Hmm.. I guess he doesn't have the WDragon Mosasaur? That's the only comparison I really care about.

I just thought, for the DS version of this they should had the mouth open and included an in scale struggling Indominus to fit in it's mouth.  That I would have jumped on.

@nanmustudio The latest pictures sent back by the factory seem to be making good progress. Let's work harder.

Incredible  :o

I was not as impressed by their latest Spinosaurs.
But we must wait for the final versions we will get in hand.

I only have a few Nanmu figures, because I don't like the current Jurassic Park designs and prefer scientifically accurate figures.

But this T. rex looks amazing. Despite not being accurate, the JP T. rex, especially from the first movie, is such an iconic animal. And portaying this end scene is a fan favorite, so I think I'll have to get this one! Might need to get an older walking T. rex as well.  ;D

Really diggin' Typhon the Acro... Giga... Dominiosaurus.

You know, when I first saw that picture, I just thought they had both Nanmu variants  :P

They look nice, but...
we all wish Nanmu would make actual prehistoric animals and not the same JP renditions over and over again because these look great.

I would be fine if they did BOTH. I think they make a really nice mid-range product for collectors of JP/JW pieces. That said if they wanted to try for accuracy I would ok with it, of course they would be up against PNSO and even Rebor coming up on them.

I don't know that I need Nanmu to branch out into scientifically accurate models mostly because we're getting so much good stuff on that front from the likes of PNSO, HAOLONGGOOD, and even REBOR now. With the exception of limited officially licensed options, the whole JP niche has somewhat dried up and Nanmu fills that role handsomely. Plus, I imagine if they did do scientific models they would end up making them too big and unnecessarily expensive by proxy.

They do make lovely JP copies. I still think their "Buck" is the best on the market. I think the real issue besides the constant JP inspired releases, is that it is the same movie monsters over and over again.

Still not a flock of Gallimimus, the Corythosaurus from JP3, a Dilophosaurus, etc. It's always the same Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus...

But back to accuracy, they did make those two (three?) pieces that were very praised by many. Shame we won't see more of those soon.

That's true. They need to cover the other creatures in the franchise as well as the popular ones.  Oddly they haven't done a new Indominus or Indoraptor, some of their now dated pieces.

I could imagine that with Indominus and Indoraptor they are at risk of being taken to court for copyright infringement. They seem not to have an official JP / JW license. Nobody can take offense with them making normal dinosaurs, even if they look somewhat similar in style to JP / JW. But Indominus and Indoraptor are specific to the movies resp. the franchise.

I actually don't want Nanmu to make accurate dinosaurs.

I want Nanmu to make BEASTS. Even though I did not purchase Mordred, it showed me the potential of Nanmu doing creatures of pure fantasy, and my current pipedream would be for Nanmu to bring us Griffons and Minotaurs and Trolls and Dragons and other beasts of fantasy and literature.

Could you imagine a totally awesomebro 2 foot Moby Dick figure, with a little unpainted Ahab and the DLX comes with a base featuring a smashed whaleboat? Or how about a 30cm Cthulu? Vermithrax Pejorative?

That's what I want.

I'd take other pop culture creatures for sure

I'd probably be interested in these especially due to my interest in David Silva's dragons coming.

But the issue being Nanmu's Mordred did not sell so well. I've been seeing that model sitting well stocked on sites, including Aliexpress. It was high priced to begin with, but regardless it did not meet what others wanted. Shame really that the JP inspired models are that high of demand regardless of how many we got already.
