CollectA: New for 2023

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Minizoo just sent out a newsletter with the timetable for the new releases -

JANUARY
Triceratops
Hadrosaurus
Ruyangosaurus
Ceratosuchops
Brighstoneus
Shastasaurus
Mosasaurus

MARCH
Koolasuchus
Anomalocaris

JUNE
Stegouros

That's pretty early for a majority of the releases.  It's a shame I'm not really planning to buy any of them at this point. :/

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

So that means March, May and September for UK I think.

[Prehistory Resurrection]

[DragonRider02]

Do we know what's being retired in 2023?

[Halichoeres]

Place a big order in January, or wait and place a bigger order when Koolasuchus is out? Decisions, decisions.

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

An A @Andysdinosaurreviews already got the whole bunch at home? Well, good for everyone i would say

@Halichoeres January. So the Koolasuchus has its own Spotlight when it ships to you.

[SenSx]

Oh did not expect Koolasuchus to be that big.

I am getting a lot of their extant stuff to, so I'll have good purchases all three times LOL.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Could wait until they are more available..I guess it all depends how much you want them.

Why does the figure actually look pretty good

[SidB]

I agree with Andy, the dark wash really makes a significant impact on the overall paintwork of the figure. For once I'm pleasantly surprised at a CollectA for this.

That's a pretty good idea actually. Very exciting to be getting another temnospondyl after so many years.

[Pliosaurking]

This figure looks much nicer than I originally thought. Honestly might be better than their deluxe version. I don't have the deluxe one, so I might just get this little fella instead.

Here's my updated crew of CollectA cutthroats!

L to R: Jolly Roger, Bowsprit, Salmagundi, Manowar, Capt. Black Bart, Keelhaul, Long Ben Every, Anne Bonny, and Cutlass.

As you can see, Black Bart is the longest prehistoric sea creature CollectA's done yet. Also the largest Mosasaurus figure that I'm aware of outside of Mattel and Recur.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who likes naming their prehistoric marine life. I have a large Kaiyodo Elasmosaurus I named Harpoon and the last 1:1 model I made of a Dolichorynchops I named Flounder lol

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

CollectA is a driving Force to me when it comes to Dinosaur Figures. PNSO hyped up the whole game with a new Standard. And new Prices. CollectA gets better and better, i almost sound like a fanboy now.

[Prehistory Resurrection]

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I'm not ashamed to admit I have never heard of this species before. Those front teeth looks a bit human sort of like he's smiling lol

[SidB]

Ordered a Ruyangosaurus from Minizoo this morning. By recent experience, shipping is faster and cheaper than from the UK (post Brexit woes?).
