosasaurus-Pretty and colorfull-My fav toy Marine Reptile at the moment. I Only wish inside of his mouth was more gloss, It would make him even more life-like!

[Shonisaurus]

I really like the pteranodon from Collecta deluxe from its old days, it is very well done compared to others from different companies.

Collecta's mosasaurus is one of my favorites and I do not even have to say that Papo's velociraptor Blue is very popular considering the success of the movie JW. I congratulate you on your new acquisitions Dragonrider02

[Nimravus]

Hi guys,

these are my new friends, the postman brought home last week!



The Quetzalcoatlus is magnificent, and really big! I would say in scale 1/20. The Brontosaurus is almost the same size as the Malawisaurus, Safari issued this year, worth for the money it costs.



Wrt the extants species, I fully recommend the CollectA's african civet and the leopard seal, although the others are nice as well (Papo's harbour seal, Schleich's wild boar and koala, and the Safari´s red deer).

More pictures in my Thread.

Enjoy the Saturday!

To many dinosaurs from the past few months I spent absent to really go over in detail (I'm not even sure I can remember whether quite a few things arrived before or after), so here are some silly Jurassic World figure highlights from the past few months instead:

[AcroSauroTaurus]

Got these recently, I know its not much, but worth posting right?
JWFK Metriacanthosaurus, "Stygimoloch", Baryonyx, and Parasaurolophus minis.
