Wow, Seijun, all those came in the same box from the same person? There's some really nice extinct figures there. And independently, some of those can fetch pretty decent prices. I'm guessing you got a pretty good deal?
Oh, and I keep forgetting to tell you how much I like your new display cases. Congrats!

They are an accumulation from several different sellers, which a very kind forum member was holding for me (since the original sellers did not ship to the US). I am in the process of cleaning the child paint off the white invictas, it is going well, but very tedious!

There are some good eggs on this forum, aren't there! Glad to hear the paint is coming off. Hey, is that Invicta Cetio an extra for you? If so, it's one of the last sauropods I still need of theirs, if you're looking to unload him. Though, I'm like you and want everything as near mint as possible. This guy looks good from the pic, but you'd know better. Let me know. No big rush.  |

Great new additions everyone! Wow, some really cool figures there.  |

The cetio is quite abused, which is unfortunate since he is a wonderful shade of dark blue (normal color is purple). He will stay in my collection for now.

I thought he looked like a darker shade. I just thought it was the pic. Sometimes the Invicta solid colors show up slightly different in different shots and different lighting. So, you should keep him since he's a rarer color, no matter what his condition. Anyway, no prob! One never knows if one never asks, right?  |

I will try to remember you if I get an extra cetio.

Hey thanks! I do have an auction ending this Monday with a "claimed" very good shape Cetio in it. He does look good in the pic. But, only shows one side. But, the seller does have 100% positive feedback. So, I tend to believe him. If the price doesn't go too crazy, I'll bid on him. BTW, the seller is "pretimes" in California and is also selling the new issue of Prehistoric Times Mag. Do you or anyone know if he is the same guy who does the mag? I'm thinking towards yes. If so, then I'll really start paying attention to his auctions more in the future! Thanks again, Seijun! |

Found a Tyco Styracosaurus in a comics shop today. Bought it for $6.
This thing is adorable.

Are the Playvision toys collectable? I really don't care to keep them, I think I'll put them on my trade list. The armadillo says Safari on the bottom, that is all I know about it. I figured it came from a toob. I like it, it now sits next to my Invicta Glyptodon. Those PV figures are not so much collectible (they are one of the few lines they still make). And yeah, they are very odd in that they all have essentially the same body. The Armadillo is not a toob figure, it was from their special collections in the late 90s. Is it rare?  |

All clean! WOW!  And they look in great physical shape as well. Would T. rex really be that big compared to a full grown Stego? Seems the Stego should be a bit bigger. |

The animal's length as printed on the figure is "about 5m", which is a little on the small side but does correspond with the 1:45 scale of the line. Of course, they are both very outdated reconstructions. |

He sometimes have some really cool figures up for sale. |
