Good lord. That is just fantastic.

[Mackeral]

I have been looking at it for a few days now. It's more than amazing. But it's so big, where to keep this and keep it dust free?
Very nice from mr. Seffzek and mr. Cooper!

But it's so big, where to keep this and keep it dust free?

Valid concerns–but I could figure out those details if only I could even begin to afford it! That said, it's a fair price for something so beautiful.

Agreed, sure it is a lot of money but for it's size, paintjob, limited edition and including shipping costs etc. it's really affordable. If your disposable income allows you, that is

[DragonRider02]

Oh my god, it's Marvelous! A True Masterpiece! But there's no Way I will be ever Able to afford it... 

[acro-man]

Totally worth it.

[ceratopsian]

I looked at it with great excitement when it was first announced. Until I saw the size.  It is so beautiful but just too big for my collection.

[paintingdinos]

Oh noooo... I must have this. Any word on if it'll be released as an unpainted kit?

[IrritatorRaji]

And suddenly I'm more tempted to sell a kidney

The last Urzeitshop' exclusive (Shane Foulkes Postosuchus) was released as finished model only so I think Microraptor won't be sold as a kit..

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

very nice but about 200 more than i'm willing to go.

[postsaurischian]

  This is a dream coming true. I have been waiting for years hoping that Sideshow would do something like this.
  And now: Sean Cooper - one of my favourite Paleoartists - making Microraptor - one of my favourite species - in 1:1!
  After a few days of recalculating and struggling with myself (knowing from the beginning that I'm going to lose this fight in the end) I placed my order.
  I can't wait to display this in my "home museum". It's going to be a definite centerpiece .
  I'll try to sell parts of the toy figure collection in the near future.

  I wouldn't call the Postosuchus a real Urzeitshop exclusive. It had been sold as a kit by Shane Foulkes long before Miron got the rights.
  The Diplocaulus group by Matt Mannit was a similar "exclusive". Miron doesn't offer such models as kits anymore.

Yes, I know, but the original Shane Foulkes' release of the Postosuchus was 15 pieces only..  So it was more than an exclusive 


Now Urzeitshop own the molds of the kit as an exclusive 


I'm curious: Which colors did you ordered for the Microraptor ? Or did you choose a custom paint job from Martin ?
( I chose the black and white coloration for my order  )

    Ditto! A very beautiful colour scheme. Maybe I'll have a few minor changes.

[Mackeral]

So funny that you both picked the black and white version, i think it is the most lifelike colourscheme, although the warm-toned version have more of that 'wow' factor.
How are you planning to display this? I think it would be too big for the avarage display cabinets.
What a centerpiece this will make!

[RobinGoodfellow]

How are you planning to display this? I think it would be too big for the avarage display cabinets.

I already have a plexiglass custom-made display case for the big Kaiyodo Megasofubi 1:35 Blue Whale.
I think I'll follow the same way for the Microraptor.
(I strongly hate dust)
