This is a bit of an experiment. I've been um-ing and ah-ing about setting up a forum dedicated to animal toys for a while now and I've finally decided to bite the bullet and see what happens. The Animal Toy Forum is a new partner site to the Dinosaur Toy Forum, and I've set it up using the same software and format as the DTF, in the hope of recreating the same friendly and open atmosphere here that has made the dinotoyforum a success. The forum is a place for us to share our love for animals and animal toys, share our collections, make trades, discuss upcoming releases, and everything else a good forum facilitates. I also intend to run a diorama contest :). Perhaps the Animal Toy Forum, or ATF, will also become a valuable resource for information on animal toys. I don't know! In any case, welcome to the spangly new Animal Toy  Forum...I look forward to seeing what happens!  C:-)

It Is a great idea Adam. I think that is other mode that more people can participate because I think that is posible that they dont have figures of dinosaurs, but they have another figures of mammals, reptiles or othre animals. I would like to participate in the diorama contest  ^-^.

Yes, it's a great idea, indeed. :) Oh, a diorama contest would be a great idea, too. Although I never managed to participate in any diorama contests on DTF. Mostly because I simply forgot to make an entry in time. Oh well... :-\ ;D

Ouch! How did the ATF become 12 years old!

It honestly feels like longer, but I just celebrated 8 years in Utah and it seems hard to believe I was only on ATF for four years in GA?!?! Maybe it seems longer because it grew out of the DTF, where I was intermittently active before ATF.

Apparently I joined in 2012 but I didn't start collecting extant animals until 2019. Wasn't an active member till then either. That's when the blog was launched, that's what did it. For some reason I thought the forum was younger than it is.

Well, it doesn't feel like yesterday, but it also doesn't feel like 12 years ago! If I'd guessed without knowing I might've said 7 or 8 years ago. I still remember making the decision. I was a few months into my job as a curator at the Nottingham Natural History Museum, which also means I've been there 12 years too! It feels like I set up the ATB 2 or 3 years ago but it's already 5 years old. I think the Covid years have messed up my concept of time passing.

I agree, in my mind the ATF was launched around 2016, funny how we landed on the same time period. Covid has definitely messed up my perception of time and I blame the political situation here in the United States too.
