FigureFocus 291 Wild Safari Prehistoric World Kaprosuchus

Today is a good one! The Wild Safari Kaprosuchus from 2011! Originally released in the Wild Safari Dinos & Prehistoric Life series, that whole line has been rechristened 'Prehistoric World'. I think this may be about the fourth name for their prehistoric models (most of them) but I guess the new one is more succinct (although sounds a lot like a Schleich series or something.) Either way, this is a great figure, product number 300829 and I actually have a…

Vault Tales 229 Bullyland Batrachotomus

It's been a while, but this week is going to be a couple of Figure Focus posts! No particular reason, it just worked out that way. But they are link in interesting ways--large, carnivorous beasts that predate dinosaurs...figures that represent animals not often seen. Figures that weren't especially easy to get, and are way harder to get now...enough about that. The first figure...was name in the title, so not a surprise! The Bullyland Batrachotomus. This is a scaly, active beast.…

Vault Tales 221 FigureFrenzy Rutiodon, Helicoprion, Reef shark, Jackal, Postosuchus

Back to some random figures, but as a group, ones that I am overall pretty fond of! I think you'll agree that they're all collection worthy for various reasons. ActionProducts I-Dig-Sharks Helicoprion The position of the tooth whorl kind of gives away the age of the figure, although it might have just been wrong! The figure is roughly 1:120, so the diver is too big (or it's a small Helicoprion) First up, a strange, short-lived figure from a company known…

Vault Tales 201 FigureFrenzy Apatosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Saurosuchus, Concavenator, Belemnites

Another bunch of figures today, all prehistoric ones! And a wide range of them...the funny part is that the largest figure is the smallest (and the only not-reptile!) And a strange assortment of brands and styles! CollectA MiniBox A1102 Apatosaurus One of those classic dinosaur figures, this was the first Apatosaurus made by CollectA for their mini box sets. It's about 1:192, so that man is way too large (it's all I have!). First up we have one of the…

Vault Tales 189 Safari Ltd Postosuchus x 2

So the random number generator picked what may be one of their finest prehistoric models for this post--so I decided to pair it with its mini counterpart from a toob set. I am speaking about the Dinos & Prehistoric Animals series Postosuchus, number 287329. This figure was probably one of the real linchpins in Safari turning from a dino toy maker to a dino collectable maker. Released in 2009, it was an immediate hit with collectors, and was a welcome…

Vault tales 46 Nayab Postosuchus

Who makes it? Nayab (or Lontic...it's one of those companies...). It was part of a pair of dino-themed box sets with a...variety...of dinos. Some better than others, none great. When did it come out? I purchased it in about 2010. Possibly around that time, probably sooner than that. This is a very thick take on Postosuchus. But for a low end set, to include an animal like this, that's something! Still available? As with many of these..no idea. Probably. The…
