The Dimetrodon is very underrated if you ask me. The Dakin Raptor must be rare, I think I'd never looked at it I agree, the dimetrodon is very underrated. The JP figure goes well with the Tyco dimetrodon, don't you think? The Dakin raptors, I don't know much about them to be honest. I see them once in a while on ebay, as I said I debated for a while about getting the figures. But our good old friend Joe D had them up not too long ago. I am happy with the figures, they look very retro and look better in person, IMO. I will let you know if I see a cheap one up again. ;D

I like the Dakins too, very retro/simplified look to them.

Man I used to be so into collecting JP Toys. I still have my collection kicking around my parents' house somewhere. In response to you bokisaurus, the parasaur and green spino you have there are from The Lost World Series 1, the dimetrodon is from Jurassic Park Series 1, and the purple spino (it was marketed as the "Aqua Spinosaurus") is from the second wave of Jurassic Park III figures. The rex is from JPIII (even says it on its thigh there) as well and came with a human figure. In my opinion, the JPIII toys took a SHARP nosedive in quality from the previous two movies. Kenner really had it down well, and I just hated how Hasbro had to come in and take over and screw it all up. None of the JPIII figs (except for the Alpha Pteranodon, animatronic Spinosaurus, and Ultra T.Rex) were in scale, meaning that the raptor, t.rex, and brachiosaurus figs were all the same size, they were all hard plastic, and what I hated most of all was that you couldn't repair their "dino damage". They didn't even come close to all the awesome species Kenner had released (tanystropheus, lycaenops, carnotaurus, come on Hasbro!), except for those few times they re-released the Kenner figs.
Ok end rant, but Hasbro destroyed Jurassic Park action figs.

So amy JP series Thanks for the info ;D There are so many Jp figures out that it's hard to track them, one of the reason I really am very selective in my JP acquisition and never got into collecting them as a whole. ;D

Here she is up close- Believe me now? Thanks for the pics, I did check out the list of Dakin JP figures and the Brachio is the only one I don't have. Unless Tyrannax decides to make a "charitable donation" to the Bokisaurus collection, I don't think I am going to seek out this figure, too many priority figures still at large ;D So what do you say Tyrannax you are not a big fan of sauropods and I am!
