Hm, I could see it in Safari but not Firefox. Ah well.
The Coelacanth is stunning - I wonder if Safari is considering it a prehistoric figure or an animal figure?
The other two are not bad either. I can see why boki said "Procon"-ish, but IMO, these are Procon done the right way - lots of detail but with a simpler paintjob. Kevin will have a field day...

I believe that Safari is viewing the coelacanth as "prehistoric," intriguingly, as the image was sent to me on a CD labeled "WS Dinos," in conjunction with the Cryptomundo interview I requested for the exclusive announcement.

Ah, well I suppose it won't matter if I elaborate on the WS Coelacanth, if this has already been officially unveiled.
The figure is basically blue, and peppered with white spots. The definition in the fins and scales seem to pop nicely in terms of texture, probably because of the simple paint scheme that appears on this prototype image. The dimensions are listed as 14.6 cm by 7.6 cm, a nice size for a collectible, but I would say it is one of the less impressive looking figures for Safari's 2010 lineup.

I'm actually thrilled at the ~6 inch range for a lot of these, it means I'll be able to store them easily.

Loren, none of the images you posted are showing up in my browser, I just see little "[image]" tags.

I don't know what to say. If you can view from Safari, that seems to work.
In the meantime, I'll see if I can have a techie at Cryptomundo work on it.
Sorry. I can see them so it never dawned on me no one else could.

I could post scans, but they wouldn't as high quality as the digital stock photos. Plus, I wouldn't want to steal Loren's thunder.  Loren, if you want to send them to me I can put them on my own server. Never had any problems with it so far. |

Ah, there ya go. Nice work. They look a bit rougher than they do in the catalog, but otherwise spot-on. That is one nice pterosaur.

They have now been saved in duplicates in .tif and .jpg files at Cryptomundo. Sorry, for any technical difficulties.

I'm curious what the pricepoint on the new WS figs will be - closer to a Scutosaurus or a Postosuchus?
My guess is 4.99 for the dino and ptero, and possibly 7.99 for the fish.

I distinctly remeber the kentrosaurus being on the "safari recomendations" thread we made a while back.
So these are the 2010 offerings we were discussing last couple of weeks that everybody was so hush hush over?
