You surely must mean one of the only Eryops figures you've ever seen. ;D Yeah that also. But, as roselaar and sbell said; there are more of them. PV Deiner small Deiner large And 2 versions of the kaiyodo one. And.. the one in the prehistoric amphibian toob from safari coming out next year (I hope) I want the Deiner ones. I love prehistoric amphibians. My purpose is to get the largest prehistoric amphibian collection of DTF ;D

And good luck with the amphibian collection--you will likely be relying on razh00 to continue his Shapeways work (which is just fine). And hunting down some Starlux ones...

Shapeways... if I know how to order them ;D and starux will be hard. I need Shapeways, Deiners, yowie deltasaurus, kaiyodo v2's, and starlux. If somebody has some spare, PM me ;D.

Woohoo! Both look great Stoneage. Congrats on your new acquisitions! Thanks, I normally don't go for such bright figures but their growing on me.

Sinclair Brontosaurus Very nice. Amazing color on the brontosaurus. Are they true Sinclair figure from the traveling exhibit in the 60's, or mold-aramas made recently? Seem like recent ones based on the colors. Did you get to see the exhibit in the 60s? I did, and somewhere have photos of all of those dinosaurs, including one of myself on a small brontosaurus statue. I have the remnants of those mold-arama figures left from that visit. Unfortunately, several of them later became BB gun targets , so only a few remain relatively complete. I do have several newer copies of those figures that I bought from similar mold-arama machines at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago about 8 years ago. They are smaller versions of the same figures though. Still, they come from the same machines, which are a blast to watch. They have transparent bubble tops that let you see inside as the two halves of the mold join and are injected with wax. Then, the new, toasty warm model is revealed as the molds separate and the figure drops down into a bin for you to retrieve. Ahh, did a quick youtube search - here's a video (maybe that's your triceratops, Stoneage?!): No I don't believe their from the Dinoland exhibit. The Triceratops has no writing on it and the Brontosaurus just says Milwaukee County Zoo. I saw the figures of course when I was young but I didn't make the exhibit or own any of the figures at that time. I do however have a Dinoland Tyrannosaurus pictured here with the SRG figure.

Haha, love that T rex. Horridus would barf if he saw that one! You've intrigued me to try and find mine now! Wonder where they got off to? I know I have a bunch of photos of the dinosaurs from the exhibit that my dad took when he brought me. I was around 7 or 8, I think. Now THAT was a very special day in my life. If I ever get back to Chicago anytime soon, I'll have to make a run to the Field Museum and take orders for the figures. Bet several folks would want one. They were only a buck or so, as I recall (maybe $2.50). Update: Found 'em! Here's a horrible photo from my iphone of what's left of my Sinclair dinoland wax figures: The Corythosaurus shows a lost arm and some major flesh wounds from the BB hits. The T rex has been glued back onto the base (badly, with silicone cement it appears). The Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurs are in surprisingly good shape, considering these are over 40 years old and made of hollow wax. Here's the stash of wax mold-arama figures I made during our family's visit to the Field Museum about 6 years ago:

Got a lot from Carnegie Museum today. Carnegie new Spinosaurus Carnegie Giganotosaurus CArnegie Diplodocus 2008 I'm not satisfied with the packing they did though. They just threw the dinos in a cardboard box and stuffed it with paper, but the dinos were touching each other and the cardboard. The result is paint wear and a spino with deformed face.

Went fossil hunting today and got a lot of nice fossils. Mostly shark teeth, but I found a fish bone and some shark cartilage as well as some Devonian coral, an ammonite suture, and an invertebrate burrow.

The only Arthropleura I am aware of is the Groovy Toob book one--and there is an Opabinia in that as well (there are several others). The only Pikaia I am aware of are the ROM one and the COG Panorama ones. So either a mixed lot, or there is a new set nobody else knows about.

Arthropleura and one of the Opabinia were the Groovy Toob ones, Pikaia and other Opabinia were COG, I was selling some replicas to downsize the collection and figured I would send some to Gorgonopsid since she seemed especially interested in paleozoic life replicas (and I wasn't as much anymore)

P.S.S if anyone wants to pm me about the croc toob you can. Thanks, It's made by Safari--it (and the prehistoric sharks one) are the ones developed with my input. The T.rex Centre (the museum I manage) store has some. $10 each plus postage if you are interested.
