Well. There it is. I guess a super-articulated wooly mammoth is a thing I'm going to own, now.

Wave 2 of the Hammond Collection (Concavenator, Geosternbergia, Ankylosaurus, the JP3 male Raptor, Pachycephalosaurus, Arnold and Muldoon) is now [url=
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?H ... ctType=321]up at BBTS[/url]. This'll likely be your best place to get them, what with Mattel canceling half of the other pre orders.
The two-pack of JP3 Alan and the female raptor popped up on Amazon but has now become unavailable and hasn't popped up elsewhere.

Re: Beasts of the Mesozoic, Jurassic World, & other Dinosaurs thread!
Picked up the Dilo and it's definitely my favorite of the three. The frill accessories are nice (a Barbasol can would've been funny). One of the elbows joints on mine is kinda loose but no real complaints. I'll probably pick up the Triceratops next just to keep the JP1 theme going.tbeasley wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 4:21 pm Having a major soft spot for the JP1 dinosaurs I picked up the Hammond Collection Velociraptor and Gallimimus. They're nice for what they are for figures in this price and size range, although they do look better with their mouths closed. The Galli is actually a bit nicer than the Raptor.
I'll definitely get the Dilophosaurus if I see it and maybe the Pachycephalosaurus (as a big Lost World fan).

Ordered Nanmu's Mordred off BBTS. The green paint scheme is gorgeous but I had to go with the Ultimasaurus variant.

Re: Beasts of the Mesozoic, Jurassic World, & other Dinosaurs thread!
I got the Mattel Dreadnoughtus. Man, that is a big toy. Very impressive and attention grabbing. The neck is a little awkwardly designed; I would have liked a joint that can raise and lower the head. It's a Mattel figure, though, so the level of articulation we got is plenty. It's not as nice sculpt-wise as the Brachiosaurus, either, but it works. I do like the dark color scheme. It stands out a bit more starkly than the Brachiosaurus.
There's apparently a Mattel Mamenchisaurus on the way, too. Pictures of the prototype surfaced the other day. Hopefully it isn't final, because the proportions could use work; the neck looks too short relative to the tail.

Totally going to back this and get one of the unpainted spinos and paint it up.

This could very well be the definitive Spinosaurus figure on the market if it's successful (until the next discovery/paper, at least); and more dinosaurs could be on the way.

Who's beautiful? The WWD T. rex, that's who's beautiful!
My first pledged figure from the camapaign arrived two days ago, and I've had difficulty putting it down. The articulation is very good overall, and the figure can hold a number of poses with little to know extra support (at least briefly). The sculpting and paint job are excellent, of course; overall this is a great model and definitely one of the best T. rexes out there.

^I'm afraid the campaign ended a while ago; however I do think the team hopes to expand to retailers in the future for wider sales.shadowgigan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 8:17 am Totally going to back this and get one of the unpainted spinos and paint it up. Thanks for the link!

Man...my reading comprehension has been less than stellar lately. I messaged him to see if I could still get one. Not expecting a yes but who knows.
Well since I can't get that, I'm really considering picking this Rex up from DeClay studios.

That Rex is neat. I really wished the big one got the WWD paintjob instead of that ugly green and orange they gave it. I actually would've bought it then. But the little one is neat. Maybe ill get it at some point.

Re: Beasts of the Mesozoic, Jurassic World, & other Dinosaurs thread!
David is now working on the 1/18th Wave 2 BOTM raptors which will, in a fun surprise, have new color schemes! We'll be getting batelaur Adasaurus, hoatzin Balaur, RED-footed booby Acheroraptor, and a Stellar's Jay Atrociraptor. This along with little bits of news on Cyberzoic (such as a new Lizard Dragon, Deinonychus concept art, and so on) and our first look at the BOTC Smilodon!
https://twitter.com/Beast_SculptKit/sta ... hbykQ&s=19
All this is leading up to the "first" Kickstarter for Cyberzoic on October 3rd
As for Mattel, there's been some reveals for the 30th anniversary. A Triceratops that honestly should have been the Hammond Collection, leaks of the 30th anniversary line (including a Scutosaurus and "real feel" rex) and of course, this year's Hammond Collection wave.
Small: Nedry, Hammond, Baby T. Rex
Medium: Juvenile Stegosaurus, Corythosaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, Irritator
Large: a new T. Rex (Lost World?), Brachiosaurus

Re: Beasts of the Mesozoic, Jurassic World, & other Dinosaurs thread!
I ordered my first PNSO figure: Wyatt the Parasaurolophus. $46 shipped from Amazon, and it'll get here on Friday. PNSO is a little pricy, but their figures look worth it; Wyatt is definitely the nicest looking representation of his species I'm aware of.

Re: Beasts of the Mesozoic, Jurassic World, & other Dinosaurs thread!
PNSO is very good; I agree they can be a bit expensive, but I haven't regretted purchasing any of them so far.
The key is to watch for sales and discounts, so you can shave off at least a few dollars.
PNSO's newest announcement is an updated Lucas the Giganotosaurus for the Museum line - which means it'll be overpriced, but it does look like one of the best Giga models to date.

^ Very nice. If I like the Parasaurolophus, I'll definitely be going back for more. I have my eye on the Therizinosaurus, Deinocheirus, Yutyrannus, and Pinacosaurus, especially.
