My godson is six years old and wanted me to show you his collection.  So here we go! As you see, I managed to infect him.


Crackington

What a great collection he has there avatar_Libraraptor @Libraraptor!   I suspect he may have had some help collecting them, the eclectic style reminds me of someone 😉

Halichoeres

Please congratulate your godson on a very advanced case of prehistoricosis! I see his dinosaurs have a sweet tooth.

My godson is very proud of experts answering to his collection. As for myself, I am rediscovering the charme of vintage,  monochrome figures for the 100th or so time:

avatar_Libraraptor @Libraraptor What a beautiful collection sincerely as I have already commented in other threads and I know that it will not be the last time, the monochrome figures of retro vintage dinosaurs have a charm that matches in interest to the current well finished figures and I would even add that they have more charm since having taking into account the context of the time they were made and especially the material that I think was in many cases more resistant than plastics and PVC today and especially their "retro" finish make them even much more interesting and have a lot of merit . My congratulations for your photography and for the iguanodon figures. They are attractive and masterful.

Halichoeres

They look to be made of chocolate, white chocolate, and nougat respectively :)

The vintage lines really gave a lot of attention to ornithopods compared to today, didn't they?

They did. Nowadays ornithopods often do not seem to be attractive enough.  Bummer!

Probably has to do with the fact that back then, there were less popular Theropds.  I mean, usually there was Tyrannosaurus and smaller, three-fingered Tyrannosaurus aka Allosaurus. Was actually talked about in this topic:

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Halichoeres

Yes, I remember! Part of the pattern that's being reiterated here.

Three Entelodonts

Halichoeres

The EoFauna figures are beauties.

And that herd of entelodonts, terrifying.

Nice, but I thought you were more 'Vintage oriented' ...

These three little piggies found the big bad wolf rather tasty.

Love the entelodonts. That's my favorite of the Dino Rider line.

I am "cool figure " - oriented ;)
Quirky figures,  homeless figures,  but why deny high class figures?
Yeah, most vintage figures ARE cool, but not all cool figures are vintage  ^-^

I love the three entelodonts and the "biodiversity" of your collection.

"Biodiversity" - like this term connected to my collection 8)

And avatar_BlueKrono @BlueKrono - sorry for just understanding that piggy and wolf joke, now I get it, I like it. :)) :))
