YVY Figures/Dino Hazard

[Thialfi]

A general thread for this brand, which I'll kick off with the notice that their magnificent Irritator challengeri is on sale now for about 36 Euro/38 US Dollar:

I hope this deep discount doesn't mean that sales have been weak. I'm really rooting for this brand.

[Faelrin]

Seems like it is being discontinued. That's unfortunate to see. It only just came out last year.

I guess the AliExpress/Factory incident was quite harmful to this Brand and Figure.

Same here. I really hope it's a matter of making space for new stuff. Been enjoying my Irritator massively and the people from YVY/Dino Hazard have been incredibly kind and helpful, and evidently talented.

I also hope that YVY continues to produce quality figures ... but I couldn't resist the Irritator at this price!

@Maritimer glad to hear you managed to pick one up, you won't be disappointed!

this is prob a dumb question, but theres no way to get one of those charcharodontosaurs from them anymore ? only kickstarter?

[Fembrogon]

I don't recall if anyone here on the Forum even GOT one of those carchs. I recall hearing they were released, but did anyone here back the kickstarter?

Due to all production problems and illegal sales, the company ended up having trouble continuing production. The Carcharodontosaurus has been turned into an crowdfunding exclusive, only sent to who had backed the campaing. There is no plans to release it in larger scale so far.

I've got a copy myself of the toy version, but haven't been able to get the deluxe one yet. From time to time one appears for sale down here in Brazil, from people who decided to sell their copy, but it is not often.

That's such a shame to hear that those factory shenanigans tripped them up like this. The Carcharodontosaurus was shaping up to be a really cool release, I hope they can bounce back in the long run.

thats such a bummer, id love to have one of em bulky boys, and with the sale of the irritator and it being discontinued, it looks grim for the companys future

I went to the Yvy Figures site and, while the site is still live, Irritator is listed as sold out.

[Ikessauro]

If anyone here wants one, I may be able to help getting a Carcharodontosaurus, used of course. From time to time people offer it. Price varies, but I'd say from 100 to 200 dollar range.

My review of the Carcharodontosaurus, a truly astounding model!

My review of the Carcharodontosaurus, a truly astounding model!

Thanks for this! I never knew Dino Hazard had a Carcharodontosaurus, but I knew their Irritator was pretty stellar.

I also saw an Instagram post about this but had no idea where to find the link to the review. So glad to be able to read it (and see review pics) here.

Also, is the size difference between Irritator and Carcharodontosaurus actually this large?

Oh my, it's glorious. Such a shame it will never grace my shelves.

[Leyster]

@Carnoking I think you can ask @Ikessauro if he can find one for you, too? I got mine through him.

@Quiversaurus it's even more glaring, considering that the Dino Hazard model is based upon the idea that Irritator and Angaturama are the same animal and thus Irritator reached ca. 8 meters in lenght. The skull of Irritator's holotype, when complete, was probably "only" around 60cm.

(Carcharodontosaurus by Randomdinos, I don't remember whose was the Irritator shilouette)

Looks like YVY Figures/Dino Hazard might be back!! Paleofiguras have posted about it.

Great news!

[Mattyonyx]

It was a comment written by Hugo Cafasso on the Paleo-Nerd Facebook page, but Paleofiguras decided to turn it into a "scoop" (at least they mentioned us).
I'm not even sure it was the right thing to do, as we should wait for a proper announcement.
Frankly, I'm starting to wonder if anyone still reads us, since it's their post that's getting the attention...
