Man that purple vinyl is so nice.

The paint on these is terrific as well.

I found this pic online of the limited blue Jiatorima from the last batch:

Really hope at some point I can find a Jiatorima, the last Uchugenjin, and some of the other Keratosarus.

Yeah the blue and gold go well together, minimal paint but the overall result is purdy... :)

I had no idea that existed. Just thought there were the yellows and the original lighter blue ones.

From the translation I read, I believe that bird was available if you spent a certain amount on the releases, I believe it was 25k yen.

Wow, Yellow & red Jia is still my fave. Just missed that one on GT :cry:

Orange Kera is a knock out too.

Each day in these threads I shave off a little more of my ignorance of the goings on in the modern toy-world, and each day I find another crushingly lovely something I'd love to bring into my already crowded home...
although I suppose if one of these landed on my finger, like a Disney bird, it would probably leave with my arm.

+1. I'm drawn to the Diatryma, Ceratosarus and the 2 headed Ghidorah looking sculpts the most. Awesome toys.

Edit: for corrected spelling

Omg. Everyone stop spelling the names like that.

Jiatorima = Diatryma (aka, Gastornis)

Keratosaurus = Ceratosaurus

They are Latin names. Not Japanese.

Dr. Grant is rolling in his fictional grave (if he died, I dunno, how many Jurassic Park books are there?)

Ok Ok Daniel. Sorry Google translator isn't the best at converting japanese text, these were also the spellings on GT so I just copied them. Fixed. Anyhow I thought I recognized the bird from my old 'Walking with Prehistoric Beasts' BBC DVD set. I'm pretty sure the segment was called 'Terror Birds'. Apparently they were carnivorous 8 foot tall, 300 pound killers. Here's a illustration:

It's so pissed off, but it's hot pink so (much like the pissed off hot pink wearing fat ladies of my childhood in the late 80's) I can't take it seriously. I can (unlike the same ladies) think it's pretty cool anyway.

Damn - first new pink toy I've wanted in while and sold out at Grumble Toy. Quite a nice paint job on this one.
