That spinosaurus id awesome!!!!! Even the eyes? Personally, I am glad to see that it is distinctive, but I am quite satisfied with my Favourite and Carnegie spinos.

I'm impressed by bullyand. I'll pick up the spino. If past sizes remain similar it should be a bit bigger than the cd stir too.
But more than three fingers?!

Well, even though I apologised for being snarky, and said that I'd accept a good argument for the generic separation of Apatosaurus excelsus, Stoneage makes a personal attack. Lovely. Merry Christmas to you too chum. (By the way, my useless degree is from the University of Lincoln, formerly Land of Leather.) Anyways, Bullyland. I like the Therizinosaurus, but the Spinosaurus seems to have rather bad googly eyes. I guess a repaint could fix that.

Anybody with intact fingers can easily paint over the eyes and re-do them in a second. Of course, you shouldn't HAVE to do that, but I certainly wouldn't let yourself not enjoy a model because of one paint flaw.

I like the new Bullyland figures!
Googly eyes aside, the Spino is not bad. There's something about the pose I really like too.
The Theri (or is it a Nothronychus?) looks very good, except possibly for the oversized head. I'll definitely be getting that one. You can never have too many therizinosaurs! ;D Nice to see that they're finally being made in some numbers these recent years.
Both figures look to be somewhat based on the Planet Dinosaur versions (hence the Theri is possibly a Nothronychus?). They're not on par with CollectA or Safari, but they're excellent by Bullyland standards!

How can they be based on a series that just aired. (by the way, DID that air in the states)?
Wouldn't it take a while to design and produce toys?

I think Schleich is way ahead of Bullyland in terms of quality dinosaur models (or in terms of delivering products that consumers actually want and/or the market dictates) .
That Theri is decent, but the CollectA Theri is exponentially more awesome...
Bullyland is reminiscent of Chap Mei.
Bullyland also makes good prehistoric mammals and ....Mastodonsaurus.

That Theri is decent, but the CollectA Theri is exponentially more awseome... The Collecta does look better. Better-researched if nothing else.

I was just trying to say that someone who has more qualifications disagrees with you. Anyone whose been around long enough knows that I have taken Bakker to task many times. Generally I consider you to be quite knowledgeable even though you don't have a degree in Paleontology. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Land of Leather?

Haha. It's a superstore selling couches and the like. I know what you were saying, and actually I've always liked you, just 'cos you had a cheek. Merry Xmas you old American git.

The positioning of the forelimbs of that Spinosaurus is really similar to those of Papo's...

Interesting figures from Bully. So, it seems they are really going down the way of Chap Mei with all of their articulated figures. Not excited by these ones, although the theriZ I may get anyway. Too bad they gave it such a sloppy paint job! Really, just look at how the white stripes are applied, very amateurish ;D The Spino I can forget... just like the two figures from these year ;D

The pictures of the Bullyland figures look ok, but in reality Bullyland figures are often painted very lousy, especially the teeth and the claws. Furthermore the material of Bullyland figures tends to be easy deformable during hot summer days, so I hope these figures will not have a problem with their upright pose.

I'm impressed with the bully figures. If it wasn't for the fact that CollectA has a better therizinosaurus, I would totally get this one.

It seems that some of the 2012 CollectA dinosaurs are already being sold on ebay. They are being sold from Hong Kong, so the shipping is a tad bit steep.
Any idea when the Schleich 2012 dinosaurs will be sold? I have a 'Funky Monkey" in the neighborhood that primarily sells Schleich prehistoric models. I really want to pick up that Quetz!

Yeah, that's the scam seller I mentioned in the eBay thread. Buy from him at your own risk.

Now that I think about it...it probably is a scam seller--there are no unique pictures of the products featured on his eBay pages (just a bunch of stock photos!). The prices are also unusually high.
