Well, kids, I turned 65 last week and just opened my birthday present from my daughters who clubbed together to order these:
Papo Pachyrhinosaurus. The usual terrific integumental intricacies; the usual mild liberties, easily forgiven. Great figure.
Bullyland small Wooly Mammoth; long-sought by me. Delighted to get it finally.
Bullyland Elasmosaurus (duplicate); a personal favorite (it's the one that flanks the box at the bottom of the page).
Bullyland Arizonasaurus (duplicate); I really like the color scheme.
Bullyland Procynosuchus (duplicate; gettin' 'em while I still can. I think the popularity of this one caught Bullyland by surprise).
Wild Safari Coelacanth (larger and heftier than I had supposed it would be; a very satisfying addition with plenty of tactile gratification).
W.S. Liopleurodon (great little figurine; pairs well with its Collect-A counterpart).
W.S. Mosasaurus (lithe, sleek, monochromatic marine maurader).
W.S. Kentrosaurus (small, but a perfectly-sculpted gem; looks like it may pair up nicely with the ProCon, but I don't have that one yet, so I can't say for sure).
W.S. Rhamphorhynchus (instantly my new favorite pterosaur; eclipses all the others I own).
W.S. Postosuchus (one of my all-time favorites; a duplicate, but too nice an item not to have "seconds"of).
Safari prehistoric sealife "toob" (Wow! Those of you who have one know that the Nothosaurus bears away the prize, but I think the Henodotus and Frilled Shark give it a run for its money! There's not a bad apple in the barrel, and it's a generous barrel! And what a bargain at around a buck an item! True, the Icthyosaurus is wafer thin, impossibly thin, wallet-just-before-payday-thin, so much so that it has to be displayed side-on so as to avoid inviting incredulity from viewers, but -- even so -- it boasts great profile features and finnage). I strongly recomment this "toob" as a must-have for everyone. Buy three if your budget will stand it: One to put away unopened and keep pristine; one to open and reverently display on a small shelf to themselves; one to tear open and immediately portion out among your various prehistoric marine dioramae!
Yes, youngsters, this is what you have to look forward to when you're in the middle of your seventh decade: I still actively play with my toy dinosaurs, and, no, I don't get therapy for it -- it IS my therapy! Dinosaurs are great! Daughters are greater!

Dinosaurs are great! Daughters are greater! I totally appreciate your last statement. My daughter (7 years old) got a McDonalds Avatar toy (the red one that looks like a pterosaur) when she was out with her Mom shopping before Christmas and she gave it to me when she got home - totally her own choice and idea. My wife later told me that as soon as she saw the toy - she said "this is for daddy's pterosaur collection". I was very touched becuase she was so selfless and generous and although it is not a pterosaur it still has a special spot in my pterosaur-centric collection. |

And you still may have at least three decades left ;D |
