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.

>>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

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.
>>11726383Who's Ross
>>11726455He designs the articulation on all the figures.
Something i've realized with BOTM articulation is that if you are rough with them you get a little bit more range. I feel people are too scared of breaking them that they don't move them to their full potential. Still not as good as something like Nanmu tho
>>11726514Still new to the line and I have to agree with this. I've noticed the same, though, I am a little gun-shy after the foot peg tore off when I tried to remove it from one of my Dromeosaurus when I was just trying to change out one of the swappable feet. Granted, as far as I'm aware it's also one of their oldest figures so I suppose that checks out. But the legs especially have way better range if you just push it a little further than you might think may be okay. Most especially in how high they can kick. The legs can go so much higher than I think most are willing to try. Here's hoping that 2.0 Rex is successful and it makes them reevaluate how important real goddamned articulation is.
All I'm saying is, if Haolonggood isn't the first company to make a Haolong toy, then there is truly no God. Also BoTM is making a Spicomellus and I'm just wondering how the spikes are gonna be. Because it's one of three things.>Frail as fuck and break easily>Rubber so they're not actually sharp>Sharp enough to classify as a mace
>>11726575God this is giving me flashbacks to those bootleg Yu-Gi-Oh toys that had really sharp spikes that would cut your fingers if you tried to play with them
>>11724781that articulation looks like dogshit, man.>Also, fucking lmao at the dweebs at Dinosaur Toy Forum absolutely malding over this not being statueshit.why are statue collectors the most annoying collectors on earth?>>11726383Ross isn't a dumb ass, he's just annoying with the fact that he cares more about sculpt fidelity than articulation. Comparing the polar bear he did for hasbro to the Sabertooth he did for Creative Beasts is like night and day.
>>11726575Have to ask them during the next live stream. People only asked about the range of articulation and whether it was gonna be able to roll into a ball.
>>11725195But the BOTM Rex 2.0 will have itI'm so annoyed that the Rex is going to have toe articulation, but the fucking Acro isn't
>>11726599Forgot to post the Twitter link of the articulation showcasehttps://x.com/TMtheEQplusNerd/status/2026863350957973780Glad I skipped the first Rex, I'd be pretty mad if I paid $200 for a glorified statue
>>11726594>and whether it was gonna be able to roll into a ballThis would be very stupid but also cool
>>11726514half the people who collect BOTM do not understand that you need to nuke your figures to free up the joints and that allows them to be more expressive. Chris can say, "You need to warm up your figure every video that he does on a figure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHoKwAVzsCQand yet you will still get people who won't heat them up and work them.
>>11726591Fucking hilarious that the HC Triceratops is closer to 1/35 scale than 1/18
>>11726622I'm happy that I finally have figures that can scale well with it, because of how smal it looks
Any new jurassic sharks?
>>11726671I actually really like the HC trike. Mainly the paint
>>11726906I like the HC Trike as well, the horns especially look good. I just would like it more if it were the size of the Stegosaurus.
>>11727073Yeah. Really wish that scale got introduced earlier
>>11727073I'd say there's very few hammond collection figures that are perfect(my favorited are the Cerato and the white atrociraptor) with things like all the wildly inconsistent ever changing eyes, opening mouths being worse on many of the dinos than their cheaper mainline counterparts, noticable paint rub at torso and neck joints, those new stupid swap out mouths and articulation issues/quirks like the rex torso getting floppy or the weird restrictions on the carnotaur neck etc. But having affordable, available, and easily PLAYABLE dino toys for $15-30-50 dollars instead of $150 and having them move half as much at best in many cases, getting advice like "you have to heat them up every time you move them" with BotM is really no contest. I've gotten and kept almost every Hammond collection dino, where I've sold most of my creative beast stuff and have way less on order. For the cost the value just isn't there, in many cases they are actively worse. I know it's a small company vs a large but the reasons don't really matter when the finished product is such a chore, and ultimately, less fun for me.
>>11727416The main problem with CB figures is the higher prioritization of sculpt vs articulation. Yes, CB figures aren’t literal statues, but posing and display options aren’t very dynamic because the range of motion is less than other lines. Yes, for sculpt and most of the paint jobs (latter being a personal opinion only) CB stuff looks great. But posing them is so disappointing. I have both the Mattel HC Allosaurus and the CB Allosaurus jimmadsenni and the Mattel is just so much more fun to mess around with. If the CB wasn’t so damn pricy I’d be willing to kitbash it with various aftermarket and 3D printed joint systems to make it better at posing.
>>11726514>>11726610Oh definitely. I always dunk my BOTM in hot water after opening them up and that really helps to get more range and flexibility in their articulation.
>>11727609>inion only) CB stuff looks great. But posing them is so disappointing. I have both the Mattel HC Allosaurus and the CB Allosaurus jimmadsenni and the Mattel is just so much more fun to mess around with.Cant relateI love the CB A.fragillis and A. jimmadseniThey are way more enjoyable to mess around with than the HC Allosaurus. The Nanmu Tyrannosaurs are the only dino figures that feel anywhere near as fun to fuck around with.
>>11727658I kind of regret selling my 1/35 rex. It'll probably get a 2.0 replacement like the 1/18, but it'd be cool to have a pack of Tyrannosaurs
>>11727712>>11727724Dryosaurus
>>11727730They're fun little guys. I really enjoy them
quick question: does the official botm store actually ship stuff outside the us or are you stuck with overpriced ebay resells? i wanna at least try and get the spicomellus whenever that's finished and avaliable
>>11727806Lanatime is carrying their newer figures now and they are a Chinese based shop that ship's internationally. I believe there is a british store that supplies most of Europe but I dont remember its name. I am American I cant tell you about whether CB ships internationally, but you can probably email them or ask in one of their livestreams
>>11727959>>11727748I still don't get why they thought having a seperate mouth piece was a good idea instead of a classic hinge jaw. Even if they had to go with the mouth piece, you couldn't have lined up the seam with the mouth so it looks slightly less off?
>>11728222Yeah i don't get it either. But i do like the use of alternate hands and horns in this wave
>>11728222It's weird because both of the other small figures in the wave had fine jaw articulation
>>11728315HC has always had problems with herbivore mouths. I feel they haven't found a way to make the cheeks look good.
>>11724781
>>11728337Honestly if they were gonna go with a static jaw they should have just gone with 2 different heads that you can swap out.
>>11728415100% agree. the seam line is pretty bad
>>11728725I am mildly annoyed that CB keeps using blood effects when showing off the Stego BTFOing the Allosaurus, but doesnt make their own.I'd love if they sold mutilated/battle damaged parts. The wounded Old Buck doesnt really count since that's a whole second figure
>>11728744That would be very nice. Broken horns, Bitten off arms, heads with bite marks, the sky truly is the limit
>>11728893Hopefully the 2.0 trike will have swappable horns since they are totally resculpting the head. I'm a bit suprised the Carno doesnt come with any broken horns since it is coming with so many alternate horns to swap around and the Mammoth with was designed after the Carno has a broken tusk.
>>11728903The mammoth is the perfect example of what i wish they did more. It came with male tusks, female tusks and a broken tusk
>>11728315>>11728415Allo got himself a new Real Doll.
>>11728744I mean, we got broken tusks with the adult 1/18 and 1/35 mammoths.
>>11729274Slander!Blue Brow was just bringing a meal to his lady friend. He's a hopless romantic.
>>11729278>Allo species-mixingCRINGEBut seriously, nice. I might need to try and grab a dryo before they go outta stock.
what's the best Carnosaurs that I can still buy for a normal price? The hammond collection one is over 400€
>>11729584With the Nanmu Carno running like $230 on Ebay, the cheapest option for a carnotaurus is the Cyberzoic Carno for $109. https://cyberzoic-toys.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/587870
>>11728725>>11729532It’s herbivores you gotta really watch out for. I need to swing by the closest Target for these fuckers.
>>11729615>that carno
>>11730079kek
>>11730079The carno has swappable horns so the Groucho Marx brows aren't manditoray.
>>11730156I'm probably going to mix and match the horns
Is the Hammond Collection dead or will they release new waves this year?
>>11730213The leaks said we were supposed to be getting Indominus later this year, but there hasnt been a Beyond the Gates in months. Mattel may be slowing down the HC to a crawl.>>11729997I dont think they ever showed up at Target. I got my three from Amazon.
>>11730231>getting Indominus later this yearthat would be so cool, I missed every single release.
What would you guys say are your top 3 favourite dinosaurs and if they do have toys which is your favourite version of them?
>>11730395Carnotaurus: Hammond Collection. Will probably change to BOTM once it releases but who knowsTyrannosaurus: Nanmu articulated BuckSpinosaurus: There isn't a single paleo spino that i can think of. But the HC one is pretty cool
Hey, am I wrong for wishing the ARK style of dinosaurs got figures?
>>11730480I'm sure no one wants to tackle a paleo spino because half-way through development the design will change again and they'll have to redo the whole damned thing
>>11730718Most of the skeleton is known now (If i remember correctly basically just the arms are missing). Most spino discussion now is useless debates on whether or not the thing could swim
>>11730483You are not wrong but i doubt that will ever happen
>>11730395I'm a very generic carnivore kinda guyGiganotosaurus: the HC Giga is the only one so i guess it's my favorite even though it looks more like Acrocanthosaurus.Tyrannosaurus: the Nanmu BuckAllosaurus: the Botm Allosaurus
Is the Hammond Collection Allosaurus any good? I watched a few reviews and everyone seems to love him even if posing him can be a bit annoying. To be honest I'm a bit out of the loop, in my time dino toys had no articulation at all and were solid plasic. You guys think his rubber tail and teeth will last or "rot" away in a year or two?
>>11731065I don't know i didn't get it because i don't like the design
>>11731065from what I've seen, he's pretty great specifically if you like the articulation. It's easier and has more freedom to pose than, for instance, the creative beast allos, so really the big sticking point is whether or not you like the design itself. Though if you just want any Allo with good articulation, I'd say you should ideally wait for Nanmu to do their broken-jaw Allo.
>>11731067>i don't like the designwhat's wrong with it in your opinion?>>11731068>creative beast>Nanmu to do their broken-jaw Allo.I just looked them up , I have to say I do like the color of the cb one but somehow he looks "wrong" to me, can't explain it. The nanmu one doesn't seem to even have a prototype yet.
>>11731091There are two different designs for the CB one. One is the Beasts of the Mesozoic one (green, fragilis) and the Cyberzoic one (jimmadseni) if the head is the part that's throwing you off. Personally I don't like the colors on the green one myself. There's also the two smaller versions of both of these, with the smaller cyberzoic one having a completely different color scheme of its own for some reason.
>>11731065The articulation on the HC Allosaurus is mid. It's side to side range is meh, even when using both the neck and head. The lack of a torso cut limits how expressive you can get him in comparison to the CB Allosaurus which is in general a much more fun and fluid figure to pose ( except maybe the tail since it's 3 segments and not a long bendywire).If you want an Allosaurus but dont want to spend $120 on the CB 1/18, I'd recommend the upcoming CB 1/35 Allosaurs or the Nanmu 1/35 Allosaurus.
>>11731091>he looks "wrong" to me, can't explain itWhich one? fragilis or jimmadsenni?
Amazon Leak for Hammond Collection Scorpius rex
>>11731319>non-hinged mouthEh, I get that it’s cheaper engineering-wise plus no soft rubber cheek muscles to rear or rot, but I prefer more than two jaw poses with predators.
>>11731330>non-hinged mouthwhere do you read that? maybe you can move both mouth pieces once attached
>>11731099>>11731181I was talking about the green one and I do like the green in general. Maybe my problem with it are the turkey eyes. Is the other (on that picture) not the Hammond one? >>11731162>The articulation on the HC Allosaurus is mid.You're the first one I hear saying this.>torso cut does that really make such a big difference? It looked like it offers barely any extra movement in the comparison I've watched.
>>11731385>Is the other (on that picture) not the Hammond one? It's the Hammond Collection Allosaurus. I posted the wrong picture it was supposed to be the cyberzoic jimmadsenni which is the same species as the JW Allosaurus.>You're the first one I hear saying this.I just really dislike it's neck and head articulation. They are an improvement on the Carno, but the limitations it has looking to the side are annoying. I would probably be kinder to it if I didnt loath the design.>does that really make such a big difference?On its own the torso cut doesnt add a ton, but in conjunction everything else, it adds up.
>>11731388
>>11731091It's too jurassic-worldy if that makes sense. I don't like the drab coloration (which to be fair is much better in the toy than in the movie model), the face is ugly and the i don't like when they add osteoderms and spikes to dinosaurs not known to have had them.
>>11731385The torso cut is essential for the WDRTE pose. So every theropod should have it
>>11731319Scorpius before Indominus or Indoraptor?;
It's honestly impressive just how fucking bad the BOTM looks.
>>11731067based wallet voter
>>11731388that is indeed a huge difference.>>11731546>WDRTE posewhat is that? Even google has no clue.>>11731389They do kinda look like a different species here.Am I really the only one here that likes the Hammond Allosaurus look?
>>11731619>Am I really the only one here that likes the Hammond Allosaurus look?I don't mind the look, myself. My only real issue is the HC is that I'm probably the only weirdo who prefers the more washed out colors of the Movie/Big Rock Allo over the HC version of that color scheme. It'd be nice if someone did the Frontier design for the Adult Allo as a toy, I actually think that's the best Jurassic series Allo design, with the JPOG allo being a close second. Wish that one had a toy too.
>>11731619>what is that? Even google has no clue.
>>11731568It's the paint man. Such good models ruined by the amateurish paint applications. They look like something a kid would make with those "Paint your own dinosaur" toys
>>11731568Top looks greatmiddle looks wild, like they decided they are done with the same basic color sheme everyone always usesbottom looks flat, like it has no sculping what so ever on his body.
>>11731643feels like cultural appropriation for anyone but a T-Rex to do that.
>>11731657kek
>>11731568I'm not a fan of how fleshy the lips look or that it seems to be leaning too heavily into the inaccurate Sue reconstruction that makes her look obese, but the paint work is leagues better than the BotM rex.>>11731619>Am I really the only one here that likes the Hammond Allosaurus look?I just cant vibe with the modifications they made to the head. It looks like a fucked up attempt to splice a Torvosaurus with an Allosaurus to create some kind of generic carnosaur. Then there is the issue with it's hands. Just like the Baryonyx they nerfed Allosaurus's big old hand claws. I'm not as bothered by others by the iguana spikes and the feature scales though which seems to be a lot of people's issue with the design.
>>11731684
>>11731685
Any toymaker jumped on the new Dinohorror trend yet?
>>11731684The claw thing is so bizarre. You would expect universal to exaggerate them to make them more le scawwy not make them smaller
>>11731757claws are a raptor thing, Allosaurus is supposed to be a smaller t-rex.
>>11731757They did the same thing with the BaryonyxUniversal makes some weird design decisions. The utter refusal to just give us a full-sized dilo despite the fact that it would make it so much more intimidating. They don't even need to take away the venom and the frill, just make it that big in an appearance or two. Or how they've permanently locked the jurassic series version of Moros into this tiny, cat-sized thing when the real thing was like, the size of a JP velo.
>>11731656>bottom looks flat, like it has no sculping what so ever on his body.That's because the PNSO dude is mega autistic about dinosaur anatomy and dinosaurs had really tiny scales that would be basically invisible in 1/35 scale
>>11731568Oof. I always thought the default colors on the BOTM looked weird but now I'm even more glad I stuck with the muted colors of the WWD version.>>11731684This. Allosaurus has such a distinguishable head shape that the HC/Universal design feels way too streamlined for my tastes.
>>11731816>PNSO dude is mega autistic Pretty much. I think it looks okay but when it comes to toys, a bit of exagerration in the texture/sculpt really does help because otherwise the scales would look too smooth in 1/35 scale even if it might be more realistic.
>>11730395Baryonyx: Hammond Collection but I'd like to see a more paleo-styled one outside of JP.T-Rex: Sadly, my most favorite Rex sculpt is from a statue with only jaw articulation (pic-related). While the Nanmu looks phenomenal, I have a weird rule of collecting JP-style dinos strictly from Mattel (though the Nanmu pair are still oh-so tempting). The next best thing I have is the 1/35 BOTM Rex in WWD colors, but I'm hoping their upcoming 2.0 will be the one I'm looking for. Their juvenile Rex is probably one of my favorite dino figures to pose around.Allosaurus: 1/18 BOTM all the way. Easily the best Allosaurus by far, and I'm partial to the Fragilis version since it's the Allosaurus skull design I'm most familiar with. Looking forward to the 1/35 versions.
>>11731828I agree
>>11731840Strangely i think the Mattel toys look more like Baryonyx than the movie model
>>11724781Dinosaurs are lame and gay
>>11731823>stuck with the muted colors of the WWD versionThe standard is way too ambitious in its colors. They look fine when David paints the prototype, but they look like ass when the final product comess out, especially in those earlier figures
How do you store your dinosaur toys? They seem to be really big compared to normal action figures. Do you put them in a box when not playing with them?
>>11732100It's so obvious when the best looking dinos they've ever put out are the ones with the simplest paint jobs. Something like the Pachyrhino with its simple two tone color scheme and not a bunch of striped spotted bullshit all over its face and back.
>>11732100I feel this is true of all BOTM figures
>>11732377And he also really needs to learn when a coloration should be finished. For example the T. rex REALLY doesn't need those horrible looking stripes on its snout. Hell i really wish the coloration was as simple as in that figure's art
>>11732100>They look fine when David paints the prototypelol lmao >>11726575David can sculpt like a motherfucker, but his paint jobs are always shoddy. He needs to invest in an airbrush instead of arcade machines. Or better yet, let someone else do the paint masters.

>>11732445>>11732454The head sculpts seem off on both of these. Shame, I was actually sort of looking forward to Hank Scorpio.
>>11732565Scorpius looks mostly fine, but Indominus looks genuinely badalso>no "glass" eyeLike I get getting rid of the gimmick in the small figures because it looks like ass, but getting rid of it in the large theropods is wild
>>11732570>Scorpius looks mostly fineIt really doesn't. Just about everything is wrong.>no "glass" eyeThat's a pleasant surprise, they always looked like shit.
>>11732579my mistake.You're right, he does look totally different.>they always looked like shit.The Spinosaurus eye looked good, but it did look bad in basically every other figure.
>>11731828Imagine being super into dinosaur anatomy and still using the bad proportions of the Sue reconstruction.
>>11732624The BOTM one wins in terms of proportions that's for sure
>>11732624>>11732707Actually a really good example of how to do and not to do lips on theropods. While the BOTM one keeps them very tight and as close to the bone as possible the Nanmu one adds so much soft tissue that it ends up distorting the skull shape
>>11732587old yeller teeth
>>11732451>>11732468If I had a nickel for everytime Hypsilophodon snuck its way into a completely unrelated wave of anticipated JP stuff, I'd have two nickels.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN3bJeDeXRY
>>11732709>NanmuDo you mean PNSO?
>>11732587Cum mouth
>>11732624Why does the right one looks like he's balding?
>>11732930That's just what Sue looked like, and because 2/3rds of Tyrannosaur reconstructions are actualy just reconstructions of Sue we have to have Tyrannosaurs with weird heads and ribs that are too wide.
do we know how big the new Hammonds will be? From the reveal pics they do look kinda small.
>>11733157Either ham size or man sized
>>11732624Casual dino fan here admittedly (I like paleo stuff but don't know nearly enough to give much of an informed opinion) but the straight-ahead stare of the middle and right ones are really cracking me up; they look like they've just stepped out of the de-extinction machine and are beyond disappointed that the world is now dominated by small smooth-skinned apes whose apparent leaders do unspeakable things to hatchlings.>"You know what? I think another meteor is in order. This SUCKS."Like it makes sense they'd have binocular vision, being predators and all, but god it looks funny from the front.
>>11732916Yeah PNSO my bad. I tend to get the two mixed up
>>11732952I hate how when people make a reconstruction based on Sue they always (and i mean always) ignore the fact that she is crouching in that mount so her legs are not fully extended. It's how you end up with reconstructions that are absolute leglets like the PP one
>>11733157>From the reveal pics they do look kinda smallThere's nothing to compare them to what do you mean?
>>11733269It sucks so much that probably the best Tyrannosaur reconstruction in any of the recent Paleo docs is from the worst of them. The WWD25 Rex is just leagues better than the PP Rex, but the documentary was absolute ass.
>>11733304I agree tho i think they ocerdid it a little with the lips. It almost looks like thing has a beak when it closes its mouth
>>11733269Here's an edit i made proper legs
>>11733321*with Fuck
a little bit of paint goes a long way on the hammond collection figures.A simple dry brushing of white is going to make that indominus look sharp.
>>11733707This is even true for the regular Mattel figures. They have a lot of sculpted detail that you don't even notice because of the lack of paint
>>11733707Paint apps are one of the most expensive parts of the figure making process unfortunately, so Mattel refuses yo do anything but the bare minimum to keep profits high
>>11734780
Nanmu Allo. Pre-orders should go up somewhere at the end of the month at the latest.
>hammond collection Stegosaurus Should I buy it? Will the tail break if I play too much with it?
>>11732473remember what they took from you
>>11734826Them doing such an obscure dinosaur gives me hope that they could make a disney carnotaurus one day
>>11734856I really like the HC stego, that's why I bought two, but it's tail is pretty limited in the range it can swing, and with no torso joint that limitation is felt even more. Still a great figure though
>>11734856>>11735010The lack of a moving jaw is a little annoying, but wasnt a deal breaker for me, but I can see why it might be for others
>>11734826My big dream figures for Nanmu now:>Disney Carnotaurus (Normal, Ride-style)>Dinosaur Planet Pyroraptor (Pod, his sisters)>JPOG Acrro/Carchar>Gwangi>The Dragon Ball T-rex design>Sharptooth (Classic, Mysterious Island)>The Isle Giga but there's no way in hell to make that happen without Dondi throwing a shitfit about it>Jurassic Fight Club Nanotyrannus, unironically
>>11735010>but it's tail is pretty limited in the range it can swingbut isn't it a wire thing? I've seen a reviewer just bend it into a U-Turn. How much did you play with them, any damage on the tails?
>>11735316It can bend just fine, but it can't hold the pose well at all because of how bulky the rubber tail is.I havent had any damage to the tail of either of mine
>>11735251>Dragon Ball T-rexOne of my pipedream figure lines is a crossover between the figuarts dragon ball line and monsterarts that consists of a bunch of dragon ball monsters
>>11735425Honestly, with the ultraman line considered, they could just be a big figurarts without needing to make it a crossover with monsterarts. Which would be good, given Monsterarts more recent track record.
Any of you buying Schleich toys or are they completely out of fashion nowadays?
>>11736238Figurines will always have a place in my heart
>>11734826>broken jawholy fucking kino, i remember watching that as a kid
>>11736238>>11736287They are really well made, and I wished more stores sold them so they would be more competitively priced. Right now, I see them at Michael's, at Barnes & Nobles and maybe one or two other spots - few and far between. The sculpts on some are really good, and I would like them more if they had just a bit more articulation for at least SOME of the figurines.I think people's hate for figurines is for soulless crap like Funko Pops.>>11731999you and your little hands need to go fuck yourselves
>>11736481In all fairness about Schleich, they're very hit or miss. Just look at their Moros figure for an example
>>11736540I love their Moros but that's because i love buying butt-ugly toys. It's also why i have the Papo Protoceratops
>>11736540>>11736751>Moroshe looks like a true monster but at the same time like a silly little guy.
>>11736754Its face kind of looks like a chimpanzee
I got my HC Allosaurus, I love him. He feels great, looks great and does what I want him to. But damn is he big. I feel like if I go into the dino hole I will have to not give them a shelve but a corner of my bedroom floor.
Hammond Collection Jeep. It's supposed to be an all in one even though the number is 18 so that doesn't work...
Got some more birds today.
>>11737733The Deinonychus are roughly the size I was expecting, but at the same time, bigger? I expected them to be a bit smaller than Eo, but they're roughly the same size.
>>11737736It's weird that every time (2 times) I have gotten more than 1 of the same figure from CB, one of them is always a bit fucked up. After giving them a hot soak to loosen the joints, I'd one of the shoulders on one of them is just... Fucked now, I guess. And before the soak, that same one had a weird ball joint in the base of its arm that keeps pooping out. Their ankle (real ankle) were also weirdly tight even after the soak. They seem pretty good now though, the tails especially, much better and more free than any of the other bendy-tails in the ones I have
>>11737741>My Ancestor :)1/18 Velo is better than I expected for its size. Not really any further comments. Little dude is alright. Probably a bit overpriced.
>>11737733>>11737736>>11737741Yeah people often assume Deinonychus was smaller than it actually was because it is commonly used to show how oversized the JP raptors were. And it is true they were smaller than the ones in JP, but they were still about the size of a large gray wolf
>>11737741>I'd one of the shoulders on one of them is just... Fucked nowre-reading part of this post I feel like I had a stroke part-way through. Which is what I get for writing a post while 90% asleep. To fix my error: Before the soak, one of them had a really weird, misshapen torso. Soak fixed it, but still weird. Was a lot harder to get their leg joints going than Eotyrannus too. Also seems like literally all of their smaller figures have a very slight underbite. Eo has one, Deinonychus has one, Velo has one. But none of the other ones do. >>11737815Makes sense. I guess my general mental picture of the size of Deinonychus is based on that one Wikipedia image comparing it, Velo, Utah, Austro, Micro, etc, to eachother. Which, of course, is standing in a more dynamic pose, which is probably skewing my mental mage a bit.
>>11738522Speaking of Autroraptor wasn't there going to be a BOTM one?
>>11738652I sure hope so. One of my favorite dromaeosaurs thanks to an ass-disaster of a dinosaur game that gave me stockholm syndrome.
https://www.speelboer.com/botm-allosaurus-fragilis-1-35-01376>seventy goddamn euro for this tiny thingYeaah, nah. I'll stick to Nanmu (and perhaps PNSO) exclusively from now on.
>>11738991Are you like being intentionally retarded? The similarly sized nanmu figures like the Indoraptor and Velociraptor are the same price on that site
>>11739010Exactly, why would I pay almost the same amount for a much inferior product? They're also way smaller than you let on.
>>11739063Okay, retard
>Never bought a BOTM>1/18 Allo Frag and Dilo look pretty cool>Go on ebayholy fuck...Do they make rereleases or am I paying rape prices?
>>11739431If it helps, I guess they're still available on their website.
Nanmu Allos are up.
>>11740095Package shot. Unless I'm mistaken, I just don't get why everyone forgets the big thumb claw when it's one of Allosaurus's defining features and makes its claws look more deadly. Only seen statue companies and CB get that right so far.
So in the middle of Mattel plastering spikes onto everything that doesn't need them, they just randomly decided to make the first ever toy of Stomatosuchus???
>>11739431The Cyberzoic color pattern for the Dilo is still up https://creative-beast.com/product/dilophosaurus-wetherilli-cyberzoic-1-18th-scale-action-figure/And the 1/18 fragillis is still available as wellhttps://creative-beast.com/product/1-18-allosaurus-fragilis-action-figure-1/>>11740099Yeah, it's so weird that so many people get it wrong. Though Nanmu has the excuse that it isnt their design.
>>11739768>If it helps, I guess they're still available on their website.>>11741657Thank you anons.
Prototype for Blockees 1/35 Rex
>>11743159Their 1/64 scale Rex and Trike
>>11743160And their non-scale figures
>>11741657>Though Nanmu has the excuse that it isnt their design.Where's it from?
>>11741657why does it look so sensual? Like a man playing with his pregnant wife?
>>11743256Dinosaur Revolution. Dinosaur documentary that had some pretty good designs. The DR T-rex with he fucking skull-colored head goes hard.It also doesn't take itself completely seriously, mainly because it wasn't originally formatted as a documentary, it's a fun watch, but the Broken-Jaw Allo was absolutely a highlight. It's also the documentary that taught me that Torvosaurus exists.
>>11743160These are particularly exciting >>11743777>We're getting figures of fucking dogs and pigs from this retard before dimetrodons or oviraptors or pterosaurs or any aquatic creaturesJesus Christ. At least the cerato is fucking 100% badass, I'll definitely be getting him.
>>11743777First wave I am vetting literally all the figures. Might even get to Rhinos>>11743869There is no paleozoic line. Why would there be a dimetridon? Filling out the La Brea tarpits with Dire Wolves makes more sense, especially given how popular the smilodon has been.
>>11743873>Hurr durr why no this word not make sense?? There wasn't a cenozoic line until he decided to start making a bunch of fucking cats and dogs and pigs you cum guzzling fucktard. He'll make a dimetrodon at some point and slap a different word on the box and literally no one will give a shit.
>>11743869>>11743873I do wish they made a Dimetrodon. Specially since it's the last we have left to have the "mascot" of every major era
>ILM reusing their shitty JW allosaurus for the third fucking time>https://youtu.be/IoHWPAN6FPgI am glad we are getting another Dino movie, but can we fucking not get Allogator skin jimmadsenni again?
>Cyberzoic Dilophosaurus How is he different from the normal BotM one? Can I take off his hair/cape thing?
>>11744551>How is he different from the normal BotM one?To my knowledge, owning neither and just looking at pictures: >Better (IMO) Color scheme and general paint application >I THINk the neck wrinkels and the eye-dangly things?
>>11744551Yes i am pretty sure you can take off the collar
>>11744531It seems you made a typo there but it made your post 10 times better. Kek, allogator
>>11744551>How is he different from the normal BotM one? Can I take off his hair/cape thing?The color is differentThe head crests are sculpted slightly differentThe feathers are a separate piece and can be removed
>>11744551Different (better) paintDifferent head & neck sculpts that change the crests and give him turkey waddle Removable cape
>>11744876>prefer the right's sculpt>prefer the left's paintFuck me
>>11744876These guys got the down syndrome stare
