I commented on that post. I mentioned I would like a Theri for sure.

May hold off on this one til they release a Theri. I'm not sure all three will fit together?

And Therizinosaurus is also coming soon

I must be in the minority here for preferring Nanmu's Giga. There's just something "off" about the Dino Freak offering. Then again, it's a pretty off design to begin with so maybe I like Nanmu's because they managed to make it look less off

Interested to see how those 1/30 scale raptors pan out. I'm still sorely tempted by their 1/15 counterparts

Blade-of-the-Moon

I have seen where the they did use a Giga skeleton to base the creature off of for the film as well. They just added a few things to make it different looking.

Nanmu was great for when they were made, the Dragon Soul version which is more accurate than the general run one.  I'm going to have to decide what to keep and what to sell though. I'm getting too many similar JP/JW pieces..

The raptors are 1/30 and not 1/35?
I hope they still scale with the Nanmu...

DD has said this line will be 1/30. I wouldn't worry too much about Nanmu scaling. Most of their animals seem larger than 1/35, no matter what scale they claim.

Yes of course and the difference between 1/30 and 1/35 would be tiny anyway.
I wish Dino Dream would make velociraptors with closed mouth though, we've only seen open ones.

This 1/30 Giga is the same size as 1/35 Nanmu, so probably they will all look good together

Blade-of-the-Moon

Looks like they posted some final pics :




Looks good, especially the angle above.   I wish it was looking the other way, would fit on my shelf better.

Still not sure which of my Nanmu's I'm parting with to make room..yet.

Blade-of-the-Moon

The detail looks nice but it's still not the first film version I'd prefer or even the TLW Bull Rex.

Blade-of-the-Moon

They showed a couple pics of the baby Rex in the cage today :

DD shared concept pics of the two fighting LW Raptors :

Blade-of-the-Moon

DD posted new finished pics of the Rex on their FB page:



Looks nice but I just don't need another JP Rex.  The arms look pretty big too?
