Libraraptor´s collection

[ceratopsian]

Thank you for reminding me of the Carnegie Camarasaurus. It was one of the first models I bought. I'm very fond of it but hadn't thought about it in a while!

[Libraraptor]

This is AAA Edmontonia from above.

[Halichoeres]

Definitely one of the nicer AAA models. They snuck some winners into their lineup.

[Shonisaurus]

The AAA edmontosaurus is a jewel of a model, it is one of the best in the company by far. Nice to have it in my collection.

[Libraraptor]

Agree, @Shonisaurus and @Halichoeres!
Here it is with Schleich Sauropelta:

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

The AAA Edmontonia is in so many dinosaur bundles and job lots on ebay that I sometimes forget it is a real figure that people want. It looks quite nice and charming actually, and I don't think I've seen it's face up close before.
I still wish that one company still had an Edmontonia in circulation as it seems every figure of the animal is retired.

Good light today!



Two Maiasaura, one by The Carnegie Safari, one by Panini. On the latter one it says "Maiasaurus"!


A random Coelurusaur with a "G" at its belly.


Larami, AAA and Invicta Tyrannosaurus

What a beautiful spring day you found - to take this lot for a photo shoot.
The Panini Maiasaura looks interesting - where does it come from ?
I know some 'Panini' from Spain - but this looks much bigger. is it hollow ?

[Shonisaurus]

Nice figures, I was moved seeing the Carnegie/Safari maiasaura was one of the first three I bought almost thirty two years ago along with his pteranodon and mosasaurus. Of the other figures, I honestly had no news or that they existed except for the Invicta tyrannosaurus, another cult figure for any collector.

Yes, it´s hollow, but sorry, I had confused two brands It´s by De Agostini, a publisher who published a dinosaur magazine line back in the early 90s.
They had many various half-serious figures out, including the Maiasaurus (sic!) and this Pelecanimimus about whom I wrote a review:

[Bokisaurus]

Very nice, wow, we really need a new Maiasaurus model! I can't believe how few there are.

[ceratopsian]

Strange isn't it how few Maiasaura there are!  I love that old Carnegie model and indeed have both the factory version and a repaint.  For me, Maiasaura is one of the most evocative of all dinosaurs - guess that's a produce of my age group, as it brings back so many memories of how our views of dinosaurs and their behaviour began to change and the excitement.  I actually have a Maiasaura on the way - but it's a small resin model by M-See Studio - currently with Martin Garratt for painting!

[Libraraptor]

Look how well those figures go together:
Sinclair and Lindberg Corythosaurus


Kleinwelka Anatosaurus and Sinclair Trachodon

[Gwangi]

Wow! I'm kind of blown away by that AAA Edmontonia.

[SidB]

The AAA Edmontonia is in so many dinosaur bundles and job lots on ebay that I sometimes forget it is a real figure that people want. It looks quite nice and charming actually, and I don't think I've seen it's face up close before.
I still wish that one company still had an Edmontonia in circulation as it seems every figure of the animal is retired.

Do you have the Battat one?

[Gwangi]

We desperately need an updated Edmontonia, the Battat is still the definitive representation of it. I have the Tyco one which is one of their best toys but quite large.

[Shonisaurus]

By the way, that Sinclair trachodon is very nice, I don't know if you can tell me I don't know if I'm inappropriate, but do you know how many versions there are of that figure, in plastic colors? It has caught my attention.

[Duna]

Those Sinclair are super cool. I love trachodon and corythosaurus. I just love any figure called "trachodon", that means they are very retro and over 40 years old.

[Libraraptor]

Thanks for your comments, everyone!

@Shonisaurus : For further research on the highly interesting background of those big Sinclair figures I recommend, once more, this page: http://dinosaurcollectorsitea.com/sinclair.htm

@Duna : Actually, they ARE that old I would define "retro" as something made more recently in a style referring to older days. But that´s just me smart-arsing around 

@Gwangi : Have you never seen this figure before? Found one in this (expensive ) lot: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393810149177?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item5bb0e9ff39:g:vgAAAOSwUYphwPkT&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAACoPYe5NmHp%252B2JMhMi7yxGiTJkPrKr5t53CooMSQt2orsSU8qUIAeVPdz29zRlje3Lg8X%252FZqu1OpiC4Fw3jwa%252FARmNonguZCCsikfQ2fF9eU4OTN0CS1pa7WIWguabaXUJ%252FOqp0virynGXlgwWQnSmzPh1LiWgEaioIPXVyz3wPGpXFLK%252Br6OFEnhYhhfjkVHyRnajkPnkkZ2E5UWf9f8YA3KxA0E9Gc3D%252FyJtA51OJklxUMS%252FUSOTX8Lm%252BkN%252BZbmGd%252B%252B9tVwulbj6Wihjd7uOI1iZiULCchl7U9iyGpipBwBsUKPPKQTjG6fY5r9URk2B7auVTv102F5ZmirJ21qZCNW%252B5hVKFig3fTbf6fyPPQl6Ej3jOjX0jKp2YgP3AjvPlODn3YwFH6thXr2SF3Wtf5RPJ%252BCw4G8qN4wx2nzOSFYRbbUUeWOHl1daqSkDZOmKDEDkQr%252Fx5U0%252FnSP945tWeQ6%252BPhx1btH9aPtjJGcr%252FQQlVHmO3okXbXSWX6Ka5Gf4FrJi1oe263yMvKzhMnwD3CaitHI%252F3yn96sj6b1mQltoCfK3Zsu9pEg5AatR4WiKGj%252Bu7ML537YVRicmZ3Mnw7IKjYJcW8rGaB9c2HOkkC1Xk7rmmE0WqXrRABFgdSSwY3WtHtkp%252BYlY1X2D0Yz%252BmjbSKTf%252BLc4M508rlTVMeUTHJ%252FEajbfgcdCsE2O5vEW1EIYsTOVnltp5fEAwTMoFfF1lceoDiBH7P7rRBpGKASikhhJATWIN27hE%252Be%252BnUvPUG%252ByRgx4CfbQJhbPo2ESQv6hZGO91RQF6AKpakr3HtBX2TP6tuF%252Bhv0ixDH%252FF8nv%252BLY2Qf%252BBGPDK2oJpEn4bh%252FH3UN6pNPAVTQApOa204DIbPdd5edQ4UoGnF8ujNFNXaUzw%253D%253D%7Cclp%3A2334524%7Ctkp%3ABFBM9KrnyOFf

[Gwangi]

I've seen it before @Libraraptor, but never photographed in a way where I could really appreciate it.
