I got mine today (normal base) ...this base is much cooler but pricing(for europe....bad joke)
I have the sideshow Apatosaurus and Camarasurus and wanted a third sauropod that matches the scale.

So i have all 3 sauropod body forms.

My rating:

The size is huge and it fits perfect too the or two dinosaurs
The overall sculpt is ...good.
The head is really perfect (it lives)
The body detail is not as fine as my sideshow pieces...except the head!
I really wished the did some more layers on it and made some parts a bit more feshy and bloody rosy...if you know what i mean.

It´s good enough to look impressive BUT ...this piece is from 2019/2020!!! Where everybody can print in 3d top detail...
And my sideshow figures are 5-10 years older... so I expected MORE.
AND they costed 1/2 or 3/4 of this one...

The painting has not really much layers...back in grey ...belly sand clour.
To be honest it´s like the old 1993 movie Brachiosaurus...who looks cool but was overall the same inconspicuous coloured...like an elephant.
I am fine with that but as I said...you can paint something with 2 layers and it looks ok...
And you can airbrush it with X-layers and the same thing looks awsome.


Overall it´s looks fine and impressive ...and it´s the perfect piece for my scaling collection. I don´t regret it.
In comparison too other current JP pieces of Iron Studio and my older and less expensive Sideshow pieces (T.rex, Triceratops, Stego,Apatosaurus, Camarasurus vs. Allo)

i have to say, it´s (a bit) overpriced ... at least in europe.

Here are some pic: (The elephant is from PSNO, the native huntress is 1/24 (Tassili)

Body detail is ok, Body coloring is mediocre...more layers Iron studio!
The head is nice...it lives. But missing painted nose / ear holes.
(perhaps some repaint - upgrade later)

It´s massive:
brachiosaurus is 78cm figure hight [standing] and 96cm from head to tail = 23m
apatosaurus is 110cm long = 26,4m
camarasaurus 86cm = 20m ("")
allosaurus 53cm = 12,7m ("could be a larger relative")
human is 7,5cm (1/25 scale) = 1,80m
PNSO elephant is 17,5 cm shoulder hight = 4,20m (equal to the tallest african elephant ever recorded/shot)

So nice scaling overall :D  I have 3 primitive humans to paint ...than its really nice to see them all in realistic size comparison.

I will build the brachiosaurus a second base with a broken tree ...where he stands with his forelimbs on and eats.
With the same look and hight like the other 2 bases.
The same for the elephant and the humans.

Wow, that's enormous. Very nice display setup you've got for your little herd.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Thanks :)
This is the arrangement now.


Building a small diorama for the 1/24 humans ( they will be placed in front)
A little bit space on the ring...perhaps some day a list piece for this showcase.
