DINO DREAM: New for 2024

[blnadal]

Still waiting on Lana to ship my Giga, it says In Stock so hopefully soon. 

The Theri/Rex set is all new sculpts?  Feels a bit like the Prime 1 set.

Rexy is a new sculpt, Theri is the same they showed before
There will be no other versions of Theri and Giga

They must think Rexy will sell well enough for two versions. At least we are getting a Theri which is great. The current Giga will probably scale with them.

I just noticed how grey the Giga's teeth are, seems to be covered with overspray from the body and left that way? Very poor quality there in regards to paint.

I don't know.. in some photos the teeth looks perfect yellowish like the movie, but in these new photos, it's really almost a grey

I want to see a video review to decide to buy this guy and sell the Nanmu one

It's pretty confusing.  Mine just shipped from Lana so I'll see first hand what it's like and post here when it arrives.

Can't wait!!

Pose looks good on the Rex. The render/marketing shot looks pretty flat I wish they wouldn't use those for references.

Teeth on that one look good. Maybe it was a filter or something used on  the photos of the other one?

They also teased a LW Raptor that looks nice.

It's odd how Nanmu is more realistic in terms of paint and sculpt if not exactly the most film accurate. I'm still glad I skipped the Prime1 budget line, paint apps are a mixed bag and the sculpt detail seems about 50/50 but it is the largest of those there.

Man, I really wish the DD had the same paint level as Nanmu. It's actually closer to Mattel.

he doesn't look so bad here... but I agree that Nanmu is way more realistic

Nanmu consistently has the best paint apps among all the JP (& inspired) statues.

I have Mosasaurus and Indominus by W-Dragon and I think they are a step above from Nanmu, but I also think that Nanmu is awesome and better than Dino Dream

I did sell my WDragon Mosa, it was VERY similar to the Nanmu and took up an entire shelf to itself. Paint apps to me were pretty similar but I do recall the Indominus was Nanmu's first figure and their paint has improved a lot since then. I do prefer my WDragon Indominus as well though.

Really?? WDragon Mosa is my favorite figure!

It was nice don't get me wrong, but just about exactly the same as Nanmu Mosa v2 and at half the price. I do already have the Nanmu V1 and the big Prime 1 jumping statue.

oh, now makes sense.. that Prime 1 is absurd!

thanks to Heinzi Giesen, we have these photos that shows a more real look of the figure (without filters or strong illumination):

Andy seems to like it a bit, I still see paint issues though and he even mentions the top teeth are greyish in color from over spray.

The P1 Mosa is pretty insane. the base alone takes up a ton of room.

That pose right there of the Giga is about the best way I see to display it. I'll have to remember that.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

My Giga from Lana came in today, it's pretty close to what we've been seeing. There is some sloppy-ness in the mouth paint, lower jaw looks like the translucent teeth we've seen from Nanmu, they seem to have pink painted the teeth a bit. The top jaw does look to have some gray overspray on them despite looking more white in the pics I took outdoor in full sunlight.

Congrats!! He looks good, whats your veredict?

8/10? It lost those points due to paint, the detail though, is there. I am perplexed about why we get so many green color patterns for the Giga when in the film it's more grey/brown.

I can't see replacing either of my Nanmu piece though for it. They just look more realistic in paint apps. Looking at hard, it seems they definetly based it on the CG render used for merchandising vs the animatronic which I think, would have been better.

The paint is definitely disappointing. Mine is probably coming today, and I'll make a decision on whether to return it or see if I can salvage it with small paint apps.
