Quote from: Joliezac on August 27, 2024, 01:19:28 PMVery nice, I'd be tempted if they worked on the stability of the figure, but I don't think that is the case. Mine needs a stand to keep it from toppling over. I actually prefer the original paintwork also. A pair is a great idea though!

Yeah, my CarnoV1 has the same issue with that front foot. I solved it with my "Toe Sausage Shim" technique...

That looks incredible!
Is he accepting orders? I tried searching for the figure, but did not have much luck

yes you have to email him or Guilherme . :)

I'm glad Andy likes it but I don't see it being different enough to buy another one. I already have two.  I don't see it being any more accurate either looking at screenshots.  The Disney Carno Rex looks brighter red in some daylight shots and then it's more subdued purple red in others.  The only real difference in the two in the film is one has horns that are different, one turned down one up I think to mimic the ride version.

After looking at that comparison in Andy's video of the two versions, and the promo pics side by side (and some pics from the film like the one I'll link below), I think their first version is a better match. Not perfect as far as the tones on the body goes, but closer. The first version also manages to closely replicate the coloration on the face on the edge of the jaws, which is definitely missing from this version.

Agreed.  I think most times Andy points out all the positives and not the negatives which I'd like to hear as well.  If you really want two then I guess it works. I also have one from Guilherme Bilinski's assistant coming that I hope is overall the most accurate.

Let me see if I can find pics of it. I think I posted some a few months ago when I ordered.

I'd be curious to know if there is an articulated version of the Disney Carnotaurus out there

Not as yet. Maybe Nanmu will try one?

Here is the Gabriel Fuentes sculpture I mentioned, he works under Guilherme.


I like the snarling look, exposed gums on it.

avatar_Blade-of-the-Moon @Blade-of-the-Moon Oh man they definitely nailed the head sculpt and paintwork on this one. Like it walked right out of the film.

T @Tattu There's always the old Mattel figures, but that might not be what you are looking for. Otherwise Rebor's might be the closest in that regard. I think it has articulated arms and a bendy tail?

I'm hoping to get mine soon and then I can take pics. :)

Yes it has a slightly bendy tail like other Rebor pieces and the arms move according to Andy's review but I've never tried it on mine. Too afraid I'd snap them off.

Yeah, unfortunately, the Mattel ones don't quite hit the mark for me. I could take a chance and wait to see if Nanmu surprises us with one, but realistically, I might just have to go with this one.

For the price it's worth it if you don't have it.
