I've missed you buddy! We need to catch up some time!

That's awesome.

Plus, it reminds me that I really want to see more aquatic reptiles in JPIV. *crosses fingers*

I'll just leave this here...

Thanks. I've only had that banner in my room for, oh, 16 years or so.

Yeah, the Papo's look great in a static pose, but you can't beat something that has the best of both worlds. You would have a blast with the Rex. The tail is a metal wire encased in rubber (I don't know the actual materials), so the tail is poseable without having more than one joint (where the tail meets the hips). I don't recall if you're a huge Bayformers fan or not, but if you like Optimus' design, that Revoltech (or the soon-to-be-released Jetpack version) is a must. Absolutely phenomenal.

I've uploaded a few photos comparing the figures. This gave me a good excuse to clear all of the clutter off my desk and clean it. I apologize that Optimus isn't in more dynamic poses, but I just got in a static standing position that I like, and if I pose him out of that position, I'll never be able to get him back. Once I get the Jetpack Revoltech Optimus, that one will be for super awesome poses.

And yes, that is a dinosaur banner running all around my room in the background.

I'll probably snap some pictures in the next few days and upload to Photobucket. I'll give you a shout when I do.

Ah yes, the dreaded wallet scenario.

Yeah, if you ever get a chance/have some extra cash, I do recommend it. It's not essential, but it's pretty cool. (I have mine standing next to Revoltech DotM Optimus and they're almost in scale. )

My bro. That is sick!

Do you happen to own that Revoltech yourself? If not, I highly recommend it. It's awesome.

Yeah, I'd like that. Definitely keep me in the loop.

I love looking at dioramas. That's one of the reasons I used to always keep the cardboard box backs from the boxes that the figures came in, because they always had those sweet-@$$ professional dioramas with figures, accessories, moss, etc.. Just fantastic.

Also, I plan on getting the Revoltech JP Tyrannosaurus Rex. It looks so awesome!

And then of course I spent the next 17+ years of my life collecting dinosaur books and toys and movies and basically just living dinosaurs. Needless to say, like you, it completely changed my life.

Those darn toys. We keep getting older and they just stay the sa- Wait. No. They keep getting more expensive.

Do you do dioramas at all, by chance? Or have your collection shown online or something?
