Pretty sure it's the only CollectA toy I'm getting this year.  :P

Good choice, easily the standout of the lineup. Dearc being a close second of course but the size is prohibitive.

Yeah, I like the large pterosaurs but I don't collect them. Too big.

I'll hang them in bird cages lol  I like the larger pieces. I usually have three or so of each. I think I have more Guidracos though.

I still find it odd that CollectA has yet to exploit their Supreme line for a proper 1:1 scale figure. Many miniscule species of pterosaurs and dinosaurs could quite easily fit into this series.

There is good potential for Supreme line hatchling/juvenile dinosaurs as well. I'm sure they would sell quite well especially if tied to museum exhibits.

I've voiced it a few times. a 1:1 Compsognathus, Anurognathus, or any of a multitude of hatchlings would really work for them.

A 1:1 scale dinosaur is something I would find space for.

It starts out nice..then you need a 6 acre farm..lol  ;D

A 1:1 Anurognathus would melt my heart. I already can't get enough of the JWE2 Jeholopterus, and the Ark Sinomacrops. Though I'd take any figures of these adorable little guys at this point.

They are small enough at 1:1 you could have a little colony.

They should do it with its mouth open for the beautiful juxtaposition between the giant eyes and the terrifying beartrap teeth
Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

The final release does look better than the prototype imo, especially with the blunter beak.

However, mirroring avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres 's thoughts, it isnt a "must purchase" as I had initially anticipated when the 2024 line-up was first leaked. With the amazing work HLG is doing with their ankylosaurs, I am willing to wait and see if a better (and smaller!) figure comes along.


Faelrin

avatar_crazy8wizard @crazy8wizard I forgot they made one of those. Maybe I'll hunt for it someday. They also made that one gliding reptile whose name escapes me atm that I still want.

avatar_Blade-of-the-Moon @Blade-of-the-Moon That would be fun and adorable.

So I guess we are just waiting to see the Diprotodon right?

avatar_Faelrin @Faelrin that would be Coelurosauravis! They also made a Dodo, Deinonychus(?), Smilodon, Hesperornis, some sort of whip scorpion, and Megarachne pre eurypterid reconstruction.

In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.

Thanks for the heads up! Ordered 4 :)  I had signed up to be notified but I think they keep going in my junk folder..

Halichoeres

Dang, and I JUST placed a MiniZoo order. Maybe it's time to stock up on some more plants.
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.

My trade/sale/wishlist thread

Sometimes I draw pictures

Faelrin

A @Andysdinosaurreviews shared comparison pics of the Lisowicia and the Placerias (as well as the Captivz Lystrosaurus) on his insta for folks that are curious. Lisowicia is bigger then the Placerias, but the Placerias is still sizable. Lystrosaurus is dwarfed. The Kaiyodo Lystrosaurus is even smaller, maybe even closer to scale?
