AAA has already done an entelodont. Kaiyodo has done a Diictodon. JP has done a Gorgops. Safari is doing a basilosaurus this year. ;D I'll look up the Entelodont. JP Gorgon is too cartoon-ish. Safari's Basilosaurus is in a TOOB and would be about 1 inch long, so no. EDIT: I'll pass on the Entelodont for now. Where the heck can I find Kaiyodos? I hear they have good Paleozoics, but I can't find them ANYWHERE!!! You really think the JP gorgon is cartoonish? Its actually a very well made figure and is one of JP's more realistic creatures with regards to detail and accuracy. I did a review of it a while back I suggest you take a look. dinosaurcollector.wordpress.com/?s=lycaenops

Yes, you can get them there. But if you are in the USA, you will pay a substantial amount for shipping. It would be better to order a few more items so that you will get a little more for your shipping charges.

The toob basilo won't be only one inch. It'll probably be at least three. Which is the size of many kaiyodos!
As for not being to find kaiyodos anywhere- Have you heard of this new place called "ebay"? ;D
I want more marine reptiles. GOOD marine reptiles. I still think there needs to be a few more good ones. A marine crocodile, a large correctly shaped plesiosaur, and maybe a polycotylid.

There will be a marine crocodile included in the set of miniature models of marine reptiles from Safari Ltd.:Metriorhynchus.At 3'' long,that will make it about 1/40th scale.

It'll pair up with the Playvision one nicely.

It certainly doesn't blend in amongst safaris and carnegies. But its not cartoony.

I sort them by scale. If the 3' Basilo is at a 1:50, 1:40, 1:20, 1:10, or 1:5th scale, tell me, and explain how that's possible.

The JP toys are some of the most collectible dino toys around, but I can see how you have a distaste of the gorgonops. It is kind of smooth and shwarzenneger-ish. The JPD1 gorgon, though, actually looks a lot like the one from walking with monsters.

Some JP toys are more, er, toylike than others. The original 'Red Rex' and the Thrasher are a lot more aesthetically pleasing than the 'Bull Rex', for example, which is more obviously distorted to incorporate play features. Although I would still like a Bull Rex (or the JP2K9 form...but not for £50 please).
