Recent Acquisitions

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Lovely acquisitions here, very nice everyone.
Also colour me impressed that Schleich did decent hands for the Brontosaurus

[PrimevalRaptor]

That Schleich Brontosaurus looks like he just does not give a crap anymore. You're right, the attitude is kind of charming. I can really relate to this plastic dinosaur.

You know...I think that's a VERY big mood indeed nowadays lmao

And agreed @Thialfi, I do like the bulk it has (without just being a big heap of meat), I think if the nostrils were fixed, this could be Schleichs best Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus.

[Shonisaurus]

@PrimevalRaptor My congratulations that brontosaurus is by far the best of its kind from the Schleich brand.

@Thialfi My congratulations on all your new acquisitions. Indeed, these PNSO, Safari and Schleich figures are totally essential figures for every collector.

My Safari Spinosaurus finally shipped!

[laticauda]

Thank you @Shonisaurus! I am very happy indeed with this already iconic figure.

I got some more in as well today; I received a gift voucher from a friend which I used to pick up the Safari kaprosuchus (which actually kind of warmed me up for the new Schleich one - I like the Papo one as well, but not sure if I can look past the inaccuracies) and a Schleich postosuchus. I am not really a Schleich person, but there is something about this little weirdo that really appealed to me. And can't pass up the rare chance at a Triassic animal of course.

Ah, and the PNSO lambeosaurus. I promised myself I would focus on non-dinosaurian prehistoric animals from now on, but seeing the enthusiasm surrounding this figure I just had to see it in person. Found a good enough deal and the rest is history. She's a beauty. So elegant! I am smitten.



The PNSO lambeosaurus does look rather sweet.  I might have to pick that up.

A late birthday gift. Loving this figure, BUT



Oh well, when life gives you lemons....



Honestly, though, I don't mind it. If anything, it makes me more excited for the the upcoming T. rex 



























Also got the three new Safari Figures. Love the Daspletosaurus, I think it's everything you could want in a Tyrannosaur figure. (with the possible exception of feather integument)
The baryonyx is also great, but the spinosaurus...well... I could take it or leave it. Most likely leave it.

And am I crazy, or are these things made out of a different material than the past Safari figures?

[Concavenator]

Congrats to everyone! Really nice pictures, @Carnoking, great to see more pics of the new Safaris!

Today I got the Papo Gorgosaurus and Megaloceros (yes, another non-dinosaur!!  ) from my local shop. This year I'm getting more figures as there's only a few pieces left until I consider my collection "complete" (by my standards). There are only a few selected pieces left.

I said before that if I were to choose between getting the Papo Pentaceratops or the Gorgosaurus I would choose the Penta. Now that I finally own both, my opinion is that both are great (in a Papo way, they're some of the best when it comes to dinosaurs from them imo). Glad to finally have a Gorgosaurus in my collection, it's a genus I've been waiting for quite some time to have a figure of and I also wanted to have an Albertosaurinae tyrannosaurid. I quite like this one (and I also have to thank David Krentz for that  ).

The Megaloceros is majestic. I usually don't care too much for non-dinosaurs, but after I saw a Megaloceros' skull with its gargantuan antlers at the Museum of Natural History from Bordeaux 2 years ago (I was impressed, to say the least), I thought it would be interesting to have a model of it in my collection.

These are all for now.

Not a big fan of articulated dinos, myself, but wow, this one sure has "curb appeal."

[Thialfi]

Love those, @Carnoking, congratulations on your new models!



Got this cutie in today, Bullyland procynosuchus!

[sauroid]

@Thialfi the Procynosuchus is a lovely gem, i got mine as a gift from one of the veteran collector members of the DTF and one of my most cherished figures.

Finally, my boi is here:

Now, just waiting for my two Dino Hazard´s Carcharodontosaurus

[Carnoking]

Dangit that thing is gorgeous. I really hope they figure out some international distribution!

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

That Irritator really is a work of art

[sauroid]

that's the best Irritator figure ive ever seen!

Eofauna trikes have arrived!

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Excellent Excellence, glad you have that. And thank you for showing a compar6to another figure, it's good to have a vague idea of size. Looks bigger than the Safari which it should since it's based off a much larger specimen.

[Carnoking]

@Gothmog the Baryonyx The safari trike shows up in my unboxing video if you'd like to see the comparison! (shameless plug, I know)

that's fine lol, I'll definitely check out your video. Thanks for the heads up

[Subduction]

I had no idea the dominant Eofauna Triceratops has dark blue in its color scheme. It looked more like a dark brown in the promotional images. It looks fantastic though. I might have to get it myself now! Thank you for sharing photos, Carnoking!
