This seems to be the same company that made this Guanlingsaurus:



Some of their products say "Animal Heavenly Body" and some say "Animal Planet," which I guess amounts to the same thing if you're running it through a translator! So far I haven't found anybody selling the companion piece to the Guanlingsaurus (Dinocephalosaurus, I think you suggested), have you come across it anywhere?

[BlueKrono]

I totally thought that Eo was a Liaoningosaurus for a second and got really excited.

I would have guessed you'd be into Eorhynchochelys, too!

I ordered mine on the 22nd but it still doesn't seem to have left outbound customs.

As a turtle biologist a little bit, but I don't collect all turtles, just spiky or fanged ones. I have the Joy City one just cuz of how easy it was to obtain. I'm gonna need that Guanlingsaurus for my collection though!

[Concavenator]

Haha I find the Yangchuanosaurus kind of tempting! But I think it's likely a good and up-to-date, non-caricaturized figure of it that I like will be released eventually, so for now I'm holding off. I have a lot of stuff to catch up on to immediately go after this, it's not what I collect, after all.

These are pretty nice though! Unlike the Yangchuanosaurus, I don't expect anyone else to tackle Gualingsaurus and Eorhynchocelys anytime soon, so that would be all the more reason to pick those up if you're into said genera.

[Halichoeres]

I'm not sure if these were released this year, but they are from the same company.




I still haven't managed to track down the toothy companion piece to the Guanlingsaurus, or even find a good photo.

Oh dear - occasionally I suffer serious lapses into deepest kitsch taste!  I'm ashamed to admit it but I really find the Oviraptor quite appealing!  I see it was co-produced with the Shanghai Natural History Museum.

[Pliosaurking]

Honestly that Yangchuangosaurus is pretty tempting as is the Eorhynchocelys!

I can see the appeal, honestly. And yeah, a lot of these seem to be in cooperation with various museums. The Guanlingsaurus and its fellow seem to have been sold at the Geological Museum of Guizhou. I don't know if they're exclusives or just co-branded.

The detail, color scheme, and paint application are stunning on this little Yangchuanosaurus model!

Just imagine how wonderful this would be on a regular scaled model.

[Halichoeres]

More from the same company:


Carnotaurus
Spinosaurus
Stegosaurus

I'm kinda grimly fascinated with these.

[Halichoeres]

Not a dinosaur or prehistoric, but I realized only recently that the lion that was released alongside the Yangchuanosaurus and Eorhynchochelys is based on the infamous taxidermy mount at the museum in Shanghai:


Really captures the walleyed, recently-struck-with-a-blunt-flat-object look of the mount.

[Dusty Wren]

Okay, that's hilarious.

I kind of love this company's style. It's not for everyone, but I like how they simplify and exaggerate the forms. Lots of pleasing shapes going on in these figures. The colors are very nice, too.

[Faelrin]

I can't believe someone made a figure (of sorts) of that. That's great, and made my significantly terrible day better.

Edit: I really like that chubby Carnotaurus, and the others above too.

Now we need a Gripsholm Castle Lion to go with it!

[postsaurischian]

 I had to get their Kingfisher last year.



 Oops! Sorry, wrong thread .... but too late.

[Faelrin]

@crazy8wizard I just looked that one up. Wow that's even more ridiculous looking. Like straight up cartoon looking. It's amazing it's been around for as long as it has been.

[Halichoeres]

They made a set for Wonder Festival in Japan that includes this fossilized version of Ceraurus:


I'd have been tempted if it were an alive version! The set also includes two beetles and an isopod (all extant).

[bmathison1972]

I would love the trilobite; the beetles and isopod are too stylized for  me
