Libraraptor´s collection

[Shonisaurus]

Nice photographs sincerely in my case I had a less numerous collection 30 years ago than the one you show in your photographs. It still seems incredible that we are in 2021 with all this series of prehistoric scientific and film animals so varied. If they tell me or rather, I visualize what was going to happen 30 years ago, I would not sincerely believe it, although honestly, who would know that I was nineteen years old! the best of life, divine youth treasure.

[Duna]

My humble beginnings as a collector.  30 or so years ago.

I'm green with envy ... I wish I had such a lovely collection! But I was happy to, those were the days.

[Lanthanotus]

Oh my, that cabinet, I remember that kind too well .

Nice collection, especially considering the age and your location... where did you get all these from? Realtives from
the isle or tourist visits there?

Neither the first nor the latter. In Grömitz at the Baltic Sea there was a Bookshop where all the figures were available. I was allowed to buy only one or two figures per holiday. Each holiday I held my breath hoping they´d still be there. Can you imagine, waiting one year for a new addition?!

[Lanthanotus]

I hope it was a nice place to go for you besides those models, taking in account how often you`d been there

[Sarapaurolophus]

Loving the retros as well as the retro snapshots!

[Halichoeres]

I love the blast from the past!

[Subduction]

My smallest dinosaurs. Safari minis and other stuff.



Adopted this fellow out of pure sympathy  and pity. Some ruthless person grinded parts of the beak and horn away. With the other figures around,  this Triceratops will feel safe from now on!

That Triceratops is a trooper! But even troopers need to have a feeling of security. I'm sure his new herd will treat him well.

It only took me like a month to finally comment in your collection. It's so nice! How long have you been collecting figures? And more importantly, how many do you think you have?

[Libraraptor]

Thank you, S @Subduction ! I started collecting over 35 years ago,  but keep in mind I had a long dark age.  Hence the bulk of my collection has been bulding up since 13 or so years. My dark period ended when I decided to complete my Invicta collection with looking for their blue whale.  And guess where I was helped? 
When asked,  I used to say I have 1000 figures,  but honestly,  I   never counted them.

Some random stuff:


Big Dimetrodon which I know nothing about adorning my bookshelf.


Wind-up ornithischians I don´t know anything about either:


Marbled brown Marx/Superior figures:

[Stegotyranno420]

Awesome. I love those Marx figures, they look so comical and vintage. Nice

[Halichoeres]

That Dimetrodon is really interesting! It looks like the style of Clover/ Sun & Brownie, but to my knowledge they never made a Dimetrodon. A little bit of a Thunder-Beasts vibe too.

[CityRaptor]

Maybe it is the Thunder Beasts one. I know that at least the Euoplocephalus does not match the colors of the figure shown on the picture.

You know, I think you're right. If so it will probably have a little "M T" stamped on the belly somewhere.

[Libraraptor]

Edaphosaurus and Komododragon. Approx. same scale.

Wind-up ornithischians I don´t know anything about either:

I have three of them, the two you have and one more. They are from 1993, by New Ray Toys (or at least that's what I found about them). There are at least two more I don't have: a tyrannosaurus and a brachiosaurus. Take good care of them!

[Crackington]

Hi @Duna, is the other one a stegosaurus?

I got one many moons ago, just about works now. Will dig it out and take a snap, but wondering if we should start a new thread on wind-up dinos for members to post pictures? Conscious that this is @Libraraptor aptor (excellent) collection thread.

Yes, if you can call it "stegosaurus"  . It's green with a light green sail with many spikes. And a HORN on the head.

Big Dimetrodon which I know nothing about adorning my bookshelf.

This is a thunder beasts dimetrodon and I have been desparately seeking one for the past 8 years. Would you be willing to sell or trade this to me?
