Quote from: Faelrin on August 02, 2023, 03:59:34 PMavatar_Blade-of-the-Moon @Blade-of-the-Moon Easily two of their best figures this year. Congrats on getting them.

Thanks! I had to keep from ordering the Trike from Japan..lol  I honestly love the detail and does scale with the mainline Rexes. I think my only disappointment was the size as I had thought it was similar to the mosasaur so I was thinking it was as large as the Tsukuda lol which would almost make it a super colossal.

HC Brachiosaurus came in a day early, very surprised it beats out the HC version for me. It took some tries but it can stand upright.



I'm interested in seeing this picture, but for some reason it's not shown. Could it be a problem from the pic hosting site, or something on my end?

I share from FB usually so you need a fb account and they also change links frequently. It's not ideal but I haven't had time to open an account anywhere else.

These pics and more should be in my album there:  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10211585520210139&type=3

The link reads "content unavailable", unfortunately. Thank you for the link anyway. Are you a member of any JP toys group on FB? If so I will check there, I'm mostly interested in seeing how the Trike scales next to the Tsukuda one.

That Triceratops is very nice! I don't have the Tsukuda, so could you take a picture of it compared with the Roarivores Triceratops?

Grabbed the Elasmosaurus on the shelf at Target yesterday, be on the lookout everyone! The action features are GREAT!

So the Ptrosaurus that did not have teeth get teeth and the ones that didn't don't??? WHAT?!

Faelrin

The pros:
-Pycnofibers
-The articulation
-Missing teeth aside, decent skull shape
-Coloration

The cons:
-The skull lacks teeth
-They gave the hands an extra digit
-Bad distribution (likely)

Aside from the figures quirks, I'd like to get my hands on this one. I'm still behind on the Borealopelta, etc though so who knows when I will get to it.

I'm excited to own this one since Ornithocheirid figures are few and far between. I'm just baffled that every single toothless pterosaur species Mattel has made (Except Quetzalcoatlus) has gotten teeth but this one doesn't have any. If the distribution on these isn't too atrocious I might get an extra and sculpt in teeth myself.

I  said this exact same thing on FB earlier today lol

Picked up the Ornithocheirus today after seeing it while out Sunday and waffling; I don't really like Mattel's lack of accurate dentition in almost all of their pterosaurs...but I like rarer genera and it's otherwise not a bad figure, plus who knows when I'd see another.

I got the Xuanhaosaurus a while back, ending up using in play as a Yutyrannus ;D

Picked up the Borealopelta this past weekend at my local Walmart. Xuanhanosaurus and Prestosuchus were there too. Distribution seems to have improved with this wave.
