OK, here is My 4th update to My Dinosaur collection. Now, this time we are going down a different pathway than usual. I had mentioned about Prehistoric animals. Well, today I am featuring three different species from three different time periods, the Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic and all are made by Safari. If you are not familiar with them, they are a top prehistoria & wild life figure company. When I was heavily into Dinosaurs in the 2000s, arguably more than anything, I was collecting this type and that set left & right. My favorite kind however as you have seen previously to this showcase is the Japanese Dino figures. Oh but wait, the USA has some great ones as well. When I was keeping up with upcoming figures from various companies, I just fell in love with these three versions by Safari. With offerings from companies like these that weren't actually part of a set, I could cherry-pick (something I don't like doing but sometimes I do) because I want variety and stuff that I never had before. So, these were so ideal for Me. These were released in the late 2000s and pretty cheap at around $10 a pop. I will provide a short commentary and My thoughts of these species so without further-a-do, here they are!
Dunkleosteus, Oviraptor and the Dodo Bird! Dunkleosteus: It's name means "Dunkle's bone", this fish was armored and dominated the oceans all over Pangaea 358 MYA of the late Devonian period of the final eras of the Paleozoic. It was a massive hunter, as wide as a car and long as semi-trailer truck. Its head was completely made of bone. I think that Safari really nailed this figure. The sculpting is just tremendous and really shows what a devastating mouth this marine predator had. The paint is good and the color scheme itself maybe questionable but looks realistic none the less. I have always loved this specie. He includes a small booklet that is tied to him.
