关于Nanmu的镰刀龙,因为换了新的代工厂,目前无法确定实物的质量如何,无论是翻模水平还是涂装工作(这家新代工厂生产的可动系列品控就有问题,不如原来的代工厂)  :(

DD's Sickosaurus has many flaws, and if it is composed of a movie scene with Australopithecus and Tyrannosaurus Rex, then these flaws can be ignored; If it's a separate purchase of the collection, it's not very recommended  :-\
Regarding Nanmu's Sickle, because of the new foundry, it is currently impossible to determine the quality of the actual product, whether it is the level of mold turning or the painting work (the quality control of the movable series produced by this new foundry has problems, which is not as good as the original foundry)  :(

The new Velociraptors from the Smart or moveable series seem to be better than the JP3 ones?
虽然我不太关注侏罗纪系列的迅猛龙,更别提是可动系列......不过,是的,新款明显要更好,Nanmu改良了分件工艺,在涂装上也加强了管理(毁灭君王龙的涂装情况不算太好,工厂似乎在油漆还没有完全晾干的情况下就送去包装了),不过根据淘宝上的评价,部分关节仍然存在断裂风险
我觉得Nanmu仍然在继续探索可动恐龙的制造方法,新款迅猛龙确实是一个进步,但收藏价值仍然有限  8) 

Although I don't pay much attention to the Velociraptor of the Jurassic series, let alone the Movable series...... However, yes, the new model is obviously better, Nanmu has improved the parting process, and has also strengthened the management of the painting (the paint of the Monarch Destruction is not too good, and the factory seems to have sent it for packaging before the paint is completely dry), but according to the reviews on Taobao, some joints are still at risk of breaking
I feel that Nanmu is still continuing to explore how to make movable dinosaurs, and the new velociraptor is indeed a step forward, but the collectible value is still limited  8)


Mine should be here soon, I hope they are great. I had no issues with the JP3 Raptors aside from they just didn't stand up without the stands.  Dino Dream are decently sculpted but their paint falls short of the price tag. WDragon charges about the same but their paint apps are superior.

在中国,DD的PVC恐龙几乎都会在推出后迎来跌价,哈哈 ;) 很多中国玩家并不满意DD在这个价位上所呈现的细节,有些地方的纹理很模糊 :-\
我敢说,Nanmu曾经拥有中国恐龙品牌中最好的涂装工厂,不过可惜的是那家代工厂倒闭了 :'(
我不太满意W-D的涂装工作,从第一只道具棘龙到CG棘龙,W-D从来没有达到过官方效果图的涂装效果,尽管它的两位建模师都非常热爱棘龙(以及侏罗纪公园3,哈哈)
虽然如此,我还是收藏了W-D的第一款道具棘龙;我没有CG棘龙,在出货前我没有预定,在出货的早期我不喜欢CG棘龙身上过于鲜艳的红色颜料,而到了今天,它的价格变得让我望而却步 ;) ;不过,在看到宣传图后,我还是预定了今年的道具棘龙,希望这次它能给全体棘龙迷带来惊喜!

In China, DD's PVC dinosaurs almost all usher in a drop in price after launch, haha ;) Many Chinese gamers are not happy with the details presented by DD at this price point, and the textures are blurry in some places  :-\
I dare say that Nanmu used to have the best painting factory among Chinese dinosaur brands, but unfortunately that foundry went out of business :'(
I'm not too happy with the paint work on W-D, from the first prop Spinosaurus to the CG Spinosaurus, W-D has never achieved the livery of the official renderings, despite the fact that both of its modelers are very fond of Spinosaurus (and Jurassic Park 3, lol)
Still, I have W-D's first prop, Spinosaurus; I don't have CG Spinosaurus, I didn't pre-order it before shipping, I didn't like the overly bright red paint on CG Spinosaurus in the early days of shipment, and today, its price has become prohibitive for me ;) ; However, after seeing the promotional image, I still booked this year's prop Spinosaurus, hoping that this time it will surprise all Spinosaurus fans!

I can agree with their assessment of DD. Their pieces are expensive for what you get.

Has anyone had their Dino Dream Therizinosaurus shipped yet? I got the shipping notification on January 23rd but according to YunExpress it hasn't moved since. I live in the US by the way. I think the last mile tracking is using something called UniUni? I haven't heard good things about them.

Edit: stupid realization, could Chinese New year be related to this? I saw the other day that USPS was blocking shipments from China and I thought that might've been the reason.

Chinese New Year was the original reason.  usps recanted 24 hours later.  keep an eye on your shipping number and keep us posted.

I reached out to Lanatime on Instagram and they told me the delay was due to Chinese New Year. They said operations are resuming normally now and I should get it within a week. As of writing, my tracking still hasn't updated. I never provided them with any order info either. I have a bad feeling it's lost. I saw Andy Dinosaur review video of the Theri go up today, so people who ordered theirs are getting them.

Also, I don't think USPS will be the last mile carrier. The tracking number is a UniUni tracking number.

Give them a til next week then if nothing message them with the order information.  Andy is no indication at all as he tends to get things before anyone else. For example I ordered something he reviewed on the first day it was up and he received it a week before I did. I think these companies send him product early to build hype before release.


Blade-of-the-Moon

Once again Andy loves it lol The leg joints have some pretty bad seams there that look almost like cracks?  The paint job is ok, something I could have done myself with dry brushing though. It's not bad at all just about what I expected from DD. At least this one is more realistic than some of their past attempts.

I was ready to order it to replace my Nanmu one..but then they showed it was bendy? Idk now..

Carnoking

Sculpt and paint look fantastic for a recreation of the JW design. Bendable neck and tail is definitely a choice. I'll keep this on my radar but I'll be waiting to see if the rubber elements end up deteriorating like the REBOR titanoboa.

They confirmed to be silicone, not rubber

Silicone is better than latex, but it still eventually decays into a gooey mess. Ah well. I was all ready to order too.  Vinyl with an internal skeleton like Mattel would have been better. Some rubber like car tires can last forever.  Silicone holds a lot of detail well though which is why I imagine they chose it and the tail won't break like this so it won't have so many shipping issues.  I still don't like pieces that rot eventually.

Silicone's definitely a more premium material too, probably going to drive the cost up exponentially

They're probably using apatosaurus as a test for Titanosaurus..
they also answered my comment about Rebirth mug as a easter egg

Jorgesaurus

Will that new Apatosaurus be made of PVC or resin?
