Horridus Collection « Thread Started on Mar 28, 2010, 7:48pm »
OK, I know I've created a thread before, but that was firstly dedicated to my dino-tower, and secondly quite some time ago. I also wanted to show some stuff in here other than figures. Bit of a photo-dump this time, but more to follow! (Oh come on, you care really. Please....?) First up: all my Favorite gear. Plus some mountain thingy I bought on eBay, which is now home to all my Favorite soft models. A few odd JPs that wouldn't fit on my shelves. Plus, Bowser enjoys his new ruff. "Oh shi....." This hologram transitions from a Tyrannosaurus skull to a fleshed-out creature. The Invicta poster. You've probably seen this before, so I'll only include a couple of close-ups. The T. rex is pretty funky-looking. All my Tyrannosaurus figures. I don't have as many as some people, but there's another coming next week! I'm getting there! More soon if anyone gives a flying....thing. I have some stamps, cards, books etc. to show off yet!
God Creates Dinosaurs. God Destroys Dinosaurs. God Creates Man. Man Destroys God. Man Creates Dinosaur Collectibles. Dinosaur Collectibles Destroy Man's Bank Account.
Love the hologram poster, it's awesome; where did you find it?
In a fossils/gems/holograms shop in Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. I also have a skull one from there (from a few years previously) that gains eyeballs when viewed from a certain angle!

*drools* Great collection! Let's see, I want that one, and that one, and... Wonder why models always look so much more tempting on other people's shelves?

Thank you Sumo! Here's my dino-tower again - everything's on here that isn't a Favorite. Or one of the above JP. Or that big old Triceratops. Apart from that...yeah. There have been a few recent additions. It's leaning precariously...stupid cheap media towers.

You know, I have that spitting green dilophosaurus around here somewhere, but I haven't seen it in over a year. I miss it. It makes a nice dilophosaurus.
And I'm not willing to buy another one on ebay for $10 because I know the second I do it will magically reappear.

You mean the 'water pistol' one? It is quite nice. Has a forked tongue for some reason...

The one in the movie had a forked tongue. Another way to differentiate it from the velociraptors!

I used to have an Invicta jigsaw. It was aimed at kids so was pretty simple, but featured some striking artwork (different to the above poster). It's a shame I no longer have it.... One more pic of some figs, will get some different stuff up soon (tomorrow hopefully). Papo and WS Allosaurus. (The JP Dimetrodon in the background gives the Papo Allo an adorable little sail!) Such an amazing photogenic figure!

Nice collection. Didn't the mountain come with dinosaurs? Also isn't the tower kind of crowded particularly at the top? I can image figures falling everytime you close the door.

Yeah, is that tower any safe? Besides I like your collection very much, the tower makes a pretty awesome display. I like how you have orderer the figures too.

The mountain didn't come with any dinosaurs, although I imagine that there is a collection for it. Also, the tower's surprisingly stable! To make anything fall off you have to grab it and give it a good ol' shake!
