Dang if that isn't gorgeous.

[Pliosaurking]

Welp I better start saving

[Over9K]

That's the Dragon Soul resin isnt it?

[JohannesB]

'Plastic fantastic' is my motto with dinosaur (and ship) models. So resin, no thank you, because for me, the extra quality and cost is not worth it. But I do understand the esthetic and structural benefits of the material, and it sure does look and feel 'premium', so I wish anyone who buys them much joy

So looking at the two Nanmu Spinosaurus figures - is it just me or does the 1.0 version look more like the Stan Winston animatronic than the 2.0? 🤔

Very possible, it has more of that "harsh" ? Detail the animatronic had. This one seems very nice, still need more angles on it..but it feels to be a bit more on the artistic license side.

I agree. I wanted to make a small sculpture of the Winston animatronic, but I need to be able to cut the legs off a figure for that to work. One of the Nanmu options seemed like the way to go. (I can't imagine trying to cut through the Prime 1 piece - that'd be a nightmare.)

You'd need a vise a very good grinding blade...quite thin and fine.  I think with heat and a really sharp blade the Nanmu would easiest.

I also have the same question as Over9K----is the above photo the resin or plastic version?

[Carnoking]

The above photo is the Dragon Soul LE(?) Resin version. The earlier roaring version (both the movie and albino variant) are the standard PVC release.

CARNOKING:

Thanks for clearing that up.
I hope Nanmu releases the new painted plastic version soon.

Its... cute (?) 

Made a clown of myself and thought it would be as big as the colored figures. I think it would blend well with glass/swarovski figures.

Nothing indicated it would be so small. As a reward for the damaged rearing Brach it's still a bit of a let down.

[Carnoking]

Yeah, I was expecting the full sized figure. Honestly, that might have been a bit much to put on display, but this is still a sorry excuse for a consolation

[Bread]

Yep, agreed on how lame of a compromise to receive this. Did anyone actually get a refund due to the resin Brachiosaurus being damaged in transit?

[need4swede]

Imagine getting a car delivered with a crashed front-end and the OEM's response is to mail you a matching Hot Wheel / Matchbox to go with your broken car.

Adding insult to injury - hardly an improvement from a PR persective.

[Carnoking]

Unfortunately, I'm not sure there really is a way to make that situation right. I love Nanmu but getting that broken brach really tainted my enthusiasm.

Indominus 2.0? Rexy 2.0? Giganotosaurus?

[Over9K]

Indominus 2.0? Rexy 2.0? Giganotosaurus?

I'm betting Dragon Soul Resin T.rex of some kind.

The Dragon Soul Spinosaurus has a similar base, with T.rex skull...
