PNSO announced they're joining the articulated dinosaur toy game. Looks pretty decent, though the range of motion doesn't seem very impressive. Seeing as they will be directly competing with Creative Beast, hopefully this will force David to finally improve his dogshit paint apps.Also, fucking lmao at the dweebs at Dinosaur Toy Forum absolutely malding over this not being statueshit.
>>11724781if it isn't a reboot of definitely dinosaurs, then i do not care
Finally a fucking dinosaur thread
>>11724781>hopefully this will force David to finally improve his dogshit paint appsHope Nanmu does too
Speaking of T. rex and Creative Beast, the 2.0 they showed off on stream actually looked alright in terms of movement. It's basically what the first one should've been to begin with. Though, inevitably, it'll be ruined by the paint.>>11724858Obviously, but this is more comparable since they're both doing plausible reconstructions rather than film creatures.
>>11724866>but this is more comparable since they're both doing plausible reconstructions rather than film creatures.True, true
>>11724781Where are it's feathers?
So, I PO’s 2 andrewsarchuses from Creative beast. One I’m keeping as-is but the other I’m gonna do a head-transplant onto the upcoming movie version of MOTU’s Battle Cat and mod the claws into hooves so I can have the all-but-disproven mesonychian reconstruction in articulated form. Thoughts?
>>11725154That sounds epic
>>11724781You know at first i was sad it lacked a mid-torso cut but the BOTM rex might as well not have it so it's the same
>>11725185I can only hope the CB Andrewsarchus head won’t be too small on the new battle cat, assuming it’s the same size as the Revelations one.
>>11725195The guy who runs PNSO is super autistic about anatomy. The real animal wouldn't be able to bend there, so the figure can't either.
Hyped for this macho manGotta find some clothes to put him in, like a wifebeater or something
>>11724781if dinosaurs ever actually existed i would be all in on dinosaur action figures. to the nth degree. but i'm not weed brained cattle who believes mainstream academia's lies so it is a real turn off.
>>11725496with all due respect, Sir, this is /toy/, not /pol/
>>11725501>people who like action figures don't have the capacity for critical thinkingfor the vast majority you are correct
>>11725501my point isn't about whether or not dinosaurs existed at all, but rather how is the discussion about that topic even tangentially related to this board in the first place?
>>11725510oops, wrong post reply. meant for >>11725505
Quit samefagging, bot.
>>11725529Dinosaurs
>>11724781>PNSO>lipsGuess the guy who runs PNSO finally caved in huh? I know he was an advocate for lipless Rex for the longest time.>>11725353Kek
>>11725744He caved a while ago, when that one paper came out. Their theropods have been lipped since the yangchuanosaurus.
>>11725744He did a while ago. If he is truly smart he will give it two heads one with lips and one without
>>11725404first lips now this, I can't keep up with the science
>>11725986kek
oh hey, finally another dinosaur thread. Anybody else pre-order their Nanmu Rex off of BBTS?Was curious because now that everyone else seems to be getting theirs, mine still hasn't shipped, and I wanted to check and see if that's just a "BBTS takes longer than other stores" thing or not. I only ask because I have literally never pre-ordered a toy before and so anything even going slightly not to plan is making me paranoid that my order specifically is fucked for some reason.
>>11725052Wow this looks good. If the retard can actually release more things and stop posting about how terrible his life is and how he can't do anything ever he'd be doing alright. >>11724781Exciting stuff, hope they don't just stick to very well known species for these now that they're doing articulation. They've done so many interesting models over the years, would hate for them to start back at just basic dinos now that they're experimenting with articulation. Their water creatures and fliers have been stellar, hope we see some of them get this treatment. >>11726263BBTS will literally not get it for months compared to everyone else. They are good for guaranteed orders that you don't need to pay for until they're in, and of course the cheap combined shipping. But they make up for this with higher prices and they choose boat shipping for all their stuff to allow for the cheap combined shipping. This means while every other retailer gets stuff off a plane and to you in a few weeks max, BBTS will be much, much longer. But don't panic, totally normal.
>>11726296Alright, good to know, thank, anon. My only real context with BBTS was two other orders I made before for SHF dragon ball stuff, and since one of those things came in and was available for normal order while it was still only available for pre-order on Amazon, I just assumed that meant BBTS was good about getting newer things shipped out faster. Guess I just gotta be patient.
>>11726263Dinosaurs should be used more in medieval settings specially if said setting is meant to be somewhat grounded. They are the closest thing the planet has had to dragons except for maybe the giant pterosaurs
>>11725353this excuse would be fine if any of these actually had decent revoltech esque articulation that allowed things like the head and neck to have really great range of motion, or the legs to actually be able to get into crouching positions etc, but they're all barely movable. I don't know why we've needed 150 releases from Creative Beast Studio before they started to improve articulation but it's annoying as fuck. Like they really could just print a few of them, and improve them, and print a few more, and improve them. Go through a few rounds of prototypes instead of selling people a hundred different releases at $100+ each before they bother.
Speelboer sure are taking their sweet time getting the Nanmu rexes in stock.
>>11726346It's insane how much BOTM articulation can improve if you just shave down some of the plastic between the joints. Makes me wonder why they aren't like that by default
>>11726376>Makes me wonder why they aren't like that by defaultCuz Ross is a dumbass.
>>11726346>>11726376>>11726383I truly don't understand it. The entire thing is that every release is the most articulated dinosaur ever, and then the engineering for most of them means that despite being made out of 25-35+ separate pieces many of them have stiff limbs, even stiffer necks and torsos and mouths that can barely open etc. I get that for decades we had basically only dino statues but damn. It always feels like such a chore moving most of these guys around for me. At least the small ones are nice and easy and pose pretty well.
