SEGA Dinoking figures

[bokisaurus]

;D, looks like we all got our figures around the same time since mine arrived yesterday ;D
Well, I decided to start a new thread since I'm going to share pictures of the figures I just got. The figures are good looking considering they are based on a video game. They are not very accurate or highly detailed, although some are close. I went for the figures that interested me the most first, so I mostly got the ceratopsians, the duckbills, and sauropods. Then there are those random figures like the Theri and Deinonychus. The figures are worth adding to any collections; they are not so expensive and all are interesting looking that are sure conversation piece (Theri, Deinonychus comes to mind )
So here they are, the Dinoking figures!

My latest additions: Para, Styraco,Salta,Saurolopus,Futabasaurus,and Spino. IMHO, the Spino is the least exciting of the bunch followed by the Salta I'm afraid. My favorites are the Saurolopus, Fata, Para, and Styraco.

And there you have it! I hope you all enjoyed the show. I hope this satisfied everyones curiosity regarding how the figures look like close-up.
I'm sure you all already know what I had to do to afford all of the new ones I just got ;D
Now I am hunting for the really cool looking Achelousaurus, pachyrhinosaurus, and Titanosaurus!

Ouch! I think you are missing the point on these figures. They are designed to be stylized and not your typical figures, thats what makes them interesting and different,IMHO. I'm sure others will agree with you, but oh well... let the bashing begins

The Stego was not one of the available figures at that time so I don't have him...yet ;D
Based on the picture, he looks cool.

Great pics as always!

The paint job is pretty scandalous.

Now as before I find them too anime for my taste i wouldn't be as rude as CT but yes, the Futaba is the only one I would buy

But who doesn't love the Tyrannosaurus?? I just got him in and i'll upload a pic or two soon.

[tomhet]

I certainly don't love him ;D

I think they look fine all things considered..and if it's the paint job..you can ALWAYS repaint...

[tomhet]

Unfortunately it's not only the paint job, I'm not exactly thrilled by the Pokemon-ish look

To each his own, of course.

The Triceratops looks like a bath toy i had when i was a little kid. lol

[sbell]

I still need the Futaba though...

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I don't know..I've seen Pokemon and Digimon..the kids here were nuts about em' at one point..even Yugioh..and I think these look better than those...it's just the paint jobs..the detail is there..it just needs a better hand to bring it out I think.

;D Believe me, there is a more Pokimonish looking figure out! And you know what, they cost more than these figures! Unbelievable! I think Mollarlion posted a picture of them in his vinyl post. The figures look a lot better in person, I think. The details is there. I'm actually surprised considering these guys are based on a video game. I love the Saurolophus, I think he looks cool (with is yellow and purple outfit ;D) Makes a good date with the Tyco one, they match ;D
But again, how many figures of this species are there out? Not much. Like every other line out, they are inconsistent in their figures. Some have more details and interesting color patters while others look like they forgot to add any details and coloring touches ;D
So why is it that everyone like the plesio and not the others? ( I know I will regret this question ) Is it because he is new species? Not many Marine reptile figures? Good sculpting?

[Tyrannax]

The Therizinosaurus looks like Gigan from Godzilla....but in chicken form. But I like em cuz I always need a buddy when its bath time.

Exactly what i'm thinkin'...

[Dinotoyforum]

I quite like this line overall. The paint jobs are fun!
You guys are just scared to be adventurous and spice up your collections

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

If they were here and cheaper I might buy em'...so I'll wait til next year I guess...I really also want that feeling of getting a dino line from a store walmart again...I think it's been..gee.. since the last JP figures were released.

Spice up our collections with neon hunks of plastic? I'm sorry, but the catalouge shots of these looked way better..
