Prime 1 Studio: New for 2022

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Doesn't appear quite as rough as the Rex and Carno?  Looks like a seam under the jaw? But other than that not bad.

Man the head seams suck! Would probably pose it like this to hide that ugly seam:

Nanmu spinos in the middle and W-Dragon spino on the right. A Rebor dead rex by their feet as an offering. My spino shrine would be complete

I've been very critical of these smaller scale Prime 1 figures, including the 1/38 Spino. I still think it's quite expensive for what it is, especially considering the additional cost of shipping the figure to North America and having to justify the price against similar figures offered by Nanmu and perhaps even Rebor to some extent.

That being said, I just placed an order for one after seeing these photos. Seems like there's a decent amount of us Spino fans in here, so I don't need to justify my purchase - but I am glad that this figure mostly seems to resemble the marketing photos, which is NOT something I can say for the rest of Prime 1's prehistoric offerings at this scale.

Unboxing video, but in Korean. With base. I was wondering why there was no base in the first video I shared 

[Sturisoma]

The base is hidden at the back part of the box    imo, looks so much better compared to Rexy.

That looks pretty good!

I have mine ordered through Sugo, along with the W-Dragon Spino. Still hasn't shipped yet, last I checked.

god that paint is horrendous

[Pliosaurking]

Yeah in my opinion Nanmu's new Spinosaurus is the best
It isn't completely accurate to the film, but it looks the best by a long mile
I agree with what others have said, that paint is atrocious

It is Prime 1 after all

For the price, your getting what you get in paint. Looks pretty detailed, it's obviously the animatronic version which is a great contrast to W-Dragon.

I don't think the paint is horrendous - but I wouldn't call it exceptional, either. If the figure cost less, I don't think the paint would bother anyone much - but like all licensed products, it gets taxed for the branding. Judging by W-Dragon's recent price hike, that 'tax' seems to be quite hefty, indeed. Keeping that in mind, I think the Spino looks pretty good, and I quite enjoy its 'flaws' since it lends the figure some much needed character when it inevitably ends up on a shelf with 5 other Spinos all painted in the same JP3 color scheme.

It's also "just paint" and can be remedied..hire one of our exceptional artists here for example.

After seeing some pics I wasn't really sure I wanted this one..and I have a couple of the Horizon kits one pretty much this exact diorama, another modified frill less.

It is..different from the Jurassic Park design and the Horizon model/maquette. That said it's really detailed moreso than I could tell from pics online. The head is very lightweight kinda feels cheap and fragile? I understand why but still...they could definitely have given us a closed mouth frill-less version too I think.

Glad I bought it despite some issues that could have been better. It's a nice overall piece to look at.

Very nice display piece! I would have no space whatsoever for something of this size

I have a good general lack of normal household furniture, tables, chairs, ect.. that allows for more display area..however it is getting full here. I've started selling a lot of my toys and smaller models to allow more room.

P.S. I just received the P1 Indominus Rex as well, I'll unpack and get pics of it soon.

Looking forward to the pictures!
