Takara Tomy - New for 2023

[Faelrin]

A few new figures releasing in mid September:

Bracchio (Brachiosaurus):



Mosa (Mosasaurus):



Big Ania Gotts (Ankylosaurus):

why are the Brachiosaurus colours upside down

Counter-shading isn't universal, just a trend. Honey badgers are famously lighter on top. Maybe, like them, brachiosaurs just didn't care.

I'll update the op later when I can focus.

Spoiler

Aka catch a break from having to listen to my dad play Fallout 4 for the umpteenth time, and the over stimulation of the constant gun and VATS sounds.

Anyways just caught wind of these new figures with wild paint schemes (part of the Adventure Continent Ania Kingdom series). Release date is October 19th. I think these are all repaints of their older figures right?

Oh wow, those are some very bold colors! The Smilodon looks like some kind of novelty popsicle. The mammoth looks kinda cool though, like an elephant painted up for war.

New repacks of the Dominion Carnotaurus, and Ania Jurassic World Tyrannosaurus (which is a repaint of the regular Ania sculpt):



Worth noting that the Carnotaurus was previously only available in a Malta themed set that included Beta, and Baryonyx I think.

New last minute surprise for the year, a set of baby dinosaurs based on the Ania Adventure colorations (blind box style of figures, but they come in eggs):

And not prehistoric, but they have a new Ania Shoebill bird as well (expected in February 2024 I think):



Takara Tomy Arts also released recently a Gacha set with a Shoebill as well:

Edit: Here's a review with comparisons of the larger corresponding Ania dinosaurs to the new baby figures:

Edit: Here's an image of the case from the Amazon Japan listing:

the shoebill looks nice

[CityRaptor]

Yes.

Looks like Takara Tomy still knows what is important about figures in eggs and does not fill their eggs with all sorts of other junk unlike companies like Toymonster or Zuru do.

Also that Megalodon looks like some sort of ghost shark.

I like the Captivz figures better than most products like them, but the slime is very unwelcome, not to mention the plastic egg. I'd rather see cardboard packaging or something else that won't take ten thousand years to degrade.

I recently had to mail some 3D prints, and some of the models where so small, i had no idea how too send them. Then it hit me.

I used a Captivz egg (and a few yowie capsules as well) to send these items safely among the larger ones.

Glad you were able to find a reuse for them! I haven't found one for the slime, however!
