Magnus the Carcharodontosaurus by El Reptileano / Pre-release

[Protopatch]

Okay, I must admit that I'm basically a fan of the talented paleoartist El Reptileano and his figure of Carcharodontosaurus seems amazing 
What do you think ?
I'm hesitating to order one...

Hmm..if it were about 10 years or more ago I might have bought one.  It looks like the proportions might be off a bit, there is a seam in the tail and the prototype having a wonky hand for 65.00 when you can get the PNSO in the same scale for around the same price seems a problem to me.  Adding in in images and posters is fine but to be honest they rarely leave the box at least in my case.

Yeah, the hand is also what stops my momentum   Regarding the price, I assume that is inherent to a kinda homemade low production.

Heres the thing, I agree with @Blade-of-the-Moon for the most part, but I must emphasize the talent behind the figure. The artist who made the concept (and perhaps the 3d model?) is about 18 i suppose, i know his page on IG. Thats impressive, so young and already making such awesome stuff. I mean yeah its kinda expensive but everyone has to start somewhere, and theres a small number too. Of course, nothing wrong with not wanting to buy it, I understand that notion too. I mean most of us can agree price, defects, and seams aside, its a great figure. I hope in the future the producer is able to reach new levels and customers and refine the processes

It also reminds me of a pnso alot tbh. The sculpt detail, the poster card, lol.

Overall very well done for a self-made figure!

Ah see  I had no idea of his age. I was just being honest with what  I saw. That taken into account it's certainly more interesting. It says printed so I assume 3D printed and then maybe cast?   I feel like this would be more to support a young and growing artist if it were purchased now vs buying something for artistic and scientific values?

I've worked with Repti in other projects regarding this carch so I can give a little insight into the accuracy. It is for the most part up to date, with the exception of a few details, particularly the neck, which were simply brought to light too late to be added. As for the material, I believe it's all 3d printed and then hand painted, in which case I'd say the price is quite reasonable.
