Susanne's additions for 2014

   

ROGER DID IT AGAIN   

I was moaning, because it is impossible for me to find Geoworld models on the net here in Europe ( at least unless I want to pay crazy Amazone-prices)  
So Roger went into action, and searched almost all over Portugal , - and look what he found for me  : Five fabulous figures

Each one came in a beautyful, sturdy zipper- plastic bag :

And each bag also contains six informative leaflets, each one in different language :

The leaflets are printed on both sides, - full of useful information :

...and a "Collect-Them-All" - leaflet ! Dangerous for weak souls

Please allow me to preesent my new dinos, even if Takama has already shownthem , - you have to see mine also    

First, the Awesome Amargasaurus

And now for a surprice : Two of the models are in other colours than the ones I have seen before  

The Cortythosaurus is RED

And the Carnotaurus is GREEN

Look at all the detail !
The skin of the Carnotaurus has the "bumps" on the skin, with smaller ones in between, - just as it should be

Thankyou, thankyou, to our fantastic friend, - crogobert  

Congrats Susanne, those are high quality dinosaurs. I am not very familiar with this brand though.    

   

Hurray for Roger again! He knows how to find the figures you somehow don't already have

Roger is a very smart and generous crocodile  

They are very colorful, congrats   

And you used some words I thought a nice lady as you would never use. *in an other context*     

More wonderful Race-Car Dinos   

Great effort by Roger   

Really nice with their packaging and the leaflets  

Susanne, I am very glad I could help! Actually your post is an excelent presentation of how interesting is that line. :)
For a company owned for a palaeontholgist, the crazy looking of the dinosaurs, more designed to young students, could seem a disappointment. They're not absolutely accurate scientifically and they're closer to toys than museum replicas. Though, there are a lot of positive points.
First, their looking, turn some of them very atractive and vibrant. They have action and as they are of similar sizes, they work perfectly exposed in shelves. By the way, the brand has a special shelf make to display them.
Then, they have a reusable bag what allows us to handle them even before buying as we do with other major brand figures, but they can be exposed in shops protected from the hands of the children and also protected from those that love to take them without paying!
It also allows the brand of using these informative cards, really interesting and leaflets, as you say, are the first step to one get addicted to collect all of them.
Now the most interesting point, these belong to 1st Expediction, a group of 36 figures, all different species, no plenty T-rexes or brachios. Then, they were complemented with a 2nd Expediction that, instead of being a boring update of previous figures, is actually another group of 36 different species and again all different from 1st Expediction. You pay 72 figures, you have 72 different species. To finish my long comment, next step will be a series of 18 different prehistoric mammals and it won't surprise me that after it we'll have a group of pterosaurs and prehistoric marine reptiles.
All collection can be seen * here *

Very very nice new dino additions! Congratulations Susanne!!

What The Heck? It seems you got the older color schemes of a couple of the Geoworlds.

I am now envious of your Red Cory.

The reason I started this line in the fist place is the vast array of species that other company's are afraid to tackle(Even CollectA has not done some of the species that Geoworld has did)

I'm glad I inspired others to buy some from this fun line of figures



Roger, there are indeed Marine Reptiles being made for 2015, as well as a few creatures from before the dinosaurs.

As for Pterosaurs, I am not sure if there going to make them yet, and if they do, they might not come out until 2016 (Though they do have a few Pterosaur Skeleton Kits)

Thanks Takama for this leaflet, I didn't know that and I was speculating considering the strategy of Geoworld. That's really nice.
About the red cory, of course I can try to find it for you, I've found the 5 figures of Susanne in 3 different post offices of 2 different cities!
I live in a huge city with lots of post offices so it won't surprise me if I find another, though, it won't be cheap for you once you already know what happens when Euros are converted to dolars! Though, just let me know.

That's ok Roger, I don't plan on getting different colored figures. I like to keep this line consistent with one figure per species.

That are very wonderful dinosaurs figurines!!

That's right although it is one of the most "dramatic" variations I ever seen.

cute Geoworld dinos Susanne!

What a handsome flock of rainbow dinos.   Congratulations!

Congratulations Susanne, very interesting to see color variations too. :)

Thankyou, dear friends

And now let me show what I got from Chris ( Melekh) on Ebay  :

Gnu does not have any markings, which I could not restist
But Gnu and Zebra have been good friends on the shelf for a long time, so Chris could bear to separate them

Thankyou for the lovely Zebra-friend, Chris

When I compared Gnu with the Schleich gnu from '99, it is obvious that they are almost the same !

The mould lines ar a bit more visible on Gnu than on gnu , - that is all .

But look at the bellies

The 3rd member in the parcel must have been rather frightening for Gnu   
Safari rhinoceros Viper from 1996 , - isn't he GORGEOUS ?

Thankyou very much , Chris   

Very wonderful and interesting new stuff!! A not marked gnu is really rare i think and the snake is my favourite      

The gnu is very cool, and the snake is huge! Congrats!

That Viper looks real in the grass

Wow, I agree   Had to look twice! Great photos making the snake look very real!   

Congrats! I really like the snake, but he's far too large for my shelves. Keep him away from the zebra and gnu   

A Gnu with no markings, wow!     
I'm happy that Gnu and Zebra are still together, shelffriends4ever

Uurhm, that snake... how did your cats react?    

Interesting gnu, mainly when it is not marked and is so similar with the Schleich one.
Do I know that viper? Is it an Incredible creature?

wow lovely newconers! i especially love the viper.
