Nice haul, brontodocus, with the additional advantage that little shelf space will be demanded. I especially admire the crab. (I'd add that I have quite a few crabs, but I'm afraid some of you might get the wrong idea!)

 Received two little parcels from the far east...  Funny thing, I just recently got a parcel from the far west (Vancouver, thanks to Piltdown/TTL), which now completes my Siamotyrannus trifecta:   Three little ballerinas! The reddish-brown-greenish is the RA. I realize there's one more variant, but I think that's it for me ;D |

Oh, wonderful!  And you have both the Siamotyrannus versions! *Envious* ;D There are actually 4 different colours--a greenish one and a brownish one as well (I have the blue and brown). So now I know who pushed that yellow Siamo up so much... I have a greenish one with red down the sides! |

I have a greenish one with red down the sides! Yeah, I have that one. I just think the yellow is such a striking one. I have no other reason to have three of the same figure (although I do have three of the Dinotales Tyrannosaurus). |

Received two little parcels from the far east... That 'Gila monster' Siamotyrannus is cool isn't it? If only Kaiyodo had scaled this up into a 1/20 vinyl pre made ............ I'd remortgage my house for that  |

Yeah, I like it too. And sbell, sorry.  Actually I thought I had seen pictures of it somewhere that were taken by you... Oh, and fossil: The crab is a Common Box Crab, Calappa lophos from Aquatales Series 2. It is quite a common figure. I know of two sellers that offer it BIN. PM me if you want to have the links, I've bookmarked them.  Radman, that's also a really nice one. I am sure the colour schemes of all of them are based on extant lizards - as Sepp wrote the yellow one is reminiscent of the Gila Monster - but I am not sure about from which species they took that one on the left. However, the green Siamotyrannus is easy for all you herp people - Common Collared Lizard, Crotaphytus collaris:  |

Some more duckbills for the herd.  Thanks to Sumo for the Fukuisaurus and Altirhinus, the Iguana is from Clawmark. |

Is that a Dinotales Iguanodon?

Radman, are you sure that the great "Lanzendorf collection" book should be treated that way ;D? Turned upside down and functioning as a cheap background? ;D

@ Blackdanter. I agree with you on the Dimorphodon - it is my favorite COG pterosaur figure. There has been some disagreement on whether it could have been bipedal. I love the paintjob and the dynamic active pose (relative to other pterosaur figures).
The clarity of your photographs now has me kicking myself for not getting the earliest life series. The other photos I saw didn't show off the figures as nicely.

The other photos I saw didn't show off the figures as nicely. It is great. Kinda looks like she's lifting her skirts to run. Hmm, I doubt that it could stand like this but it does make for a nice figure. I've come in at the tail end of these figures so I suspect that I've missed a lot of the interesting ones (although the dinos looked awful!). Still, I'm quite happy with these and have the remainder of the pterosaurs on the way Cheers Dean, actually my photography really is quite bad ......... thank the gods for photo editing software |

That said, the other 4 sets (early life, pterosaurs, sea life and early reptiles) are awesome. I regret not getting more than 1 set of each (I have a few doubles, but not enough!). |

The mammals are a bit of a mixed bag but I do like the Woolly Rhino and Embolotherium. The Smilodon's a bit 'goofy' looking aswell! On the whole I was pleasantly surprised by these after having a few other COG products passing through my hands over time! |

Found the Schleich Shonisaurs for £1 in a charity shop today, and even though I don't normally go for marine reptiles I thought it something of a bargain...

A herd of COG prehistoric critters arrived today  COG? What company is that? Those are really cute, what size are they? |

I'm curious too. I really like the Dimorphodon and the Dsungaripterus-like pterosaur on the right (what is it, by the way?). |
