Hmmm... when will companies stop with Megalodon? There's so many more interesting prehistoric marine life.

This promo image seems quite nice, however, I still am on the fence about the final product. Usually IToy's color application dips to a subpar level resulting in a matte and dim look that's not so pleasant.

All of the megalodons that exist as toys are just bulkier great whites
Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

Blade-of-the-Moon

Eh it's meant to cash in on the fame generated by the films. One book is even called "Hell's Aquarium" as I recall. It's ok but I have two Megs in my collection and I'm good with them.

This Dilophosaurus set is scheduled for August or so.

ITOY MUSEUM COLLECTION 1/15 SCALE DILOPHOSAURUS FIGHTING MODEL

In hand pictures just popped up on paleofiguras, not only does it look incredible but it's massive, and apparently only $75 on Lana, which imo is quite a nice price, I may have to finally get this. I've been wanting a good 1/35 megalodon for quite some time so this is definitely on my radar!

Same here, and it has a very nice base !
Is it bigger than the PNSO ?

There is also the incoming ,W-Dragon one.
But I guess it will be more expansive though.

The fighting Dilophosaurus pair reminds me of the old Carnegie pair;

I honestly think that there's no need for yet another JP inspired Dilophosaurus from I Toy.

The Megalodon looks nice. But it looked more shinier/ glossing in the promotional pictures than in the final product. Does it come with the base as in the promotional pictures?

I'm shocked by the price and final product!

I honestly didn't expect to say "I'll be picking this up."

My first and only megalodon, too.

Megalodon looks good but it has me hoping they'll do a Livyatan to go with it  ;)

Yes, it does.

I'm really liking this piece more and more. I'll probably make the decision to purchase it sometime next week.

I am certainly surprised by this piece.

The only drawback for anyone may be the realization of the shipping price. Went to check out and saw it was $76 to ship to USA. Not too bad but ouch. Still not bad for such a large model. About $150 is the total.

SenSx

Yes shipping price is as expansive as the piece itself even for Europe.
Still worth it, although I would have liked to compare it with the upcoming W-Dragon one.

Do we know if this figure is still accurate compare to the latest researches, that claimed Megalodon might have been smaller than we thought ?
(Especially for 1/35)

To be honest most experts are very skeptical of that paper, so I'd disregard it for now.

The Otodus megalodon is available to pre-order on BBTS for $120 (with $4 shipping as per usual). Expected in March.

Carefull though, I wonder if the provided base is enough to hold the figure safely
He is using some other support base to help it.

The stands are only there in one shot, and if I had to guess I'd say it's likely because another figure, possibly that whale, is pushing up on the tail of the megalodon and unbalancing it.

 Because the base is made of resin and the Megalodon is made of PVC, I guess it can be placed very safe between those two rocks. You'd just have to find the centre of mass.

 He's only using the PNSO rods in one picture while not placing the Megalodon correctly because of space issues on that shelf.

I wonder if the shark works as a great white

Which megalodon is bigger? Itoy's or Pnso first version?
