They look around the same size as Rebor's? maybe a bit larger?

How accurate is the scale on Nanmu figures?
I know they claim to be 1/35, but some of them seem a little large to me (and I'm pretty sure their Dragon Soul is larger than the mainline entries). Is that actually the case or are they accurate to the size of the Jurassic Park animals depicted?
Does anyone have any comparisons with accurately scaled 1/35 figures to help me see the difference?

I find having figures all in scale with each other supremely satisfying, but I only have a handful of Nanmu for budget reasons, so if you have a great 1/35 collection displayed together, I'd enjoy seeing that as well in considering further acquisitions.

Nanmu is more "around" the same size than the same scale. Maybe the theropods are?

There newer stuff isn't really, some of them are possibly. I'm pretty sure the Original Spinosaurus and the raptor squad is 1:35 ish, they look about so with everything else in that scale range on my shelf. The Dragon soul one definitely isn't neither most of the other nanmu figures I own, including the Buck Rex, trikes, old Giga, Sinoceratops, Ceratosaurus or Apatosaurus.
Here are the raptor squad and orginal spino to get an idea of the scale:

the only ones in 1/35 are velociraptors, the others are from 1/30 to 1/33
but in my opinion, everyone looks great together

I feel like Nanmu has a sliding scale based on how awesomebro the model is...

I can see that..specifically the amount of teeth and claws it has plays a big part.

I wonder which shops will offer this sale? I'll definitely be taking advantage of this sale when it happens!

Carnoking

Yes, it would be nice to know who all is participating. That sounds like a heck of a deal.

Blade-of-the-Moon

Ever the devil's advocate, I wonder if it was a less than stellar year for Nanmu in terms of profit?

However, a Nanmu Dreadnoughtus would sell like hot cakes. ;)

They seemed to have had some successful releases this year. Although its popularity is beyond me, the King of the Border has been in and out of stock at various retailers, while their dragon soul series has been selling out left and right, and they're capping off the year with a sure seller T. rex release. Not sure how the unpainted figures have been doing as far as other lines go but by and large their usual releases seem to have been fairly popular.

Of course, there may be plenty of old, less popular stock not moving that retailers may want to get rid of before taking on new products (looking at you, Mordred.) Or this could be a bid on Nanmu's part to do away with their old lines and do a total focus shift on what they want to sell.

Now their Spinosaurus unpainted kit, I'm not sure how the sales are, but for the Tyrannosaurus I've seen positivity.

There's numerous artist on instagram showing them off. A lot of people are saying they're one of the best cheaper alternatives for a Stan Winston kit, resembling the JP Tyrannosaurus very well.
