Here are my dios! I have "borrowed" your methods of making water and such, tomhet   A plesiosaurus swims in clam water under the light of the moon.  A tyrannosaur corners a helpless triceratops.  A velociraptor leaps over a log in it's desert habitat.  An ornithosuchus snatches up a rutiodon before it can reach the safety of the rapids.  A Suchomimus catches a shark in the foamy lagoon.  An ichthyosaurus swimming near the lake bed.  A dunkleosteus breathes a gulp of water while swimming into some plants.  An Allosaurus poses for the camera in the jungle.  A Carnotaurus gnaws on a sauropod bone.  My customized acrocanthasaurus in it's natural habitat.  A female spinosaurus defends it's meal from a hungry male spinosaurus. Hope you like! |

Wow! These are pretty good. Is that Rutiodon a custom? The one with the Dunkie and that with the Ichthyo are perfect in my eyes  The bone for the Carno is a little too big ;D Can you modify the plastic? Maybe blur it a little bit to make it look as if it were in movement? Also, I think it works best with transparent plastic EDIT: I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty to modify slightly two of your dios. I cropped them a little bit and moved around the 'water'. Just an example of what can be done   |

There has been one thing bugging me--Ornithosuchus was about 4m long, while Rutiodon was about 3m long--I'm guessing that the contest would have been a little more even.
And I can't believe you chopped up a K&M International (Wild Republic) Gavial from their Exotic Reptiles bin collection! There are people desperately hunting those (I've heard). So I curse that I only have one of each from the set.

thank you tomhet And the plastic was transparent, I just put a purple piece of construction paper underneath it! Thanks for modifying them! They look better now ;D As for the rutiodon- Yes, it is a custome, and I bout it for 49 cents, and there were 10 more at the store. I will get a few more now! I was also going to say it was a small rutiodon, but I left it out for some reason. Canotaurus- Couldn't it have been a leg bone of an argentinosaurus? And yes, that is a bolt. I was wondering if anybody would notice that ;D |

I have always regretted not picking up more when I had the chance. |

Sure! How many do you want? It is just that I don't have paypal... I would want a couple. I will have to come up with a way to get the money to you (I'm going to guess that two rubber figures in an envelope won't cost much to mail!). I might have some US cash around, so I can send that if I can find it (oddly, I don't use it much!). Alternatively, I could offer some kind of trade--like do you need a real rutiodon figure? I think I have a spare Kaiyodo one around. |

Sbell- I just got back from the store, and I have three. there was 7 there, but you said just a couple, so... That's more than enough for me. So here's the thing--I know I have a spare Rutiodon. My database says so. Now I just have to find it... We can PM each other with addresses. I will find it this weekend (he says hopefully...) |
