Prehistoric Crocodile Toob: Euparkeria Why does this remind me of Postosuchus? P.S. Yeah I should go watch Walking With Monsters again. ;D

Why does this remind me of Postosuchus? Maybe because Safari once again gave Postosuchus too long forelimbs that were actually about half the size of the hindlimbs

Why does this remind me of Postosuchus? Maybe because Safari once again gave Postosuchus too long forelimbs that were actually about half the size of the hindlimbs Funny thing--I was showing the toob to someone in our store, and was mentioning that the bright red Pristichampsus is quite popular with kids, when I realized that the toob I was holding didn't actually have any in it--but it did have two Euparkeria figures. Even stranger, the toob behind it had no Euparkeria--but two Pristichampsus! I have now fixed the toobs, but it was off to see such a strange error. Twice. Together. As for recent acquisitions (sort of): From postsaurischian: A Marolin Hyena! Finally have one, thank you (actually got it a while ago). From Boki: A Scanopedia Rhamphorhynchus. Again, finally! Thanks again. And one more, with a tongue-in-cheek finally, from Dinonikes: Not one, but TWO Brontotherium figures, which are very cool! Thanks for those too!

Well I bought my Croc Tube at the South Florida Museum. When I got home from the museum I found I had two Euparkria and no Pristichapsus. I had to drive all the back to the museum the next day to exchange for the only toob left. Fortunately It had all 10 crocs. Prehistoric Crocodile Toob: Sarchosuchus

I got a small package today, and inside it was.... The PAPO ANKYLOSAURUS! Got it on Amazon for only $12! The best part? It came all the way from the UK with free shipping. It really is a spectacular figure. Pictures tomorrow! ;D

Got all these things for $5: Each figure has a number on the bottom, and I arranged them in numerical order looping around the rock. In order, 1-24: Corythosaurus Ankylosaurus Pteranodon Tyrannosaurus Stegosaurus Camptosaurus Iguanodon Brontosaurus Protoceratops Triceratops Parasaurolophus Dimetrodon Elasmosaurus Tylosaurus Icthyosaurus Palaeoscincus Polacanthus Smilodon Coelodonta (woolly rhino) Cynognathus Mammuthus Moropus Diatryma Brachiosaurus The Dinosaur Toy Collector says they're Panini or something like that. It's funny thinking about them because I've realised that I already own three of them: the Triceratops I got as a gift, the Palaeoscincus I found in a gutter, and the Icthyosaurus was a prize for a museum scavenger hunt. Cheap and nasty as they may be, I adore the old-school reconstructions, like the finned Tylosaurus and the Iguanodon that's been ripped straight from the 1900s. The Coelodonta is particularly interesting as it has too many horns and fangs, so it's half Uintatherium. Another interesting point is the types of dinosaur species included-there's only one theropod (Tyrannosaurus) and four armoured dinosaurs, two of which (Anklyosaurus and Palaeoscincus) are nearly identical. So it's a really interesting set for several reasons.

There's 24 in total of them, and they're deliciously retro. Plus, they feature species not seen in other lines. I don't know the name of the company that actually produced them though.

It's a company called Mech. And they are sometimes sold in toobs, with some updated figures like Velociraptor.

WWD Utahraptor and Iguanodon! The hands of the Iguanodon and the feet look quite goofy, apart from that it´s a nice figure. The Utahraptor does not stand, but looks like Alice Cooper - I like it! The seller added a Sega Ankylosaurus and a small Safari Ankylosaurus, both of which I´m very fond of!

I got hold of a small ornithopod by Nemesis Now in Lincoln yesterday (after my graduation). It looks like it's based on an old DK model of Heterodontosaurus, posed as if licking its hands. Seemed like an unusual figure for £1.50. Will probably upload a photo.
