Recent Acquisitions

[Shonisaurus]

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.

In my opinion, you were right

I have received some Minizoo novelties from the Mojo 2020 dinosaurs and I can assure you both their baryonyx, troodon, madschuosaurus and spinosaurus are tall figures.

The Mojo 2020 giganotosaurus exceeds its previous version and what spoils it are its oversized feet (it has no articulated jaw) on the other hand the brontosaurus and mamenchisaurus would be excellent figures if it had tripled Mojo or at least doubled in size.

Wow, nice finds everyone!
As for myself, I recently bought Ely Kish´a Dinosaurs from China Yangchuanosaurus, unfourtunately without the background, but anyway.

[Loon]

Congrats on all the great acquisitions everyone!

Here's what's come in recently:

My first order from Urzeitshop finally arrived. I mostly ordered this lot to get the AAOD Australovenator, but, Urzeitshop had some nice figures I'd been looking for, so I added them in.


Continuing the German theme, I received this lovely Arizonasaurus from @Libraraptor (as well as an old school Schleich Baryonyx and, I think, my first UKRD figure, stegosaurus). The Bullyland Paratypothorax was won on eBay, as was the Schleich Shonisaurus.

The Shonisaurus is freaking huge. I was shocked by how big it is, I love it!

Finally, and by no means leastly, my first custom. Kyle Brandon Bishop on Facebook has done quite a few customs of Mattel's Jurassic World line, and the minute I saw his Amber Collection JP3 Velociraptor, I had to have it.

The only problem I have with it is that I now need a female to go along with it.

Nice haul!

Still waiting on another company to do  a Shoni..been a long time.

[Libraraptor]

Great haul,  @Loon , I am happy that the Arizonasaurus arrived quickly and safely.

[Faelrin]

@Loon Fantastic additions there. I still hope I can acquire some of those (specifically the Bullyland figures and Schleich Shonisaurus) in the future but no doubt it would be a long time from now. That custom JPIII raptor looks amazing too.

[Shonisaurus]

@Loon I congratulate you on your new acquisitions the arizinosaurus and paratypothorax are quite rare in the toy market because both figures are discontinued.

On the other hand, Schleich's shonisaurus is immense and I still have the same affection I had when I bought that figure in 2005 if I remember correctly. I hope that some company of toy dinosaurs or collectibles make acceptable that marine reptile that is my favorite and is a prehistoric animal with which I identify as a pseudonym.

[PrimevalRaptor]

Really great haul! The Shonisaurus is still one of Schleich's best models, of course there's parts that are outdated now but it's just SO massive, truly an impressive model and their best marine reptile imo.
Maybe Safari or CollectA will give us an updated model (or maybe Shastasaurus if they wanna go even bigger)?

[Shonisaurus]

My congratulations on your new acquisition of pliosaurus. It is a beautiful and curious figure. I'm glad for you.

[ceratopsian]

? @Stolpergeist - what a kind lady!  Congratulations on your acquisition.

Lovely aquisitions, and by the way do they still have any of those Age of Dinosaurs Australovenator's left @Loon ?

[Loon]

@Gothmog the Baryonyx Last I checked they were sold out

[Libraraptor]

Congrats,  ? @Stolpergeist to that highly sought after Museum exclusive!

As for myself,  I got myself 1993 Safari Yangchuanosaurus and 1998 Parasaurolophus:

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I actually just decided a week ago to part with that Para and her matching hatchling, same for the Hypacrosaurus. I didn't know anyone was really still looking for the older WS dinos.  The Yangchuano now is a good, one I think the pose is unique still, I like that Ely Kish did them, and I have maybe two Yangs in my collection?

[Shonisaurus]

@Libraraptor I congratulate you on your new acquisitions of yangchuanosaurus and parasaurolophus from Safari. The yangchuanosaurus of Safari (Dinosaurs of China) was the only one I had in my collection until the yangchuanosaurus mini and that of the PNSO changchuanosaurus and chungkingosaurus set arrived to accompany that figure. I'm glad for you.

[ItsTwentyBelow]

I just received the CollectA Edaphosaurus in the mail, and wow, this figure borders on perfection. Really well done, and bigger than I expected. Scales nice with the Favorite Dimetrodon.

Very happy and impressed!

[Shonisaurus]

@ItsTwentyBelow I congratulate you on your new acquisition. Yes, Collecta's edaphosaurus really impresses, in fact it is the best prehistoric toy animal awarded by the prestigious Prehistoric Times magazine.

[ItsTwentyBelow]

Thanks guys, I think it is very deserving of that title.

Makes me excited for the Lisowicia!

[Shonisaurus]

Thanks guys, I think it is very deserving of that title.

Makes me excited for the Lisowicia!

I sincerely believe that Collecta lisowicia bojani is a very clear candidate to be the best Prehistoric Times figure of this year 2020, although we also know that he has his competence, even in Safari figures.

However, it is the prehistoric non-dinosaur animal that has impacted me the most.

[Eocarcharia]

My latest arrivals: Safari's entire 2020 lineup, plus the Papo Dimetrodon and Polacanthus. With its retirement this year, I also decided to get 2 extra of Safari's Nasutoceratops before they're gone that I'll be repainting.
