Wonderfest 2021 Shanghai

'Been itching to see Wonderfest media after spotting the beautiful Halzkaraptor statue on Facebook. Here's what I found:

This is a public access Facebook gallery by the Dinosaur Darkroom. No Facebook membership needed to browse the wonderful photos. The brachiosaurid pair by Tizon Zhang is amazing.

For those who want a video tour instead of just pictures, here's one by Youtube user Noel Lee.  So far, he's the only youtuber I've found who went through the dinosaur themed displays. Most of the youtube videos focused on popular characters and studios.
Prehistoric themed items are featured between the 10:20 and 25:43 mark.

I don't know why they put a [bootleg?] Papo Dimorphodon in a torture chamber... but that's funny.

On a personal note, I want that small M.See Quetzalcoatlus.

At Wonderfest M-See showed this wonderful piece: Tupandactylus (Limited Edition 100)







I tried to order a copy but it was sold out just the day after...

The long -distance feeling sure can have its frustrations.

I need that Halszkaraptor! Are there shops that sell these, or are they only for the Chinese market?

My favourite is the Tyrannosaurus rex that managed to successfully seize a Quetzalcoatlus by the butt as it was trying to fly away.

What? Quetz are friends, not food.

@Psittacoraptor , I'm just hoping our members from the region would chime in soon. Maybe some of them have communication with Tison Zhang and know how he plans to distribute these resin statues.

The way they displayed that halzkaraptor makes me think it's part of the Paleoidol line (you can see the acrylic standees next to the dinosaur statue). Paleoidols are girls drawn anime style and with dinosaur tails corresponding to the species they represent.  If you're not into that, here's hoping Tison Zhang also plans to sell the statues separately.

You know I own a few of the Kotobukiya Bishoujo statues and these  feel like dino versions of them, I would probably find some way to fit them in the collection..a way to merge the two lol

Are the characters going to be full statues or standees that come as accessories? I really like them, they're cute and they set the line apart.

@Blade-of-the-Moon , have you see Andrea Cau's reaction to the Halzkaraptor one? 'Was laughing when I saw it.

@stargatedalek , hoping to get more information soon (friends of Tison Zhang, please chime in.  )  What's shown in that gallery and video are just matching "paleoidol" acrylic standees for 5 dinosaurs.  An artist going by the alias "themazingspino" is responsible for the designs.

Maybe if this line becomes a hit, they'll make statues of the characters too.

I haven't!

That would be pretty cool, I'm kinda partial to the Therizinosaurus one especially.

Thanks for the reply. I can't say I'm very interested in anime girls with dinosaur tails, nor did I know such a thing existed in the first place . So hopefully the dinosaurs will be available on their own.
