Vault tales 90 Kaiyodo Dinotales Arsinoitherium

Who makes it? More Kaiyodo Dinotales! From Series 7, just like the previously discussed Dinotales Elasmosaurus. It is 116A, meaning that it is also among the A-line variants like that Elasmosaurus. Again, I only picked up one variety of each animal. When did it come out? I haven't discovered a different date since last time...so 2008-ish? Easily the most dynamic Arsinoitherium figure I know of, or have. Still available? Only in after markets like auctions. As always, these are limited…

Vault tales 80 Kaiyodo Dinotales Elasmosaurus

Who makes it? Kaiyodo Dinotales, part of the 7th series. The Elasmosaurus is number 117A--the brown colour one. I think 117B is purple, but I only got one! Seen from above. It really shows off how big the body is, compared to how skinny and long the neck is. When did it come out? I feel like it was around 2008 but I can't exactly remember. Still available? As with all Dinotales, these were limited in their availability. And of…

Vault tales 42 Kaiyodo Dinotales Series 2 Smilodon Skull

Who makes it? Kaiyodo Dinotales, Series 2. Number 48 (the series were numbered continuously--this skull would have been the 24th in the second series) When did it come out? Pretty close to 2000 One challenge of Dinotales skulls? Display. They don't have bases or platforms. Many are flat bottomed but some, like ceratopsian frills or the Smilodon skull, do not lend themselves to resting nice and straight up. Here, a Colorata base (from their sturgeon) and acrylic peg does the…

Vault tales #29 Kaiyodo Dinotales Liopleurodon v2

Who makes it? Kaiyodo, as part of the Dinotales line. Series 1 (but see below) item number 011.2 When did it come out? Bit of history here...The first series of Dinotales came out in 2001. A set of 24 blind bag figures that needed to be put together (for the most part) using as modern a design for the shape and patterns as possible. There was also a chase figure (a tuatara, for some reason). They were popular, so Kaiyodo…

Vault Tales 10 Kaiyodo Dinotales Plateosaurus

Who makes it? Kaiyodo as part of their Dinotales line, Series 5 to be exact, the A version (more brown). The item number is 90A (the Dinotales stayed pretty consistent with their numbering over several series) When did it come out? About 2006 Behold! The first of likely many Dinotales, and Kaiyodo figures, to come! If I wasn't being truly random, I probably would have started with a different one. Still available? Only in auctions and other lot sales. These…
