Schleich - New for 2023

Yup. AND the CollectA version is roughly 1:35. The Schleich version will very likely be larger.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Gallimimus is still looking decent, and I might come around to the Tarbosaurus again. Monolophosaurus isn't that bad either, though it's maybe a bit unremarkable.
Edmontosaurus is looking goofier, on the other hand. I'm undecided on Gastonia.

I want a modern, accurate Gallimimus but... not like that. I'll keep waiting for someone to do it better. Still looking like the only Schleich toy I'll get next year is the Gastonia.

Halichoeres

I might still get the Gallimus but man they aren't making it easy. That design would be right at home on Sesame Street.

No, but it is pretty darn funny

Pliosaurking

...nothing great, but the tarbosaurus and Monolophosaurus are half decent, perhaps I'll get them.

Halichoeres

The texture on the hands and legs of the Gallimimus had been reminding me of something, and now I've realized what: The Thing from Fantastic Four.

Yep, there it is. Knew it reminded me of something.

I don't think the texture is great, but that dark wash is making it look even worse. It's overemphasizing the weird cragginess of the...I guess they're supposed to be scales. I feel like some minor customizing and a new paint job could save this figure, but I'm not sure if it's worth putting in the work.
Check out my customs thread!

I'm happier with any Gallimimus from Mattel than I would be with that thing on my shelf, feathers be damned.

PrimevalRaptor

Tarbosaurus looks fairly decent, maaaay pick that one up down the line (though I thought that about quite a few Schleich models that then in hand didn't really catch my eye that much lol) and the Monolophosaurus still looks a bit odd but not as neckless.
The Gallimimus...yeah that's rough, the texture looks quite weird on this one despite the overall proportions seeming fine

Considering the situation Warner is in right now, it might not be that long until Daffy Duck actually is owned by Disney.
Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

I am definitely wanting to get at least two of the Tarbos. One to keep in the original color, and I may repaint the other like the one from Camp Cretaceous.

I'm finding myself liking that factory color scheme - tempted to get one. Do we know the release date?

DinoFan2010

Not yet, but I assume sometime from February to May is when they will release, as that's when they usually release them.
