SEGA vs X-Plus

[bokisaurus]

So who wins? ;D What we have here are the BIG guys in dinosaur figure land ;D
I normally would not get such huge figures for I don't have room for them, but I just have to get these sets! They are simply amazing and very well detailed.
The X-Plus figures I got a few years ago. The SEGA I just recently got, I fear they will be extinct soon, so I saved up enough mulah to buy both the T-Rex and Triceratops.
The Triceratops comes in two different versions, a yellow/orange one and a tan. The Tan figures front legs are articulated, but the orange one is not, interesting.
The T-rex is unusual that it is one of the few figures that has ridges on it's back.
The SEGA figures are sculpted by famed Japanese artist Shinzen and Hirokazu Tokugawa. I am not sure who sculpted the X-Plus figures, Araki perhaps?The two sets of figures go very well together. It is a shame that the lines were not continued, although the SEGA did have more figure, but, unfortunately, are next to impossible to acquire outside of Japan
So here they are, the Battle of the Titans ;D

The pair from SEGA:


The T-rex:


And the Two versions of Triceratops:

One more time ;D
... the orange version...

... and the tan...


The X-Plus duo:


The Albertosaurus:


The Styracosaurus pair ( yes, he looks very anorexic ;D)


The Battle!
T-Rex vs Albertosaurus:impressive together!


Styracosaurus vs Triceratops: Oh, the beauty! ;D


Hope you enjoyed the show! Who won? You decide! ;D I highly recommend both sets of figures, they are worth the $$$ ;D
Till next time!
Boki ;D

That would be these, yes? I have been wondering about them for some time, but it is just too much money right now.

I need to buy those segas soon

Where does one find the X-plus Styraco? Anorexic or not, it's a great sculpt.

^ Every few weeks I come across the X-Plus styracosaurus and albertosaurus on feeBay There's one now in eBay Stores, but it's slightly more expensive than the going rate

The sculpting is very similar, but the figures are extremely off scale.

I need the Sega T-Rex. It looks good, and as of now I only have Red T-Rex Plastic Toy.

You can get the styraco on amazon as well, for 14.99 I think. Otherwise try Monsters in Motion, they have both, at 17.99 each.

Very true ;D The only place I have found the SEGA is Amazon. The pair goes for $52.00.

[tetonbabydoll]

You can get them separately too, but they are stil expensive.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

They are no where near as expensive as I've seen them....the T-Rex alone went for 100.00 at the Dinosaur Farm...and my set came from Yahoo Japan before those showed up on Amazon...I was lucky not to have been outbid.


The X-Plus figures were Araki and Shinzen from what I remember about my research into the subject.....there were pics of a coming Rex that was never produced...however it was touched up and made into the vinyl 2005 King Kong V-Rex by X-Plus...

There is also another Sega Rex that was released in a couple color variations...

He has a little trouble standing on the base, but it's still a great piece..;D

[Seijun]

My Sega rex just came! He's gorgeous, but I do have one question.. Is there some special trick to getting his tail on??

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

If I remember correctly, you just have to heat it up a little.. say with a hairdryer til it becomes pliable and then just push it in..you can add a little super glue if you after that..but it;s not neccesary and I've never had to do so with mine.

I had to heat the tails up on my Godzilla 2000 and Gamera figures... they make them with the tail removed so they will fit in the machines better I guess.

Make sure to wrap the tail with towel BEFORE you try and push that tail in! I got cut by those spikes! Yah, heat it up a bit using hair dryer will help, so is turning it as you push it in. Just be very careful with those tail spikes! ;D
