Recent Acquisitions

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Ooh, that's a nice Iguanodon

[Carnoking]

I have a love/hate relationship with PNSO's rex family but at the end of the day I am glad to finally have them all together. Seeing them posed with one another is the sort of serotonin hit I want from my dinosaur collection.

[SidB]

Definitely a rogues gallery of killers, but, oddly enough, somewhat touching.

[PrimevalRaptor]

Stumbled upon the new Mattel Masiakasaurus by chance, not the most accurate one with those proportions but I love seeing less often represented species and I won't lie, the gnarly look would fit right in with Primeval, charming little fellow.

[Baryonyx]

I have just gotten the Qualia Lambeosaurus and Triceratops courtesy of @brettnj

I know these have already been seen on the forum but here are some shots:

The Lambeosaurus just about  can stand in for a juvenile (its crest is proportionally small, at least in comparison to the PNSO).

Here we have a 'forced' perspective example of it in a 1:40/35 context (as a fully grown animal I mean):



and homage to the new Sue statue:



A lovely figure and so nice to see more Lambeosaurus attention! The eyes are very carefully painted.


the Triceratops is fantastic too; a larger scale version of this pose would be something to behold! Very nicely detailed. Sorry if the photo doesn't give much sense of scale.


Highly recommend!

[ITdactyl]

Oh yeah, they do look good - gaps and seamlines aside.

That pic with the trike is pretty grim though.  

[Libraraptor]

Although I don´t like boring Ceratopsian figures, I like fresh ideas and poses. So I really like that Triceratops.

[Shonisaurus]

My congratulations on your two new acquisitions of Qualia, their postures are interesting and original, I like that they innovate in terms of new forms of posture, those of that lambeosaurus and triceratops are cooler than the conventional figures to which we are accustomed. different dinosaur companies on those two extinct species.

[Duna]

Congrats, @Baryonyx those Qualia figures are the best of the group. 

[Psittacoraptor]

@Baryonyx Congrats on the Qualias, the Lambeosaurus is impressive, no matter how many times I see it.

[sauroid]

those Qualia are very nice and tempting, hope to be able to get them someday...
meanwhile my PNSO Torvo has arrived. not as impressive as the Tarbosaurus but not really that bad.

[Gwangi]

I don't know what compels me to mostly ignore this thread and then randomly post here but here's my latest. The Takara Tomy Fukuisaurus, which is MUCH smaller than I anticipated. It's my first Takara toy so I was caught a little off guard. I like it more than the CollectA Fukuisaurus though, and it's cheaper than the one by Favorite. There will be a review on the blog for it within the next couple weeks.

The William Stout coloring book should motivate me to sit down with my daughter and color with her more. It's a little daunting though, not gonna lie.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Very nice acquisitions, fellow humans.
Those qualia are indeed quite nice.
The William Stout book looks interesting.

[Shonisaurus]

@sauroid My congratulations, honestly that torvosaurus is even superior to its Collecta counterpart, it seems to me a great figure, ideal to have it on the best shelves.

@Gwangi My congratulations that Takara Tomy rivals in beauty with her collecta counterpart or with her fellow Favorite.

[Fembrogon]

Nice catches, @Gwangi; those Takara figures are small, but they're great when you get a bunch of them together. I've been considering getting that coloring book as well; the Prehistoric Times magazine also has a series of coloring books that might be worth looking into.

I just had an item drop in from eBay today; I found a Xidi/Happy Kin/Kid Galaxy/whatever-brand Allosaur on sale for 8 bucks, shipping included. It's hardly an accurate figure, but besides the ugly screw holes, it's a pretty good generic carnosaur in the Hasbro/Chap Mei style. I suspect the figure is taking inspiration from some of Dorling Kindersly's 3D artwork, similar to how other figures in this line are clearly based on the older DK models.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

It did arrive whilst I was on holiday. On the first working day actually, was sitting in a neighbour's house almost a week, but finally I have my GR Toys Dicreosaurus. Will open box tomorrow, and put photos in my thread.

[SidB]

Good self-restraint! Opening it tomorrow will be the reward.

[Shonisaurus]

@Fembrogon My congratulations, nice acquisition.

@Gothmog the Baryonyx I congratulate you the dicraeosaurus from GR Toys. I admire you that you have such a great acquisition. Be very happy with her. It is a great figure according to the photos and videos that I see of that magnificent dinosaur model and it is also a different new dinosaur figure!

[Mellow Stego]

One of my favorite ceratopsain.

[Shonisaurus]

@Mellow Stego My congratulations is very nice. My favorite ceratopsid by far is kosmoceratops, I hope to buy everythingdinosaur that beautiful BoTM figure.
