A couple of days ago (last Saturday I think) I walked into this toy store hoping for some decent Transformers. Not only picked up five Transformers, but I found this little box up the back of the store with these awesomely cool dinosaur toys. Had already paid for the Transformers, so I only got the two species I didn't have represented on my shelves: Brachylophosaurus and Ornitholestes. They resemble the Maiasaura and Procompsognathus from the JP books.

OK, except for the new Schleich Giga which comes out in September, I think I've pretty much finished up my 2010 dino haul.
Here's what I ended up with...
WS: Kentrosaurus Liopleurodon Mosasaurus Rhamphorhynchus Apatosaurus Brachiosaurus Prehistoric Sea Life Tube
Papo: Pachyrhinosaurus Oviraptor Velociraptor (new paint) Plesiosaurus
Bullyland: Giganotosaurus Iguanodon Pachycephalosaurus (new paint) Ankylosaurus (2009) Batrachotomus
Carnegie: Ichthyosaurus Cryolophosaurus
Procon/CollectA: Jobaria Kentrosaurus Afrovenator Minmi Lufengosaurus Herrerasaurus Rugops Majungatholus
I must say, at least of the ones I got, the new Procon/CollectA figures are much better looking in person than in any pictures, catalog or our own pics. I did end up adding the missing darker red color layer to the face of the Afrovenator and darkened a bit the jagged spiny row along atop it's back. And just for fun, I continued with the reddish color accents on the row of little round scutes along the top part of both it's sides.
I also really like the new Carnegies a lot! Question though, did anyone else have problems with a sloppy yellow paint squiggly line across both sides of the Ichthy? I think I was able to clean mine up pretty good with just a fine point sharpie. I can't really see where the marker ink is. It blended in pretty well. After I'd put on a coupe light strokes with the darkest blue sharpie, I'd quickly soften them with my finger tip before they dried. I also need to add a little lighter color to a tentacle or two of the Ammonite, especially the longer one that's extended onto the snout of the Ichthy. It's covered by the Ichthy's dark paint color. I've read that other people have had that problem too.
Anyway, all-in-all I'm pretty pleased. And now that I've finally gotten the 2010's, I will take some much-needed new pics of my current collection and post them soon. ;D

Got some NECA terminator stuff, and some cheapo chinasaurs - one is a spinosaurus that I remember being my favorite as a little kid! There's also a raptor and styracosaurus too, which are surprisingly high quality for chinasaurs. They are a little better than the old WS figures.
