Pteranodon Attack Edition

previous: >>11477097

Suddenly reminded of Dinosaur King, went to see if anyone did repaints and someone actually did.

>>11493110 (OP)
It goes without saying, this T-Rex is a must have if you love your tyrants. Sculpt is highly detailed, actually has good proportions, the paint job almost reminds me of Dino Riders Rex (commercial release, not prototype) and nearly perfect teeth. I don't even think I want any of the other toys, this one's probably the peak of the intial wave.

Saw the only D Rex but it was ripped from the packaging and taped poorly back into the box with a reduced price. It's dreadful, no wonder someone got their money back.

>>11493693
yeah the rest of the rebirth toys are meh

The Quetz is nice

>>11493693
Would love to get it, but it's not available on German Amazon for some reason. I got the Super Colossal instead, since it was 40% off briefly (no fucking clue where I'm going to put it in my tiny ass apartment, though).

>>11493693
It's amazing how shitty the extreme chomping rex is compared to this guy. My only regret is mattel didn't use this body for the classic 93 rex figure. Do you know if the necks could be swapped? Imagine this body with the young rex head with the 94 paint job.

>>11493825
Like the colors on the wings. I'm getting generic stands for a bunch of figures and will probably use em for the Pterasaurs too.

>>11493825
I would've loved to have been tempted by this one but it was out of stock. They only had TWO lab lockdown rexes, and I got the one with actual quality control conducted on it. How's the posing without flight stand? I don't have one for it, sadly.

>>11494072
>It's amazing how shitty the extreme chomping rex is compared to this guy.
The proportions on that one made me pass, but I did really dig the paintjob on the head at least. A total shame that it wasn't the definitive high priced rex that kids deserve to faun over.

> My only regret is mattel didn't use this body for the classic 93 rex figure.
Yeah this thought sorta occurred to me, that we could've had an amazing throwback with proper proportions, attention to detail and posing that this one has. Oddly enough what triggered my 90s kid memory was the shape of the press button to active the feature was reminiscent of the dino damage hole on the kenner young rex. Still wish the ankles/toes were balled by default, but I'll take what I can get.

The best part of the lab lockdown figure (to me) is that if you stuff a piece of foam into the button you can keep the mouth agape while posing the rexy into the best scene from the movie, the lazy river big yawn nap scene. I want to make a bank of tall grasses display stand for mine to rest on so badly. An involved part of that job would be fixing the soles of the feet to not be dreadful to look at.

P.s. the push button cut out is kinda sharp if you get your thumb meat stuck between that and the mechanism. Activate the chomp feature responsibly.

>>11493825
this human figure is great. What is this?

>>11493825
can the Quetz do this pose?

>>11494165
NTA but it's one of the JoyToy army builder figures.

>>11494159
The is the best it can do. The wings dont have a great range of articulation. For $40 i probably wouldnt have bought it, but walmart had it on sale for 20 bucks.

>>11494165
One of the Joytoy army buildets like this anon said >>11494341

>>11493378
There's a kid on youtube who uploads a bunch of them

>>11494431
Looks cool

>>11494576
It is. I'm just not a fan of the sound and action features, because they get in the way of posing him, but it's a kids toy and not a collectors figure so it's not rraly fair to judge it like that.

It's really funny that the stego is so back heavy that it can stand like a biped.

>>11494897
There's been at least a couple proposals that stegosaurs could have potentially walked bipedally occasionally based on the fact that most stegosaur trackway fossils preserve the hind foot's prints and not the front

>>11494894
Toys are toys, there's no difference.

>>11494930
Oh, I know, but I doubt that the figure is intentionally mimicking that scientific discorvery and its mostly just because Mattel didnt balancecit properly, so it's prone to tipping over.
>>11494969
Okay, but one of these toys is meant to be posed in a variety of different ways and the other has wings and a mouth that are locked with springloaded action features and the only way to keep its mouth open is to put a bit of plastic in it.

Post wome rebirth humans, specially some ScarJo's

How does the backpack looks on g.i. joes/marauders? Any other cool accesories?

>>11494571

Grown ass manchild I think, but he does good work.

>>11495101

>>11495209
Wouldn't mind having ScarJo and her tight tank tops in another movie

>>11495209
is that vest from rebirth or what other line is it?

So I maybe late here but… is this supposed to be the spinosaurus from JP3

and why is it 60 bucks??

>>11495209
that blue shirt fig looks like it got the heavies

>>11495824
Yeah, the pattern is right but for some reason they went with this vivid orangish red when it should be a much more muted maroonish color

>>11495824
Yeah, but it's obviously too satured, based more on previous toys than the movie look. It's a pretty high quality articulated figure, "premium" although they're not perfect. Honestly compared to stuff like Marvel Legends and other collector lines, they're really good value for size.

>>11495872
Biggest gripe with the line being how bright the figures look compared to how they actually look in the films sometimes.

>>11495872
man that is a checking cool dino

>>11495101
>>11495151
When will they make her?

>>11495887
I wish the crew would have had more screen time. They got killed off too soon.

>>11495311
Both are from Rebirth sets.

>>11495828

>>11496269
While that Spino set is brought up, how is the Spinosauris in that pack? It looks good, but can't tell.

>>11496269
i refuse to believe that’s how Spinos looked. JP3 is the Definitive look of all spinos. Everything else is revisionism.

>>11496280
Booba

>>11496646
living biological attractions so astounding

>>11495824
>60 bucks
Lucky, over here we have to pay 70 - 80

>>11496621
Neither the Rebirth nor JPIII spinos are accurate. But that's the appeal, movie dinosaurs will always look cooler.

>>11497063
The JP3 spino was accirate in 2001

Was thinking of sculpting a saddle for some dinos, but didn't wanna commit with greenstuff/milliput yet since I didn't want to go in without a plan. Remembered Blutack is pretty good as a temporary sculpting medium, gonna have fun practicing sculpting saddles and stuff on dinos.

>>11497284
Much better second attempt

>>11497247
no it wasn't. It's head was way too wide for the Baryonyx skull it was based on. The legs were comically long and out of proportion with the torso in a way that wasn't at all reflective of what people at the time thought Baryonyx and Spinosaurus looked like, and it's tail was too short. The Rebirth Spino has a shorter neck (maybe we don't actually have a neck for the animal), the head is too wide, and they don't have as pronounce a notch in its jaws as they should.

>>11497355
so show us a “real” Spino

>>11497558
The "real" 2001 Spinosaurus was just Baryonyx or Suchomimus with a big sail. Distinctions like Baryonychines and spinosaurini didnt exist in 2001 and there wasnt enough non-destroyed Spinosaurus material to reconstruct it as being very distinct beyond its sail.

>>11497596
The Rebirth Spino's head is oversized and too wide, but the argument that the 2001 design was more accurate to the time is pure cope

>>11496269
nice.
I really thought the bandolier on blue ScarJo was marauder's

>>11497617
You're right...

>>11497756
It's kinda weird that Stromer knew Spinosaurus had short legs and a long torso even though he had so little material.

>>11497756
I don't get what changed between 2020 and 2025

Yeah yeah, next you'll tell me that T-Rex had feathers.

>>11497833
2020 was
>omg it's an aquatic pursuit predator
2025 (though this was first contended in 2022) is
>actually it hunted like a giant fucked up heron

>>11497862
Feathered T. rex isn't actually supported by the scientific method

>>11497881
That was sarcasm.

>another jurassic movie without deinocheirus
what are you making mutants for you
nature already gave you a fucking crocodile camel duck

>>11497833
there nothing really, because neither side has managed to decisively disprove the other. The foremost expert on Spinosaurus still holds to the idea that Spinosaurus was a subaqueous forager like it's depicted in Walking With Dinosaurs 2025 and sort of like it's portrayed in Rebirth and uses bone histology to show that it and Baryonyx had much more densely built bones than terrestrial theropods because they were living most of their lives in the water while Suchomimus had very normal bone density levels and was living like a heron. At the same time the anti-swimming side says that it's sail would have been bad for swimming balance.

Imagine if millions of years from now some future humans discover panda fossils and they all agree it's a bear but some of them theorize that pandas actually ate one specific plant and others thinks that's retarded because its a fucking bear and its body is clearly designed to eat and catch prey in addition to foraging and for it to subsist entirely on one specific plant it would have to sit and eat all day like a fat idiot to get any nutritional content out of something it's clearly not equipped to properly digest

I mean sometimes shit just happens

>>11497943
Those scientists would be perfectly justified in their skepticism

Damn, looks like the crocodilian that nanmu teased is just a normal Salt Water Crocodile, I was really hoping it would be deinosuchus

Wish BBTS would stock Hammond figures since it's usually the only way I can get them. I feel like they just gave up after a while.

>>11498078
Does anyone besides Target and Amazon have them? Even then Amazon only gets some of them and they sometimes get them months after Target does, not counting third party scalpers.

>>11497807
We had hippo skulls since forever so it was very restrained of early scientists to not assume anything too crazy as well

>>11497756
I didn't realize we found more bones
Everyone always only talks about the skeleton destruction during the bombings

>>11497913
>anti-swimming side says that it's sail would have been bad for swimming balance
Wouldn't it work like a Sailfish or something

>>11498078
>>11498249
yeah, give it time

>>11497756
>Satellite Phone in 2006's Claw.

>>11498269
The sail is made of solid bone, it's nothing like a sailfish

>>11498646
I don't know how a sailfish sail works I'm sorry...

>>11498064
Is it going to be fully articulated, or just the jaw? I never splurged to get the Bandai croc, but given how much the recent articulated dinosaurs retailed for, this might be a better bang for the buck.

>>11498064
Don't they look basically the same?

>>11498064
I hope they base its size off a male, would make for a nice companion piece with the female G.I Joe saltwater croc.

>>11499071
It's in the Smart Series, so fully articulated.

>>11497906
Because Frontier already made a pretty good one is my guess.

>>11498259
Snoots? I think noot

Considering Dino toys are plentiful and often cheap, how do you keep your collection under control? Do you only have one per species or are you trying to keep everything in scale?

>>11499768
I try to keep everything in 1/18 scale. However some out of scale dinosaurs work as bigger/smaller individuals

>>11499768
I basically only collect Hammond Collection, Beasts of the Mesozoic, and Nanmu figures, so keeping my collection under control isn't really a problem. My rule of thumb, is that if the figure doesn't have elbow and knew articulation, I'm not buying it. The only real exceptions are the Mattel Dreadnaughtus and Titanosaurus.

>>11499804
I mostly stick to 1/12 and some Mattel Jurassic stuff which is closer to 1/18. Since few things are 1/12 beyond some Super Colossals and the defunct Amber collection I only have so many of figures on that scale. Thankfully I’m pickier about what species I want in the smaller scales (lately a lot of the small non-dinosaur and non-pterosaur figures in the Mattel JP/JW line like Inostrancevia and the many Triassic critters). Arbitrary/Eclectic taste is the only reason my house isn’t overrun with tons of dinosaur figures…for now.

>>11499120
I'm sure they all look the same to you, you damn mammal.

>>11499120
no, they have pretty different snouts, since Deinosuchus is an alligatoroid. While it didn't have nearly as distinct a head as Purussaurus, it's snout would still be more distinctive.

So do did anybody get the Buck?
