Here, I was telling Boki about these. They are HUGELY expensive..... They are from RaderStudios.com The 1/20 scale Supersaurus. It is stated as being five FEET long, and over a foot high at the shoulders.... Here is their 1/20 scale Apatosaur. They have several others, including Baryonyx, and Rex. Tyrannus, I didn't post them, sorry. Maybe later. I also found this, but beyond being a diplodocus, I know nothing about it. The images have been sitting on my computor for a couple of years now... Can you imagine, breaking the tail off of one of these? OMG, I'd be afraid to even look at it. Still, after I win the lottery, I'm gettin' me and Boki one of each........... ;D Here is a really good shot of the new Scleich Allosaurus......snicker. At least it will be once I get done painting the one I will eventually buy. Evil snicker! Aaaaaand here is the Battat Diplodocus squaring off against the Schleich Allo.!!!! So, is it to late to enter the diorama? BWAHAHAHAHAH *sigh* Like I will EVER get my hands on a Battat diplo

Dang!
I'd give my entire collection for that sucker! That is the coolest thing I've seen. They label it life sized, but IRL its only a sub adult. Looks to me that its roughly 25 feet long and 10 feet high. Definitely not a grown Tyrannosaurus. ;D

The t.rex and Triceratops look a little off-balance to me. Highly impressed with the Supersaurus and Diplodocus, though I'd be very nervous of the tails. I imagine they'd be very brittle cast in resin. But I make the distinction that these are expensive limited edition kits, definitely not toys.

Very nice models, but i don't like the Triceratops at all. Teton you would be able to give that Supersaurus a killer paint job.

I need that supersaurus. Why does it have to be so expensive? Papo should do one that size.

The Supersaurus is too thin The Rex and the Triceratops are not worth that.

I like the dinosaurs on the thinner side. I like seeing all the anatomy details, better than pot-bellied animals plodding along. Just asthetically speaking, not based on any science. Can anyone tell us more about the supposed mummified rex skin with impressions of what may be feathers? I had not heard of this find....

The Supersaurus is too thin The Rex and the Triceratops are not worth that. I like the supersaurus and Apato. I agree on the T-rex and Trike not being worth that much $$$... unless you have a deep pocket or new credit card or born rich or won the lottery ;D ;D ;D I would not know where to put something that big anyway ;D Oh, so what's up with the T-rex's head (back)? There seems to be some sort of helmet or something

better than pot-bellied animals plodding along. But that's far more probable. This look makes no sense

Those are the supposed FEATHERS the artist claims were found on another tyrannosaur's skin impressions......

The Supersaurus is too thin Looks pretty much spot on to me. Only thing I'm not totally sure about is the placement of the thumb claws, but I'm not saying they got it wrong.

"there was a structure that appears to be a downy feather found with the skin impressions. " I've never heard of this before. I have heard of Tyrannosaur skin impressions, but they only covered small areas. The skin is described as lightly pebbled and similar to that seen in mummified hadrosaurs.

;D It's probably just collagen fibers, the dominate protein in vertebrates. ;D

The Rex tis a bit thin.
And I don't like the helmet of feathers as boki brought up. It doesn't look natural.
On second thought, there are other T-Rex sculptures I'm willing to buy besides this one..
