A new set from Yell set with a rather interesting dunkleosteus

[Totoro]

Why am I so drawn to these derpy Animal Heavenly Body figures?  Am I the only one?  Does anyone here collect them, and if so, what is the quality like?

I have the sea animals and I can confirm they're really high quality. There expensive unfortunately but they've released proportionate sea animals in 2023

It's weird because I'm not normally the sentimental type.  But I am drawn to them too, @Totoro.  I have a couple of the dinosaurs, and yes, they're good quality and well finished.  But they are really expensive for what they are!

You're not alone. I gave in and have been ordering some of them and TBH I love them. The quality is high, looks just like in the photos. Which is good, because they're a bit pricey.

OK, y'all convinced me to try one.  I had a wad of discount codes from Lana Time from some extra shipping on a whopper model I bought from them so I decided to use one of those codes to buy an AHB for a couple bucks.  Unfortunately, LT doesn't have much selection of those figures right now, but I found a beetle I liked a lot and bought it.  Thx for the feedback. 

[Halichoeres]

I have a couple of their earlier releases, here are in-hand photos:



They are pretty well made, although expensive as others have noted.

This one appears to be new, I hadn't heard of it before now:


I'd surely buy it if I didn't already have PNSO's. Glad to see they're continuing with Triassic aquatic animals, at any rate!

[Halichoeres]

A new line called Prehistoric Park by Boundless World. First figure in the series is this stylized Yutyrannus:


PVC figure on a resin base.

a nyvtyrannomimus from Takara tomy

[Halichoeres]

Not too shabby! The color scheme reminds me of the old AAA Gallimimus, although this is clearly a better design.

[crazy8wizard]

There's a typo on the website haha. I guess the word Tyrannomimus does look a lot like Tyrannosaurus.

Also don't we have a takara tomy thread?

[Faelrin]

Appears there isn't one for this year, so I've made one. While on the subject, there's also a new Archaeopteryx, that reminds me of vintage paleoart due to the colors used.

A new Jurassic World set as well:

Is that a giant steak that the Tyrannosaurus is cradling? By extrapolatiom from that, the trike's leaves, and the mosasaur's shark, I can only infer that the Pteranodon is planning to eat that egg.

[ceratopsian]

I think it has to be a steak!  The Pteranodon is a hoot - as you say, it has to be cuddling its food.

Paleofiguras posted that the Boundless World Studio (original Studio Saiyu Dachan) will produce now a Tarbosaurus PVC figure that should come out in May and then later a Shantungosaurus figure.

[Sim]

Where did you see that they will be made of PVC?  I saw that they will be in 1:35 scale though.

This detail was not exactly in that post by Paleofiguras. But the first figure that was released by this studio, a Yutyrannus, is a PVC figure as well (see description on website of Lana Time Shop). And I recall that when this was announced it was mentioned that future releases would also be PVC figures.

[Halichoeres]

The Yutyrannus was quite cartoony, but the Tarbosaurus and Shantungosaurus are supposed to be more realistic, right? Maybe they merit a dedicated thread.

Tarbosaurus... In addition to @Sim , I guess you might find this interesting @thebermuda303 @Elengassen @CharlieNovember

And man do I hope they release a realistic version of the Yutyrannus...
