Kaiyodo miniQ t-rex and triceratops (Don't get excited...)

[brettnj]

My source just sent me this photo of figures being released under the name miniQ. 



I asked what the name denoted, especially since the figures are from last summer's Cretaceous set, and if the sizes were different.

She informed me that the line represented more highly detailed versions of CQ releases, the same sizes.  As I told her, I can't imagine...

Seems a very odd idea.

At first glance, they look like a repaint of the cretaceus set. We need a close up comparison to see the enhanced detail.

Seems a very odd idea.

I agree.

The "miniQ" name doesn't makes sense to more detailed figures anyway.

But even if it is a repaint, I may end buying that TRex as I like its colors more than the original green.

I also like the new T. rex color scheme. It's reminiscent of the orange Dinotales Series 7 T. rex.

I would guess that they will be made from a different material than the soft vinyl that the original versions from last year were made from.Possibly resin.

[CityRaptor]

The originals were made out of soft vinyl?

[SBell]

The originals were made out of soft vinyl?

Yeah--not like, flexible rubber or anything, but a less brittle material than original Dinotales--most likely to improve their survivability!

[CityRaptor]

Ah, thanks.

Thinking about it, the Kaiyodo CapsuleQ figures I have indeed feel softer than the Dinotales I have.

Hi,
I am very happy to inform you that mini Q figures finally available to purchase. 

[brettnj]

Not sure if sites are offering this with US shipping but I'm getting it for buyers now.

I asked my source the point of it and she says that Kaiyodo notes a higher quality paint/finish.

[Megalosaurus]

How much will it be for the pair?

I tried to reach you by email but it says:

Not bad. Not particularly outstanding, but not bad by any stretch of the imagination.

Juan, if that was intended for me, try e-mailing again.  No change on my end.  If you get the message again, PM here form now forward.

Same price but with the fees, so assuming shipping isn't inflated, better to buy on the site--not through me.

[gursar]

finally they are arrived I am uploading some pictures if there is anyone curious how they look like comparing to the older versions. sorry for the poor image quality.

[postsaurischian]

Thanks for the comparison shots, gursar.
Makes it much easier to decide whether to re-buy them or not.

Although I have no interest in them I must say they are a distinct improvement.
