My most prominently shown collection is obviously my Jurassic park. These pictures were taken circa early 2006-07, there was a flood in my basement, and all the ground level toys are...scattered. This was in the old house. We moved, I moved...It sucked because it was a heaven for my dinosaurs... My zoids are mostly dinosaur type, or reptiles, or birds: They can pass as dinosaurs here, so ;D This pic...simply...blows. I'm gonna update it when I bring the box home. My house had low light levels in the basement...and my camera simply sucked. Those are my Carnegie, Safari, and Schelich dinosaurs. Except that back then, I only had one Scheich. Now these, coming out of a bath: These are my plastic, brandless dinosaurs, but some of these came with Planeta DeAgostini's magazine truncated issues from "The Big Book of Dinosaurs", and it was one weekly. 52 were issued, and I only got about 25 of them. This was in South America. I believe they were the first to make an Abelisaurus, and those dinosaurs are based off of Graham Rosenware's art in TBBoD. Some of them, at least, like the exquisite Muttaburrasaurus they made. It's one of the best depictions in plastic of this dinosaur, and no one has one

It's from Dinosaur (2000) by Disney. It's huge, it's electronic, I found it at a goodwill store, waiting for me. Greatest find ever.

Is that the one with loads of joints and feet that fall of*
*May not be literally true, but I think it is.

Nope, that Carnotaurus is very durable, comparable to anything from JP, and only has the arm joints, hip joints and lower jaw articulated. Nothing has fallen off. Unless he's talkin' about another dinosaur...
It's just as big as the Red T.Rex or the Thrasher T.Rex.

Nice collection! I wonder why you hate Papo so much. Most of the Hasbro/Kenner toys are even less accurate

Thanks!
However, may I remind you... JP's Pteranodons have no teeth. Stegosaurus have big plates. Raptors have stiff tails. 'nuff said, or should I keep going?
Of course, some JP Dinosaurs look like crap. But most of the ones Papo has done, Kenner/Hasbro did better (Before JP3 at least...), and were simply...more fun. Poseable and stuff.

Yes, it is, but then again, so is the carnegie one. I meant that for the mainstream dinos. T.Rex, Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, and they even planned to do the best Triceratops even for TLW 'till it got cancelled for unknown reasons.

It's a Jurassic Park Triceratops from Universal Orlando. It is really cool. Many JP fans have it.

In the box The Jurassic Showdown! Late Triassic and Early Jurassic Pelycosaurs and Tanystropheus Sea and air reptiles When I said I had 700 dinosaurs, I sure as heck wasn't lying. Eventually, when I buy a good camera, I'm going to take pics of each single one.

Is the red and yellow ichthyosaur the one that comes with the DinoValley2 Elasmosaurus? It looks really nice. But the DV2 Elasmosaurus is quite terrible

Yup, it's that Ichtyosaur. Comes with a sea skiff thingy, and with tuna. Or salmon.. Or melt their snout and turn them into Xipactinus.
The Elasmosaurus is ridiculously huge. He's the biggest fish I have in my non dinosaurian collection. He's ridiculous. I also heard that the euro version or whatever has electronics, just like the Brachiosaur.
