Ikimon Nature Technicolour - New for 2019

Ikimon makes gorgeous little nature-themed figures, and I've been hoping they'd make prehistoric gashapon ever since I learned of the company's existence. They're finally dipping their toes in the water with this upcoming set of skeletal figures:



I believe they are:
Apatosaurus
Archelon
Elasmosaurus
Triceratops
Tyrannosaurus

But I could be wrong on one or two of those.

Considering how off the wall some of their species choices for their extant lines have been (an entire series of barnacles, for example), I hope that at some point they do something a little more adventurous. And maybe non-skeletal, while I'm dreaming.

I could be mistaken, but to the best of my knowledge, Kitan Club no longer produces Nature Technicolour, which is now made by Ikimon. At any rate they are separate, non-overlapping web sites and Twitter feeds.

 :D  It's great to see them finally entering the prehistoric business!
       I have been collecting a lot of their series and they (Kitan Club, Ikimon, Nature Techni Colour - whatever) are among the best.
       I'm also dreaming about fleshed-out figures now O:-) .

I have notified Brett about buying these so thanks for the heads up

I am taking orders now and asked my source for any further info--release date especially as he never gives prices prior to release.

Will update as ASAP.

Anyone interested can PM.

Thanks.
Brett

Can the original poster or anyone else provide a URL for these?

I asked my new figure source about them and he was not yet aware of them, asking for more information.

Thanks.

Pretty sweet! I already owe Brett a good amount though, not ordering anything else so potentially pricey until I pay him.

Sorry, no, I can't. This is from Ikimon's Twitter feed. They haven't offered any other information yet.

Okay, I'll keep watch.

Thanks for letting me know, Hali.

Sorry for the delay here but my source told me that it is uncertain if these will be released (though I have to suspect they will). Will update as I hear more.

Thanks.

Not sure if this is related to the previously teased release, but according to Ikimon's Twitter feed, these are supposed to release in July:



Mostly pretty boring, but the trilobites are intriguing.

The Archelon skeleton seems interesting just you can't see it properly because of the Chinese text. These are keychains?

Oh, sorry (I didn't look at the signs really beyond that they cover the Archelon too much).

Yes, I think these are flat keychains. Not really what I collect (probably true for most of us here), but it's nice at least to see a company as capable as Ikimon is paying attention to ancient animals.

These 2D charms are now available. I'm holding out for some 3D figures.
