Gecko08’s Favorite Figures: An Extinct Species Reference List

Well I’m not going out of my way to pay 70 dollars for the Colorata one. I think the one in the pictures will make its way into my collection

It's a knock-off of Colorata's Cameroceras. That's a shame.

What’s so shameful about it? I get a Cameroceras so I’m all smiling.

So, I finally got the ROM figures and I’m ready to show them here. I though they would be inferior the the favorite softmodels but now that I have them in hand, I really like them a lot.

And last, here is the ROM models compared to the softmodels.

That's a set with very unusual creatures and long gone. It seems they fit exactly your collecting tastes. It is always fantastic when we receive figures and they're over our expectations.

It is nice to have your expectation exceeded. Thankfully my expectations have always been met by figures. I just sent a message to the Royal Ontario Museum so that hopefully they will make other Primeval Predators kits.

I’m surprised at the difference of the Favorite softmodel and the ROM Olenoides model. And they’re supposed to represent the same animal!

Wonderful rarities.

Thank you. I’ll be making a diorama about the ROM figures so I’m sure it will turn out well.

Here it is! I guess all Cambrian sets make wonderful dioramas.

Looks great! It is always refreshing to see something different from a giraffe with an acacia. Well, to be fair it is great to see all kinds of dioramas.

And since I made two other tub dioramas, I could just find the lids and stack them up!

That is literally layers of creatures! From the Cambrian to be specific!

What a great idea

Super dioramas

And Susanne, I need your help. Since you are an admin, you can (maybe) edit the title of my other page.

I need you to change “Cambrian Dioramas” to “Paleozoic Dioramas & Outdoor Photos” just like I have written here.

I renamed that topic for you. Though, you can also rename your own topics just clicking on the cross you find on the top right of the first post. Just rewrite the title of the topic and save it.

Thanks roger! I didn’t know but I do now!

Also does anyone know about an Eotriceratops figures?

Vitae made a prototype of Eotriceratops, but I don't think it ever entered production. Diramix made a cheap rubber one, but it's very ugly and probably not worth the effort of tracking it down.

Ok

I missed this post. These are very nice and clever!

And since I can use the lids like that, I can make more dioramas!

I did too! It's a great way to store the dioramas and they are very well made too
