Recur recently announced four new boxed sets of what seem to be PVC rather than soft vinyl figures.


Set 1: Majungasaurus, Scutosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus
Set 2: Callovosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Irritator, Teratophoneus
Set 3: Alioramus, Cryolophosaurus, Sinoceratops, Velociraptor
Set 4: Edmontosaurus, Ichthyovenator, Postosuchus, Rugops

Lots of interesting species choices! Too bad Recur sculpts are more often misses than hits. These new figures really reminds me of CollectA's "Procon" days, incredibly exciting species paired with subpar sculpts.

More detailed pictures being posted by Recur:
Tyrannosaurus


Triceratops & Sinoceratops


Irritator


Icthyovenator

Even though they are pretty inaccurate on many levels, there's something that makes them look more pleasant than Recur's usual offerings. That said, I still hope they make something like Sinosaurus too, it's a great model.

Sorry, but they seem cruder than the normal vinyl ones? Smaller size would justify that.
Any Giganotosauruses are friends. Any other carnivores are...I think I'll run now.

Thanks for those photos, avatar_Flaffy @Flaffy. I'm eager to see closer photos of the Callovosaurus (it's a fragmentary genus but smaller ornithopods are made so rarely I don't much care) and Postosuchus (might have roughly correct leg proportions?).

They have less surface detail than the larger vinyl figures, which as you say is probably due to the size difference, but they seem to be much better proportioned. Their vinyl models are really cartoonish in that respect.

Is avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres getting any of these?

Not sure yet. There's a shortage of small ornithopods, so I'm leaning toward 'yes' on the Callovosaurus, although it looks pretty generic. It's hard to be sure how big they are, but the Teratophoneus looks like it will be too small and anyway there's the BotM one coming next year. Some of the others I'll have to see closer photos of first. And of course, as with the Sinosaurus, there's no guarantee they'll be distributed here in the States.

A closer photo of set 3:


It's a half-decent Alioramus, maybe the nicest one that isn't called Qianzhousaurus.

Lol I love how the Cryo is a blatant Schleich ripoff but ends up much superior than the official product
Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece
