[ZoPteryx]

Man those new Favorite figures are cool!   Congrats on those and the super cool models Postsaurischian!

[brontodocus]

Uhm... uhm... Dear Mr. Araki-san, please forgive me! The Spinosaurus is excellent!

[Gryphoceratops]

Yay, I'm really impressed by the new Favorite Styracosaurus. Just when I thought I didn't like Araki's sculpts that much anymore...

What has he done wrong?


                                                   ....... well. here's another Araki :

I'm very happy with how it turned out! I'm glad you like it, too . I've been loving the coloration from the first moment I saw your picture.

                                                                                     Tyrannosaurus



                         



                                                                                     Feathered T. rex

                         



                                Both figures come with bases. Mine can stand without, so I didn't use them for the pics.

Incredible. Have you got the allosaurus?

[brontodocus]

Ah! How come I hadn't realized how different the new Tyrannosaurus figures are - one with and one without feathers? And two really massive looking ones, by the way. Oh, and your Morphos arrived yesterday many thanks!

[tyrantqueen]

I think I'll go for the brown one when it is released here. I already have two green Rexes (Papo) anyway, so some variety is good.

I have to say that the teeth on those rexes are quite crudely carved and sloppily painted though.

Sorry, no Allosaurus ....... yet.

Oh, and your Morphos arrived yesterday many thanks!

May they bring you good luck !

I think I'll go for the brown one when it is released here.

I agree. I like the brown one much better.

     Favorite 2012 Dinosaur Softmodel series  Stegosaurus  (designed by Kazunari Araki)

[Seijun]

I liked the steg until I got to its missing cheeks. Personal preference I guess, but I find it creepy.

The styrac is gorgeous, and I really like the brown rex. The styrac in particular is my favorite styrac toy to date.  The spinosaurus is a bit of a mystery to me because the head is wrong. Def not as wrong as giving it a JP spino head, but it is still very poor compared to a real spino skull. Araki is a skilled and obviously very knowledgeable paleoartist, so I am confused about why his spinos's head is not more accurate.

[tyrantqueen]

Stego is nice, apart from that same recycled colour scheme again...

[Gryphoceratops]

I think the head on that stegosaurus is too big. 

[Jetoar]

I like the Stego. Even I see the plates of his throat  but I think the same that Gryphoceratops.

[copper]

the dinoland parasaurolophus is very beautiful, that color scheme suits him/her perfectly. and i love the photo with the butterflies.

[postsaurischian]

I think the head on that stegosaurus is too big.

That's right, and the front feet's toes are also wrong, but I like its expression .
At least this Stego has 17 plates and I think it's the first toy figure with this feature (except for the Kaiyodo Dinoland Stegosaurus which was also designed by Araki, but I'm not sure if it counts as a toy).

the dinoland parasaurolophus is very beautiful, that color scheme suits him/her perfectly. and i love the photo with the butterflies.

  Thank you copper.
Finally someone appreciates the struggling I had to keep these butterflies in position .

     Favorite 2012 Dinosaur Softmodel series  Ankylosaurus  (designed by Kazunari Araki)

[Jetoar]

Beautiful ankilo. I like the colors  .

[Seijun]

How would you rate the hip width of the anky? I can't tell from the photos. The side profile is very nice though.

[postsaurischian]

Beautiful ankilo. I like the colors  .

Me too. I guess that purple lipstick makes it a She .

How would you rate the hip width of the anky? I can't tell from the photos. The side profile is very nice though.

The hips are once again not wide enough . Somehow the companies don't wanna do that. The hips on the first series' Ankylosaurus Euoplocephalus were even wider.
But thinking about it - even the Krentz Ankylosaurus doesn't have those wide hips. Is it really the only true theory?

what about shane foulkes' 1/18 ankylosaurus? i've been searching for a long time good ankylosaurus that would be accurate and pretty to look at.
