Another entry in the Wonders of the Wild series, Oviraptor:

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Noticed him a few days ago on the Starace site, it's..ok?  The arms are still incorrectly feathered though right?

Yeah, definitely. They're all attached at the wrist, but the attachments should extend along the second finger as in Safari's Citipati and Anzu.

 That is a model I'd like to have. But isn't this that line with quite expensive models?

Yeah, they're pretty pricey. This one is on Big Bad Toy Store for $270. I only have the Dunkleosteus and Spinosaurus, both of which I bought for the fishes on their bases.

X-Plus has been releasing a lot of model kits, nice model kits to be sure, I just haven't a ton of time. Most of my kits are a back log of about a year already.

The blue-green eggs are a nice touch, in light of the pigments found in preserved Heyuannia eggs suggesting similar coloration.

That's different, I don't recall any skulls by them previously?  I already have a replica one though.

Halichoeres

Last year they did Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus skulls, but they were admittedly pretty forgettable! There are better replicas of all three.

Probably why I can't recall them. lol  I'm pretty particular about the skull replicas I collect anymore preferring them to based on specimens instead of full sculpts based a general idea of the skull already have enough of those.

Reminds me a lot of an existing figure...

Thanks for the heads-up D @dragon53

Not sure which you mean. LOTS of Mosasaurus statues out there in the almost-decade since JW.

Anyway, the deluxe version comes with a nice little shark:
