There are more than a 100 species in this "book figure" series. I don't know the original title of it. Any idea where to get some of the other figures? I have to correct myself: The book figure series is called "NATURAL MONUMENTS OF JAPAN" and it features 50 different species.

What are those things in the shoulder? Parasites?

;D I don't know, I was asking this myself - seems to be some kind of additional armour - sculptor's fantasy probably I have to say: I expected this question a bit earlier from you - the experts ;D.

The top one almost looks like a Kentrosaur sholder spike.

The top one almost looks like a Kentrosaur sholder spike. Maybe that's what they're meant to be, but the colour is a bit odd, it's on his tail spikes as well. It looks like the plates should be the same colour.

Hey... My order of the Kinto favorite has just come in. And I noticed it is not like yours. They look similar but my sauropods are not as large as your by far. I mean my apato is smaller than my trex and my Brachio's base of his neck is not taller than the Trex, and head only towers over by a half an inch. Something is a bit off. As well as your Styracosaurus and pterasaur is different. But I am most disappointed by the size of my Sauropods. Whats up with that? Check the site you told me about to check for yourself. Dinosaurtime.co.uk. Check the size the measure the sauropods at and you will see they do not measure to your figures size. KINTO Favorite Collection on my CD shelf (with some intruders Aerial view: The Kinto Thyreophora are among the best Every collection should have at least 2 species of Ornithopoda, so I had to add the Battat Ouranosaurus. Kinto's Styracosaurus is much too big - it had to be replaced by this lovely intruder: BEAUTIFUL Para! Mighty Apato! The Theropods Brachiosaurus!!! Kinto's Deinonychus is also way too big - it is replaced by Kaiyodo's female JPIII Velociraptor I don't like Kinto's Pteranodon, replaced here by Procon/Collecta's. It's the cheapest Pterosaur on the market, but to me one of the best That's it, I hope photobucket works

They are the 'Desktop' resin versions, so they're bigger. Check out the Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus Desktop models on Dino Time, those are the ones he has. He's obviously a stickler for scale so he's united all the 1:50 scale Favorites from various lines, and the 1:20 scale Deinonychus is missing. I reviewed the 'Soft Model' sauropods for the blog and they're 1:80 scale. Here are mine and some other 'Soft Models' for scale:

That is an awesome Kinto collection. But why is it when i type them in for google to find them to buy, I can't. where can I get them at? Do they stop making them? When I type in Kinto, I get these really expensive models that are on stands. I love that Brachio also how he is just right in size comparison to say the Trex and all others. He looks massive. I bought them at 'urzeitshop.de' and 'dinosaurtime.co.uk'. These two together should still have them all. The 2 Sauropods are Desktop models, the others are the so-called "Soft models". But they aren't that soft . Sellers outside of Japan don't use the name Kinto - Heaven knows why I'm really sorry for this, rakumi . About the sauropods: Horridus said it all (yeah, kind of a stickler for scale but not unconditionally). Maybe I should have pointed this out more clearly - I thought I did. Styracosaurus & Pteranodon are two of the intruders that were described above each photo - maybe you were so enthusiastic about the figures that you overlooked this. Sorry again - I will try to write more clearly in the future in order to avoid further misunderstandings.

By the way, I really like how the Desktop brachiosaur looks, and DinoTime now has it back in stock! May have to buy...against my better judgement.

lol, I am pretty big on scale also... so now I dont know what to do with this set. I put it on display but do not want it anymore. lol. Does the desktop models come with stands normally? Because I keep looking to see no stands.

Because I keep looking to see no stands. They do come with stands, but the models aren't attached. Hey, why not keep the smaller soft model sauropods? You could always display them alongside Kaiyodos and the like (if you have any...I must admit I've only got one!). Otherwise, to eBay...

I like unpainted Dinosaur figures . Maybe it's because the sculpt sometimes better comes to light then. The 2 Thyreophora "Paint the Dinosaur" models by Favorite Collection: Stegosaurus & Ankylosaurus .....

Woah...haven't seen THAT colour scheme for the Favorite T. rex before. I really like it! Looks like it's been walking through some mud too which is a nice touch (even if it's unintentional).

Yeah - mud is what I also thought! I like Black on rexes ... with black eyes There's also a new paint job on their Triceratops, but it looks like military style www.f-favorite.net/SHOP/70650.html
