Moderators or @DinoToyForum, can we get a new for 2024 sub-board? Thanks!

I quite like it. Fits with CollectA's penchant for making recent genera. But I am again disappointed to not be getting a damn Anurognathus. 

[Prehistory Resurrection]

CollectA is excellent at Deluxe Pterosaurs and very glad to see more joining the flock. Dearc was discovered in Scotland and it's nice to see CollectA tackling yet more British species; Brighstoneus, Ceratosuchops and now this one, being UK-based.  It even got teeth of British people, lol . It's also a recently discovered speices, which fits CollectA. The coloration on the head reminds me of modern-day Northen gannet. Really like the coloration of the body also.
There's a Dearc from a Palaeoplushies too;

[Carnoking]

Not feeling this one but that's okay seeing as these big deluxe figures are tricky to display.

A good rhamphorhynchid figure, finally!  I like it, but I think whether I get it will depend on its size.  I'm not keen on having giant pterosaurs.  I'm happy the rumor list appears to be true!

[Prehistory Resurrection]

The figure measures thirty-nine centimetres in length and it stands 15.5 cm tall, according to Everything Dinosaur's post.

[Sim]

Yes, thanks, I just finished reading Everything Dinosaur's blog post.  I'm not sure about getting this figure, it's bigger than I would like.  But it is a rhamphorhynchid, one of my favourite types of animal and I don't have a figure from this group.

[Concavenator]

@Sim This is just a recommendation, but if you have space issues, I would recommend getting rid of figures of species you're not really interested in, so you would have more space for cases like this: figures of animals you like.

[Sim]

Thanks @Concavenator!  I was running out of space again after starting to collect extant animal figures but I resolved that by moving figures around.  I have done what you suggested too, letting go of my PNSO Machairoceratops which I was just finding bland.  I plan to do another review of my collection soon with the aim of parting with figures I no longer enjoy.

[PrimevalRaptor]

Love CollectA doing local species and really like the color on this one too. Being a pretty recent discovery and another Rhamphorhynchid is very welcome too.

The leak is true

[suspsy]

The leak might not be all true. There have been such leaks in the past where not all the listed items proved to be legitimate.

[bmathison1972]

Nice Dearc but too big for me.

At least among the extant reveals, I get the common cuttlefish

[DragonRider02]

I wish it didn't have the black stripe above the teeth, it looks a bit too much like it was added with a black marker.

Also, did they paint on claws on tip of the pteroid bones? What a weird mistake to make.

[Faelrin]

@DragonRider02 Agreed. The paint looks really poorly applied all over. A shame because this is the first figure of this genus.

[Lynx]

I think the paint looks fine, I'm sure it'll be better in person.

[ceratopsian]

It is huge. I'll see how I feel when it comes out!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I'll get three or four of them for the Park.

[DefinitelyNOTDilo]

Previously I would have dismissed this as I used to only collect 1:35 scale, but after picking up the collecta dimorphodon on vacation I've become somewhat enamored with these larger pterosaurs, so I may just try and get my hands on this one.
