New 1:20 Spinosaurus model by Prey Collection

I just found out about this today, and I'm SO excited! The biggest thing for me when collecting a model, is how dynamic and fluid it looks. That's one thing I really, really like about Alexander Belov's "Prey Collection Studios" figures, and I have the smaller Spinosaurus on order now (still in transit, probably wont get it until after the holidays).

But this new 1:20 is very impressive (and very pricey):

I know some people don't have FB, so here's another link: http://bit.ly/2Bm1FrO

It reminds me of a classical Roman sculpture, with the very prominent, almost exaggerated skin and muscle details. I'm going to have to start pinching pennies...

I'm in love!

Shame I can't pick one up though, $300 - $500 is way too much for me and I really don't like painting.

The price is very steep. I've wanted figures at similar price points in the past, but have always thought better of it and held off.

But this is an incredible sculpt.

I just ordered this guy's Parahelicoprion. I think I'll make it my second paint-up. Figure I should cut my teeth on something cheaper.

I doubt its 100% completed, but he's made fast progress. First announced he would be working on it less than a month ago.

There was a 1:56 Spino from a few months ago (posted above). I was able to get one, and hope he does another run of the Dunkleosteus. Would love to have it (at $45 its much easier to justify  :P)

That non-Facebook link gave me a recurring spam popup. I actually like that one that Blade posted more. That thing is fantastic! And where is everybody seeing all these prehistoric fish?

You have to have access to either facebook or instagram to view his stuff. The FB link is in the first post. That's his main shop, so you can view everything there. You can also search the web for an "instagram viewer", and find one that isn't giving you popups.

Just two fish thus far, parahelicoprion and a dunk:

Halichoeres

Urzeitshop is selling painted versions of the Dunk, in case anyone wants to go that route. The Parahelicoprion lists as sold out on his facebook, but I messaged him and he said he could get me one within a couple of weeks. I'll let you all know when it arrives.

Speaking of the Dunk, I just saw him post that it was back in stock again   :D

i was just curious if given the size there would be more detail added to it.  i watched the video he moved pretty quick...just gotta get in the "zone".  lol

Yes I did.  Same scale and i like the overall piece better..looks like a Sideshow model and it comes painted already too. 

While searching I did see a 1/15 Spino walking by another forum member.  Lots of Spiney love this year.
