Creative Beast Studio - New for 2025

[Eatmycar]

The new stands work well to support the two Allos I have and the new raptor.


The green Allosaurus isn't bad per se, it just doesn't blend as well as the Brown Cyberzoic Allos does.  The green Iguana was also done before, Rebor pulled it off well enough.  I think it was said the Cyberzoic A. Fragilis would have different colors too.

See, I agree that the stands work... for now. But the release stands weren't showing their problems on day one. idk. I'm just confused how this line hasn't managed to innovate in making dinosaurs lighter and able to stand when Mattel can make something as massive as the HC Giganotosaurus stand perfectly fine on its own, and BoTM still needs rods. I know people are fine with letting rods slide for bricks like PNSO figures, but these are action figures. They should be able to stand on their own.

So, no changes to A.fragilis coloration then

I wonder why they made the effort for A.jimmadseni.

I was under the impression that Big Al would eventually get a BotM colour scheme alongside the darker Cyberzoic one. And vice versa for the A. fragilis?

The red iguana colours look very pleasing to my eye. Wasn't a big fan of the blue crests on the A. fragilis so I'm glad there's an alternative.

Considering the previous WWD homages they have done (T.rex, Torosaurus...) it is weird the new paint scheme for A. jimmadseni isn't inspired by WWD's Big Al.

To be fair I wouldn't be surprised if David did a Fans Choice colour scheme for a WWD Allosaurus. Probably years down the road though given how busy he is with so many lines and figures to juggle.

[Flaffy]

I sort of feel like maybe they are putting more into the Cyberzoic designs/colors than the BotM?

I think that's likely just because these species were designed Cyberzoic first, so the BOTM colourschemes are the alternate versions.

Or maybe they're painted by different factories? (or different teams within the same factory)

This is clearly demonstrated by the difference in quality of paint application in the Cyberzoic vs BotM Dilophosaurus. One looks like a toy (still a *very* well done one), while the other looks like it walked straight out of the Jurassic jungle.




I still find it a bit of a shame that the finalised BotM Dilo doesn't capture the subtlties of Matt's original prototype, or Gabriel's package art. As I do prefer the smooth-layered keratin crest of this sculpt compared to the rougher-textured Cyberzoic one.

Wow that is quite the difference I think I'll definitely be getting the Cyberzoic instead.

[crazy8wizard]

For me the only thing I dislike about the cyberzoic dilophosaurus is the big varicose veins on its neck. It gives me the creeps but in a way I find distracting.

I agree. I've said it since Mattel released the Carnotaurus.  David needs to take a page from their book and go lighter.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

The Dilophosaurus is one of my favorite figures, it has a lot of posing options to give it some action that still allows it to be stable.  In regards to paint, I'm not sure, could be a lot of things..maybe some color patterns are just easier to replicate for the factory workers vs others?  I'll probably get the Cyberzoic one too, could work as a male/female or older/younger animals.

Fair enough, though according to David they're supposed to be loose skin inspired by turkeys or vultures. I find the fleshy bits quite unique, not something you see everyday on dinosaur figures.

FYI David confirmed that the collar is a floating piece on the Cyberzoic Dilo too. So it is removeable if you would like a more cohesive look if displayed next to the BotM version.

Likewise. The only thing I prefer on the BotM's paint app is the more obvious striping on the tail. The patchy stripes on the Cyberzoic one leads to a messy presentation, but works in the context of it being an elder / battle-hardened individual.

The cyberzoic one looks like it's the BOTM one but riddled with infections. Sorta like a Ruth or Sue situation.

Good, it didn't seem to fit the figure very well anyway?

[Flaffy]

I agree. Takes away from the sleekness of the animal. Floating pieces to me never really look good anyways, more hassle than its worth imo.

I funded the BotCy Kickstarter to get that Dilo (still pending), but when I saw the BotM version that he released, I really liked the look of that one better (less feathery, smoother brighter colors, etc.). That being said, I anticipate liking them both and intend to display them side-by-side. I may account the differences in appearance as one of the following:

• Male vs Female
• Younger specimen vs Senior specimen
• Different regions

[Concavenator]

I still like the A. fragilis' color scheme best, but A. jimmadseni is my preferred species, so that's the one I'll be getting. Not that the BotM A. jimmadseni's color scheme isn't nice either.

Still stoked and grateful there will be 1:35 versions of those Allos.

[Faelrin]

Very glad to see you and others got their wish with those 1:35 Allosaurus figures.

[MLMjp]

I'm hoping to get both Allosaurus, but of course that depends of how expensive they end up being.

I'd use the tyrannosaurus in the same scale as a rough estimate.

You mean for the two Allos combined, or just one? Being smaller than T.rex, an individual Allosaurus figure should be cheaper than the 1/35 T.rex, right?  

[Fembrogon]

A rough estimate doesn't mean the exact same price; I would guess the Allosaurs will be cheaper than the 1/35 rex, but I wouldn't be surprised if they land around the $50 range.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

That's why I said it's a rough estimate. The BOTM figures have more parts to switch out as well so the price may be more due to that? They did eliminate the more complex peg style "land" bases too.  Lots of factors to consider.
