if it isn't a reboot of definitely dinosaurs, then i do not care

Finally a fucking dinosaur thread

>>11724781
>hopefully this will force David to finally improve his dogshit paint apps
Hope Nanmu does too

Speaking of T. rex and Creative Beast, the 2.0 they showed off on stream actually looked alright in terms of movement. It's basically what the first one should've been to begin with. Though, inevitably, it'll be ruined by the paint.

>>11724858
Obviously, but this is more comparable since they're both doing plausible reconstructions rather than film creatures.

>>11724866
>but this is more comparable since they're both doing plausible reconstructions rather than film creatures.
True, true

>>11724781
Where are it's feathers?

So, I PO’s 2 andrewsarchuses from Creative beast. One I’m keeping as-is but the other I’m gonna do a head-transplant onto the upcoming movie version of MOTU’s Battle Cat and mod the claws into hooves so I can have the all-but-disproven mesonychian reconstruction in articulated form. Thoughts?

>>11725154
That sounds epic

>>11724781
You know at first i was sad it lacked a mid-torso cut but the BOTM rex might as well not have it so it's the same

>>11725185
I can only hope the CB Andrewsarchus head won’t be too small on the new battle cat, assuming it’s the same size as the Revelations one.

>>11725195
The guy who runs PNSO is super autistic about anatomy. The real animal wouldn't be able to bend there, so the figure can't either.

Gotta find some clothes to put him in, like a wifebeater or something

>>11724781
if dinosaurs ever actually existed i would be all in on dinosaur action figures. to the nth degree. but i'm not weed brained cattle who believes mainstream academia's lies so it is a real turn off.

>>11725496
with all due respect, Sir, this is /toy/, not /pol/

>>11725501
>people who like action figures don't have the capacity for critical thinking
for the vast majority you are correct

>>11725501
my point isn't about whether or not dinosaurs existed at all, but rather how is the discussion about that topic even tangentially related to this board in the first place?

Guess the guy who runs PNSO finally caved in huh? I know he was an advocate for lipless Rex for the longest time.

>>11725353
Kek

>>11725744
He caved a while ago, when that one paper came out. Their theropods have been lipped since the yangchuanosaurus.

>>11725744
He did a while ago. If he is truly smart he will give it two heads one with lips and one without

oh hey, finally another dinosaur thread.
Anybody else pre-order their Nanmu Rex off of BBTS?
Was curious because now that everyone else seems to be getting theirs, mine still hasn't shipped, and I wanted to check and see if that's just a "BBTS takes longer than other stores" thing or not.
I only ask because I have literally never pre-ordered a toy before and so anything even going slightly not to plan is making me paranoid that my order specifically is fucked for some reason.

>>11725052
Wow this looks good. If the retard can actually release more things and stop posting about how terrible his life is and how he can't do anything ever he'd be doing alright.

>>11724781
Exciting stuff, hope they don't just stick to very well known species for these now that they're doing articulation. They've done so many interesting models over the years, would hate for them to start back at just basic dinos now that they're experimenting with articulation. Their water creatures and fliers have been stellar, hope we see some of them get this treatment.

>>11726263
BBTS will literally not get it for months compared to everyone else. They are good for guaranteed orders that you don't need to pay for until they're in, and of course the cheap combined shipping. But they make up for this with higher prices and they choose boat shipping for all their stuff to allow for the cheap combined shipping. This means while every other retailer gets stuff off a plane and to you in a few weeks max, BBTS will be much, much longer. But don't panic, totally normal.

>>11726296
Alright, good to know, thank, anon.
My only real context with BBTS was two other orders I made before for SHF dragon ball stuff, and since one of those things came in and was available for normal order while it was still only available for pre-order on Amazon, I just assumed that meant BBTS was good about getting newer things shipped out faster.
Guess I just gotta be patient.

>>11726263
Dinosaurs should be used more in medieval settings specially if said setting is meant to be somewhat grounded. They are the closest thing the planet has had to dragons except for maybe the giant pterosaurs

>>11725353
this excuse would be fine if any of these actually had decent revoltech esque articulation that allowed things like the head and neck to have really great range of motion, or the legs to actually be able to get into crouching positions etc, but they're all barely movable. I don't know why we've needed 150 releases from Creative Beast Studio before they started to improve articulation but it's annoying as fuck. Like they really could just print a few of them, and improve them, and print a few more, and improve them. Go through a few rounds of prototypes instead of selling people a hundred different releases at $100+ each before they bother.

Speelboer sure are taking their sweet time getting the Nanmu rexes in stock.

>>11726346
It's insane how much BOTM articulation can improve if you just shave down some of the plastic between the joints. Makes me wonder why they aren't like that by default

>>11726376
>Makes me wonder why they aren't like that by default
Cuz Ross is a dumbass.

>>11726346
>>11726376
>>11726383
I truly don't understand it. The entire thing is that every release is the most articulated dinosaur ever, and then the engineering for most of them means that despite being made out of 25-35+ separate pieces many of them have stiff limbs, even stiffer necks and torsos and mouths that can barely open etc. I get that for decades we had basically only dino statues but damn. It always feels like such a chore moving most of these guys around for me. At least the small ones are nice and easy and pose pretty well.

>>11726383
Who's Ross

>>11726455
He designs the articulation on all the figures.

Something i've realized with BOTM articulation is that if you are rough with them you get a little bit more range. I feel people are too scared of breaking them that they don't move them to their full potential. Still not as good as something like Nanmu tho

Still new to the line and I have to agree with this. I've noticed the same, though, I am a little gun-shy after the foot peg tore off when I tried to remove it from one of my Dromeosaurus when I was just trying to change out one of the swappable feet. Granted, as far as I'm aware it's also one of their oldest figures so I suppose that checks out.
But the legs especially have way better range if you just push it a little further than you might think may be okay. Most especially in how high they can kick. The legs can go so much higher than I think most are willing to try.
Here's hoping that 2.0 Rex is successful and it makes them reevaluate how important real goddamned articulation is.

All I'm saying is, if Haolonggood isn't the first company to make a Haolong toy, then there is truly no God. Also BoTM is making a Spicomellus and I'm just wondering how the spikes are gonna be. Because it's one of three things.
>Frail as fuck and break easily
>Rubber so they're not actually sharp
>Sharp enough to classify as a mace

>>11726575
God this is giving me flashbacks to those bootleg Yu-Gi-Oh toys that had really sharp spikes that would cut your fingers if you tried to play with them

that articulation looks like dogshit, man.
>Also, fucking lmao at the dweebs at Dinosaur Toy Forum absolutely malding over this not being statueshit.
why are statue collectors the most annoying collectors on earth?

>>11726383
Ross isn't a dumb ass, he's just annoying with the fact that he cares more about sculpt fidelity than articulation. Comparing the polar bear he did for hasbro to the Sabertooth he did for Creative Beasts is like night and day.

Have to ask them during the next live stream. People only asked about the range of articulation and whether it was gonna be able to roll into a ball.

But the BOTM Rex 2.0 will have it

I'm so annoyed that the Rex is going to have toe articulation, but the fucking Acro isn't

>>11726599
Forgot to post the Twitter link of the articulation showcase
https://x.com/TMtheEQplusNerd/status/2026863350957973780

Glad I skipped the first Rex, I'd be pretty mad if I paid $200 for a glorified statue

>>11726594
>and whether it was gonna be able to roll into a ball
This would be very stupid but also cool

>>11726514
half the people who collect BOTM do not understand that you need to nuke your figures to free up the joints and that allows them to be more expressive. Chris can say, "You need to warm up your figure every video that he does on a figure

and yet you will still get people who won't heat them up and work them.

I like the HC Trike as well, the horns especially look good. I just would like it more if it were the size of the Stegosaurus.
