Alas, I don't have pictures of all of my favorite acquisitions of 2014. But here are some of them.
I'm missing pictures of these favorites:
Barn Owl (
Kaiyodo) (2014)
Barbary Sheep (Mouflon à manchettes) (
Starlux)
African Cape Buffalo (
Starlux)
Hippopotamus Cow (
Papo) (2014)
Springbok (
CollectA) (2014)
Mosasaurus (
CollectA) (2014)
But here are some of which I do have pictures:
The old
Battat Edmontonia. I realize that this model is about to be re-released (sometime over the next couple of years) at my local Target for under $10. Despite this, I'm still happy I picked up this model. The pleasure I've milked from it over the last year has been worth the absurd (and soon to be unnecessary) cost.
I thought the new 2014
Carnegie Tyrannosaurus rex was criminally underrated. Beautiful sculpt, beautiful head--perfect really--wonderful tiny arms, lovely proportions. For me, this is infinitely preferable to the "monster movie" style of rendering Theropods. But I'll re
b... ahem, re
frain from mentioning any names.
The 2014
CollectA Tasmanian Devil was such a treat. The details of its mouth are just wonderful.
The tiny little
Kaiyodo Dinotales Apatosaurus is so beautifully sculpted. It's the genus come to life.
