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

[Concavenator]

Have these been released? That Sinosauropteryx is tempting. 

[Flaffy]

In hand pics have surfaced.

[crazy8wizard]

That sure doesn't look like Zhuchengtyrannus to me...

[Concavenator]

Yeah, looks a bit different than your average Zhuchengtyrannus. Intraspecific variation, perhaps? 

[DefinitelyNOTDilo]

I believe the identities have been confirmed and the blue one is Lufengosaurus

The hadrosaurid has Zhuchengtyrannus written on its base, I'm sure that is what they were referring to.

[DefinitelyNOTDilo]

Ah, lmao. A bit of an oversight there.

Another post-mortem Sinosauropteryx pose

Amusingly enough the chinese text is correct.

What does the Chinese text say? Shantungosaurus?

Yup. S. giganteus.

[Halichoeres]

Livyatan, megalodon, and Dunkleosteus painted up. I gotta say I think the green is a nice change of pace for Dunk.

[Halichoeres]

Bandai Plannosaurus Brachiosaurus:

[crazy8wizard]

Bandai Plannosaurus Brachiosaurus:

And just when I had bought the Re-ment Brachiosaurus skeleton, this is revealed
But I can't be mad because this actually looks to be Brachiosaurus altithorax!

[JimoAi]

From wenno.

Nothing special since their toys are basically cheaply made stuff sold at premium prices but the placoderm is interesting

[Halichoeres]

Huh, the fish is kind of interesting. Looks like it could be Drepanaspis maybe? If so, that would be the first toy in about 40 years. Machine translation gives the ID as "false turtle," but I don't think that means much, because it gives me "short-faced bear" for the sloth.

Looks like the design is directly copied from a mobile game called Dino Water World so great guess

Your intuition is likely correct for the ID. I can't make out the first character from poor resolution but I'm betting it's 鐮甲魚 (Drepanaspis).

[Faelrin]

@Flaffy Any idea on what the others are?

Is this a game where you have a park of obscure sea animals and make them fight to get points? I think i used to play it.
