Here's my Salvat dinosaur collection. I know not everyone likes it, but I do. And since there are 42 figures in the collection I'm posting only one in here with all of them. For individual photos check out my Collectors Quest page.
Salvat Collection at Collectors Quest

I wonder if anyone else in the world has all of them?

[Bokisaurus]

Wonderful collection. I am impress with your Salvat collection, they may not be the most pretty of figures,  but they are unique and have a pretty interesting story They are certainly collectors items

I love that Dodo bird! I have been searching, but not had any luck finding one at a reasonable price

[Ikessauro]

I don't know anyone else that have the complete set, but I'm sure there must be someone somewhere. Anyways, they are getting harder and harder to find in good shape these days.

Boki, I found my Dodo at eBay Uk. I think that you should keep looking very often, the Dodo is a bit rare but not expensive. I've seen at least 3 of those sell for less than £10. I got mine as a BIN for only £2.99 + shipping, the total didn't go over $10!

   I haven't seen these before.  How long are those sauropods?  How about some group shots.  Also what are they made of, where do you get them and how much do they cost.

  I haven't seen these before.  How long are those sauropods?  How about some group shots.  Also what are they made of, where do you get them and how much do they cost.

These are made by a Brazilian sculptor, Ademar Pereira do Nascimento. He has done some dinosaur models a couple of years ago, but stopped production due to personal issues. Last year he decided that was time to come back to the dino stuff and started selling again. They are made of resin like a normal kit, but he sells them already assembled, painted or unpainted. They cost about 40 each, depending on size of the model. Most of these are Brazilian or South American species. Brazilian dinosaurs are usually overlooked by toy companies so he decided to give them a chance. Amazonsaurus is about 50 cm long, some are smaller, like Sacisaurus, the Smilodons, Velociraptor etc. Adamantisaurus is 47 cm long. Some of those are discontinued, namely Velociraptor, Smilodons, Giganotosaurus and some others I didn't buy back then. The newer models are not hollow, so they are a bit heavy. All bases seen on the photos come with the model.
Unfortunatelly Ademar doesn't sell worldwide, but I can help you get some or even all of them. Usually I buy them unpainted and resell or trade for other dino models/toys. The problem is they are very fragile, usually end up breaking during shipping. Of course, nothing that can't be fixed before painting. I traded about 6 of them with SBell a while ago, also Postsaurischian got a few and Martin Garrat has the Sacisaurus.
Here's a group photo. It's a bit dated, I took it before I had the Adamantisaurus and Amazonsaurus, but you can have an idea of how big Sacisaurus, Aucasaurus and Baurutitan are. My camera batery ran out a couple of minutes ago, so when it finishes charging I can post another pic with all of them.

That one came from France, I asked a collector who lives there to get it for me.

Here's my V.3 Battat T.rex - There's a sad story about it. I had contacted the seller on eBay when he listed a lot of dinos with a Battat rex in it, to find out if he would sell only the Battat for a reasonable price, as every collector does when the lot is too big and expensive to justify buying only for one item. The seller said that the Battat wasn't included in the lot, I guess he had found out it was valuable. A month later or so he listed the rex alone, good photos and all, and again, I was out of cash, so I didn't bother to look at the photos really well. To my surprise the seller contacted me by email offering the rex. I explained to him that I only would be able to pay for it at the end of the month, which is when I get my paycheck.
He offered to end the auction, despite a lot of watchers, to save me the dino for a combined price, over 100 bucks of course, since he figured out what he had. I agreed and at the time I didn't bother to check if it was in really good condition, I took the seller's word for it. Big mistake. I was so letdown when it arrived that it's been gathering dust on my cabinet since then. I didn't even took  a photo of it or commented on the recent acquisitions thread untill now. I contacted the seller who didn't even bother to offer a refund, just told me to re-sell it online. Since I didn't buy it through eBay I was a bit confused on what to do. I ended up with a broken dino and no refund.
The problem is that it is missing one finger, the lower finger of the right hand. If you look at the photo you'll not see the problem, because I fixed it with Photoshop. But here's a photo of its hand without photoshop treatment. I just hope that someday I'll be able to get another V.3 T.rex in good condition and perhaps if I do I can customize this one. Maybe I'll find someone to reesculpt the finger, change the pose a little and repaint it. But after all this, I learned my lesson to carefully look at the photos of what I'm buying, after all, when I checked the eBay auction again after receiving it I noticed the broken finger.
