Following up last year's inaptly named "Predators of the Jurassic" series, the even more inaptly named "Predators of the Jurassic 2":





Helicoprion (another one for your list avatar_Reuben03 @Reuben03 )
Elasmosaurus
megalodon
Onchopristis
Archelon
Allosaurus
Stegosaurus
Triceratops
Velociraptor
Spinosaurus
Sarcosuchus
Tyrannosaurus
Anhanguera
Pteranodon ("pterodactyl")
Many of these are repaints of previous releases, although the Anhanguera at least looks new to me.
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.

That onchopristis is something else. Literally.

I didn't follow up here! I did get the hyaenodon and dinocrocuta, and they stand surprisingly well. Wiggly, but upright.

And least kind of look right. Unlike a lot of their models

Those pterosaurs and Helicoprion aren't half bad for what they are, shockingly.

It's often a relative thing with these Italian soft and squishy figures; some aren't bad, others are pretty atrocious. The sad part is that they often have marketing artwork that, if rendered as the figure, would be awesome (if stylized).

The Helicoprion looks almost identical to the existing one. Maybe the mouth is a little redder? But the overall paint scheme looks the same. I wonder if in actual production it will be any different.

Glad the mammals worked out. Every Onchopristis is something else, even PNSO's.

Good catch, I noticed that some were repaints and assumed all were.
