Last thread: >> who knows anymore.Well here we are Mattel finally dropping an Allosaurus and Nanmu Dropped the V-rex. Creative Beast Studio Dropped more and more pics of upcoming Kickstarter for Prehistoric Elephants. Papo has the exciting Suchomimis
Mattel: BasedNanmu: Mega basedCreative Beast Studio: Bleh
>>11131240God I wish Mattel made accurate dinosaurs instead of JW slop, I would drop BOTM like a hot fucking rock
>>11131295Not a fan of the skull shape, but everything else looks really good
>>11131297The skull looks more like a torvosaurus than an allosaurus. It's long like allosaurus jimmadseni but too boxy
I bought a cheap Rebor recently and I'm fucking HOOKED. I got the Nanmu Buck Alpha 2.0 and an Obsidian King, and I pre-ordered the V-Rex. FUCK, now if only Nanmu made a Deviljho...
>>11131496Nanmu ain't touching Monster Hunter with a 10-foot poll unless they are able to secure the license legally. Mattel actively doesn't give a shit about the market outside of the United States and maybe Japan so there's not much of a threat of them going after Nanmu because of the license and Universal is genuinely retarded when it comes to IP stuff. Capcom and Bandai 100% won't tolerate infringement on the Monster Hunter IP. If you want the Tooth Pickle, then you're gonna have to wait for the inevitable $130 Monsterarts.
>>11131560How's Tigrex? I wanted him but I'm thinking of picking up Blue Eyes first since that seems like a much better figure.
>>11131597>How's Tigrex?He's great. Easily, my favorite of the Monster Hunter figures from SHMA. I do wish that he came with a unique stand/base like all of the previous MonHun figures, but I can live with using a normal stand to have him in a leaping pose.
>>11131601
>>11131602
Got my Pyroraptor in, and she's pretty great - basically a BotM raptor figure that can actually stand on her own. Wasn't expecting her eyes to be basically clear marbles with a painted pupil on them, creating some cool light-piping effects from certain angles (though not out through the other side. Looks like each eye is a separate piece set into its own eyesocket.She actually scales pretty realistically with the BotM Zuniceratops, which is neat.
>>11131629Wish the head didnt look ugly as sin, but at least they fixed the teeth going back behind the fenestra that the movie had.In other news, a new Elephant dropped.I have basically zero interest the the mammoth, but once there enough backers to open up the next teir, I will absolutely grab this guy and the gomphotherium.
>>11131312looks like a barry larping as an allo to me.
feels kinda weird getting a baby mammoth and a Bull mammoth, but not a cow.
>>11132528I mean..what's he supposed to do? His beloved wife died while giving birth to his son. Whom he now has to defend from a pack of hunters on their way to them now...Don't feel bad... feel happy;_;
>>11131295it really is an improvement but I'm still annoyed at the top jaw, they keep giving it more range than the bottom one. also his body is still on the WIDE side>>11132045looks breddy gud. guess there wasn't much to fuck up with that color scheme

>>11134033Wait, they're making a fourth one? Can't they just let it die already? Where can they possibly go with the story at this point?
>>11134070>Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.>Experienced covert operations expert Zora Bennett is contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world's three most massive dinosaurs. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic reptiles, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that's been hidden from the world for decades.They had to retcon Dominion's ending of the dinosaurs taking over lmao
>>11134070every movie in the JW trilogy made a billion dollars, there was never a change Universal would let the IP die, when it's one of their few franchises that is in a very healthy state.
>>11134033So basically just a bunch of repaints because Mattel doesn't have enough time to make new sculpts because this movie is being rushed to release in less than a year?
>>11134099I was stunned at this. They spend 3 movies to establish a legitimately cool and relatively unique setting with tons of possibilities- a modern world with dinosaurs in it, which could at any time transition into a post apocalyptic world overtaken by dinosaurs in another trilogy- and instead IMMEDIATELY retcon it into the same fucking dinosaurs on an island bullshit as always. The Malta sequence was one of the best Jurassic scenes, and by extension best dinosaur scenes, in all of movies. Nope, no more of that, just another TLW/JP3/Half of Fallen Kingdom/Half of Dominion dinosaurs in a jungle island setting bullshit.
>>11134619Given enough time, nearly every movie series that gets too deep with the number of installments tries desperately to return to the earlier installments. This really just sounds like they're trying to do The Lost World again, with a few sprinkles of the later movies here and there.
>>11134033>Large Dinos:>JW4 Villain DinoHow do we stop hollywood?
>>11134619>>11134628>at the end of the movie one of the characters gets the bright idea to round up all remaining dinosaurs in the world and put them into a big island park to keep them safe
How is Mattel so good at dinos but all their other stuff is kinda meh?
Anyone know anything about the Nanmu studios dinosaurs? They pretty good quality?
>>11134988Economy of scale. More sales, more budget.
>>11135841Tell that to McFart...
>>11135053They're really damn good, I mean I only have two (JP Rex and JP2 Buck) but they're so on model, probably the most accurately sculpted ones currently on the market. Figures have great paint and great posing so they look very alive and the paint is really well blended? I mean the colors flow and fade very naturally, personally love how they do eyes and the inside of the mouth. The figures have a good heft too. Don't own any smart series figures though if that's what you were asking.
Any of you fucks preorder this dude?
>>11136286rip off
>>11136287Are the jaws articulated?
>>11136291no there are separate heads
>>11136286I preordered the bootleg dinorider version
>>11136315picrel>>11136287more of a ripoff is buying >$150 worth of Marvel Legends figures to get that Smilodon
>>11136319you literally just reminded me of that. any word when they will release?
>>11136319Whats the bootleg version, homes?
Dinosaurs!
>>11131275David makes amazing sculpts but really needs to learn how to fade paints and simplify color schemes
>>11131601What is that tiny creature under the skull crawler?
>>11132528The paint job looks good here, i'll wait for people to get theirs to see if they look better in person than in the initial photos
>>11136329>more of a ripoff is buying >$150 worth of Marvel Legends figures to get that Smilodon.I sold all the figs for a profit
>>11134033>JW4 Villain DinoI fucking hate Jurassic World so much
>>11136366>"profit" eaten up by time spent hunting for the figs, packing time, ebay fees, gas cost NOT WORTH IT. Better just to get the Smilodon nigger.
>>11136286I preordered the Dinorider version. I'll probably get the standard version and the melanistic version eventually so that I can have a pride of them. Though maybe I'll wait to build a pride for the 1/18 smilodons since that's the scale I actually care about.>>11136287I'm all for shitting of Silva's utter failure to fix the constant issue with his paint apps, but the Smilodon ain't even remotely a ripoff when you have to spend $150 for a significantly worse quality Hasbro figure. It's perfectly in line with pricing for other 1/12 lines like the Four Horsemen stuff. >>11136291>>11136315They are separate heads, and both were supposed to be static like what Super7 does with their Godzilla line, but people complained enough to force David to make one of the heads articulated. One of the few times, the never-ending toxic positivity of the people who collect the line took a break and told him that at least one of the heads needed to have articulation.>>11136359That's the two-legged lizard from the 1933 Kong and from the stop-motion recreation of the lost pit scene that Peter Jackson filmed for the 2005 remake. It came as one of the accessories for the NECA jungle King Kong along with a pteranodon that is too small and a log.
>>11136373>profit" eaten up by time spent hunting for the figs, packing time, ebay fees, gas cost I ordered them all off Amazon retard cope
>>11136387>I'll probably get the standard version and the melanistic version eventually so that I can have a pride of them. Though maybe I'll wait to build a pride for the 1/18 smilodons since that's the scale I actually care about. jfc your pathetic

>>11136638>what are you seething about?>seethingsomeone is seething and it's not me anon
>>11136876What was Papo smoking with this?Even if their stuff is inaccurate, they can still look appealing, like their T.rexes and their Allosaurus and stuff, but this is just ugly.
A 3rd little babu for Hammond Collection
>>11136901I'm not poor, so I'm happy to buy figures that I like, so again, I'll ask what are you seething?
>>11136955>baby trike has more articulation than the adultPlease for the love of God Mattel, redo the Adult Trike, or better yet give us a larger Lost World Trike.
I don’t have a Spinosaurus and it’s one of my favorite dinosaurs, how is this one?
>>11136332this one >>11136387, its a decent homage to the toy that infamously killed dinoriders. Have to wonder why he picked that one of all of them to put in those colors.
>>11137333>Have to wonder why he picked that one of all of them to put in those colorsProbably because both the Pachycephalosaurus and Stegosaurus were pulled from the Kickstarter because David fell massively behind in sculpting, even with the help of people he'd hired to assist in sculpting. I suppose he could have done Styracosaurus, but it already has one (two really) variants and probably wouldn't have been a good draw for the Kickstarter. Maybe he could have done a repaint of the Andrewsarchus in the scheme of the Killer Wart Hog, but for some reason, he pulled the Andrewsarchus even though it was finished. The mammoth obviously wasn't going to be an option, since it's the centerpiece of his new Kickstarter.
>>11136943I got one because i found it ugly/cute like a pug
>>11137015Its amazing
>>11131240my fellow /toy/ anons I seek guidance about pricing some old kenner JP figures I'm selling in south americaall the figures are loose without the box but not damaged, a few of them show a little wear due to age and some are incomplete. here is the breakdown:>https://www.jurassic-pedia.com/toys/lwtoys/ian.jpgcomplete but the baby t-rex color has become darker>https://www.jurassic-pedia.com/toys/lwtoys/eddie.jpgweapon missing>https://www.jurassic-pedia.com/toys/lwtoys/nick.jpgcomplete>https://www.jurassic-pedia.com/toys/lwtoys/roland.jpgonly the knife is missing>https://www.jurassic-pedia.com/toys/lwtoys/pachy.jpgcompleteI could provide pics If someone can give his opinion about it. I'm currently selling them for $75 (US dollarinos)
>>11131295(((accurate dinosaurs)))?You mean Chinese bone molds?
>>11137526Last time I checked, the Morrison Formation was in the United States not China. Or are you implying that either Othniel Marsh or the guy that discovered Big Al were time traveling Chinese dudes?
I wonder if there will be more announced when the kickstarter goes live, or if David is only doing 5 figures. I supposed it's probably a good idea to go more smaller scale with these mammals since the probably wont sell as well as dinosaurs, but I expected there to be at least one other big elephant
>>11136876delet this
>>11137671Nope, David said Eons set the The species at 5 not sure what the 5th one is, but he would have done more if he was running it but Eons is hoping that the collaboration will include future projects.
>>11137015>zombie spinoit's a fun one if you're into those gimmicks. if not just wait until they do a hammond collection. regular line spinos have weird proportions, remind me of short spine syndrome dogs>>11136955looks cute aside from the slit pupil and that stupid mouth joint
>>11137982Oh yeah I would definitely go for the Hammond collection I wonder when that’ll be out
>>11138056people have been begging for it, so next year maybe? there's a good chance he'll show up on rebirth too
>>11136955>40 dinos later they're finally figuring out how to make eyes that look about as good as dino riders did 35 years ago and their own imaginext line has been doing for 7 years
David and the people at Eons are Delusional if they think the Mammoth and baby alone are gonna reach $185k
>>11138145Next year is Jurassic World's 10 year anniversary and the release of Rebirth. Unlrss Spinosaurus features prominently in Rebirth then it's very unlikely to be the Hammond Collection big dinosaur of the year.
>>11138663It's made $30k so far, so hopefully it'll be able to make it, but it does seem like a pretty big buy-in before they unlock any of the other proboscideans.
>>11138663>Creative Beast starts a new crowdfund>"Oh man, they'll NEVER make enough money!">every advertised prototype is manufactured and eventually soldWe do this song and dance every single fucking time. How many campaigns has this company done now, four? Five?!?! I'll concede it's not gonna do half-a-milly in under a month like Cyberzoic or the Tyrannosaurs, but you are dumb as a goddamn rock if you think we won't be at well over 200k by the end of the campaign. FOMO on the snowy variant alone is going to generate most of the revenue, and every new toy that gets unlocked is going to contribute another 3-5K almost Instantly due to completionist richfags.
>>11137907My money is on Deinotherium or a Mastodon. The latter is more iconic as far as ancient probos go, but the former has the 'strange-looking elephant relative' gimmick that Gomphotherium brings while also being a decently well-known member of the family.
>>11139243I wouldn't be so sure. Mammoths killed dinoriders and if we're lucky maybe they can kill this too. When creative beast started they were riding the lone high of being the only company making articulated dinos at the time, with the previous options being quite sparse on the aftermarket. Now we have a wealth of readily available stuff from Mattel and actual good things coming from china companies, and Creative Beast has done nothing but fuck up almost every release they've ever had. I'm barely happy with any of it, and I've heard similar sentiments from many others.
>>11139103It looks good here too, i guess the first photo didn't do it any favours then
>>11139243>FOMO on the snowy variant alone is going to generate most of the revenueThat's not really a good thing. If you divide the current amount raised and the number of backers it comes out to an average of about $203 being spent per backer. Most people are either buying the single Mammoth or the Snowy Variant (what I got) they aren't really spending the $460 to buy both which is what needs to start happening. I'm sure it'll fund, but if it continues the trend of bleeding backers like Cyberzoic did after the Tyrannosaur line then I'm not sure we'll be getting everything. Though honestly, all I care about are Gomphotherium and Platybelodon which are the first two stretch goals, so I'm golden.>>11139338>Deinotherium or a Mastodonmaybe Mastodon is the 4th unlock (though that looks a bit small to be a Mastodon), but it doesn't look like any of the figures are gonna be Deinotherium. >>11139348I don't want them to die, I want them to get better.>>11139385yeah, the Mammoth looks much nicer under natural lighting.
>>11137671>>11139443This is probably just me but the really long midsection without any articulation just looks really awkward.Wouldn't it be better for posing if it was like this?
How's W-Dragon? Are they on Nanmu's level?
>>11139644Le pige :)
>>11140087Is the top graph Cyberzoic?
>>11140174Yep, the Cyberzoic, which lagged in the beginning compared to the Tyrannosaur Kickstarter, made almost 3 times as much money on its opening day and had twice as many backers.
>>11140198>made almost 3 times as much money on its opening day and had twice as many backersWoah... so this is the power of a black guy riding an Allosaurus...
Lads, I know that David said there would be five species in this campaign, but I think he mispoke and intended to say five sculpts. There's been nothing to indicate a brand new animal will be unlocked after Moertherium. I think all the stretch goals are just going to be color variants.
>>11139103I'd pay 50 bucks max for this.hopefully mattel makes a mammoth after this inevitably fails.
>>11140331Dinosaurs sell better than mammals and carnivores always sell better than herbivores, this is a universal truth. It's one of the reasons that Mattel's sauropod figures are crazy because normally you'd never do something so financially risky. >>11140331I'm betting on them being dwarf or 1/35 versions of the existing species. >>11140339>I'd pay 50 bucks max for this.You're delusional. It ain't worth the price tag, but it isn't a $50 figure either. The Mythic Legion's bear that the Mammoth would tower over is $120, the D20 unarmored giant Wolf is $140 and most 1/12 scale horses that aren't the cheap Figma horses are $75. The sculpt and size alone make it a $150 figure. >hopefully Mattel makes a mammothWhy would Mattel make a mammoth? The only Cenozoic animal in the franchise was the Smilodon in CC.
>>11140515>Why would Mattel make a mammoth?it's on the games, so they could do it just like the bunch of literally who dinos that also come from jw the game or evolution
>like the mammoth>dont care for the snowy version>no "deal" to get adult and baby together for like $210I'm conflicted on the whole thing
>>11140515>150 figure. >You're delusional
>>11140515A 1/35th scale adult mammoth would only be about 50% larger than the 1/18th babby, so that could be fun. The problem is that a 1/35th scale Gomp and especially Platy would be too tiny at that point to even bother with.>>11140730Snowy set is cheaper than normal adult+normal baby because they'll (probably) share packaging. Yeah it kind of sucks that you're paying ten extra dollars for the "lesser" version of the toy, but that can just be the nature of the beast sometimes.
>>11140753bunny
>>11140785>tfw 1/6th Nuralagus rex never ever
>>11140548there have only been 2 non-movie creatures in the Hammond Collection, Irritator which was basically an apology for how bad Baryonx >>11140730yeah, it sucks that there isn't a standard color double pack.>>11140734yeah, you're delusional. In no world is a figure with that sculpt, that size, and produced in that limited a quantity $50. There are dozens of examples of large 1/12 animals that are smaller than the mammoth with about as much articulation that are in the $120s. >>11140753going off the silhouettes it looks like all of the "mystery" figures have big mammoth-like tusks, so maybe they're all just repaints of the mammoth, but I do hope that they are in different scales.
>>11140828what's the other non-movie HC?
>>11140829Scutosaurus, it's not out yet but it's got a long history of getting JP figures. There has never been a mammoth figure.
>>11140828>There are dozens of examplesyeah and they are all ridiculously overpriced hunks of plastic too
>>11140828I trust that Cyberzoic II: Desert Clan Boogaloo could provide some elephants that this campaign wasn't able to. Deinotherium seems to be the frontrunner but I would really prefer like to see a Columbian mammoth, given that it actually lived alongside Smilodon and is thus his ideal shelfmate.>>11140833Concavenator and Metriacanthosaurus barely count. Geosternbergia too but that animal is almost the exact same thing as Pteranodon so who cares.
>>11140898Still pissed that they didn't do the website colors. You already pissed away the website Baryonyx, what more do you need to do?
While I'm already getting the Allosaurus fragilis, I have a chance to get either the Allosaurus Jimmadseni or Carnotaurus. I'm actually more familiar with the fragilis specimen hence why I'm all over that figure, and I heard that the jimmadseni figure shares 90% of the same sculpt aside from the head due to the differing crests. So I'm wondering if I should just go for the Carnotaurus to differentiate or if I should just get both Allos since we barely have nice figures of either specimens. Curious on people's thoughts on these.
>>11141233Get the carnotaurus, its tiny little arms are amusing.
>>11141243Heh, true. While there's plenty of articulated Carnos, most of them don't go for the really tiny arms.
HC Baby Trike leaked
>>11141353reading is hard huh?>>11136955
Le pige have arrived XD
>>11141601
>>11141604
>>11141608He is not a big pig but the BotM tax + Brandonomics means he'll probably cost forty-five dollars.
>>11141233When given the choice, always go with the meat eating bull
>>11141601>>11141604>>11141608>>11141613>Went with WWB colorsI se David is finally bending the knee to superior pop culture color schemes
>>11141613kek
>>11141601>>11141604>>11141608>>11141613looks adorable. Bit annoyed that he'll probably be like $40, but if he funds then I'll absolutely get him.
>>11141669I am still mad that the WWD T. rex was in 1/35th meme scale and not the 1/18th mainline scale. At least he got Torosaurus right, and there's still hope for Big Al and/or pic related.
>>11141847I mean the 1/18 Rex one of the worst figures in the line, so maybe we can always hope that a future 1/18 Rex reissue has a WWD variant. It'd rather get a Prehistoric Planet Rex though
>>11141861Prehistoric Planet T. rex is red and we already have so red T. rex toys. I'd really rather get a PP Tarbosaurus, or especially a PP Qianzhousaurus because the existing paint scheme is vomit-tier.
Looks like David saw the crowdfund lagging and added the 1/35 mammoth early
>>11142018sweet. maybe I'll pick one up when they release in like 4 years. kek
>>11142018Guess I'll be buying a mammoth then
>>11142018As a scale-fag (as in size of figures) I like these scales for the mammoth. At 9in tall it works as a 1/18th full-sized mammoth or a 1/12th smaller-sized normal woolly mammoth. And the 1/35 mammoth can roughly work as a 1/18th Channel Island Mammoth or a 1/12th Sardinia dwarf mammoth or a large 1/12th Crete dwarf mammoth.I only ever got four raptors from the first BOTM kickstarter, and the unarmored Allo the unarmored Diloppho and the Deinonychus for Cyberzoic. But this is the first campaign where I'm planning to buy everything that gets unlocked.
>>11142405I'm gonna get it for my 1/35 Rex and the Nanmu V-Rex. Unfortunately, it's too small to use as a stand-in for a gammoth with my Tigrex, but that's what the 1/18 mammoth is for.
Nanmu are unsatisfied with their Lost World Raptors so they are going to be to be redoing the paint appshttps://x.com/Nanmu_studio/status/1831939799458181287
>>11139658WHY ARE THEY SO EXPENSIVE?! Also do you guys prefer W-Dragons Rex or PNSOs Cameron?
>>11142759I only have one (1) W-Dragon figure and it's honestly held up far better than any of my other dino figures/statues. PNSOs stuff are nicely sculpted but I find that their plastic are still way too soft in the legs that all my Rexes have started getting leaning issues (even the ones with plastic rods or sculpted bases to support them). Not sure how well W-Dragon's compares with their Rex, but my W-Dragon Allosaurus has held up pretty well on its one leg all this time.
>>11142878Damn, how do they compare to Nanmus? I'm really tempted to get their Tyrannosaurus and Retro? Rex
The added 1/35 Mammoth didn't help much if at all. In 4 days it still has 175 fewer backers than the Ceratopsian Series had on day one. Things are not looking good.
Who's that Dinosaur!!!
>>11144020THEY'RE DOING THIS BEFORE THE T-REX?! SPINO?! Curious to see what the alt color will be though.
>>11144049Probably black like the indoraptor
why are there no amber collection vehicles? i would kill for a 6" scale jeep
>>11144020shit nigga i hope it's greatI pre ordered the Carnotaurus and the reviews are great from what i've seen. Gonna preorder this bad bitch
>>111441071/12 is a faggot scale
>>11144107Try killing yourself instead
>>11144107Dead scale for retards. Oh yeah 1/12 dinosaurs, the thing where 99% of them are TOO BIG TO MAKE. I swear to god fucking 1/12 niggers are the dumbest pieces of shit alive.
At least try to make your samefagging less obvious, SEAmonkey.
>>11144049>Curious to see what the alt color will be though.It would be cool if they went with Ultimasaurus colors - that's basically what she was supposed to be anyway.
>>11144107You and like 5 other people would be willing to spend $200 on a 1/12 jeep
>>11144359are you seriously asking that question in a thread gushing over David Silva crap??
>>11144107Why would they make a vehical for a line that has been dead for 2 years? They did 6 species, one of which wasnt even 1/12, and then killed the lines because it was totally impractical.
>>1114437>gushHalf the thread bitches about them.Also those figures are made in batches of like 2000, while an Amber Collection car would need to be produced in the tens if not hundreds of thousands. There's not enough people to support it just like there wasnt enough to support the stupid 1/18 gate.
>>11144359Hasbro put out 1/12 Jeep for $100. And that was with a figure. There's really no reason Mattel couldn't do the JP Jeep for even less than that.
>>11144407Wholesome 1/12 kino?
Makes perfect sense for Mattel to make a car for a line that has shelfwarned for 5 years.
>>11144020Is this going to be articulated or a statue figure?
>>11145795Probably both
I found this at Hobby Lobby. With their eternal “40% off model kits” sale, it was $13.80
>>11146188How is it? I don't really do model kits
>>11146188That looks very fun
Mattel distribution in europe is just poor chaos. they completely skipped the first hammond collection figures and started randomly with nedry, then released them normal, then skipped other completely. good luck finding them in the first place. the shelves are still filled with shit from dominion, or stuff from 2023. newest mini wave is dino trackers from 2023. its a fucking nightmare down there.i hope my niggers Baryonyx and Dilophosaurus get a reissue one time, but knowing mattel this probably wont happen. but hey, i could still buy the Dilo contained in the Stephen Kikeberg director pack for 250 Euros in used condition from an obsucre german comic book shop. Yeah.
>>11147083Baryonyx is a pretty mediocore release, so I hope they do a complete overhaul. He's too small and he's got the giant teeth and feet of the first hammond collection figures. Other than Dilophosaurus, basically every figure in that run needs significant retooling to make them in line with the current standard of the line. The Rex desperately needs a new figure with better hips, a better head, better feet, and no shitty rubber neck that's already splitting for people.
End of week 1 and we're still only at eighty grand. It'll find but it's gonna be close. The later stretch goals are definitely going to be delayed.
>>11148822Yep, it's gonna be a real nailbiter. PBS is not pulling their weight in this thing at all. They didn't advertise the crowdfund at all, despite literally doing a video about shovel tooth elephants todayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9B7kPJ1i0MThe decision not to include the 1/35 mammoth, in the beginning, looks like it was also coming from PBS.
>>11149154
>>11149326I hope he makes a lot more 1/35 figures since the nanmu ones are going to be mostly that scale. It would also allow for some sauropods
>>11141233Damn shame that Jimmadseni got the WWD homage paint even though Big Al and the WWD Allosaurs were fragilis
>>11145795>>11145898Smart is the articulated line, it's gonna be articulated
>>11149154>>11149326>>11148822>>11148921No anons you don't get it, $200 is actually a very fair price>b-but the 1/18th Triceratops is $139.99shhhhhhhh
>>11149456it's wild that I can get the cyberzoic Trike which only had a production run of 1000 for $146 on Big Bad, but the Mammoth is gonna cost $200. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/221070?o=4>>11149348Every animal the size of the Carno and up should have a 1/35 version. Instead of indulging 1/12 collectors with the Raptors and the Smilodon David should have been making figures in the most common Dinosaur statue scale the whole time. PNSO, Haolonggood, Eofauna, Rebor, they all do most if not all of their figures in 1/35. Even Nanmu's figures are basically 1/35. It was a mistake to not extensively support a 1/35 line from the beginning
>>11148921>>11149456>>11149493The Tyrannosaur series did so well because you had the poorfag's 1/35th scale, the richfag's 1/18th scale, and a good bit of color variety across the four launch figures. Even the Ceratopsian series had a good variety of colors and sizes at launch. This time the choices at launch were brown, brown, and brown ft. white. It's somewhat baffling to me that still so many people have pledged to just the baby. Maybe it's Day 1 poorfags who aren't yet aware of the 1/35th adult. I think we'll break 200k but only just.>>11149395Big Al is jimmadseni, although that wasn't established until after the show came out.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6984342/>In the past MOR 693("Big Al) has been the subject of studies on pathology and morphology and considered Allosaurus fragilis. This study refers this specimen to Allosaurus jimmadseni. We currently recognize only three species in genus Allosaurus: Allosaurus fragilis and Allosaurus jimmadseni in North America and Allosaurus europaeus in Europe.
>>11149591>Big Al is jimmadseni, although that wasn't established until after the show came outDamn, I didn't know that had changed. Still, while the WWD skull reconstruction is very inaccurate, it clearly was meant to look more like the shorter skull of fragilis and not the longer skull of jimmandseni
>>11149591>>11149608Pretty much. Big Al is meant to be jimmadseni but most depictions of Allosaurus at the time were very much based on fragilis.

It was a mistake to not extensively support a 1/35 line from the beginningI somewhat agree. 1/35 is the general go-to scale for statuefags and if they had zeroed in on that, those figures could've easily fit with so many existing lines in a way that they can supplement each other. My BOTM Rex is still the best 1/35 Rex that I own and the articulation most definitely helps..
>>11149699David wants desperately to appeal to the brain-dead Mythic Legions fans who have a lot of money but are physically incapable of buying anything other than 1/12 scale (the kind of people who want a DIno Riders revival in 1/12 even though Dinoriders was 1/24), but they are not interested in the 1/18 figures and probably never will be. David has wasted time and money trying to capture an audience that is autistically devoted to a scale he can't make more than a handful of figures in. It's a damn shame I won't be able to pose a 1/35 BOTM Allosaurus with the 1/35 Haolonggood Camarasaurus
>>11149608God why were the WWD color schemes so kino?
>>11150040This post is so me I'm wondering if I got trashed on a 3 day bender and wrote it
The Nanmu V-rex is gonna be a couple of inches longer than the BOTM 1/35 Rex, so they scale pretty well since V-rex is supposed to be 15.2 compared to the T-rex's 12.4 meters.
>>11150510I don't need it... I don't need it.
>>11150545Wish it was more blueish in its hue, but it was still an instant pre-order for me.
>>11150554God I wish Nanmu would do a Zilla.
>>11150607That would be nice. I would love the carnotaurus from disney's dinosaur
>>11150607I hope they do. How's the plastic durability/rigidity on those toys?
>>11150668My Carno isnt arriving for a few more days so I cant say how it stacks up in bigger bodied figures, but it feels pretty comperable to BOTM figures. Unfortunately that means the paint apps have similar rubbing issues as BOTM figures as well
>>11150607I don't. Toho is way more litigious than Universal.
I wonder if David will ever do pterosaurs, or if he'll just stick to dragons when it comes to flying beasts.
>>11140833Luv this chonky boy
>>11150978Is there a way to make an articulated pterosaur that can do flying and standing poses? i know HC has one but it bends its wings sidways instead of inward
>>11141867I would love the PP Tarbosaurus, in my opinion it's the only color scheme from prehistoric planet to be in the same league as the ones from WWD. It even beat their own Tarbosaurus
>>11151632With some kind of fabric wings I guess, but it'll wear out with time.
>>11150668Just received the Carnotaurus. It feels really great, but joints are tight as FUCK. Articulation is stiffer than expected but the sculpt is insane. They do not feel cheap at all.
>>11151718>It even beat their own TarbosaurusThat's not too hard considering that it's essentially JUST a recolored Rex.
>>11151827maybe a hot air gun or a little warm water is in order?
>>11152031I'm talking about the color scheme exclusively. I think the WWD one is pretty nice, shows you can have interesting patterns without needing to use bright colors, but the PP one is far superior
>>11151826Fabric would be a lot more durable than rubber, as long as it isn’t that shitty fake leather that peels apart after a few years.
>>11152105A few days inside the house warmed it enough, but yeah, warm water would have been required.
>>11134619Dominion should have been entirely about the dinosaur smuggling in Malta
RIP
>>11160058F
>>11160058Any notable Rebors I should keep an eye out for? I have none.
>>11160058Damn shame.>>11160204Their 2 different retrosaur Tyrannosaurs
>>11160655I love both of those to be honest.
