Not sure about the Bistahieversor, but the Saurophaganax is awesome (the best of these three by far in my opinion). I'll probably get all three though.

Waaahhh, very good new Collectasaurs!! :) These are definitely right on the top of my want list for next year (not that it matters much, since I tend to buy every new release that's not downright bad). Looks like Collecta has once again stepped up their game and pleasantly surprised us after we almost came to fear we would only be getting five new models next year. I can only hope these will be on the same level as they appear now and nobody pulls another Mapusaur on us.

Keep up the good work, Collecta! :)

And exit Bistahieversor from the Uniqie Species list.

Didn't Krentz produce one last year ? Or does that not count ?

Nice! But there's something weird on the last pic that i just cant put my finger on.

Very nice figure, I'll definitely be getting these! ;D

Bista:  Hooray for feathered tyrannosaurids!  Really like it, though as Gryph pointed out, the ear appears to be a little too far forward.

Phaganax:  Interesting pose, will go great the dead Stego!  I want to see some clearer shots of the head.

Mosa:  Excellent design, tail fluke looks very good and the color scheme is nice.  Not sure if the flippers are the correct shape, they look almost rectangular.  I would have streamlined the head into the body, but that's just me. :))

Btw, could we get all the photos on the first page perhaps? O:-)

the Bista, Saurophaganax and Mosasaurus are all great looking models!
my only complaints:
the Sauro's paint is so similar to the Mapusaurus, and they could make the Bista's paint job a little more striking without looking gaudy.
the Mosa is perfect (for me) as it is

Fantastic line up by collectA. This beats their 2013 production by far and comes closes to their 2012 line up. I'm getting them all. :) I hope they have some more new figures in stock, maybe a mammal, a terror bird or a pre-dinosaur figure (edaphosaurus would be fantastic). The only downside of this new line up is the large number of theropods vs other species...

Exactly. So now Bistahieversor is not unique anymore. It's tough being a dinosaur model. :)

How long is the Carcharodontosaurus and the Icthyovenator? ???

So excited for the xenoceratops and carcharodontosaurus. Can't wait.

Try looking at the previous comments. The answer lies therein.

Am somewhat disappointed in the Collecta this year. I know we've beat this subject to death but I will not buy figures with stands. The smaller figures like Koreaceratops I can understand but as for the larger ones I feel they should be able to make them without bases. Just my preference.

It would have been better if the figures had been removable from the bases, I think.

I'm wondering, is that such a big deal? Aren't these ending up on shelves anyway? Bases limit playability, but I think the overwhelming majority of the people on this forum don't actually play with their figures, or do they?  ^-^

Just a personal preference, besides, mine do not end up on shelves.

A little work with a hobby knife and you can remove them..but they will still have issues standing up.
