Recent Acquisitions

[Duna]

Also, I can't leave this preamble until I thank @Duna  - you made my day describing Inpros as a holy grail  I thought it was just me and Libraraptor who would even admit to liking them!

Oh, you are not alone, they are incredible! Small, hard plastic, vintage, painted, retro sculpt ... they have everything I like! 

Congrats for that Invicta whale, that's a good catch! Those tethyshadros and the Evolution of Life figures are very good, too. Nice purchases, congrats!

@Fembrogon please stop putting pictures of the Sinclairs, I'm spending more and more time looking at your pictures and that's no good, I know myself very well!
I'm kidding, I love them (more and more!).

Just arrived

[Shonisaurus]

I am very glad that you have purchased one of the latest PNSO news. You are an extremely lucky person.

@Gothmog the Baryonyx Congrats on all your acquisitions.


Huge haul of stuff courtesy of my friend in Germany (Amber Collection Delta, the two Bullyland Mammals, and the two charming figures that where from his childhood) and @brettnj (who helped with the Japanese Mcdonald's Jurassic World eggs, and the Favorite figures, which was forwarded to my friend in Germany). Took over 70 days in transit. Tracking never updated after it was processed at Frankfurt (carrier was DHL and/or Deutsche Post) on April 9th. My friend helped me start an investigation with DHL. Got a letter in the mail the other day from USPS asking if I received it yet. I did not then. Called yesterday (they said it never even arrived to the US) and strangely enough it arrived yesterday? Smh. Box was messed up too but thankfully everything looks intact and accounted for.

I will definitely need to restructure my main display shelf once again with the new haul, despite just doing this the other day.

Congrats on the haul! How are you liking the Cambrian set? I saw that Amazon Japan ships Favorite to Germany, and I'm thinking of getting it. There are not many choices for Cambrian animals, sadly.

My Vastatosaurus from Nanmu just arrived today 
It is a beauty, I'm impressed by the different shape and positions of the teeth, and yet they are very solid.
If anything, maybe it is lacking that bulk the Rebor figure has, but I still prefer this sculpt.
It is very stable even without the base, that does not have metal rods but it's really not needed.
I would never showcase it without the base anyway, it's one of the best I've ever seen and it is very fitting.
And of course the figure arrived perfecly packed from Lana whithout any damage or paint defect.

Here are a few picks of it unpacked, but it went back into its box quite fast since I don't have the space for it right now.
I need to make a new shelf which will have more fiction dinosaurs like JP and Rebor Alien T-Rex.
I've started my collection a year ago, and it's alwready looking good, but I'll wait for it to be more complete before finally showing it here.

[Abobo]

Congrats! this V-Rex is superb!
can't wait to see pictures of your collection

[Carnoking]

Looking forward to getting this figure! I think it'll be fun to have the two REBOR offerings and this one posed together!

Thanks abobo and Carnoking, I indeed might get the Rebor Ice Blue version to have both V-Rex together if I have enough space.

@Psittacoraptor I've been wanting and waiting (and well putting off for other things, sadly) several years now. Since it released honestly. Feels so good to have it now. I'll have to get around to grabbing a pic of all my Cambrian things at some point. Amazing how one of my first posts here was asking what kind of Cambrian period figures might be out there, and how far I've come with my collection at this point. Just the Colorata set, and perhaps a few others left at this point.

[Shonisaurus]

@SenSx My congratulations, what a luxury to have that figure! honestly that base is extremely artistic and spectacular. I am very happy for you, this fantastic dinosaur has a charm that other figures from other brands do not have.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Congrats on your lovely acquisitions,  especially @Mellow Stego for your namesake

Then congrats on finally getting the set!  I think I'll get it some time in the future. Amazon Japan doesn't ship Colorata to Germany (maybe missing CE certification?), so the Favorite set is pretty much the only choice I have. I'm very fond of Cambrian animals, in particular Opabinia and Hallucigenia, so I'd like models for those at least.

OT: How do I "@" someone's post so I don't have to quote the entire thing? I can't find the option.

[Faelrin]

@Psittacoraptor Just type @ before the person's name.  A little thing should pop up for you to select the name, but I don't think that is fully necessary. It should work automatically if the name is correct.

Thanks  Shonisaurus and Gothmog the Baryonyx !
It isn't indeed the most affordable figure 
But I really like it, even if it isn't bulky enough compare to the original material from the movie (that Rebor depicted better).
But it gives it a more agile look in my opinion.

[sauroid]

this showed up at my doorstep today...
it's a beauty

[Dusty Wren]

Congrats, @sauroid! That Allosaurus is definitely on my list to buy this year.

Continuing the PNSO appreciation theme, look who arrived today!



Ordered from Amazon on June 10, so this is much earlier than expected (I'm in the US).

She's absolutely lovely. Yutyrannus is one of my favorite therapods, and I'm so happy to finally have one in my collection. So many great details in this figure, from the textured pads on the feet to the little tuft of feathers on the chin.

She feels sturdy on her feet, too, even though the middle toe of her back foot doesn't touch the ground.

[SidB]

Wonderful piece. I know that some were unhappy with the pose, but I like both the difference from other PNSO  theropod positioning and the sense of threat represented by the crouching/ forward leaning aspect.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Congrats @sauroid and @Dusty Wren on your PNSO theropods!

By the way, Dusty, if yiu have the Safari Yutyrannus I'd like to see how they look together?

[Faelrin]

@Dusty Wren Congrats on the Yutyrannus. Looks great.

[Dusty Wren]

S @SidB, the pose is really great. It's hard to see in the side view, but the torso twists slightly to the right, so it looks like the Yutyrannus is shifting her weight and leaning into a turn. It's dynamic and sells the idea of a moving animal well.

Sorry, @Gothmog the Baryonyx, I don't have the Safari. The featherless head always bugged me, so I never got around to buying it. I did take a group shot with some other shaggy, brownish therapods though:
