Ah, it's a Seismosaurus then. How typical that something I like will be virtually impossible to get. ;D

Thank you so much for the information. I'd better add that to my eBay searches (without much hope). ;D

Arrggh, I hate "Seismosaurus" appearing without the quotes! ('Cos it's actually Diplodocus hallorum.) Yes I'm a pedantic nerd.

I might add though that that is indeed a very nice Diplodocus and I would love one of my own. Oh, and that it was labelled "Seismosaurus" by the company that made it, so, yeah.

I'll get my coat.

[Himmapaan]

Hehe, I will remember in future. I have read that it's said to be actually D. hallorum, though I wasn't sure how universally accepted it is. I'm so behind on heaps of things.

This is the Kabaya Series 2 set. It includes Deinonychus, Spinosaurus, Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus (2). Each of these included a single part which made up Seismosaurus. You could buy these individually, but I bought mine as an entire set.

[Himmapaan]

Oh, good Gods, those are mouth-watering. That's two shocks in a morning, how shall I bear it? ;D

[Horridus]

That's one of my absolute favourite Deinonychus - in fact, dromaeosaur - figures ever. Great pose, great feathers and lively colours.

I think I'd agree with that.

New photos of my collection, had to update half the pictures again haha.

[foxilized]

Pretty!

[sepp]

Thanks ^_^

Really great collection! How do you hang your pterosaurs to keep them level? In other words how do you attach the string?

[sepp]

To keep my pterosaurs level, I take fishing line and tie it in a circle. I then fold it in half so it's essentially just a double-lined string, and I loop one end under the neck of the pterosaur and the other end under the feet/tail. If it doesn't have that good of a hold, I'll also wrap the string around their wings - when I hang them from a thumbtack, I can adjust the length of each string going from the tack to the head/tail, and that will give me the angle I want X3
That probably doesn't explain it well at all :x I'll take pictures later and see if they turn out XD otherwise I can do a drawing or something lol

[blackdanter]

It's very relaxing looking through your photos. Always a great collection to look at as well. Thanks for keeping them coming

Who makes that Whale Shark in amongst your marine reptiles?

[sepp]

Thank you blackdanter!

And, it's the Schleich whale shark I found it at a local toy store completely randomly and had to take it home with me ;D

[sepp]

Posted updated pics of my collection -this one being the main reason for the update!



I got myself a new acrylic shelf for my smaller models to display them easier - I'm so happy with this! ;D
Three other pics are updated as well.

[Horridus]

I could do with some acrylic shelves myself!

Great collection. It's unusual that the original JP Pteranodon gets to lord it up over other figures. ;D

[sepp]

Thank you
I put that JP Pteranodon up there because he looks silly hanging up "flying," and there were other pterosaurs on that shelf anyway

[Horridus]

Completely understand. You have the JP 'hatchling' Pteranodon up there too. I just meant that that figure seems to be a little...unloved.

By the way, since posting I have looked at your updated pics on the first page and I am very impressed! I really like the display.

[sepp]

Thanks a lot! I'm really proud of my collection; when I joined this forum it wasn't as big and I was actually a little embarrassed about it lol

Funnily enough, that old JP Pteranodon is one of my childhood favourites - it's one of the dinosaur toys I've had the longest

[sbell]

So you got the tiered stand, awesome.

It is obviously meant more for display than the ones I have--the risers are quite a bit taller. But then, I found mine in stores, whereas you picked the ones you want from online sources (I'm assuming).

Honestly, however they are found, those tiered shelves make displaying large collections WAY easier--especially with lots of low, flat things like some PV and Dinotales figures.
