New online store! In Canada! Fauna Figures Toys & Collectables!

[sbell]

I just realized, as I'm messing with my site, that I hadn't updated here for bit.

So, a few changes since then.

1) The Asilisaurus by @brandem is in store now (a while now, actually)! It's pretty cool, and kind of nice to have a pre-dinosaur model



2) Due to varying circumstances, I am scaling back what I can do. CoG are just too much for what I can invest, so I'm going to be sticking to small brands like Southlands (I'll have that Diprotodon as soon as I can, for example) as well as the models being done with Branden. Details here

3) For the next few days (until the end of the 27th, if the site works right ) anything not already on a clearance-price is also discounted. Did I mention the Asilisaurus? Yup, it's included (and very limited in stock). Same with the bichir. It's only good for current inventory, can't do rainchecks or backorders. Details here

Cheers!

I though i'd Add on here photos for a protosphyraena that I'm working on that Sean will eventually have available.

The figure will have a finish that gives it a very 'wet' appearance

@sbell Did you say that you are winding down the FaunaFigures store? If so, what will become of the site – blog only? Also, do you have comments disabled on the blog?

Hey @animaltoyforum I will probably close the store part this year.
I will carry on the blog though. And I do have comments disabled... I just don't want to deal with that...!

Sorry to hear about the store closing, but glad the site will still remain. I was going to comment on one of your blog articles, that's why I asked about comments.

I've considered comments. But I just don't want to deal with the policing.

I'd forgotten about this thread!

Might as well update that FaunaFigures.com will be closing down.

But the blog will live on as a sub-site on the Animal Toy Blog! (Here: https://animaltoyforum.com/faunafigures/)

Ha, I forgot about this thread too, and I have even contributed!

I notice I was asking about comments on the blog. Incidentally, on the current iteration of the site comments are enabled (but need to be approved).

I think it would be a good idea to use this thread to share selected Fauna Figures posts. I discovered interesting posts I had missed at the time when we were migrating the blog, and I bet I'm not the only one. I can pick some out, and also on the DTF for the prehistoric content.

Sure! I never allowed comments... whenever they got through it was always spam.

I had thought I had a post/thread on here and DTF but I guess not.

I notice your original domain has lapsed now and the site has reverted to a free wordpress site. I also see you've unpublished all the content except for a new post redirecting visitors to the new site, that's good. It's a shame a free Wordpress site doesn't allow you to set up an auto-redirect. But maybe you can put the link directly on the front page and/or as a link in the menu?

I'll have to play with it a bit. The domain will expire soon anyway, and then it's gone

Will the free wordpress dot com address actually expire? It might just stick around indefinitely, I'm trying to remember what happened to the original Dinosaur Toy Blog, which was also a free Wordpress hosted site until I set up the current dinotoyblog domain.

Not sure. I won't be paying for the domain, so hard to say

I must've deleted the original DinoToyBlog, here's where it used to be: https://dinotoyblog.wordpress.com I deleted it because it continued to come up in search results, even with the content unpublished, so it was essentially competing for clicks with the new site!
