These are made by Sega, I think they are the same scale as the Happinet series, but i can't be sure until i get my hands on one (i ordered four but i probably won't get them for a few months) Can anyone help me identify the unnamed ones near the bottom?

32 is a yangchuanosaurus 25 -- saurophaganax 31 -- majungasaurus I'll do some research on the rest (they aren't on the kyoryu-king website yet, but I'll guess 34 is einiosaurus & 35 is pachyrhinosaurus.

What is wrong with that Deinonychus's head?!
Feathers are one thing, but that looks like a crest that has never ever been seen in any fossil material!

BUT I completely agree with you about Luis Rey going off on insane tangents-I completely lost most of my respect for his when I saw feathers on a Ceratopsian. A BLOODY CERATOPSIAN!!! I was looking at it in a book with other paleontology grad students, and you could feel the same thought pass through everyone's mind at the same time--WTF? If for no other reason than, cladistically, Ceratopsians are so far removed from coelurosaurs that trying to pretend they share a highly derived feature like feathers is loony-bin speculation at best, and terrible science at worst (I am leaning to the latter here). You might as well speculate Rausisuchians and Aetosaurs had feathers too.

Rey also put feathers on allosaurus, cryolophosaurus, and almost every theropod come to think of it (in A Field Guide to Dinosaurs), and Raul Felder clad them on a parasaurolophus. Yup, a fluffy hadrosaur

And Sega is continuing the error of portraying megaraptor as a dromeosaur. Otherwise though there are some nice theropods and ceratopsians in this line, though the colour schemes betray their anime origins (a pink pawpawsaurus? )

Isisaurus according to me: It's a very unorthodox titanosaur... Thing that bugs me about these figs is that their limbs are too robust...too thick. But, where can I buy these from?

Numbers 25-36 aren't available yet as far as I can tell. They definitely aren't listed for sale on sites like Bidders or Rakuten along with the others. I only discovered them by checking the main sega japan website. That's why I was only able to translate a few of the unreleased figures' names.. the sega site has the names in a stylized graphic gif instead of a standard kanji font that i can (amaturishly) make sense of. Add a little bling to a japanese character and i'm just lost. I'll post some links and update the names on that image tonight

These are fantastic! I love them, despite their apparent chunkiness. Lots of less well known taxa! Any clue if these will be available stateside?

Except for 34-36, most of the dinos are available on Yahoo Japan

Perhaps it's best not to make much mention of Nos 7-12. Here's No. 11:
