W-Dragon: New for 2024

[thomasw100]

W-Dragon announced that they will start releasing a line of scientifically accurate models named Stratum Records. Was reported by Paleofiguras. Seems like this will start with a T-rex.

...... Seems like this will start with a T-rex.

 ... which is quite tiresome.

... which is quite tiresome.

I thought the same, but that first picture seems to feature a few more species. OK we see the usual suspects like Giganotosaurus, T-rex, Carnotaurus, but there is also a Brachiosaurus. I would not mind a reasonably accurate Brachiosaurus in 1:35 scale and with the paint quality of W-Dragon models. OK we will most likely get a Brachiosaurus from Haolonggood, but this could be an interesting option as well. The picture with the T-rex does suggest that the figure might come with a skull like PNSO does for some of their museum line models. If W-Dragon would do this for all models in that line, this would be nice.

In any case, this will be an expensive year. With 30 new models from Halonggood including 4 large sauropods, then probably some 10-15 from PNSO and now potentially some 5-10 from W-Dragon, this sounds like somewhere near 50 models for the entire year.

Wasn't W-Dragon's Stan meant to be an accurate Tyrannosaurus already? Another one, really?

EDIT - OK, nevermind, I asked Paleofiguras and they told me the previous Tyrannosaurus (Stan) is included in this line, so I don't think they will be making another (or will they?!).

T @thomasw100 it looks like they simply "retconned" their previous models into this line. The Brachiosaurus is a Giraffatitan they released some years ago, same with the Allosaurus, Giganotosaurus, the Stan Tyrannosaurus and their Retro Tyrannosaurus.

Give us the Megalodon already

In that lighting, the Rex looks a bit like the life size one Dan Lorusso built for the Boston Museum of Science.

Sorry to dampen your enthusiasm, but I asked my contact from W-Dragon. He confirmed that Stratum Records is just a way of separating their original creations (and yes, even the pop-culture ones like Retro T. rex or Giganotosaurus) from the licensed products.

This Megalodon seems really hard yo order.
The remaining one are overpriced, and I don't know if I want to get this one or the Itoy, did not even get the time to think about it.

[Abobo]

Oh I was about to ask the question.
I can't find it on aliexpress for a shipping to my country :/

PS : I prefer this one to the IToy which looks like an oversized Great white shark
