They're trying to get as much as they can out of the license. My guess is some new pieces aren't selling as well as they hoped?  Like an actual feathered Pegasus maybe... ?

Just received the notice that the Harryhausen Medusa is preparing to charge at Sideshow so  I guess it will be shipping soon.

Life reconstruction and fossil replica. It just says "Trilobite," but I think it might be Olenoides serratus? Maybe B @bmathison1972 can shed some light.


An ammonite labeled "Nautilus," which is a little bit like labeling an antelope as a kangaroo.

Both are available for pre-order at Big Bad Toy Store: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/search?HideInStock=false&HidePreorder=false&HideSoldOut=false&InventoryStatus=i,p,so&PageSize=20&SortOrder=BestSelling&o=4&Company=442&Series=31913
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

the boxed trilobite does look like Olenoides (from what I can see here); hard to say if the two are supposed to be the same species (?). I won't be getting either of these, so I won't have the opportunity to study them upclose

Thanks, Blaine! I want to like these, but they're not well executed enough to tempt me. I was a little disappointed in my previous Wonders of the Wild purchases.

Yeah I don't think so. For that price I can get nice REAL ones lol

More from the Wonders of the Wild line:


A repaint of the mammoth with a dusting of snow.


Spinosaurus skull


Tyrannosaurus skull

I think both animals already have better skull models on the market, so I'm not sure there's much point to these, but I guess we'll see how they sell.

I agree, there are some quite better pieces out there. the 2.0 Mammoth is worth it only if you missed the first one or want to make a herd.

I don't mean to hate on it, but the cast and paint look a bit rough on him?

I collect T.rex AND I collect X-Plus.

This piece SUCKS.

I certainly hope Cooper had opportunity to approve/deny this product.

Medusa is a stellar piece. I'm not really bothered by the wider hips though it is a difference from the film version. Be very careful with those arrows fyi. They are easily broken.

I'd sure like a vinyl version of that Ceratosaurus from One Million Years BC they did...

I have the resin one and it's a beast. I probably wouldn't do a vinyl myself as I bought the vinyl triceratops and then they made a resin one..I hate double dipping and at that price too..

I do wish they would make more dinosaurs..it's like Ray had a shortage of them lol

I can vouch for Awesome Collector/Jason Welling, been a long time customer. It's a one-man deal still I think so be patient with him when communicating. He is a traditional middle-man, importing stuff the old fashioned way, so expect wait times similar to BBTS. His specialty are the exclusives and Japan-Market-Only stuff in the Kaiju arena.
