Any fans of dinosaur figures here?
>>11878681yeah
>>11878722Hell yeah, dinos rule
>>11878681Waiting for my boi to arrive in October
>>11878730I love the coloring on this one! I'm also waiting for my spino (thread picrel)
Hell yeah
>>11878681Anybody here owns the Wonder Artistic Models wooden puzzles? I love them, and they're accurate to real skeletons
The Tyrannosaurus & Trike 2.0 wave looks really solid. It's mostly just 2.0s and juveniles of existing figures, but other than the Chasmosaurs mother and baby, I think I might be getting 1 of everything.
>>11878787
>>11878681I love these goobers
Nanmu has new Tyrannosaurus figures on Lanatime if anyone is interested. I know a lot of people wanted the Buck, and one of the new ones has the Buck color. Not sure what the other two are based on.
>>11878864ashen monarch is ember (rebirth rex) and the once and future king is an original creation
>>11878864I pre-ordered the Buck and Ember. They look so good. What is the red head one supposed to be a referance too?
>>11878890quote from them: "draws inspiration from Sideshow’s legendary T-Rex statue, a design that ranks among our top three favorite T-Rex interpretations. It is our way of honoring the industry pioneers who paved the way before us."
>>11878795
>>11878889>>11878890I thought it was Ember cause of the jaw but the color seems off? I though Ember has a brighter yellow and blue color.

So, when dinofags get a figure that's later proven to be scientifically inaccurate, what do they do with it?
>>11879384nothing inaccurate about em ol chum, it's current paleontology that's inaccurate
Do you customize your dinos?
>>11879384I want highly articulated figures of the Crystal Palace dinosaur statues and Charles Knight paintings.>>11879391Based as fuck.
>>11879374Cool.>>11879517I see what you have done there.>>11879391You have said the actual truth.
>>11878787Just got to a place where I can actually afford BotMs. The Carno is literally something I've wanted for decades and is pretty much perfect. I have a touch of the 'tism so it feels weird not getting every single thing in a line, but since I've already missed so much, I think I can live with buying selectively. Do they do many re-releases? I'd like a raptor m. and Protoceratops, but sticking to 1/18 for big boys and 1/6 for small guys so the ones in this wave don't work for me. Also, pipe dream, but has there been any noise about a sauropod wave? 1/18 Brachy would be fucking amazing, even if it's in the $400 range.
>>11879638>The Carno is literally something I've wanted for decadesdid you know that he comes with changable horns? (short, long and damaged)
>>11879658Oh yeah. Shit is butter, and the fact that most of the ones I've got have swappable elements is another reason I love them. Bagging extra pieces, cards, and instructions is almost much fun as opening the box itself. The joints get loose pretty quick and some of the Cyberzoic armor is a bitch to fit (looking at you, Allo helmet) but that's the trade-off for feeling so wonderfully chunky when held.
>>11878730God this thing looks so good
>>11878748I remember seeing some reviews but i'm always too paranoid to do 3D puzzles because i'm too afraid i will break them
>>11878795>>11878864Nanmu make the Carnotaurus from Disney's Dinosaur and my soul is yours
>>11878934>The smallest Allosaurus species>Could still effortlessly rip a human's arm off
>>11879374Kino
>>11879384I like to use inaccurate toys as fictional species. I make up names for them but that's too autistic to share
>>11879384If it’s a Jurassic Park/World figure or display I use Wu’s cop-out from JW1 that they only look that way because that’s what the park and public wanted them to be like.If it’s not a Jurassic line or display I see the designs as products of their time and said time’s visions. Do we throw out original trilogy Star Wars toys and replace with prequel and sequel characters because special effects are fancier in the prequels and sequels? The answer is no, because they’re snapshots of their IRL eras of sci-fi and are still fun to play with and display. Same for debunked designs due to scientific evidence. I’m not a museum curator, my display shelves are for whatever I like, accurate or not.
>>11879384As long as they still look good, I don't really care. I would kill for an articulate Gwangi or other classic retrosaurs.>>11879391>>11879538Damn, what I would give for articulated Crystal Palace Dinos>>11879638>sauropod waveDavid has gone on the record saying they don't plan on doing any family waves like the Tyrannosaur or Ceratopsians anymore, but we're definitely getting a suropods in the future. Though I think they are starting with smaller ones like Camarasaurus and Amargasaurus.>>11879685I mean A. europeaus was still the size of the Arcotherium. Outside of South America during the Miocene and Pleistocene and maybe Europe during the Eocene, it would basically be the uncontested largest terrestrial carnivore of any Cenozoic ecosystem.The range in size in Allosaur species is crazy. The smallest still weighed as much as a Clydesdale horse, and the largest was 4 tons.
>>11879712
>>11879712I feel like he HAS to eventually do Brontosaurus since it seems he's check-listing all the dino riders species
>>11879816A true 1/18 scale Bronto would be twice as long as the Tyrannosaurus rex and probably four times as heavy and that thing already weighed 6lb, there's no way it would be under $700. The Mythic Legions Dragon is a similar size and is $800. If we get the Bronto it'll probably be 1/35
Does anyone know any good Diplodocus statues/figures?
>>11880081The Haolonggood's one looks goodhttps://lanatime-shop.com/products/haolonggood-diplodocus-model
>>11879899Then i hope Mattel does an HC Brontosaurus. I assume that one would be about as expensive as their Brachiosaurus
>>11880417If Mattel ever does more Hammond Collection sauropods, I will 100% grab them. I regret not getting a second Brachiosaurus
>>11879391>>11879538I'm only settling for scientifically accurate dinosaurs because no one is making retrosaurs. Maybe someone like Silva will give it a go one day. Therapods built like kangaroos would definitely be easier to pose and could probably get away with not needing extra leg configurations.
>my 1:1 Dolores preorder got cancelled I fucking hate Walmart's website so fucking much, man. I almost wish the Hammond Collection had stayed a Target exclusive.
By the way in case anyone here cares about the Distortus rex (which i doubt since it isn't very popular) i recommend picking up the super colossal one because it's pretty much in scale with the HC and if they ever give it a proper HC, i doubt it will be that big
>>11881305Did the designers ever talk about wtf they were thinking? I look at this and have no clue what the plan was.
>>11881491It's just a giant brachycephalic Tyrannosaurus with extra legs. It's not really deeper than that
>>11881491It’s a great stand-in for a Black Series Rancor.
>>11881491Apparently meant to be sympathetic and in pain but nothing in the movie actually implies this. Hell, I'm gonna be so bold and say that this specific toy conveyed it being in pain better then the movies solely because what else are you meant to interpret it's action feature as other then it having a seizure?
>>11881624They always pussy out with this sort of thing. They SAY they are genetic abominations that shouldn't be alive but in the movies they function the same as any other dinosaur which is a shame because i think it could be great if done properly. Just imagine the horrid sounds pugs make while they struggle to breathe but amplified to an animal that weighs 10+ tons. Or maybe a scene where the thing starts convulsing while it and the characters are in a confined space where the mere act of the creature having spasms could crush someone against a wall.Funnily enough, i think they got closer to achieving that concept with the Scorpios which appeared in a cartoon for children but even then i feel like they didn't go far enough
>>11881305>>11881624wouldnt be a half bad design for like a star wars flick
>>11881786A lot of bad JW designs are like that for me. I hate shit like the Giga and the Mutadons in Jurassic Park but take them out of there and put them in Skull Island and i suddenly really like them. Context matters a lot for a design
>>11880766Silva has been being a dumbass who insists on everything being "scientifically accurate" despite the fact that he's now making dragons and dino riders. He needs to get over it and make things people actually want instead of more prehistoric mammals.
>>11881842Fuck you, i want more prehistoric mammals
I want paleozoic critters. Everyone always forgets about the paleozoic. Even Prehistoric Kingdom does
>>11882226I mean outside of dunkleosteus, dimetrodon, and inostrancevia(always incorrectly just called gorgonopsid) there really arent many paleozoic animals that have the same kind of name recognition as the Dinosaurs or the La Brea Ice Age Mammals. And like all three of the onse I named lived tens of millions of years apart in totally different ecosystems. Half the reason I never use Dimetrodon in my parks in JWE is because it just doesnt have any good animals to be placed with.
>>11881305This dude sucked ass in the movie but i actually really like it in Evolution 3. It's animations are oddly cute and has some behaviors that reflect intelligence in a way the I. rex never did for me
>>11881491>hey I want the cloverfield monster to be in jurassic park>that sounds cool man no one has ever done that design before not before cloverfield not after cloverfield not anyone ever that's so cool And that's what happened.
>>11882243It's because Frontier (mostly) knows what the hell they're doing compared to other JW properties. Also having a proper zoo game series on the side probably also helps matters.
>>11878864I want the original jurassic rexy.
are the jw kids animation shows any good?
>>11882660Yes. The first season in particular of Camp Cretaceous is one of the best Jurassic things ever, better than most of the films. It's legitimately intense, feels dangerous, and the characters given room to breathe start to feel far more endearing than the live action casts. The rest is also largely good, but starts to feel a bit more ridiculous And like a kids show just from how much stuff is always happening and how many impossible situations are survived. But still overall far, far better than you probably expect.
Have you guys stopped collecting Mattel stuff? I've reduced my interests to just the Kenner homage stuff, Legacy Reimagined and HC. Still hoping for the JP Helicopter, TLW Trailer and Humvee Snagger.
I got this guy for 20
>>11882660I didn't really enjoy it enough to continue. I felt they were too kid-targeted for me.>>11882731I only ever collected the Hammond Collection stuff when it comes from Mattel. I think the only non-HC figures I have from Mattel are the Rebirth Quetz and a couple of the old Amber collection raptors. Though I am considering getting the JP3 Brachiosaurus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-fgI70Qo3k
>>11882660camp cretaceous is pretty decent once the park goes to shit, just don't go past s3chaos theory is a sequel to cc and from what i saw it was also pretty decent
>>11882834Hell yeah. That's one of Mattel's best in my opinion
>>11882660I think the first 3 seasons are better than any of the Jurassic World movies. Being a cartoon for children makes a lot of the stupid shit much easier to digestSeasons 4 and 5 sucked ass
>>11883177Oh also i never watched CT because of the sour taste seasons 4 and 5 of CC left me with but i've heard it's better
>>11879517>>11879391I like both these guys.
Dinosaurs
man, this recent Hammond Collection wave has been very mediocre.
>>11884092When is this gonna cone out? Blokees showed it off, but all we'vr gotten so far are the small gacha figures
>>11884074What happened? the Giga, Spino and Carno were borderline perfect
>>11884092I can't wait for these. I hope they have some nice variety of species
>>11879683Weren't you on last year's customs/WIP thread sperging about how big the Carnotaurus from the movie was? Or was it earlier this year, I can't recall anymore. Anyways, good to see you still around
>>11884475Yes that was me
>>11885387That dilophosaur's dick is massive
>>11885447kek that reminded me of how the Amber Collection stands were translucent yellow so it looked like the dinosaurs were pissing
>>11884092When does it release?
