What would your ultimate dinosaur figure look like?

[Nanuqsaurus]

Imagine you could make any dinosaur figure, without any limitations. What would it look like? What species would it be? Colors, pose, size etc.? I'm curious what you come up with!

[Lanthanotus]

Now that's a good but rather hard to answer question....

I especially like sauropods and got some of the models I deem being the nicest, though there are some out there that are financially out of my reach, but overall I think the sauropods are quiete well covered. Next year's Dimorphodon (yeah, not a dinosaur in the scientific way) is a must have for me, I really like that pterosaur. So my choice would probably go for a non-dinosaur, Drepanosaurus, an obscure and highly specialized reptile, which I will attempt to sculpt in the middle future. Not sure about pose and colors as of yet, but it will be shown in an arboreal habitat, probably trying to breach a termite nest.

Doesn't really have to be a dinosaur of course! Can be any kind of prehistoric animal. Drepanosaurus is a good choice, a really weird and remarkable creature but not very well-known. It'd be interesting to see a figure of that!

Strangely enough, mine would be a realistic, highly detailed Proganochelys. Mossy green color. Probably smaller, 6 inches or so, and no base or habitat so that it would be affordable to me.

I'd like a figure with an internal skeleton so it was poseable without seams.

[Silvanusaurus]

I'd like a figure with an internal skeleton so it was poseable without seams.

This is what i was thinking. A solid armature/skeleton underneath layers of soft 'tissue' simulating flesh/skin/scales - the joints and movement would all work in a way that looked perfectly natural, and it's level of posability would be equal to a real animal. The look and texture on the outside would be realistically detailed dependent on the species. If it was feathered it would have scaled down miniscule feathers that looked and  moved exactly like feathers do in life. The skeleton and the flesh would be so durable you wouldnt have to worry about breakage. Personally I'd take an accurate Baryonyx in this form.
And I know wha the next step beyond would be, but I'd want absolutely no artifically intelligent, living, breathing figures like this, that would be way too problematic.

[Archinto]

a gigantic fully poseable sauropod. Bigger than anything produced

I will like a a Spinosaurus of this tipe.

I would love a snake or lizard like that, one that you could drape over your shoulder!

I've actually been planning for a while now to make a macaw like that with the "pelt" of an animatronic parrot and a 3D printed skeleton.

But while that sounds great for smaller species, it just doesn't strike me as the best option for larger species. For me solid figures will never be completely outdone by any amount of super articulated pieces. What really sells a figure for me in smaller scales is not one single super detailed figure, but several figures in the same scale with a similar color palette in various poses (and not fused to a single base).

So like full sized?

[Killekor]

I recommend acrylic paint for the skin. When it dry, become flexible. I use acrylic paint for do dinosaur meat. I am do an experiment with a dinosaur skeleton and paint.

Hop I have helped someone.

I'd have to motorize it so I could ride it around town if that was the case....... :3


I'm thinking along the lines of 1:10 to 1:12 scale

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

My ideal figure would be a cross between Tony McVey's 1/5 T. rex and the new WS rex, with the overall style and personality (and of course size) of the former, but with the accuracy and and bulk of the latter.

[Kayakasaurus]

A Pterasaur flying upside-down would be cool.

[fason]

A Pterasaur flying upside-down would be cool.

wouldn't that either be :
a. a dead pterosaur
b.a flipped upside down pterosaur ??

Yep lol    . JK, It would be funny though if someone marketed their model as a flying upside down Pterasaur. It would be upside down in all the pictures and on the shelves

I think a lot of store owners would just put it upright because they wouldn't understand the joke!

i will make a velociraptor.
