“Boki, Very interesting I have never seen the Salvat before. Are they still in production? I would love to get some. I run the dinosurCollector site. I am also from Seattle orginally, small world.  ”

“THE RANDY KNOL? Wow! I am a big fan of your dinosaur collector site! The Salvat figures is from Portugal, I don't know much about them at all. Someone from the dinosaur toy forum, a lovely site, spotted them on ebay and posted the link. I won a few of them as pictured. I believe there were 47 figures total that was produced. I don't think the figures were ever sold outside of Portugal since no one seems to know anything about them. I wonder if Mike from Prehistoric Times know about them. I had to wait 2 weeks for my figure to get here from Portugal. I checked the site the used to have the list but it's not there anymore. Could be out of production. Very curious and odd figures and company indeed. I will let you know if I find that site again and email you the link. ”

“yes it is me. I will drop Mike a line I have already sent out some emails to friends in Europe. Great presentation. I am enjoying the pictures. Randy ”

“Hello Boki, Randy has put me in touch with your site today. I had never heard of the Salvat range so that is most interesting to me as well. You will no doubt cause a feeding frenzy amongst dinosaur collectors for these models! Thank you for the nice remarks about the Procon/Collecta range. I have tried to make the series as unusual as possible. Some models turn out better than others but as moulds decay so it gives us a chance to redesign any that we are not ultimately pleased with. There were 6 original dinosaurs before I got involved. The brachiosaurus mould is now wearing out and will be replaced by a more accurate version in a similar pose. This will be a replacement not a new number in the catalogue, so you should buy an example of the first one soon if you want it. Also parasaurolophus will shortly be issued in more sensible colours than the somewhat startling model currently available, so that will become a collector's item. All good wishes. Anthony Beeson ”

“Wow! Anthony Beeson of Procon? I am so honored to have you and Randy look at my collection! By the way, I am a great fan of the procon Line of dinosaurs! It's refreshing to see someone making unusual and very cool looking dinosaur figures instead of the same old crowd! I really love the Agustinia, It's my favorite from the series. I hope Procon will make more prehistoric marine reptiles, more sauropods (in the deluxe version), and maybe, just maybe branch out to include some prehistoric mammals? Oh, that would be a dream! No one makes Prehistoric mammals anymore, most line either discontinued or no longer making new ones. Wow, if Procon can do to prehistoric mammals figures what you guys did with dinosaurs, that would be really awesome! Just thought I share it with yah! Looking forward to next years releases! Thanks you again. I hope yo had a chance to see the Procon deluxe in my diorama page. ”
