Walking with Dinosaurs 3D toys - new for 2013

[Jetoar]

Wonderful feathered dinosaurs figures and Gorgo is very cool. I like all  . I hope to see this bags in Spain  .

[Brontozaurus]

Is there any way to tell what figure is in the bag? They seem like they'd be pretty easy to feel through the foil. Or do they come in plastic boxes inside the foil, like heroclix figures?

I guess they will be inside the foil without the plastic boxes, so it will be easy to understand what's there

I dont find the thread of the movie here, but you can see more characters and the dinosaurs!

Edmontonia is Ankylosaurus?! Wait its an ankylosaurid, not Ankylosaurus! Krentz you know why they called Ankylosaurus, the Edmontonia?

Argos are selling a box of the models for £11.99:

Not sure if they are in their stores or just available on-line. There's an Argos near where I work so I'll have a looksie in my lunch break and see if they have them.

I usually like small figures due to lack of space, but agree with Leidy that the execution isn't so good with these dinos toppling over. This was also a problem with the similar sized and marketed DinoWaurs Survival figures (and I thought that Marx had solved this problem in the 60s!)

To be honest, I don't really think eleven pounds is worth it. They are pretty small and not amazingly detailed. I'd rather spend my money on a single, well detailed toy. Quality over quantity Although I like the Alexornis a lot.

Maybe some better toys will be released later?

[Crackington]

Fair point TQ and they're really twelve quid, plus I'm not sure if Argos would charge any postage from an on-line sale.

I only bothered with a few of of the Dinowaurs figures for the reasons you point out, but I do think these look better on balance.

I took a comparison pic next to Safari's feathered dinosaurs.  I think these are better:



The Troodon is quite possibly the best figure in the whole set.  It is certainly the most dynamic pose.  Same old 'balance on the wingtips' trick, but it works beautifully.  Quality paint and plastic too.



I highly recommend this.



Another Pachy joins the group:



"Bulldust"

Neutral pose, but fine detailing and a better paintjob than the other 3.

I had a certain amount of success resetting the figures with a fan heater.  Troodon had balance issues easily fixed by this process.  Gorgosaurus straightened out a bit, but the legs are still too rubbery.  I was lucky enough to find a second Gorgosaurus, this one molded from a harder plastic.  When I had this one straightened out, I found it actually does have a sweet spot.  It's not easy , but you actually can balance this one.   It was still standing the next day.




I can find the same spot with the rubbery Gorgon, and it looks like it's gonna work, but after about a minute it tips over.  Alexornis has similar problems. 

The complete series 1:



My other solution to balance the troublesome Gorgosaurus was Parksosaurus' tail.

Yes, if you don't mind looking like a bit of a plonker.

The WWD merchandise was in a quiet corner of the shop, so it didn't bother me.  You can predict what you're getting with about 90% certainty.  I was only wrong once. 

I only bothered with a few of of the Dinowaurs figures for the reasons you point out, but I do think these look better on balance.

I have a T.rex from Dinowaurs.  That was about enough to satisfy my curiosity there, I didn't feel any need to pursue them further.  I dunno if it's a good representation of that line, but these are significantly superior.

I love the color and look of the Troodon there.. Its very Hoatzin like! I wish the movie version had as much color:

[Seijun]

They are all wonderful. I'm sad that argos only sells 6 of them on their website. Are these going to become more widely available soon?

[ITdactyl]

I want that screaming quetz..... pls help me get that screaming quetz..... ugh.....

[Jetoar]

Cool Trooddon, I like all minifigures of WWD  .

[sauroid]

how big are these figures?

[CityRaptor]

Judging by the pics, they should be around the size of the figures in the Safari Toobs.

UK only?

I wonder why the UK is getting more merch than anywhere else right now?

Also, if some of you folks in the US would be interested in getting the blind bag of toys mentioned earlier, here's a link to an auction that ships worldwide

In Amazon  :

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Nice find ! Definitely getting an Ultimate Gorgon figure !

My guess is that the toy company producing the figures is UK based so they're getting early distribution ..just like with Papo, CollectA, ect.

Here's their page : http://www.vividtoysandgames.co.uk/index.php/brands/walking-with-dinosaurs

But nothing on it really yet.

[ChrisLikesDinos]

I will definitely but the "Ultimate Gorgon" toy! I hope they have more Dinosaurs, particularly ultimate's planned.

[Hermes888]

Am I the only one who doesn't like the "Ultimate Gorgon" toy? I find the seams in the figure rather unsightly.
