Griffin's collection- update

[Griffin]

Took some photos of my dinosaur stuff. Sorry the room isn't bulging at the seams like some of the other collections on here. Like I said I get what I like not looking to own every bit of dino merchandise ever made.

James Gurney dinosaur stamps. Papo Allo and some Warhammer Lizardmen I painted. Below that is my fossil collection which can be seen on the "other toys and collectibles" section of the forum. Above are some shed skins from snakes I work with, a black rat snake on top and a Columbian Boa below.




I love my pewter Triceratops. I got it as a gift from my grandparents when I was four years old.







Oh finally here's some figures!





I lucked out. My Carnegie Rex does not have those weird googly eyes.






Another childhood friend. Used to have a def dinosaurs green ceratosaurus as well but I have absolutely no idea what happened to him. Ticks me off.


I have a good number of Jurassic park dinosaurs as well but didn't have the time to photograph them too. I'll put them up next time.

You have a wonderful collection

[Horridus]

Hey, I've got that 'World of Dinosaurs' stamp set too! It's in a drawer somewhere, I should put it on display like you have when I go back home.

A nice collection, I think that pewter Triceratops has real charm.

Not all of us who have bulging at the seams collections desire every piece of dino related plastic ever, you know...

[Griffin]

Lots do and some are very close to it. In your case I think its more specific. Every piece of spinosaur or prehistoric amphibian plastic, correct me if I'm wrong. Nothing wrong with it. I just am saying that its not what I do.

Thanks horridus. I love my pewter trike.

Nice collection. No need to apologize for any collection. The how do you collect thread was interesting. I think much of the fun in collecting is picking out what you like out of all the figures that are available, and then simply enjoying those figures.

[Griffin]

Thanks Icthy0saur!

Nope, I've passed on most spinosaurs I've come across, and I have virtually no amphibians (2 of them)

That pewter triceratops is AWESOME though.

very nice! I would love to see more close ups of your fossil collection, too!

You're in luck, he started a thread dedicated to them: dinotoyforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=othertoys&action=display&thread=2279

You've seen them before. Remember now?

[Griffin]

Yup same collection. I just keep them on that shelf now instead of all stacked on top of each other like I showed in the last photo on the other thread labeled "my little set up"

Very nice collection.

Sculpted by David Krentz, painted by me.

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

Expensive little guys!

David Krentz should be hired by a toy company to help sculpt dinosaur toys!

[Griffin]

Yeah they are a bit pricey. I got the trike and styrac for my birthday. He was really delayed in shipping them so he sent the achelou along with them for free which was really nice of him. The rex and cory I got for Christmas. If its that kind of occasion its fine. I usually don't ask for anything for christmas so my family has a rough time figuring out what to get me. Other than these and some books I really didn't get much else.

They are really nice though. I have nothing bad to say about them at all. Well worth what was paid for them in my opinion. I hope David Krentz comes out with more in the future. A pachycephalosaurus I would snap up in a second.

[Libraraptor]

Krentz figures are outstanding. I´m happy to have his Gryposaurus.

[Griffin]

Marginocephale!

Where's the papo pachyrhinosaurus?! Neat group. No wild safari pachy?

Did you buy all of those procons in stores in new jersey? If so I need to know the names of those stores
