Nanmu - New for 2023

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I haven't had any figure with issues except the very first Carnotaurus which did need a stand as the ankles would slowly warp.  All of my current pieces stand and I've not received a Dragon Soul damaged either though some have..I don't know how many arrived broken vs safe. There is always a chance of damage with any product though.

My only Nanmu figure that needs a stand is indeed the first Carnotaurus version.
It happened over time.

All my Dragon Souls arrived in one piece luckily. Of the pvc figures, Only my parasaurolophus and alpha t rex have standing issues. Excited to see alpha 2.0 hopefully with a better balanced pose.

STURISOMA:

I partially fixed my Leaning Tower of Parasaurolophus by bending the peg to the far right and rear and inserting a black cardboard piece under the foot so that it does not fall completely over anymore.

I saw a Youtube review of another Nanmu dinosaur and saw a shelf full of dinosaurs in the background with a green Nanmu Parasaurolophus like mine lying on its side and not on its base. I asked the collector who posted the review if he also had leaning problems with his green Parasaurolophus, but I got no reply.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

The Green version I think had more of a lean to start with? I recall there was a bit of difference like that with the Allosaurus too.

BLADE-OF-THE-MOON:

My green Parasaurolophus with the bent peg is 6 1/8" high. As I said before, out of the box, mine would sometimes fall completely over to the left.

In Andy's dinosaur Youtube, his green Parasaurolophus is 7" high (and tilts to the right) and his brown Parasaurolophus is 6 1/4" high.
For some strange reason, there appears to be a variation in the heights for a mass-produced figure.

I'm pretty sure it's the peg that's to blame. Depending how far in it is or the angle used it can alter the way the figure leans and appears.

Wow, that looks awesome. It's longer than the Spinosaurus. 

Gonna be fun trying to find a place to put it and the Dragon Soul.

[Sturisoma]

Looks like Alpha 2.0 is in a reverse rotunda pose. Me like! It's gonna be a budget friendly rotunda rex    the little static pose rex is a good bonus too! Happy to see it's not a random person hahaha.

So I'm guessing the breakout rex is the Dragon Soul offering?

Most likely. It has the DS sign. I'm also noticing Nanmu's trend of having the pvc with open mouth, DS with closed mouth. (except for v rex 2.0 since there was no pvc version)

Ah, I forgot the DS has its own special seal to look for

I'm usually fine with Nanmu's standard PVC pose, but I think I'll have to make an exception for the JP rex, which is my favorite fictional dinosaur.

[Paleo Flo]

Nice JP-Rex.

[Pliosaurking]

Seeing as I never picked up the original I'll definitely be grabbing one version of this beauty!

[Kei]

Oh she's magnificent looking - I'll definitely save up for one as well

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I'm still waiting to see the final piece.  The breakout looks to be in roughly the same pose as the Giga just standing on fencing vs the hill. Will all that fence add another 100.00 to the cost like with the Ultimasaurus/dragon?

Rotunda pose is pretty classic, I can see why they would do it. I have the non scale Prime 1 version on order though so I'm not sure I need it. I'm kicking myself for missing out on the big Prime 1...    I think the ultimate budget rotunda piece would be the first brown Papo or the Hallmark ornament which even plays the theme song.

To be fair, that pose seems more appropriate for the rex than the giga. Definitely captures the moment of her eyeing Grant and Malcom's Explorer before stepping out of the paddock. Meanwhile, I can't seem to remember such a pose from the giga, but then again they didn't really have any "iconic" poses to pull from with that one seeing as it did basically nothing noteworthy.

As for the price, I too shudder at the thought*, although I do wonder if the broken fence will wind up being included to such an extent. After all, we've seen them cut things from designs before.

*I probably won't have to worry too much seeing as this too will probably be a challenge to get your hands on.

Nanmu Giga comparison from Facebook



I remember when we thought the first Nanmu Giga was gigantic..the Dragon Soul will probably be even larger if the Spinosaurus was any indication.
