DinoLord's Humble Collection

[DinoLord]

Ever since I was a toddler, I had a large amount of dinosaurs. However, most of my toys from back then were Chinasaurs that are now in storage. I got a few decent dinosaurs as a kid, like some Jurassic Park III toys and a few Safari toys. However, I stopped playing with them as I got older. Throughout the years, I got a few Safari and Famemaster toys, along with several others. I also started getting the Papo figures. I only started serious collecting since last year, when I discovered the Dinosaur Toy Blog. That is one of the reasons I don't have too many dinosaurs on display here. The other is that my standards for figures are very high. I only get stuff I really like. If a figure is okay, but not great, I usually don't get it. But even this can't help me from making a few impulse buys!

Without further ado, here is my collection! Sorry for the blurry photos.

The two shelves above my desk:


Kinto Desktop Spinosaurus:


The theropods:


The ornithischians:

Hey dinolord, that's a cool collection! I have one question: Who is the manufacturer of the Brachiosaurus skeleton on the right and where can I get the Oviraptor/Citipati skull?

[DinoLord]

Oops! That was an old picture! Fixed.

I don't know the manufacturer of the Brachiosaurus skeleton. It came with a children's book on Brachiosaurus that I got as a kid. However, I've seen the same skeleton in my science textbook, so I think its been around for quite a while. It's a snap together kit.

I also don't know where you could get the Oviraptor skull. I got my dad to order it online for me when I was a kid. It's probably made from plastic, as it is slightly bendable, but is pretty detailed. It was pretty cheap. I remember it being around $20. If I remember correctly, I got it from a store selling on Amazon.com, but I can't seem to find it again.

Great collection! Keep on at that Camarasaurus, it's looking good so far. (Don't forget to get the feet right )

[DinoLord]

Don't worry, they only have the thumb claw AND are horseshoe shaped.

[brontodocus]

I was just wondering about the Brachiosaurus skeleton because it reminds me of the giant COG Dino Horizons Brachiosaurus skeleton (26.5" or 670 mm high):
Only yours seems to have more detail.

What is that big RED t-rex? Looks familiar but cannot identify...

[DinoLord]

It's the Great Dinos T. rex. I got mine as a kid, so it has the older paint job. The newer ones have a brown and tan paint job.

Wonderful collection.

What is that chasmosaurus looking guy leading the way in your ornithiscian display?

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

That's the famemaster chasmo.

[dolichorhynchops12]

What's the T-Rex skeleton plaque? I had one exactly like it as a kid but can't remember any details about it. Nice collection you've got.

[DinoLord]

That was also from my childhood years. I think I got it at Marshall's.

@cordy: That's actually the FameMaster Pentaceratops.

[Griffin]

Aw that brachiosaurus skeleton. Thats the one that came unassembled (by that i mean in like 6 or something big pieces) in a big plastic egg with a little booklet??? Love those guys. I have the Rex, steg and velociraptor myself. I wish i had more though. I know there is also a Triceratops and a Protoceratops one as well. Anybody know if any others exist?

[DinoLord]

I just got a Battat Triceratops and Stegosaurus, along with two Carnegie Collection Original Allosauruses and a original Carnegie Collection Stegosaurus. I am still debating whether to display the Carnegie Collection Stegosaurus. The Battats have a bit of sand in the wrinkles so it looks like I have some cleaning up to do.

[Horridus]

Original Carnegie Allo! It makes me weep tears of pure nostalgia. Yes. But that I had one these days!

[DinoLord]

I have another one, but it is badly damaged.

[foxilized]

Battat stego has the spines NOT at the end of the tail... how weird is that?

Great new aquisitions, Dinolord.
