I'm quickly falling behind on these articulated Nanmu figures. Haven't placed an order for the two new raptors or V. rex, and I'm still yet to get even one of the Carnos. Me, a guy who would never turn his nose up at another meat eating bull!
Not that they're not good, they just don't strike me as a priority like their past releases have. This is a great sculpt! Just wish they had squeezed one last statue out of it before going the articulated route.

I ordered the new raptors immediately, still considering picking up two more when my funds are more stable. Skipped the VRex and Carnos though. I might get this one? IDK. it could replace my existing Nanmu Indominus in that scale. I do wish they would make this about the size of the HC Giga..talk about competition!

These articulated figures are fantastic but I'm not into articulated figures. I purchased the JP3 raptors and unfortunately I can't get mine to stand very long. I'm very excited for the Therizinosaurus though. I'm hoping this Indominus Rex will be popular enough for them to consider making a 2.0 statue version? I missed out on the original one and would love a new one considering how much they've improved over the years.

The raptors definitely need the stands they come with. Maybe something like the new stands Creative Beast is using would be even better?  You could get the Indominus have an artist pose it and fill all the joints and paint it up?

I think the problem is that the raptors are quite light and the stand slides around on the shelf too easily so they topple over. I think I can add some sticky tack to the bottom to solve it. That is a good idea for the Indominus Rex, but might be too pricey to commission someone. I can wait for one. I'm starting to move away from JP figures anyways, I have most of the "main" dinosaurs now anyways.

Definitely looks more like an Indoraptor than an Indominus, although I'm surprised to see them teasing this one so soon when they've already hinted at a Spinosaurus. They really must be cranking these out!
Then again, I'm sure in the grand scheme of things, sculpting takes the least amount of time when it comes to developing these products.

I wouldn't say cranking them out..making a computer image doesnt take very long to tease people with. 

The new raptors are due next I think or the Vastatosaurus I haven't kept up with him.  Then the Indominus Maybe March/April? Spino maybe July? It could be next Fall before we see the Indoraptor.
