^ It was more massive though, wasn't it? It was like 30 feet long, and the mosasaur was like 40 right? (don't shoot me if I'm a few feet off) And mosasaurs are long and serpentine, so if there was a mosasaur that was heavier than a liopleurodon, I'd really be shocked..

I guess I always envision Liopleurodon as a lot more massive animal because mosasaurs were so long and serpentine. Nah, you envision it as bigger because the BBC wayyyyyyy upped the size on it for WwD ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Yeah Cordy, on the whole a Lio was a much more robust beast overall.
Nah Kuni, I think I first got the monstrous Lio impression from a Dino comic book I had during the early 90's where one terrorizes a group of pregnant Ichthys. Although, to be sure, WWD certainly didn't help clear up any size discrepancies.

Thought so... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I'm glad somebody is finally making an accurate pliosaur... And the good news is, it probably won't be pulled for another few years, unlike the WwD's which were pulled after only a couple years ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

For those of you who were wondering what the price range for the 2010 Carnegie Collection Ichthyosaurus and Cryolophosaurus will be,Link and Pin Hobbies has them listed at $9.98 for the Ichthyosaurus and $10.98 for the Cryolophosaurus.

That sounds right for the medium sized figures. ^

Ah shucks, but no pics yet! ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Yeah, those prices sound about right to me too. Although, Link & Pin are usually a little higher than others. So, keep an eye on TGFToys. There's should even be a little less! ;D *Question... Since I've never purchased any of their Tube animals before, how big are they usually? They're probably bigger than Kaiyodos, right?

Pretty much identical to Kaiyodo sizes.

You sound like you are badly in need of a cup of tea. LOL.
I hope your day gets better for you.

Maybe, but he is right, pretty much. Carnegie has one apato, WS one, and Galaxy one. Now, we get another. I will alway welcome a sauropod from them, but it is a serious retread.....as for the liop, we really need for a company to not just break, but shatter that color mould.....

Although I do admit their brachi and apato need to be retired and new full 1/40 ones made.

Happy to see that the new Carnegie figures won't break the bank! I'm looking forward to that Cryolophosaurus. I guess in a way it's a shame that they are rehashing some old models and those already done by other companies, but the results with the Spinosaurus and Diplodocus they did last year were goregeous.
Until Procon came along, I think the Carnegie line had the 'new, weird dinosaur' niche pretty well locked up. Critters like Beipaiosaurus, Caudipteryx, and Microraptor are still being gawked at for their unfamiliarity amongst not-obcessed-but-still-interested dinosaur fans, and they got a great figures to help make them household names. Going with the classics seems like backtracking, in my opinion.

They did a kronosaurus, and that was terrible. This new liopleurodon will most likely be absolutely fantastic, 'specially if DTF himself helped with it. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) And I don't think anybody minds the new brachi and apato, because, well... They're great. That brachiosaurus must be the most accurate ever, and it also looks very "alive", moreso than their old brachi. And the new apato looks great too. It looks very realistic and it is based on some recent scientific papers (it seems...) and they even got the feet right! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I think that's why nobody minds the re-dos ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Going with the classics seems like backtracking, in my opinion. I'm all for putting out models of lesser known species. However, I also think that the well known ones need to be well represented. Their sauropods were in need of a facelift. I think WS did a good job mixing the animals that the general public may not be familiar with (kentrosaurus and most of the critters in the toob) with some old friends like brachi and apato.
