That Sucho had more problems than balance...and Suchomimus is my 2nd fav dinosaur.
They really need to redo him in the WS line.

I have to agree--I am a pretty big fan of the spinosaurid dinos, but I have no interest in that Suchomimus. It is very likely a last holdover sculpt before they changed to a dedicated sculptor. For decent Suchomimus, either Dinotales one is great, and even the small Dino King figure is really well done (and it's colours aren't even that bad--just a light green!).  But, as yet, there are no larger figures of this animal (unless you agree that Suchomimus is synonymous with Baryonyx, in which case there are several!). |

I have the Kaiyodo & Dino King, very nice figs. There was also the Chap Mei sucho which I think was more like a baryonyx. I used to have it but I sold it, I didnt like the short tail.

I know--I have two versions of that Chap Mei (one is black, one is red), and they would be great, if their tails weren't so ridiculously short. |

Oooh, definitely need the Velociraptor! Is he even bigger than the Bullyland? Like the Herrera too, and I've already caved and bought the Afrovenator and Eotyrannus (so ugly he's cute... and currently getting a slightly more interesting paintjob). Looks like they're still doing big awkward feet, though? Yap. He is also bigger than the tiger striped Safari one  |

ugh I was looking forward to the lufengo b/c there's a severe lack of prosauropod figs but what an ugly head! Same with herrerasaurus! ] Um, well, the Lufengo's head is not any uglier than the other figures, yes? I think in general prosauropods are not very "pretty faced" animals. Here he is with the other larger figures:  The lovely herd   |

I'm def getting that Velociraptor...looks a lot like the ones the Discovery channel did..which I actually liked a lot. ;D
The best head of the prosauropod group looks to be the tallest one..but it looks to lose detail as it progresses from there to the rest of the body...shame you can't switch the heads.. :/

I think I'll get that Velociraptor as it's the best one any toy manufacturer has put out for ages. Safari's one would've been great if it wasn't bald...

Oh, the procon velociraptor isn't as huge as I'd expected - it looks almost the same size as the DOC velociraptor just a little fatter. I guess the feathers make the 19.99 price tag for me....

Oops I somehow didn´t notice this thread yet. I´m surprised what a good job CollectA did on the Jobaria and the Herrerasaurus.
And I´m happy boki is back with his famous black background - group pictures.
Those prosauropod heads look like these goofy kin pictures, when uncle Klaus or aunt Hannelore hastily try to be on the picture, too.

Just heard from Peter Leung of CollectA/Procn re: Rhomaleosaurus figure.
According to him, the mold has to be redone due to some new latest fossil information they just received from the UK. Maybe Adam sent them info ;D
Anyway, it looks like this figure is still a go for 2010, but much later, in September.
It would be interesting to see how different it looks from the original prototype.

And more importantly--who now has the original prototype? Keep your eyes open, it's destined to appear sooner or later. |
