Nice herd of pachycephalosaurs! That Waiphoon is such an interesting figure.

Thanks for the comments!  Here we see two Schleich sauropods.  15 years lay between the Saltasaurus from 2005 and their recent Agustinia.

Shonisaurus

Nice additions the saltasaurus of the year 2006 was an epic figure by Schleich is a shame that it is discontinued. On the other hand, the agustinia of Schleich is also a quite remarkable figure and honestly the best toy agustinia on the market.

I like the sculpt,  but the colours turn me off.  The head looks like it is smiling at me,  which is a downer,  too.

For some reason, Agustinia's head always looks goofy in toy form. That Schleich Saltasaurus also dropped the ball a bit in that regard, but it's still an awesome figure.

Well, maybe the smile is an enigmatic puzzle/ invitation - consider the Mona Lisa.

Two interesting Spinosaurus

Shonisaurus

I congratulate you on those two spinosaurus, that of Schleich and that of the large-sized version of Safari (great dinos), the last figure in that collection the pteranodon (for the moment) I bought it from Dejankins.

It's true! Every toy has a derpy head. This one is worse than I expected but still maybe not as bad as the CollectA.

PNSO Nyctosaurus and Linde Rhamphorhynchus.


Shonisaurus

Nice pair of figures. Two pretty good pterosaur miniatures.

What?  Do I really have only four Therizinosaurus?!

Loon

Nice collection of Therizinosaurus. Still a species that I think has yet to have a definitive version. Still, all of those are really interesting versions. I particularly like the one in the right, it reminds me of Luis Rey's reconstruction.

Shonisaurus

The said curious collection of therizinosaurus from Libraraptor, we would need a more scientific therizinosaurus, just as the definitive therizinosaurus can come thanks to the Safari or Eofauna brand? Time will tell.

Halichoeres

I have a soft spot for that Bullyland one; I considered it for my own collection.

avatar_Loon @Loon: it is by Chap Mei and yes,  it has this audacious Luis V. Rey style. And avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres : although in no way scientifically correct,  it is a nice figure on its own.
avatar_Shonisaurus @Shonisaurus : Yes, I am still waiting for a both correct and nice to look at figure, too.

PrimevalRaptor

Some nice Therizinosaurus over there! I gotta agree, the Bullyland one certainly has it's flaws but there's some real charme to it that had me pick it up once I saw it in a store here on sale, it certainly is the best Therizinosaurus made in Germany (though the bar iiiis kinda low there  :)))
And the Luis V. Rey inspiration on the Chap Mei one was what made me pick that one up when I was a kid. And speaking of those times, you can't imagine how excited I was when I got my hands on the Carnegie one, especially after watching Chased by Dinosaurs. :D
Personally, while not perfect, I do feel that the Great Dinosaurs one from Safari is fairly close to a definitive one for me, even if it probably still has some issues of it's own.

Yeah, what's up with that?😂
Nice herd, it's amazing how many figure of it exist now.
You should at least get the Papo and small CollectA' .😃

Hah, you better forget about THAT one..... well, nah, I know you like to collect the weird ones, but honestly, my son bought it with his own money some months ago and when he proudly presented it to me I had to swallow two times before making up a positive reply :D

I very much like the Bullyland one, it`s so charming.
