The Esoteric Science Resource Center

Earlier in the week, greygirlbeast and I got into a very friendly discussion on the merits of our various dinosaur figure collections: she's young enough to be my daughter, but she's already got a collection that would make me jealous if I hadn't already matched it. Of course, I've been picking up dinosaur figures since 1971, so I'm slightly ahead of the game. Even more importantly, after decades of dull dinosaur figures, we suddenly saw an explosion in the quantity and the quality of prehistoric animal figures, particularly in the fact that it's possible to find critter figures that aren't dinosaurs. (And before anyone asks, the Czarina neither has interest in hanging onto the figures nor going to the effort of researching their value for sale, so when I finally get sent back to Hell, Caitlin is getting the whole lot in my will. You've got to take care of your friends.)

The three authors of the Dinosaur Toy Blog understand our plight all too well, as they're taking the time to review a truly staggering number of interesting palaeo figures from various manufacturers. It even reviews figures of the magic Liopleurodon that'll show us te way to Candy Mountain. Life is good, and I just hope that they aren't having conversations behind our backs.
