Sideshow's 5th Dino Mystery Photo

[mightyjptrex]

This was found on Sideshows website under the Comic Con Teaser video. This is the only part of the dino they showed it should be revealed their today at the Comic Con. What the heck is it it's going to drive me insane!

[Ajax]

Hmmm, Spikey. Maybe a Kentrosaurus?

[ikessauro]

THERIZINOSAURUS CLAWS??

[Dan]

Hm. I hate to say it, but these look identical to the spikes of the Styracosaurus.



When did they say #5 would be officially unveiled? I thought the Allo v. Steg was already the strongest candidate.

[mightyjptrex]

They look like Styracosaurus the only thing is why would they keep it such a secret if it was already released. Also the video came out after the Styracosaurus was released. The video was released last Thursday. A while after the Styracosaurus.

Teasers might be composed of any number of graphical elements. I don't think this image shows the new product. I don't know, the resemblance just seems too strong to ignore.

But if was part of some Kentrosaur vs. Allosaurus diorama, you wouldn't hear any complaints from me!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I'd have to agree with Dan..these look a lot like the Styrac's horns... :/

[Tyrannax]

That, or a different Caratopsian.

I doubt it's the Styracosaurus.

These horns are different from the Styracosaur's.

Looks to me like a Kentrosaur or Ankylosaur.

[mightyjptrex]

The one on the left is very skinny. It bet it's a Kentrosaurus vs. Allosaurus. ;D

I think it's the Styracosaurus as well.
It's probably the first time it'll be shown to the public, it may be revealed but it's not yet available.
So it'll be like "you can look but you can't touch, yet"!

[Dan]

Oh, no. The Sideshow pieces are always "look before touching". Kind of like girlfriends, eh guys? Eh? Bah, nevermind.

Anyway, they typically reveal the figure well in advance of releasing it for purchase. Helps to drum up interest and preorders. For example, the Limited Edition Styracosaurus isn't going to be released until 2010, but it's actually already sold out!

I will bet it is the styracosaurus as well. The horn coloring is the same, and the longer spike shows the same bump, or joint that the styracos larger central spikes do.

I don't see how these would line up like this on a Kentrosaurus..

[mightyjptrex]

The only thing i'm confused with is all the products shown on the video have not been released to the public to pre order they are not on their website. We will have to wait and see!

My points exactly...looks too similar, the color should be diff a little bit at least...and I can't quite place the orientation myself either for a new piece..but the the little tip i nthe foreground is prob the snout horn and the two in the background from the shield.

Phone call from Sideshow five minutes ago regarding Comic-Con and Sideshow's new Dinosauria product announcements:

"I would expect to hear something."

[mightyjptrex]

Was it a recorded message? If so maybe someone should talk to customer service?

[Dan]

LoL. No, silly. I had a pleasant conversation with one of their sales managers. It means that, in all likelihood, we will hear least one new Dinosauria product announced at Comic Con.

[mightyjptrex]

Nice can't wait. Thanks for the info Dan!
