Noted.

Thanks for that reminder, avatar_Gwangi @Gwangi. I shall inquire of Adam what his plans are and if necessary, we'll scrub those listings in question.

Fantastic! It will be nice to read another reviewer's take on some of these Marx figures. With that, the Megatherium shall be my last Marx review. You have my blessing as well avatar_BlueKrono @BlueKrono.

Yeah, I have/had so much on this year I just won't get around to it, so better to let someone else have their say. Maybe there will be one or two Marx left for me to review when I eventually have the time...

Well, avatar_DinoToyForum @dinotoyforum, it might surprise you to learn that there aren't any left! I've done 15 of them over the last year, I have 1 more left, Lanthanotus did 3, and avatar_BlueKrono @BlueKrono has now reserved the remaining 3. The Iguanodon however, is still reserved by you.

I'm surprised a company as iconic and foundational as Marx took this long to be completed. I have the original clay model of the Struthio though, so I'll be able to include some good pictures. I also discovered which painting it was based on just this year (hint: it's not of a  Struthiomimus), so I'll be able to throw in some interesting history as well.

Same! Which is why I took it upon myself to tackle the company, despite not being much of a Marx expert. It's been a fun journey. And never mind that the line hasn't been completely reviewed yet. The DTB was launched in 2007 and the first Marx review was posted in 2019, it took 12 years for the first Marx review to show up! Looks up it's up to you to see in through from here.

I recommend starting with The Communist Manifesto, and Duck Soup.

You jest, but I'm not much of an expert on that Marx either.

Ever flew in an Airplane ?
Sorry...
Jokes aside,  it really is surprising it took 12 years for the first on to show up.

I can take the 2020 Safari Dilophosaurus; also, do the Mattel Amber Collection Pteranodon and Delta still need reviewers?

Can I do the Tamiya T.Rex(larger 1/35)? I might have to do this one in April...
Any Giganotosauruses are friends. Any other carnivores are...I think I'll run now.
