big sauropod figures

Very impressive indeed, R @Remko . You must have spacious accommodations to be able to house such a colossus, as well as your other big sauropods! I'd never seen this giant advertised - curious who merchandises it?

It's one of the many big sauropod kit LanaTimeShop offers. But if you want the 1:35 scale one you have to prepare yourself to dig deep into your wallet

It's indeed sold by Lana del time shop.
I think the kit is by MuSee?

As for the accommodations... No, not exactly. I have yet to figure out where I'm going to put this monster. And I really want their BYU9024 Barosaurus as well. Which is a similar size.

But I just couldn't pass on this beauty.
Even regarding the hefty pricetag.

Yep, checks out.

R @Remko any chance you could measure the height of the highest point on the back, and maybe also the top of the shoulder blade if it's visible under the skin? I'm curious about how it would compare at 1:35 scale with the reconstructed dimensions here, with the reasoning explained here.

Thanks, R @Remko .

Very nice! Saw those beautiful models before but oh boy, the price!🤣 you gonna paint it?

[Libraraptor]

Depending on what you consider as a figure, tere is Mattel Dreadnoughtus, Tyco Dino Riders Apatosaurus, too, which I would call "huge".

No problem.

Highest point on the back: 27 cm = 9,45 meters.
Shoulder blade: app. 22 cm = 7,7 meters
Top of the femur: app 23 cm = 8,05 meters

Additionally.
Complete length along the spine (tip of the nose until tip of the tail): 153 cm = 53,55 meters. Axial length would be slightly less.
Skull length: app. 5,5 cm = 1,92 meters. Larger even than that of T. rex or Giganotosaurus. I think that should be a bit smaller. Diplodocids had absurdly small skulls. Although I must admit, it doesn't look that out of scale on the figure, unlike Nanmu's Apatosaurus.

D @dinofelid, thanks for those links!
I did not know these, and it gives a very interesting view on this enigmatic animal. In my opinion it makes a lot more sense than Kenneth Carpenter's reconstruction, and the author gives some very sound arguments.
Looking at the figure and his reconstruction, I can't help but think that the sculptor was very much inspired by this article and drawing.

Overall, the body is only slightly larger than PNSO's Huanghetitan, and comparable in bulk.

A few more photo's of just the body with various other figures.

PNSO Huanghetitan.



Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex "Kiss"

Very nice! Saw those beautiful models before but oh boy, the price!🤣 you gonna paint it?

I plan on painting it. But have yet to decide which color.

They're definitely figures, action figures, and they're gigantic.

This sauropod figure is life-size*:

What a cute fella! @Halichoeres

[Remko]

After the Maraapunisaurus, I also ordered the BYU 9034 Barosaurus in 1/35th scale. It finally arrived today.

Again, wonderful kit, with a bit more parts:

- Head
- Neck
- Body
- Two tail parts (Diplodocid, long tail..)

Just like the Maraapunisaurus the head is probably to big for the figure. But I don't think it will look very weird or out if place when it's fully assembled.

It's more slender than Maraapunisaurus though.

Will post pictures later this week.

Meanwhile, this beauty came in yesterday.
Alamosaurus sanjuanensis in 1/35th.

Got it relatively cheap because it had a few defects. Nothing really big, just a couple of back spines that were broken or incorrectly molded, and a few teeth in the lower jaw missing.

No matter, animals in real life often have some defects as well.

It's a nice and big figure. Heavy too!! Weighs in at 1,7 kg! So it's also scaled for weight (would come out at almos 73 metric tons).   

Figure:



And with Rebor's Kiss for comparison.

[Halichoeres]

That's a very nice model! I like the embellishments in the integument.

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

Wow, what a massive Mountain. Congratulations on the nice purchase.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

That's fantastic. It's a species I'd like to have in a nice size like that too.

[SidB]

Spectacular piece. Yeah, a few missing spines and teeth are trivial, just add a note of realism. Congrats on the good deal. Kiss will have to think twice before meddling with Alamo.

[BlueKrono]

R @Remko Who makes that Alamosaurus?

[SenSx]

I would consider getting a kit of one of those big sauropods.

What would be the taller one that ever existed from what we know ?
And the longest ?
And the one with the biggest mass ?

I would say for a height matter it would be the Argentinosaurus ?
