The first HC dino I ever picked up and still probably my favourite. Though to be fair, I am biased since it is my favourite dinosaur of the whole franchise. The figure is great, poses well, is easy to balance, and while not 100% accurate to the movie design it looks fantastic and captures the essence well. A 10/10 in my eyes. I love it so much!!!
My first model kit that isn't an Evangelion. It's great! A very fun build that's somewhat challenging due to the small pieces and moving parts, but far from too much. While it's an older kit it still holds up well, from the building experience at least. Reading up on it online, apperently the joints don't hold up over time when they get moved too much. I myself essentially just built it, played around with it a bit and then pöut it in a pose I liked and stood it on my shelf, so I haven't had any problems at all with it yet. Despite the problems it could have down the line, I love this thing. It looks fantastic, the build it fun, and it's far from expensive (I got it for 32€ which seems fair). I highly recomend it
A lucky find! I had seen onlyine that people are really struggling to find older figures for good prices, so imaging my surprise when I came across this guy in a regular store for normal retail price. They had two actually, so I hope someone else had that same happy experience I did when finding it. The figure itself is great. One of the older HC figures, but you wouldn't notice. The colours are fantastic and the dinosaur looks like it jumped right out of the screen. I'm really happy I found this guy
My third ever model kit and... it's and evangelion. If I'm being honest, these kits are all pretty similar, though that makes the differences all the more noticable. Mark 6 is a bit taller due to an extra segment in the chest, the shoulder pilons are are different, and it had the halo and the spear, which really complete the look. Mark 6 is my favourite design in the franchise, so of course I love this pretty much perfect recreation of it. The multicoloured part in the heat is also really impressive and the more model kits I build the more I can appreciate it. Building it is really fun and if you can find it for a good price I'd really recommend it. Finally this fantastic the design can get the spotlight it was denyed in the movies
Look at them headbutting! A very fun little figure. Why do I have two? Bought one myself and got the other as a gift. These were really easy to find here and really cheap, even going on sale sometimes. If you can still find it for retail price, pick it up! It looks great, if a bit inaccurate, poses really well despite the head looking big enough to make it fall over, and it's just really cute :)
My first High Grade kit after only ever building Real Grades. It looks great, poses well and is a fun and decently quick build. This is also the first time I decided to put on all the stickers. I feel like they make Real Grades lokk a bit too busy, but here they add a lot of nice and sometimes even needed detail to the figure. Putting them on was actually kind of fun and make the kit look a lot better than it would otherwise. I also made it fly (the stand is not included but came with another Gyan kit) and it looks fantastic. A recommendation for both beginners but also more experienced builders who are looking for something simpler
Mean looking little guys. I really like the pose I put them in here. One is on the hunt while the other is doing its best meerkat impression, putting its head up high to keep a lookout. These where easy to get and I still see them at stores even though they are already out of production as far as I know. Get it if you can. I get that it's not a movie design or based on anything really, but these little guys are great. Look great, pose great, everything about them is just great
While small, this is an absolutely beautiful looking kit and one of my favourite gundam designs ever (I haven't even seen the show it's from). It also pairs up really well with the Suletta next to it. The build is fun and quick, colour seperation is fantastic, only lacking a bit on the bits, and the sticker options allow you to choose which version to build. The pre molded chest pieces are also fantastic and look beautiful. I also really love the effect piece for the beam rifle. This kit is all around fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone, experienced or not, fan of the show or not. By far my favourite kit as of right now
He seems to be curious looking at Haro like that. I know a lot of people don't really like this design from the movie, and it was never one of my favourites either, but this figure convinced me. This guy looks great and might just be one of the most accurate HC figures we've gotten so far. I feel like I like it better than the regular Veloceraptors even (except the JP3 ones, cause those can't be beaten)
While I haven't seen the show yet I fell in love with her design when I randomly came across her in a store. It had made me curious about how different building a more directly human model kit would be compared to the mechs I was used to, and I'm happy to say that it was a great experience. It felt familiar but still different and was very fun. My favourite part were surprisingly the stickers. This kit came with regular ones but also rub on stickers, which I loved. For those who don't know, rub on stickers work by peeling them off their paper, placing them where you want them to go, and them rubbung on the from to (I guess) activate the glue and seperate them from their plastic. These look great, even have a bit of depth when you touch them, and they have almost no border around them, which makes them look even better. The kit also came with water slide decals and it was my first time trying those. They are fun and work great. My only complaint is that you only get two blank faces and why more decals to use on them. It's way too hard to decide which you want. The inclusion of Haro does make up for it though
One of the newer Dinos in the series which I've never seen in any store and I'm not sure it's even available in my country. This one I got as a cristmas gift and I like it a lot. This little guy never actually shows up in the movies but instead comes from the books, and I like that this toy line is taking from those. Now, does this thing look like it was described in the book? No, not really. But I don't mind, and I'm glad to get some more niche species instead of just the big ones (not saying that I don't like those)
Spotted randomly in a store and I love this guy. A great representation of one of my favourite designes from the recent movies and got me more interested in the actual animal. The size of this figure is fantastic too, giving it great shelf presence and allowing it to stand out on my way too busy desplay here. Such a beauty :)
My first ever model kit, and what an introduction it was. I'd like to start by saying that I would highly recommend this thing. It's a reat representation of the movie design, can pose up a storm and has so many great details like armor plating on the chest shifting when you move the arms or the thighs bulging when you bend the knees. Now admittedly, the knees have gotten a bit lose over the years, mainly because I posed this guy a lot in all that time. That being said, the problem is just two parts slightly seperating and it works fine once you squeez those together again. Definately a chalanging first kit but still fantastic and I'm glad it was my first
Look; Evangelion Unit 2 has never been a design I was a big fan of... buuuuut... this version slaps! I love the patched up look, and especially how it appears in the movie. This figure, pricy as it was to get, is brilliant and while the design looks bulky and clunky, it poses really well and comes with enough extra bits and accessories to make use of that
Unit 13 rivals the Mark 6 as my favourite Evangelion design, and this figure is a perfect representation of it. It poses beautifully and the included stand, two lances and spear allow you to recreate all the best scenes from the movies. Despite it being in the background here it is an apsolute centerpiece of any collection, including this one
I have to thank my boyfriend for getting me this for christmas. This massive dino forced me to resort my shelf and expand into the top one, and it deserves it. While the Giganotosaurus design from the movie was never one of my favourites this figure made it grow on me. It demands presence and attention in the best way possible. I'm forever greatful for this. And to my boyfriend: I love you :3
The moment I finished building this guy I sat him on top of the Giga and it will stay there forever. Looking at it sitting there makes me unreasonably happy and I'm glad to have it right next to my desk. A fun build that results in a design that didn't have me convinced until I held it in my hand and got to pose it myself. It has a nice size and those weapons make sure you notice it anywhere. And it makes for a nice, way out of scale battle display that makes me smile every day. I'd highly recommend it, even if it relies on stickers for all those great golden details
I've seen way too many people online complain about this figure. "It's not big enough." "The colours are too vibrant." "The back doesn't have the right shape." etc. I, personally, don't care about all that and am just really happy to have this little ceratopsian in my collection. While it looks a bit like a brick it actually poses well and does everything you'd want it to. While I can't find this guy anywhere here it is really worth getting if you ever spot it out in the wild
A cheap simply evangelion model kit. While bigger than the Real Grades it doesn't compete with their posability and build experience (not to say that it's bad). However, it looks great and represence one of my favourite moments from this franchise. It's also one of the only evangelion merch I've ever seen in a local store which makes it special by default
A species from the Jurassic Park books and technically the first ever 1:1 scale figure in the line. Back when the second book was written only an infant specemin was known and was thought to be an adult. The book describes Mussaurus to be about the size of a mouse, so this figure is really accurate to that. While the rest of the design isn't too acurate to the book (though it doesn't really get a proper description anyway) the figure looks great and the newly introduces swapable parts from this wave give it a lot more posability options, allowing it to be bi- or quadrupedal. Thank you for letting me nerd here real quick
One of the best HC figures out there both in looks and posability. Here he can finally face his real life greatest foe which it was denied in the movies so far. An easy recommendation and more than worth the retail price
LOOK AT THIS ADORABLE LITTLE GUY!!! The only one I ordered online myself when I found it for retail price on a store site. This thing is the best. Really cute, posable, and cute, and looks great, and is the absolute cutest. How could you not want him. He's the best :)
The classic Stego. This fifure is great, if a bit back heavy due to the massiv rubber tail weighing it down. Still, it looks and poses great and is in my eyes basically a perfect recreation of the movie model (specifically The Lost World sind Jurassic Worlds Stegos look notably different). Here it can finally face the Allosaurus as nature intended and the two look great togerther. I still see this guy warming shelfs in my local store, which makes me a bit sad, since they are great and deserve to be loved and played with
"How did I end up here with all these dinosaurs?" This kit was great fun to build and comes with so many extra bits like an alternate outfit, parts to get her into a handstand, a Haro with a beany and way more. It's really hard to decide how I want to pose her on the shelf. That being said, some decitions are harder to make than other. She comes with three different faces, two of which are blank and can be customised with water slide decals. The problem is that there are why more sets of eyes than just two, and Amate is such an expressive caracter in the show and it's hard to choose just two of those. Still, this is a fantastic kit and and really fun to build and pose
Why did they make this and why is it so good? This guy just looks way better than he has any right to and I love him. I'ts a really unique species in the HC since it isn't really based on anything. Was never mentioned in the movies, no concept art Never been notable in any games. The closest I can find is that it was in the old Kenner toyline, but that would still make it an odd inclusion. Still, this guy is genuenly great figure
Are these at all accurate to the movie? Not really. The pattern is really off, the hands are a bit oddly shaped and the while I don't have this issue on either of mine, many eople complain about the figures having an underbite. Still, these two have been in my collection for a while now and and I love the vibe they bring. While not accurate they still look good and pose well, and finally we have a Veloceraptor figure without huge feet (I get that it makes standing them up easier but they just look funny). Over all, grab them if you can look past the little inacuracies
It looks a little upset screaming like that. Tbh, I haven't been able to get the mouth piece out to swap it with the closed one yet, and believe me, I've tried. I'm just a little too afraid to break something. The closed mouth would look much better though. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of this design. I don't think it's bad, but compared to the model from the Jurassic World Evolution games this guy is pretty ugly. Still, I like it and am happy to have it on my shelf
My second Evangelion model kit and it is admittedly very similar to the first. Unit 0 has the advantage if coming with otional parts so you can choose to recreate its first apperance from the movies or the later one (lack of shoulder pilons and differen chest). Since this is the deluxe version it also came with the big gun that sits on the bottom shelf beneath the Giga. Over all, building this was still great fun and results in a great figure
Another Gundam from another show I haven't seen. This one just looks really cool and that's the only reason I got it tbh. Building this thing was really fun and I was smiling the whole time I worked on it. And yes, I do know That I mixed the two versions since that left arm shouldn't go with those shoulder pads, but I just thought it looked cooler this way. Now, I've heard that the joints on this guy don't hold up too well over time, though since I don't plan to move it too much I'm a little less woried about that. The kit does rely on stikers quite a bit to make it colour accurate but I found applying them to be pretty easy and they look great once their on, so I don't mind too much. The finished kit is everything I wanted and I'm incredably happy to have it on my shelf
