Recent Acquisitions

[BrontoScorpio]

.... If only I could some day find an original poster like you did in that box to make it really complete

You can buy one like this Here .
Actually there are TWO posters where the 2nd one is much harder to find.

@Duna OMG, such amazing new stuff! Congrats on the Invicta find, it's fantastic!

That cookie can... I need it! So much nostalgia in one tin can! Do they ship it worldwide?

I've sent them an email, I'll let you know. Because in the web the price is only for the Spanish peninsula.

Thank you @Shonisaurus I've sent you a PM about the UKRD collection.

@Libraraptor hehehe, yes they are the monochrome hard plastic version. But still very difficult to clean the paint.

@Fembrogon congrats! The blue whale for 20$ is a very nice price. I like the model a lot.

[Shonisaurus]

@Fembrogon  My congratulations on your new acquisition. The Invicta whale despite the weather is not one of the best one-color toy whales.

@Duna  I have already paid you, you can send me the UKRD dinosaurs. Thanks in advance.

Good heavens, that giant poster is gorgeous. I'd pay at least $100 for that, but I guess it would cost me much more in the very unlikely case I ever found one for sale.

You can get a small version of it from one of the Mickey Maus Magazines. Year should be 92 or 93 or so.

Thanks in advance for anything you can find out! 

[Libraraptor]

Yeah, @Fembrogon, congrats on the Blue Whale!

And yes, @JohannesB, I am with you on that one, I can imagine me paying that much for that big Invicta poster, too

Let us hope we will both find one someday.

[Eocarcharia]

My humble haul for today.

[JohannesB]

Yeah, @Fembrogon, congrats on the Blue Whale!

Yeah, I know, right!

One question about the animals figuring on that poster: the Lambeosaurus is nowhere to be seen, it seems. Why would that be?

EDIT: Oh, I see that a few other animals are also not present (Liopleurodon, Baryonyx, Muttaburrasaurus, Dimetrodon). I am a bit dim So the poster must be from before 1989?

[BlueKrono]

Nice acquisition @Eocarcharia! One of the most creative paint jobs on a dinosaur in recent history.

[Fembrogon]

Nice pick, @Eocarcharia; Bart is becoming one of my favorite PNSO figures in my collection so far. It's a delightful little model!

[Shonisaurus]

@Eocarcharia  My congratulations, that pinacosaurus has very attractive and irresistible paint colors and is a very finished and beautiful figure like all those of PNSO.

[Libraraptor]

Yeah, @Fembrogon, congrats on the Blue Whale!

Yes, I think so. The five figures you mentioned were the last ones Invicta released. I do not know in which order exactly, but it´s either the Lambeosaurus or the Dimetrodon which were the very last figures.

The 12 figure box like mine, with the poster, came in 1988. There was a special edition that replaced one figure for the lambeosaurus.

In 1990 they released a box with 20 figures and with a different art in the poster and in the box. The larger 180 cm poster that has commented Brontoscorpio.

[Shonisaurus]

How lucky you have been! Invicta's lambeosaurus is a very difficult part to come by and usually very expensive. My congratulations.

[Libraraptor]

Congrats, @RobinGoodfellow!

[Shonisaurus]

After a long time of dinosaurian drought, thanks to Duna, I bought UKRD blue nails dinosaurs from the 90s, therefore a bit vintage or at least declassified in perfect condition. I post the group image and then in my "Shonisaurus collection" thread I will post more photos. All thanks Duna, what a Christmas gift I have made for myself!

[Duna]

You are very lucky @RobinGoodfellow to own the special edition of the 12 box with the lambeosaurus! It's even more rare that the lambeo itself (that's is very rare, too).

You are welcome @Shonisaurus I've been purchasing those large figures here and there for a long time so to complete a second set (I own another one myself) and I thought that you were the perfect person to offer because I knew you would appreciate them a lot. I was right.  The 1991 Museum Line collection was the best made by UKRD, lovely solid rubber figures (while most chinasaurus were hollow). And the second paint version, "blue nails" are indeed more rare than the earthy tones first. They are full of nostalgia, I'm happy you like them. I'll keep searching for the Parasaurolophus.


In my case I've just received this lovely rare pair, the 2015 limited edition of Papo velociraptor and standing tyrannosaurus rex repainted in purple rainbow colours. They are very rare, I've seen none on sale for a long time, and the rex went for great $$$$
I'm so happy!




And there's a more preciated gem in this lot ... guess which 

[Shonisaurus]

My congratulations Duna for all your acquisitions are very nice I'm glad you have that limited pair of Papo over the years it will become more and more rare.

By the way, those vintage prehistoric animals I don't know which company they belong to.
