Recent Acquisitions

[Faelrin]

@IrritatorRaji Oh nice. I'll have to see about picking this little figure up at some point (along with some of the others probably).

And yikes. I hope I'll be able to obtain one some day. The ones on the US Ebay are going for like 4 times + what it is worth (not counting shipping).

[IrritatorRaji]

Newest addition!

Except, it's not actually at my house, it's not even in my country! There's an artist in Spain who's repainting the Papo Velociraptor for me, I bought it and sent it to his address and it just arrived. So excited!



(Side note, maaaaan Papo really stop caring about their models after a couple years, don't they? When I bought this figure to repaint in 2017 I remember it looking exactly like its stock image, it was a deep brown, had a stunning green iridescence on its feathers and such a gentle golden shimmer on its torso... the 2018 version looks really bad! Like someone just went to town with an airbrush and called it a day. And the wings! You can see the bare plastic where the white feathers end and the black ones start. Oh well, glad I'm getting it repainted )

[Shonisaurus]

@IrritatorRaji I congratulate you on your new acquisition, the feathered velociraptor of Papo is for me much more successful than its other four velociraptor without feathers with its variants of colors.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

The Papo Feathered Velociraptor was my first dinosaur figure as an adult. It's a great model mostly, one of Papo's best.
The PNSO Archaeopteryx is nice too.



And those retro Dinosaurs 'oldies' look very nice

Well, these arrived from Hong Kong:

[Archosauria]

Hey all!
I've been on a bit of a hiatus as of recently, but I'm glad to finally be back on!

I've managed to get quite a handful of new figures over the past four months.

I got the Southlands Thylacoleo and Thylacine, the Safari LTD Gastornis, the Papo Acrocanthosaurus, the Battat Stegosaurus and Cryolophosaurus, the Safari LTD Stegosaurus and Vagaceratops, numerous WotW birds, the JWFK Gallimimus, Minmi, Stegosaurus, Carnotaurus, Ceratosaurus, Pteranodon, Mosasaurus, Ankylosaurus, the "Sinoceratops" that is actually a Pachyrhinosaurus, the battle damage Pachycephalosaurus, the super posable Indoraptor, the Lego Stygimoloch set, and the Roarivores Triceratops.

That's all the figures I've managed to get over the past four months! I'm now focusing mainly on obtaining the rest of the basic JWFK dinosaurs and some prehistoric mammals.

@Gothmog the Baryonyx , @Archosauria y @Roselaar I congratulate you on your new acquisitions.

Got Stiggy:

Also saw the Grab n´Growl Indoraptor. I tested it a little bit, seems like a fun figure. But it is out of my league right now and I'm not even sure If I need it.

[JohannesB]

Got my Kaiyodo Sofubi Toy Box Tyrannosaurus today. (My first purchase in months.) I like it. It has a thin line of feathers along its spine, which is okay, because it is not too obtrusive.



I also mailed out a special little dinosaur figure to be painted by Martin Garratt. It will be my first commissioned paint job and I am very excited about it :-)

[stargatedalek]

Battle Damage figures! These were the only two Walmart exclusives that were on my list, since these sculpts aren't in the main line (are in other store exclusive lines). Galli make a great pair and Blue is improvement from Attack Pack Blue.





Blue seems to have gotten a very different reception this time around!

Technically the raptors are a bit to small compared to Figma's, but that's going to change when the 6 inch scale Blue comes out! When she does, well, repainting these two was always in consideration.




If I had the space, patience and money I would buy a bunch of these, have always loved the idea of army building.

Was pleasantly surprised to see this Gallimimus is an entirely new sculpt, not a retool of the Attack pack one. I prefer it a lot and it stands much better.

[Faelrin]

Wow good to see you finally got Battle Damage Blue. Easily the best Blue of the ones available in terms of both articulation and paint apps (for the 3 and 3/4 scale anyways). And I'm really digging that Gallimimus. Although after getting a better look at it, it seems a bit darker then the Legacy one. But it still looks like a great addition. I have to wonder when it will hit the states stores, as well as the remaining unreleased Battle Damage figures such as the Pteranodon and yellow looking Velociraptor.

[Shonisaurus]

@stargatedalek I congratulate you on your beautiful acquisitions of dinosaurs. Thank you for sharing these magnificent photographs.

[Brontozaurus]

Stuck my head in Target's toy section while I was looking for other stuff and found a lone Sinoceratops among a pile of older FK toys. You bet I bought that thing on sight.

Resemblance to Sinoceratops aside it's quite nice, probably my favourite Roarivore.

[Flaffy]

Fresh from amazon, as local stores have pretty much stopped stocking JWFK stuff.
Was lucky enough to get a Ceratosaurus that stands, and was unlucky that my Proceratosaurus has a messed up right eye, and my ankylosaurus has pretty poor assembly near the tail.
The suchomimus is really growing on me though. I'm glad they toned down the neon yellow.

[IrritatorRaji]

My Papo Velociraptor repaint from Gex P Droche arrived! I love it so much, I wasn't a massive fan of the original colours

[Faelrin]

@IrritatorRaji Wow, what a beautiful repaint. It does that sculpt well.

And I have some exciting news. It may have cost me a pretty penny for this thing, but I couldn't be more happy to have it here. I'm waiting for my mom to get back from her errand to use her camera's phone since it has much better quality then mine, for a good number of fun pics I'd like to take with it, but for now, here it is, the Mattel Jurassic World Legacy Collection Spinosaurus:

@IrritatorRaji  the repaint looks beautiful, looks like a desert bird and that look fits very well, @Faelrin Congrats on your Spinosaurus!

[MLMjp]

@Faelrin I'm very happy that you manged to get a Spinosaurus. I feel so sorry for the people of USA that can't access to that bad boy/girl because of the Target FIASCO. I remember when it was announced, I though I would be in the same situation. That the Spinosaurus would never come to my country. But it came and now I own it (In fact I believe I was the first forum member to get one).

It is ironic and sad that people like me in Europe have been able to get the Spinosaurus on retail while people in North America have not. When it is usually the other way around. And now I feel like a privileged person because I have a Spinosaurus.
