Dinosaur Photography Questions

Hello everybody!

So as the weather starts to warm up near where I live, I’m getting ready to start taking photos of my HC Dinosaur collection in the outdoors. I did have some questions though to anybody who has done Dino photography outside before?

  1. If I ever take photos at beaches, do I ever need to worry about sand getting stuck between the joints of the figures’ limbs?

  2. Will putting them in water affect them in any way? And does it matter if it’s fresh or salt water?

  3. Taking photos outside means that my figures are obviously gonna get dirty. How should I go about cleaning them afterward?

Any advice on what I should do is greatly appreciated. ^_^

Carnotaurus vs Sinoceratops

Hello everybody!

I recently managed to acquire a Nanmu Carnotaurus on Mercari. Main reason being it scales perfectly well with the HC Sinoceratops, enabling me to recreate the fight scene between the two in Fallen Kingdom.

I’ll likely take more pics later this month or next of them outside to better capture the setting of the scene. But I really think I nailed the posing.

Hope you enjoy!

Dilophosaurus Tail Repair

Hello everybody!

This is the tail from one of my HC Dilos. I just took it out of its packaging for the first time and the joint wasn’t inserted for some bizarre reason. Making connecting it with the tail by normal means next to impossible.

Does anybody know if it’s at all fixable? Like is there any way I can just pop the joint into the tail?

Hello everybody!

Now this is a post I never imagined myself making. So I’ve acquired quite the collection of JP/JW Dinosaurs (from various toylines, not just Hammond Collection) for quite a while now. And now that things have started to get warmer, I’m just about ready to start taking pictures of my collection outside.

However, I do have one small issue, one I guess I overlooked since I primarily cared about getting all the dinosaurs that I’ll need. Now something I desire to do with my collection is to recreate various scenes from the films. I know for a fact that I’ve got plenty of Dinosaurs to do so. But not so much human characters. I’ve collected figures of a majority of the human cast from the films. Though I still need a few more.

Donald Gennaro (I know he’s in an HC SDCC exclusive, but has been released in anything else?), Eddie Carr, Peter Ludlowe, Franklin Webb (I know a figure of him was planned for release in the Fallen Kingdom toyline, but was cancelled), and some generics such park workers and mercenaries from the various films.

Does anybody know if figures of any of these characters have been made? It doesn’t matter if any of them aren’t in the Hammond Collection, they can be from the Kenner, Hasbro, or Mattel toylines for all I care. So long as they exist, I’m content with that. If anybody here knows anything, please let me know what toylines any of these characters exist in the comments below. Thanks so much.
