Recent Acquisitions

[Fembrogon]

That Medusaceratops looks extraordinary; surely one of the finest Beasts of the Mesozoic figures to date.

And Collecta's Gigantspinosaurus is also very nice indeed! A lovely pair of acquisitions.

[Paleo Flo]

A great pair of cool dinos!

Some new things that I got last week.

That Ilu is pretty cool. Impressive amount of paint for a toy, or maybe I've just grown too accustomed to Mattel's increasingly lacking paint apps.

S @SidB what tree set is that next to the Ruyangosaurus? How tall is it?

Hey, @EmperorDinobot , it's a baobab tree by CollectA. It's approximately 14 inches tall and cost me about 30 USD several years ago. It is still in production, I think.

I think I'm going to buy a few...

I received the Ruyangosaurus a couple of days ago from Minizoo, and I've gotta say, it's got my vote for best prehistoric figure of 2023. A beautiful sculpt and a decent size for a sauropod toy. And it's probably the best Titanosaur figure currently available. Absolutely LOVE it!

I know I'm abit late to the party but- I've finally got Rebor's King Trident Triceratops - Wished I could've gotten Horn of doom as well but C'est La Vie

[Thialfi]

Never too late to obtain a beautiful figure - congratulations! And everyone else of course with the overwhelming amount of acquisitions.

[ceratopsian]

The good thing about being "late" with a figure is that it reminds the rest of us once more about it!

[JimoAi]

My first figure from my sizable birthday haul: the BOTM Tyrannosaurus. It was supposed to be an Xmas gift but ended up arriving a week b4 my birthday. I finally have a lipped Tyrannosaurus in my collection and the seams don't look too bothersome and that's coming from a guy that prefers static figures.

[Fembrogon]

I got a shockingly good deal on a lot of vintage/classic dinosaurs on Facebook Marketplace - well, maybe not shockingly, as a few of the most valuable figures were pretty scuffed and sticky. Nevertheless, I acquired two painted Invicta Muttaburasaurs, a Toyway WWD T. rex, and everything else pictured here for just over $40!



The figures are doing a little better after some cleaning, but the Muttas and the rex are still showing lots of wear. I'm feeling sorely tempted to look into options to touch a couple of them up with paint, although this would be my first time trying it. Any advice on that front would be appreciated.
I don't need to keep both Muttas, so I may try selling or trading one (before touch-ups) sometime in the future. The Brachio is also pretty banged up, so I might just donate it with the cheaposaurs here. The AAA raptor will stay, though.

[SidB]

Congrats, @Fembrogon , especially on the Mutta's. I can't remember the last time that I've seen a painted one for sale.

[Paleo Flo]

Nice painted Muttas indeed! Wow & congrats!

[Pliosaurking]

My Botm WWD 1:35 scale Rex is here! What a beautiful piece! Best Accurate Tyrannosaurus in my collection hands down!

[Fembrogon]

It's a beaut, for sure! Congrats on the acquisition!

I've acquired the following:

1. Safari 2019 Pteranodon.  Yes, I changed my mind and bought another one.  Unlike the previous copy I had, the one I got today is painted perfectly.  I'm happy with it and I'm keeping it.

2. Safari Prestosuchus.  I got past not liking the stripes on its face and decided I wanted it.  Unfortunately the one I received has each nostril a different colour.  I've bought another one and hopefully it won't be defective.

3. Beasts of the Mesozoic 1:18 Linheraptor.  I bought my first BotM figures!  I was surprised by how small the 1:18 dromaeosaurids are and how precise the detail on them is.  What a coincidence though that the Linheraptor I got has the exact same defect as the Prestosuchus!  So I've ordered another BotM Linheraptor which I hope will be free of defects.

4. Beasts of the Mesozoic 1:18 Velociraptor.  I love it!  It's excellent!  Velociraptor mongoliensis becomes the first species in my collection which I have more than one figure of.

5. Beasts of the Mesozoic 1:18 Dromaeosaurus.  I'm very happy with it.  It's nice to have a Dromaeosaurus.  I think I can see why David didn't make the legs longer on it, in person it looks fine.

6. Safari 2022 Albertosaurus.  I'm stunned by how fine the scales on it get!  @Doug Watson I don't know how you can physically make the scales so small but you are an expert at sculpting and I am in awe at how good the Safari 2022 Albertosaurus is.

7. Safari Nasutoceratops.  I managed to obtain it even though it's retired, like with the Pachyrhinosaurus.  I think I have all the Safari ceratopsids I need now, out of the ones they have made.

Thank you @Halichoeres for my new, monochrome pterosaur! Just right up my alley!
