elasmosaurus?

[landrover]

I will be buying a Elasmosaurus, and I want to know your opinion, what is the best figure?

[therizinosaurus]

I know the Schliech one is very good, but now OOP and hard to find. The Carnegie one is sub-par, but the Bullyland and Kinto (actually a Plesiosaurus I think) are very good figures.

Seconded!

Although the kinto is actually a Plesiosaurus. The elasmos' necks by bullyland are all a little too "wavy". Schleich probably has the best neck, but the eyes are in the temporal fenestrae (if you don't know, they are way too far back on the head).

Kaiyodo make a very nice Elasmosaurus for their series 7 dinotales line, but the pose of the front flippers is a little extreme.

I'd go to either schleich or kaiyodo!

If you are looking for just an Elasmosaurus-proper, the Schleich one is worth hunting down (and paying a premium for); The Bullyland is pretty good too.

If it is just long-necked plesiosaurs in general, I would say the CollectA Hyrdotherosaurus or the Kinto Plesiosaurus are better.

Of course in retro and no-accurate elasmos, Invicta is an extremely elegant swan-like creature.

It has no face though!

[Dinotoyforum]

If you are looking for a general long-necked plesiosaur then I agree that the Invicta one is the best. Although the neck is raised it isn't too extreme. And the painted version even has a face, well eyes at least!

[foxilized]

I think some older versions had a face. Mine not, tought it's kinda chewed and I think it had once some sort of mouth and teeth. Still without face is a cool design.

[therizinosaurus]

Yeah, I forgot about the Invicta one, it's very "classy", it looks so majestic (but then again all invicta figures do in a way).

[bokisaurus]

Ok, here is some visual aid to help yah Most of the figures mentioned are in the photo, you can see how they all compare to each other Good luck! ;D

I feel like a complete idiot--because we all missed the best plesioisaur figure of them all.

Just read the thread for the pictures.

It is not a toy, i.e. for playing with, but it is superb.

Duh? So do I!
But here it is:

The Kinto one, a closer look

And the "Unofficial" Plesio: Lock Ness ;D Here you see it and the Kinto figure being terrorized by the Safari Tylo

Graceful Invicta ones:

the darker one is a unusual material, it has a hallow ring to it, feel like metal or something very similar, anyone knows if there is such a thing?

That's not elasmosaurus though!
