Gecko08’s Collection Group Shots

Subject: Gecko08’s Collection Group Shots Tue Jan 12, 2021 2:09 am

I decided that it would be a good idea to make group shots of figures in my collection. I’m going to start with Cambrian, but my only rules are that the figures have to be in similar or same scale. I’m probably going to jump around with the periods a lot so hang in there.

I just ordered the Paleocasts leanchoilia and I should be getting it soon.

Thanks! Here is some Cambrian at 1:3-1:5

Redlichia rex (Collecta), Laggania cambria (ROM), Anomalocaris canadensis (Flormoon)
I would say Burgess Shale, but the Redlichia rex is known from Australia.

Wonderful again! cheers

Here is some Cambrian from 1:2-1:1
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Thaumaptilion walcotti (TopFin Petsmart Decoration), Ottoia prolifica (Safari Ltd), Sanctacaris uncata (Safari Ltd), Sidneyia inexpectans (Safari Ltd), Tricrepicephalus tripunctatus (Safari Ltd)
I have a boatload of 1:1 Cambrian figures, so I’m trying to break them up into different photos.

This is right up my alley, thanks for showing! I really hope to get the ROM set someday.

I can't believe a so young boy collect these so strange and few known animals! cheers

Subject: Re: Gecko08’s Collection Group Shots Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:11 pm

Wonderful on both again. I love that you found a petsmart decoration represents an actual species.

I found another one that resembles a Crinoid. I will have to show it in a future post.

I have the crinoid-looking one, or at least one that is crinoid looking. Bought mine at Walmart, you can check there. They're probably from the same manufacturer. Don't have the Thaumaptilion one, at least not yet, though I remember seeing it or similar.

It is made by topfin and I found it here on the Petsmart store: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I don’t want to make another group shot until my Leanchoilia arrived in the mail from Paleocasts. My custom Haikouicthys model is in the making (it’s about 3x life size and it might be an eyesore).
P.S. my Leanchoilia just shipped today.

Also I’m proud to present the first (and last) Ordovician photos. I have a pretty small Ordovician collection. It’s so small I can cover it all in just one update.

So here is Early to Middle Ordovician 1:1
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Crinoid (Petsmart), Vauxia (Safari), Naraoia (Safari), Neoasaphus (Paleocasts), Asaphus cornutus (Paleocasts)
Now I included the Vauxia and Naraoia in this photo because they both survived to the late Silurian, even if they were both the most common in the Cambrian era.

Now here is Middle Ordovician 1:50
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Cameroceras (Flormoon) I had to include a 1:50 human for scale. I probably won’t get another 1:50 Ordovician figure because of how small most of those creatures were. I’m still on the hunt for the Collecta Orthoceras. It looks like I will be updating the Ordovician later this year after I order that game.
