Takama, the Bullyland Stego is indeed an awesome figure. Sadly I can't really say the same for their theropods :X They have made some gems in the past though, such as their Iguanodon, crouching Pteranodon and Elasmosaurus.

Yeah Takama, it's amazing how a simple repaint can totally change a figure - just look at that Mastodonosaurus repaint that somebody here did. If I painted my figures, I probably wouldn't be as picky as I am now.
This Stegosaurus is painted with its factory colours :o Actually I rather like the colours on this guy, which is rare for me because I usually hate factory colours.

Oh I thought the "I had some fun with it" comment was a repainting reference for some reason. I was probably looking at repainted figures right before that. My fault. I really don't pay much attention to Bullyland, so I'm not familiar with the figure. It just struck me as a better figure than most of their others, so I assumed it was a repaint.

Got the CollectA Utahceratops today.

I'm all for the trend of anatomical accuracy but did they really have to paint its cloaca a dark brown?

My god, now im tempted to start Collecting Bullyland.




Goichino MR Stego *yuck* :P

It all started with that Stego and now I have about 20 different Bullyland figures. Some of their dinosaurs are really ugly, but their mammals are real pieces of art. They're lovely.

Indeed, their theropod toys are abominations :X Their herbivores are much better :) Yay for Bullyland

I have that figure too, and the Kosmoceratops. I was more bothered with the shape of the face/skull. The snout is very thin and the eyes and horns bulge out at the sides, it looks weird.

Also, what other colour did you expect its cloaca to be?

I recently got the Collecta Torosaurus and the head looks a little big - something I'm noticing on a lot of ceratopsian figures for some reason.

I know the REAL Torosaurus' head is quite large, but Collecta made the head a little too big - to the point where it's almost the same size as the body.

Anyway, I thought I'd post some of my new stuff... The Collecta/Mojo Fun figures are my first of these brands, and all of these were purchased at TGF Toys.

Papo Nile Crocodile - I got the reddish tint by placing my finger partially over the flash on my camera...

These two guys!

Well, we'll see!?? I either got one of my best deals ever, or....umm... not. LOL! As you can see on this auction's page, it is very confusing to know what exactly the seller is selling. :P  I am either getting a Definitely Dinosaur's Triceratops, a Kabaya T.rex and Diplodocus, or a Barbie and Ken doll. LOLOL!!! :o

The seller and I have conversed back-n-forth through several emails. And he adamantly affirms that I will be getting the T.rex & Diplo (well, he said, "long neck") as seen in the Product Description pics. I've been wanting one of those Dippy/Seismo's forever! And if I'll get him AND the T.rex for 6 dollars and 80 cents (and Free Shipping on top of that!), that would be a deal of a lifetime for my eBay buys!!  ;D ;D ;D
