Chinese & Japanese novelties - New for 2024 (various companies)

[CityRaptor]

Who would habve thought that it would become such a meme.

As for the T.rex situation: Basically we need a Dinotales reboot.

[Faelrin]

Lol they definitely need to. It is an absolute wonder to see how much mech this fish has from like having none to little in the prior few years.

There is a TON of merch of this thing.

Here are some highlights:

Bombs?


Hats:


Bad Puns:

[Halichoeres]

The bombs really crack me up. Although I'm not sure why they didn't go with "Sacabombaspis?"

[Halichoeres]

When I saw the title, I was briefly excited, but no Jurassic sharks here, just modern sharks mashed up with dinosaurs.


Honestly, I'm not even sure which dinosaurs are supposed to be the source material for some of these.

[Faelrin]

Google translate says:

In ancient times, were there dinosaurs that looked like this?
Jurassic Shark
Lemon Book Shark
Jinbeiro Shark
Shark called Hohojiro
Shumokusubino Shark
Saw Riofure Shark
5 types in total

So it seems like a what if type of series with maybe a little bit of dinosaur inspiration (like at least T. rex and Spinosaurus). The saw shark one gives me ichthyosaur vibes.

Chubby tho the dunk is normal, sea animals teased by Animal heavenly body

[Halichoeres]

Thanks for the heads-up, @JimoAi. I'm still waiting for them to release their Dinocephalosaurus (or maybe they did already, just not anywhere I would have seen it for sale). Now, Animal Heavenly Body is a Chinese company, rather than Japanese, so should I start a new thread or just change the title of this one? Anyone have an opinion?

Jurassic Sharks remind me of these

but mixed with the Marvel versions of Land Sharks
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Jeffrey_(Land_Shark)_(Earth-616)

My guess as for who mixes with who?
Lemon Shark & Ankylosaurid of some sort since those are often depicted in that pose
Whale Shark & some sort of large Ornithopod
Great White & Tyrannosaurus
Hammerhead & Spinosaurus
Sawshark & Ichthyosaur

@Halichoeres - for the ATf I made the similar thread Japanese/Chinese

[Halichoeres]

Thanks, I might do the same for simplicity's sake.

[Halichoeres]

I posted these to the Bandai thread, but I think they belong here too: "Strongest Dinosaur Friends."


Brachiosaurus
Pteranodon
Spinosaurus
Triceratops
Tyrannosaurus (in two colors)

[Saarlooswolfhound]

That Spino is adorable. 

[LucasLiu]

[Saarlooswolfhound]

Oh my heck, I admit I like the stylized dinos! Thanks for posting these.

[Faelrin]

Sinosauropteryx is obvious, and I'm guessing the green hadrosaur is Shantungosaurus. Not sure what the third blue one is.

[LucasLiu]

possibly lufengosaurus

[Concavenator]

Sorry, but that Sinosauropteryx is too cute. 

[Halichoeres]

Haha those ARE pretty cute. My first thought on the blue one was an abelisaur because of the big head and >3 fingers, but something like Lufengosaurus is a better guess.

[postsaurischian]

 I like the background art, very Ghibli like.
