Wild Past - New for 2022

[Thialfi]

Hi, before there are any rumors about my condition: I'm fine :-D
There's a reason I didn't let you hear so much via social media, which I also posted. Unfortunately, my PC was infected with malware, which often led to strange posts and answers via my Facebook account (e.g. private pictures were attached). So I'm holding back a bit. But these are not the only reasons, because a lot is happening in the background.

1. Majungasaurus and Scutosaurus
There was final color tuning this month and unfortunately we do have stability issues with the Majungasaurus which are currently being attempted to be fixed. Unfortunately, it won't be as elegant as we had hoped.
I also have the chance to take a step forward in coloring and our tools with the help of a staff member from a popular company.

2. For the past few months we've been thinking about how to deal with the Shapeways theme. We tried to keep the prices there as low as possible. Unfortunately, we hardly earn anything from the figures there due to the high fees. That's why we decided to offer our figures as 3D prints in our own shop. These have a higher level of detail in comparison at the same price and the shipping costs within Europe and the world are quite stable. The offer in this shop is also supplemented by figures from other artists (DinoZoo for example). But there will be information about this from time to time. The plan is to start with the first models this week. I am working on a small series myself, which one or the other will certainly like as a supplement.

3. Production of next figures
While you're waiting for the Majungasaurus and Scutosaurus, I've already got offers from other manufacturers to compare what's possible. Surprisingly/fortunately, it looks like there is no viable alternative to our manufacturing facility in Germany.

4. Personal turmoil
Yes, the last 4 months there have been some changes in my personal life which are now unfolding in February. It was/is a wild mix of negative and positive experiences. Ultimately, I was able to reduce the working hours in my main job and have free time for all my projects and can therefore advance Wild Past in a more targeted manner.

5. Dinotoycollector.com
Here, too, there are far-reaching changes. My original code was just, well, half good and somehow worked. It has already been converted and in the future will bring the possibility of working more modularly on the site. The site will look different but will bring nice features with it in the near future.

I hope this can provide some clarity on various things. Of course I'll be more than happy to check back here if I have any questions.

Thanks for the updates @DinoToyCollector! Looking forward to what the future brings!

Nice to see updates! I love my Tethyshadros pair.

Hoping stability issues get worked out with the Majungasaurus. My hope would be that you decide to just give it a good detachable base like the standing Tethyshadros figure has, even if the Majungasaurus ends of being unstable without it. At least we would have the option. A good compromise in my mind.

Good luck with whatever happens, can't wait to see the finished pieces.

Thanks for this update, @DinoToyCollector.  Best to stop rumours before they start!

I'm very interested to hear about the decision to move from Shapeways to your own shop, especially as you will be including prints from other artists.  Sounds exciting!

[Flaffy]

Thanks for the update as well!

Unfortunately, it seems that my concerns regarding "snow-shoes" were justified. Like @Gwangi said, a detachable base like the male Tethyhadros would work better both for both stability and playability.

Thanks so much for the update, @DinoToyCollector !

Wild Past is one of my favourite lines and for me each release is most anticipated.
These new plans are really exciting and whichever solution you come up with for the Majungasaurus I am sure will work well and be tastefully executed. It looks like a really great sculpt of this theropod and you've also done it in actual 1:35 scale! Looking forward to seeing the colour scheme.

The updates for the 3D printed part of the line are especially exciting, at least in Europe they will be much more accessible; and it sounds like for other parts of the world too.
Thanks for all the work you are doing for dinosaur fans, it is appreciated!

Great to know you're fine @DinoToyCollector and that news are still coming.

Thanks for the update as well!

That would be a pretty good solution.

Looking forward to seeing the colour scheme.

I imagine it will have this color scheme:

@DinoToyCollector I am glad to hear you are well, despite having run into some issues in the past. I have missed your presence here.

@DinoToyCollector  What's this I see?
Are you teaming up with D @Doctor Velociraptor for new copies of their limited run Kaatedocus figure???

Oh wow, that's great news!

[Halichoeres]

Looks like it would be an unpainted 3d print, right?

[Flaffy]

Are we sure it's not just a file to 3D-print ourselves?

[Renecito]

Looks like it would be an unpainted 3d print, right?

That's what I understand.

[Grimbeard]

Really exicted about how the painted Scutosaurus (and  Kotlassia!) will turn out! Also looking forward to the overall of Dinotoycollector.com. Thanks for the extensive update!

Thanks for this info @DinoToyCollector. I have my eye on the Kaatedocus!  I missed out on ordering the model and would be happy to get a print painted.

And done!
If you haven't ordered any of our Shapeway models so far, you can directly order them from us now. There are the known models + 2 models from Dinozoo. All of the prints are unpainted like the ones at Shapeways. Since this is my first Shop I am open for suggestion to make this experience a good one. We have more models to come soon, so check the Shop regularly or just be around here :-)
If you have questions about the shop or prints please ask me - maybe I can do a FAQ section for the Shop.

Here's the link to our shop

@DinoToyCollector  I have placed an order on your site, but not sure if you have charged me postage or not. If not let me know and I'll see if I can pay it a different way

[Bokisaurus]

Great news! Looking forward to placing orders 😃

B @Bokisaurus
First: thanks for your order. I really appreciate it.
I got 2 orders and one charged postage and one did not. I have to take a look into it. Thanks for reporting.

[ceratopsian]

I sent you a message via your site, @DinoToyCollector, to say the site didn't charge me postage for the Kaatedocus.  So I held off from paying until I know the true total.
