David Silvas New Kickstarter: Articulated Dinosaur TOYS

Dilopho · March 26, 2025, 07:40:29 PM

They look wonderful, wow! The Stegosaurus is a work of art.
Well, they all are really.

I'm so glad to see a wooly rhino. That's a MUST have. I wonder if they would ever do an Elasmotherium, a BOTC one with a dome nose and a cyberzoic one with a giant horn?

The Cryolophosaurus looks GORGEOUS. That's the type of colours I just adore on a dinosaur, something which looks vibrant and fun and isn't too close to any modern animal.

What's the orange 1/35 Allosaurus? I know it's a jimmadseni, but it's orange- is that the BOTM one? Is there a full sized orange one planned? Because that looks gorgeous next to the green one.

Speaking of, man, I wish that juvenile Triceratops would get a rerun, Not only would it just make sense now that they're commiting to a 1/35 subline, but I really reeeaally want a smaller Triceratops to go with my adult for photography purposes.

Look at this and imagine some smaller ones dotted in...

I had saved up for it earlier this year without even realising it was out of stock and out of production!

Nehalennia · March 26, 2025, 10:17:19 PM

Woah, a woolly rhino! That's an amazing surprise! I hadn't seen that Moeritherium before either - does anyone know if that one will get a regular release?

Glad to see those three proboscideans again. I imagine we could've seen a 2025 release had the Mammoth Project been spearheaded by David from the very start, but better late than never I suppose.

That's planned I believe, they were originally stretch goals for the Mammoth kickstarter but will now be BOTC

Faelrin · March 27, 2025, 06:52:53 AM

So I just ordered the BotM Dilophosaurus from Everything Dinosaur. Saw on this reddit thread it's going to be discontinued/not restocked with the Cyberzoic release coming so close. Glad I get paid in a few days and had yet to hit any of the Mattel sales. Unfortunately I was trying to save up for the Gorgosaurus restock, and this will set me back some, maybe a month or two. But better now with this one I guess.

Now the wait for it to arrive.

Ah yes, I see, thank you! Rooting for this!

Ugh, I know companies have to do what they do but I hate knowing that after all of this super super long wait for anything to come out, all of the fight to get it made at all on kickstarter, waiting multiple years for it to release, it's all for such a brief chance to own it at all.

Wow, that was quick! Congrats on that Dilophosaurus, that'll be a stellar acquisition when you get it. Best Dilophosaurus figure yet hands down.

Noideaforaname · March 28, 2025, 08:20:48 PM

My Cyberzoic Achillobator arrived!

Eyes got extra glossy paint on them, an effect a bit akin to Hammond Collection's glass eyes.

The wings got pins now, since the BotM counterparts had issues with the arms arriving disassembled (as happened with my Utahraptor). Achilles' right elbow was still threatening to pop off, but the pin made it easy to get everything back in place.

I think that's enough raptors...

Giganotosaurus · March 28, 2025, 11:30:33 PM

I was so ecstatic to read that we are getting a Woolly Rhino!!!! I hope we receive figures of other prehistoric Rhinos also!!!! Rhinos are my second favorite types of animals, after elephants. 🙂

Dilopho · March 29, 2025, 01:17:40 AM

That eye on the Achillobator is incredible looking. I wonder if the Utahraptor will look like that? I'm so excited for it and its Oreo colours.

Speaking of counterparts, was there anything said about a full sized version of the orange A. jimmadseni? Or are they only doing the grey Cyberzoic one?

Faelrin · March 29, 2025, 02:42:11 AM

@Dilopho I get how you feel on that. It's a shame as some of the great ones like the Yutyrannus have not been restocked, and I fear they won't be, least not the original colorations. I have that one, but I feel for those that came after.

@Concavenator It was pretty high on my wishlist to begin with, but I was prioritizing some other figures. That said can't wait for it to arrive. It's already shipped and on its way to me. I'd also like to get the Cyberzoic one too, to have a pair of sorts.

@Noideaforaname Just needs the upcoming Austroraptor. It's great seeing all these iconic dromaeosaurids all in scale with one another. Definitely need to pick up the Deinonychus, etc soon. Maybe next month for my birthday.

Blade-of-the-Moon · March 29, 2025, 02:53:17 AM

I'm glad to see others getting the raptors finally, they are pretty awesome. I just received the Kuraokami today via DansDinosaurs.com

Blade-of-the-Moon · March 29, 2025, 07:20:30 AM

This is probably the standout piece in the entirety of the Cyberzoic line..at least until that armored Tyrannosaurus appears. The paint apps and detailing is just 100%. Range of poses is limited a bit by the legs but the tail and neck are pretty nice. I feel like this might be a test for later figures with long tails like the spinosaurus? It's a bit smaller than originally stated, David addressed it as his mistake and it says 31" on the box too but in reality it's more like 21.5" that actually is my chief complaint, for a truly mythic 1000 year old creature that's the last of his kind I was kind of thinking he should be able to beat a tyrannosaurus pretty easy, but it's more like he's Allosaur sized. This is a no frills figure, no extra parts at all, no stand for a fighting pose, no base, no extra hands to " hold" things which would have been a neat addition. What you see is all you get. One FYI, if you have issues with the wings try switching them, they don't really look different in any meaningful way but the do fit better if you get the right one on the right side. Overall I'm very pleased with him and more excited for the next dragon.

Faelrin · April 10, 2025, 03:37:32 AM

So I just ordered the last in stock 1/18 Protoceratops hellenikorhinus from Minizoo. Hope no one was planning to grab the only one from there. May or may not set me back a little bit on Gorgosaurus, but we will see in the coming months. I think it's still the only figure of that particular species of Protoceratops? Looks like it is still in stock at Everything Dinosaur though. If only I thought of getting this one sooner, could have ordered it alongside the Dilophosaurus. Oh well.

Here's the current stock situation for the small guys (1/18 small raptors, Protoceratops, and Psittacosaurus) from the major retailers:

[close]

Really bummed I missed out on the brown goshawk Dromaeosaurus, and the regular Psittacosaurus (but I may just have to try from that Aliexpress seller). My fault for sitting on them this long I guess. I did get the red Velociraptor and Protoceratops back in 2023 at Legions Con though. Guess I better get a move on soon with that Fan's Choice Dromaeosaurus and blue Velociraptor before those are gone too. Maybe the Glow in the Dark ones as well.

That Aliexpress seller I mentioned above also has the BotM Dilophosaurus in stock (albeit for a higher price):

Giganotosaurus · April 10, 2025, 05:08:59 AM

I'm guessing now would be the time to order the Beasts of the Mesozoic Dilophosaurus?

Faelrin · April 10, 2025, 05:22:55 AM

Considering it's probably the only seller to still have stock of it (short of the upcoming Cyberzoic version), and if you can afford it, go for it.

Appears to be out of stock on Everything Dinosaur now as well.

Edit: Still in stock on Creative Beast right now:

Found both the red and green 1//18 BotM Protoceratops and Linheraptor in stock on speelboer, so those are additional options for folks late to the game getting those, particularly those in the EU:

Really wish I could find the 1/18 brown goshawk Dromaeosaurus somewhere. Same with Bistahieversor. Literally gone everywhere that I've come across.

Trenchcoated Rebbachisaur · April 25, 2025, 07:02:55 AM

...Yeah, I am definitely not gonna have the budget to get all the figures I want in time

I think for now Imma just put my hopes on being able to commission animals with similar color schemes and designs from 3D Print sellers in the future and leave the BOTM collecting to people who can actually procure more complete collections. Or maybe that reissues happen after all maybe four years or so down the line.
