A lot of creature kits are resin releases so finding something you like may be a challenge. Please post your sources for kits in this thread for those wishing to enter.

I'll kick it off with some of the best Dinosaur sculptors and retailers :
Rader Studios
Cretaceous Creations of America
Creative Beast
Cliff Green Studios
Charlie McGrady Studios
Paleocraft
The Alchemy Works
Link and Pin Hobbies
Dans Dinosaurs
The first 3 are by far the best of them all but you can also get a lot of older, rarer stuff from Link and Pin. Dans Dinosaurs also has a lot of everything so they are also worth a look.
And for taxidermy eyes, try

There are some damn fine kits out there from producers such as:
Forbidden Zone
X-O Facto
Resin Realities
Spiderzero
Filmy - Only one kit, but hey....
The list goes on and on. Figures are what I normally do, so if you need help in finding a particular kit, just drop me a PM and I will do what I can to point you in the right direction.

Your Croc Jones ( and pretty much all the rest ) is the stuff of paint legend.
This place kicks butt for selection of creatures and other stuff. I recommend it. Fast shipping.They were cool too.

Bare with the site. You kind of just have to look through each letter alphabetically to find the cool stuff but it's worth it.
This T Rex is probably the coolest I've ever seen.

I got this guy as a gift for my last B day. It's sitting in my closet calling for me to build it.The detail is awesome but a little bit brittle with the blue resin,and it is HUGE!

I won't be able to resist robots for long but this contest is going to be fun I think. Thanks Mike!
