Recent Acquisitions

[Duna]

Yes I did a bit of research on here before bidding (I'm in awe of the Forum's collective wisdom 👍) and as far as I could see it's been referred to as Unitatherium.
Not sure at all about accuracy, but it's a nice looking 1980s figure and a cut above Jaru's usual fare.

That uintatherium is a very good figure from Jaru, I have one but I'm missing the macrauchaenia that is very nice, too. Those solid colored plastic are quite rare, I have only seen the painted ones.


I got a WWD Toyway Iguanodon with a lot of wear (I have already the complete collection but I couldn't leave such a wonderful figure to the trash) but I decided a different thing ... I always loved the coloration of the "American iguanodon" from the series, so I decided to repaint it to look like that. I understand perfectly that Toyway went for the "European" coloration, which is a hundred times easier to paint. It has been quite difficult as I'm not an expert in painting, so I made some mistakes and corrected them.

That repainted Iguanodon is beautiful.
I recently rewatched that series and that is a very faithful restoration

Lovely repaint! Congratulations on the pickup as well. Would love to see those colors on Safari's or CollectA's Iguanodon.

[Crackington]

Yes agree, what a lovely paint job @Duna  - looks like a new figure and exactly like the series 👍.

The blue Uintatherium is also a hand-painted figure and not by the company. The guy I bought the job-lot off is a minature gamer enthusiast and bought the Jaru figures a while ago for a science fiction game. He thought the Uintatherium and the Macrauchenia made good alien beasts for the game and so painted a couple of them!

By the way I've actually now got some spares of each so will resurrect my old trade thread soon.

thats a great repaint of the WWD Iguanodon looks even better than the original. (it sort of resembles the old CollectA Iguanodon painjob)
anyway one of my recents is this PNSO Euhelopus

[Eocarcharia]

@Duna That looks fantastic! Great job!

@sauroid Nice! That's a truly impressive figure.

I made another surprising catch on eBay - surprising because no one else bid on this set, so I won these three Invictas for less than $40 after shipping. I already have Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus (albeit in storage right now), but the Plesiosaurus is brand new for me; it's scuffed around the face, but otherwise looks great.



Another item arrived today, which, while not a toy, is certainly toy-related:



With as much as I've been eating up vintage toys lately, I thought I'd go ahead and get myself some reference literature on the subject. I haven't had a chance to poke through it much yet, but it looks to be a worthwhile read!

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

I used to play with the Invicta Plesiosaurus in the bath as a kid. Nice times.

@Fembrogon
Nice catch on the dinosaur playsets book. It's truly a labor of love.

[Eocarcharia]

Picked up the Nedry Set from my local Target yesterday. Started cutting into the ties before taking the picture.

[EmperorDinobot]

It'd love to look inside that book @Fembrogon

[Fembrogon]

There are some photos by J @japfeif directly in one of his threads for the book. I don't want to steal too much of his thunder.

Thanks so much for the kind words on the book!!!! So appreciate the support!

Just a reminder for anyone interested wanting a reference to the vintage Marx & MPC (and copies!) playsets...I still have a few books still listed for sale on eBay & thru Amazon!!!

Thanks guys!

[Shonisaurus]

@Duna  my congratulations that iguanodon is improved and reminds me of old times. Nice repainting!

@sauroid  My congratulations, that PNSO figure is one of my favorites, although it is very large in my collection.

@EmperorDinobot Magnificent ceratopsid figures from BoTM that einosaurus makes a great group with other toy figures of its kind. Nice pose and funny posture of that as I call it ceratopsid bison.

Congratulations @Fembrogon  is an impressive find considering that Invicta dinosaurs have prices that are impossible on the eBay market.

@Eocarcharia My congratulations, Matell's JW / JP movie figures are great and some of the most varied on the market.

[Halichoeres]

@Duna very nice repaint!

[Libraraptor]

@Duna : I like the idea of painting the American Version. It went out well!

Very nice addidtions everyone!

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

Congrats to everyone.
@Fembrogon fantastic! I loved the Invicta Plesiosaurus as a Child. I hope, i will get the Pliosaur/Liopleurodon back one day. One of my alltime favs. And a really intersting Book. I know, that theres something for everything out there, but this is quite specific

Today in the Mail:

It is fantastic, @dinotoyforum!
Also: My first Kaiyodos. I just wanted the Quetz, but they were on Sale on AliExpress for 2,80 Euros each. Sadly, the Iguanodon was sold out.

[Callophrys]

My PNSO Allosaurus arrived today! It's a beautiful sculpt of one of the 3 classic therapods from my childhood (along with T. rex & Ceratosaurus). More pics in my collection thread:
