Nice!

It is a faff with Instagram but I found out it is possible to embed the image into a forum post with bbcode (but not html, so the embed option offered by Instagram won't work). Finding the URL isn't simple on instagram, but here's a trick: append the text "media/?size=l" to the page URL, and it will redirect to the image URL. In this example the appended URL would be https://www.instagram.com/p/CAfSfzIDqOQ/media/?size=l Include that URL in a post using the image tag, and voila! See:

Oh thank you!

I couldn't manage to get the image to be seen on there but you clearly are better at this than me!

Happy to help!  Looking forward to seeing more of your collection!

[CityRaptor]

I guess that is one way to deal with the issue of shelf space...although I can't help but imagine it as some sort of wacky race.

[Shonisaurus]

Nice collection! I congratulate you on your beautiful collection of prehistoric mammals and extinct birds (dodo). It is honestly a shame that the consuming public (including children) are not very interested in prehistoric mammals. In my case I almost like dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals or mammals from the Ice Age.

[WalkingWithBeasts]

Yes I reckon it could be a race, the way they're all lined up, also thanks for the feedback. I absolutely love prehistoric mammal models - in fact I just ordered the CollectA Elasmotherium and the Mojo Hyaenodon with the Walking with Beasts style paint scheme!

[WalkingWithBeasts]

Here's my Walking with Dinosaurs Toyway collection (plus a few extras including a repainted Schleich Allosaurus, CollectA Ornithocheirus & Plateosaurus)

[DinoToyForum]

The repainted Allosaurus is a great improvement over the original. You just need the Toyway Ornithocheirus holy grail now, to complete the series (like the rest of us!)

[WalkingWithBeasts]

If only...

[Shonisaurus]

I congratulate you on your acquisitions, as Dr. Dinotoyforum Administrator says now we would need an ornithocherius from Toyway to complete the collection ... but because it is impossible and the price will more or less be more than scandolous if it is sold in one auction. I hope that the WWD figures will be reissued is improbable but there is never an impossible and that the ornithocheirus was re-commercialized because it is a pterosaur despite more than twenty years that it has not lost its charm as a prehistoric animal figure at all. As I always say, dreaming is free.

[WalkingWithBeasts]

Thanks. I actually got the Ophthalmosaurus for a mere £38 off eBay and all the rest were cheaper.

[Faelrin]

Wow I love the assortment you have there, in both the mammals and WWD figures. That does make me realize it's kind of a shame there were no figures for either of the WWB or WWM series but well I guess at least the AAA Entelodon and Hyeanodon capture the look of those particular beasts from WWB, although I truly wish there was some representation of the Leptictidium, but I guess if there are any figures of the similar looking extant elephant shrew out there those may have to suffice.

It also makes me realize how few mammals I have in my collection (and from only the Pleistocene currently at that), but I've been planning to help address that with my next batch of figures from Safari Ltd at least (such as the Doedicurus, Daedon, and Hyaenodon, and Evolution of Man set), and hopefully the I-Toy Paraceratherium later this year.

Funnily enough I also just got done with giving a WWB a rewatch on curiosity stream after all this time, so I suppose it's certainly influenced me into wanting more of these sooner then later.

[WalkingWithBeasts]

The only problem with the AAA Hyaenodon is that it has black stripes as oppose to white stripes like the one in the show - which is sonething that the Mojo one does have although it has an inferior sculpt in my opinion.

By the way, if you like the Walking with shows then you might want to take a look at my YouTube channel where I have done my best to isolate the unreleased portions of the music - most recently from Walking with Beasts itself.

That's a pretty impressive lot...but (gauntlet thrown) you're going to need to chase down the Bullyland figures if you want to truly feel complete!

Of course, once you walk down that path it could drive you a little mad. They made some animals that still aren't done by anyone else. Like Megaloceros*! And Anchitherium! And Eusmilus!

I should mention I've been collecting for decades though...

*Colorata did just release one though...along with Palaeoparadoxia! https://www.colorata.com/fs/colorata/figurebox_ex2/

[Bokisaurus]

Great to see a collection of dominated by prehistoric mammals! We need more Great collection!

[WalkingWithBeasts]

Papo actually has recently released a Megaloceros and the 'early horse' as Bullyland call it is already in my collection. I think it's in the picture somewhere. Other than that one I've got the Diatryma, Chalicothere and Megatherium from Bullyland.

The only other ones I'd like to get are the Mammoth, Andrewsarchus, Woolly Rhino and Mastodon

[WalkingWithBeasts]

I'm thinking about buying that Colorata set from their website but is it safe or should I opt for something like eBay instead?

They don't ship outside of Japan (unless that changed?) but there are ways of course. @brettnj has sources that can get Japanese goods for you. Or eBay can work as well.

Not the gomphothere? Or ninravids?

And I forgot that there's also a Starlux Megaloceros. And plenty of other Starlux mammals too. Not always easy to find though.
