Never enough a fan of dinos, but agreed that at this price it looks like lots of fun to be had. Yeah, it’s almost more adorable than terrifying. I hear the Amber collection ones are closer to movie accurate, but I don’t have $35 to spend on a dinosaur toy. The stands on the amber ones hilariously appear as though the dinosaurs are constantly peeing, so I guess that’s a fun bonus. As far as this little Hammond collection version, it was a total impulse buy and I’m not disappointed, the imperfections actually make me smile. There aren’t too many fun toys for around ten bucks these days, I felt alright skipping lunch that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda want the gallimimus after seeing some pictures and it doesn’t look too expensive either. Things have come a long way since I was little and all the dinosaur toys were rubber static pose items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likenesses and character selection has come a long way since the '90s, that's for sure! Mattel is doing great things with the line.

I don’t remember them being a super great toy company other than maybe He Man back in the old days. The amber collection dinosaurs look really great, but for me after this raptor with all the crazy joints and cheap price, I’m really loving the Hammond collection. I’m also eyeballing the T. rex from the Hammond collection and it looks great for $50. It looks more like a premium figure that others would charge quite a bit more. Too bad he’s sold out at the moment, but the comic con version looks really fun with the dude on the crapper . I’m betting that’s gonna be a tough one to get cheap. Mattel really upped their game with these highly articulated dinosaurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I think, most of us are now generally familiar with the MCU Iron Man aesthetic. Here is an Iron Man suit looking somewhat quite different than we are used to seeing: This suit is an interpretation of what Howard Stark wears in the comic book, specifically the House of M story arc which I understand to be set in one of the many alternate-verses.

I managed to snag one for $80, but after shipping and customs (not to mention the devastatingly weak yen), it cost me a lot more than I bargained for...! 😬 The rain looks like a photoshopped element, I think. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Was packing away some stuff and reorganizing. Found some of my old gundam msia action figures.did some quick weathering on the ones in the top picture back in the day. The bottom picture we’re all custom painted other than char in the background. I used to love these little guys back when they came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy I hadn't already ordered one of those, since the Gennaro "Outhouse" set comes with a nigh-identical T-Rex... a completely different figure than the T-Rex that came with Timmy and the Explorer, mind you (despite representing the same dino from the same scene). I like a little more variety in my dino collection, which is why I was happy to find a Dreadnoughtus on sale: I don't know how the hell I'm gonna display it. 😶 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some msia figures that had a slightly larger size, but I never got those, just the little guys. And yeah toy price inflation is pretty significant these days, so I get a bit choosy with the robot spirits and usually only buy my favorites like the gp01 that big dino is pretty cool, but I have no idea where to put it. I tend to rarely buy large items these days due to limited space, but I do admire the big stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Every occasionally when I fiddle or look at RotF Megatron, his gunmetal silver and tank tread feet reminds me of a certain cool baddie in an old 80's show that briefly aired in my part of world, but I could never recall the names of both the baddie and the show. But the name 'Blaster' suddenly hit me today, and I am finally able to search up Blastarr from the show Captain Power. Although, Captain Power must have been very obscure over the years, that I can't find even a full image of Blastarr on the net today. Only a video though, and seeing Blastarr again, I kinda feel disappointed he doesn't look as bulky or huge as my hazy memory serves lol..

I didn’t realize I was looking at it backwards I can totally see what you mean. This design was confusing to me too when I first laid eyes on them. These Figmas have been circa 10 years since release, and I now realize why Figmas of that era was considered to be very good value. Not only because of the very much lower sticker price then (as with all other toys), but there was ton of accessories included, compared to very barebones release of modern Figmas..
