I've always felt that the Battat Amargasaurus is a very life-like figure.

It's 1:40 scale I believe.

I think the Kaiyodo's are very life-like (mostly the prehistoric fishes and amphibians) They are small but have a lot of details.

BUT, do having an decent sculpt and nice paint jobs equal life like? Some of those mentioned, like the WWD--especially the Torosaurus -- have very stiff and rigid poses. Not naturalistic at all. Even though an animal may be inaccurate, or have a blah paint job, it can still appear to be more life like than far more accurate, but stiffer, figures.

Hello everybody.

The list has been updated, so check it out! ;D

Be aware that its unsorted, I've just adding your suggestions chronologically. The final list will be sorted by brand and by Most like life of each sub-list. So, rigid poses may fall in last place of each sub-list, except when the sculpt or paint-job is really amazing.

The FINAL list will be a FILE (Maybe pptx or xlsx). It will include the Brand, Name of the Figure, Scale (or size), IMAGE (not giant, but big and clear enough), and maybe Notes. :o

There're a lot of scales missing. There're a ton of pics missing. So contribute please. ??? :'(

If you don't want to hotlink a ton of pictures, just post the links or send them to me via PM.

Another request. Please be specific when suggesting a life like figure, don't just say "The entire line XYZ is life like", may be you are right, but it wont make in to the list that way.

Hope to see more suggestions.

Thanks you all.

Battat Triceratops (1/40) and miasaura (1/40).

Kinto Favorite Tyrannosaurus (1/50), Allosaurus (1/50), and "ankylosaurus". (1/50 for Ankylo, 1/40 if Euoplacephalus, which it really is. ).

And, yes, the Battat Amargasaurus is 1/40.

I don't like the Favorite Allosaurus at all - it's a bit of a let down when compared with the Tyrannosaurus. The Wild Safari Allosaurus is much better and a similar size.

Personal taste. I like the Kinto's pose and vibe better. I find the WS stiff. More accurate, but less life-like. Well, for me anyway.

Some other Battats you could add are the Triceratops and Utahraptor. The Triceratops has a very nice pose. The Utahraptor's pose seems odd at first, but it allows for it to be attached to the backs of the herbivorous dinosaur figures in the line quite well, as if it was attacking them.

Thanks everybody.

Still receiving suggestions for the list. Of course, its updated now.
My next candidate is CollectA:

Styracosaurus
[image]
Size: L 14cm
Highlights: Nice skin folds. Good detail. Super scared pose (Remind me a scared elephant).

Checkout the list. And if you have another life-like candidate post it.
Also if you know the scale of any of the models, or want to do a little research about it, post it.

Thanks.

Shouldn't you consolidate Wild Safari and Safari?

Should i?
I know that Safari, WildSafari and even Carnegie collection are from Safari Ltd. But i don't know if mix them all will cause confusion to newcommers.

If other members suggest the consolidation, it will be done.

And as you know. i'm new in collecting. So, can someone clarify to me what UHA means?

Thanks.

Well, I should clarify, there is no separate Safari, Wild Safari. They are just one, Wild Safari but I just shortened it to Safari. Sorry for the confusion. Move my Safari entries to Wild Safari.

Papo Ankylosaurus is almost perfect, all you have to do is call it a Euoplocephelus.

also, the Carnegie Diplodocus and new Brachiosaurus look like natural beauty's.

and CollectAs new Neovenator looks like it could fit the realistic bill. along with there Sarchosucus and Brontotherium.

actually, there are tons that could fit ( please forgive my spelling for its not the best)

Papo
Ankylosaurus
Smilodon
Mammoth

Safari/Carnegie
Diplodocus
new Brachiosaurus
Dilophosaurus
postosuchus
parasuoroluphus(repainted edition)
Oviraptor nest
Scutosaurus
Kentrosaurus
Nigersaurus
Carnotaurus 2011

CollectA
Jobaria
