Kaiyodo etal updated 072004
Kaiyodo is well known for high quality models of Dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals the release of the UHA premium series has made the company much more accessible for the collector. Araki Kazunari is the best known paleoartist associated with Kaiyodo and seems to have been responsible for most if not all the figure from these releases. These are expensive running from $40 to several hundred per figure. They are not toy figures and are not normally included in my the toy collectable category but I do have a few in the dioramas. They are very good. Many of these models can come assembled and painted for a few extra dollars.

These are the among the first Kaiyodo models sold in the US and were not that highly regarded because of their low quality control. They were cast in solid resin. The following list only represents the figures I have collected not the full range.
