Frank08’s Favorite Dinosaur Figures

[frank08]

Hello friends and fellow forum people! I saw Halichoeres do a thread for his favorite figures of each species so I thought that I would do the same! Note: I am not copying Halichoeres! My favorite figures are different from his. I just want to make my opinion known too. I am making my own choices based off my experience with my own figures. I was wondering where to start when I realized that I can do my figures in chronological order! I will start from the Early Triassic era. The Cretaceous is heavily represented on my collection so I'm sure that will play a large part of my list. My opinions can differ from yours. I am not telling anyone to get anything. I'm just making a list and maybe checking it twice! Now let's dive in!

Also sometimes I will have two favorite figures but that's because I like some figures so much that I can't pick one.

Out of curiosity, what are you using as a Euchambersia?

[frank08]

Don't worry, I'll post pictures soon enough. I should take them right now! If you have any more Triassic animals to recommend to me just tell me.

Nice! I guess those must have been melanistic leopards, but they work as some kind of therapsid.

The Triassic is the coolest period of the Mesozoic.

[frank08]

I certainly agree. You don't see the wacky variants of reptiles that were never made as toys in the other periods. I wish that they made more figures so I didn't have to substitute for a Euchambersia. Any other Triassic animals that I missed? I truly wish I didn't have to substitute creatures that don't have any figures. If I missed any Triassic creatures, just let me know and I'll update it. Good news in my collection! On Friday, I will be getting the Safari Guanlong, Toyway Torosaurus, Toyway Utahraptor, Toyway Iguanodon, and Toyway Postosuchus! On Saturday, I will be getting the Papo Gorgosaurus (I found it while looking for a Nanuqsaurus on EBay and said "it has free shipping, why resist?".

The Euchambersia of that unknown brand look like black panthers, it is a curious figure. My congratulations on your figures. By the way, I have a bluish nothosaurus from Safari, where did you find that reddish nothosaurus from Safari? It is an interesting figure.
