Here are my Plesios finally! It took forever to round them all up for a photo op, I am sure I have a few here and there that I forgot I have. As I have said before in my other post, the Plesio group is the largest in my collection. Unfortunately many are just called plesiosaurs, with elasmosaurus being the most common species represented. It is also one of the first ever marine reptile made as a toy figure, going way back.So it is no surprise that it is in the top 10 of must have in every toy line that produce dinosaur figures. I believe almost all of them have a plesio, right? With the many figures release from Asia, we are now getting some new species such as Hydrotherosaur from Procon, Elasmotherium from Kaiyodo, Futabasaurus from SEGA. Hopefully we will see more. It is truly tragic that the WR prehistoric sea monster line got pulled from production, it would have added new one. I am sure many other line are not represented in my collection (Starlux,Yowies, etc.), but again it is a young collection ( I only started targeting marine reptiles,Pterosaurs, amphibians, and mammals more aggressively for 2 years). So feel free to share photos of figures that are not in my collection that you may have. I always enjoy seeing other collectors collection. Lets see if we can come up with a total ;D So here they are, the Boki plesiosaur collection: THE BIGGER FIGURES: Ah, look at how many ways the necks are positioned! The swan like is still the most popular, but look at how similar the European figures are. The Chap Mei is the largest one I have. He is also the most freaky looking ;D I like him though. [img src="http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p323/Bokichops/S7306881.jpg" ![]() THE SMALLER FIGURES: You will see the oldies mixed with the newer goodies in this photo. [img src="http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p323/Bokichops/S7306883.jpg" ![]() THE GROUP: And off they go to the inland sea! ;D Who has the longest neck? Whos is the best looking? Thats up to you guys to decide ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) I, unfortunately (how could I ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ) realized that I forgot all about my Salvat elasmo! So you will not see him in the lineup ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) However, two new plesios are on their way, swimming across the Pacific as we speak, I have the TRU and the SEGA coming soon ;D [img src="http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p323/Bokichops/S7306879.jpg" ![]() And there you have it, a look at my prehistoric marine reptile collection ;D I hope you all enjoyed the show and will join me next time as we look at the various ceratopsian and duckbills ;D PS. Are there rare and hard to find Plesios? ![:'(](http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn107/martianleader1/car%20show/Walking%20with%20monsters/OrthoconeAnim.gif)

Nice! Is your Carnegie Elasmo (old color scheme) the original with the outstretched neck or is it the same sculpt as the new repaint?

You're still missing the Kaiyodo Elasmo (and no, not the -therium ;D) and the Topps Plesiosaurus.

But I do ( at least it's what I mistakenly called a -therium) have it ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) [img src="http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p323/Bokichops/S7306892.jpg" ![]() ![](http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p323/Bokichops/S7306891.jpg) He is in a small glass case with his green friend! I tried to make it look like an aquarium ;D I know that he also come in a black version, now that I don't have ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png)

Dinocrats? What do they look like? I don't think I am familiar with them at all. Pics? The AAA elasmo qualify as, IMO, a rare elasmo, yes? I don't have him and can't really (won't is more like it ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) afford the price it is going for when available. It is also one of the hardest one to find.Hmmmm maybe someone will make me a nice offer

Maybe overseas, but i could not find that darn thing anywhere in the US at a reasonable price ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) Hmm, if it is true and is still available in your area, maybe you can get me one and I will buy it from you, yes? ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) ;D Please ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)
