Beautiful Dinosaur mix

[Simon]

The fact that the new Favorite are all Araki sculpts makes them all collectable.  The style is a little more cartoonish than the previous batch - at least when it comes to the "faces" he's put on a few of them like the Steg, but they certainly have a lot more character.

I am still drooling.  They haven't shown up on JAUCE yet, so I don't know how widely they have been released in Japan as yet.  Hopefully a few outlets will pick them up here in the US, like Black Hills Institute.

i will probably get this new ankylo anyway since it's quite appealing and of course there's that Araki charm)

Really a great figure. Too bad I haven't bought any of that set, yet.

[Patrx]

Ah, so that's what that rex looks like! I'd never had a good look at it; since I bought the resin version it seemed redundant. Much like the others in the set, I really like the design, but the details could be much better.

Thanks stoneage .
I must admit I'm using a new camera since September. It's a  ..... let me see ..... Sony DSC-HX100V.
Big advantage: I do not have to wait for really sunny days to take pictures anymore . This camera makes sharp pictures even with dimmed light . There's also pretty good zooming - I didn't have that before. I'm still a beginner and have to learn a lot about the camera's features but it seems the pics are better than before although I'm not doing anything different .

[Ikessauro]

Awww! Those Arakis are great, but certainly they don't look as lifelike as the older favorite like. They are glowy, cartonish as someone said. In the end the sculpts are very cool and I'll end up getting them anyways.

the Favorite figures are gorgeous. they would have looked much better if the paint didnt have a glossy finish.

I agree, it sorta looks like someone dipped them in a bucket of grease :X

That is just brilliant. 

[brontodocus]

Phew, I'm so glad it arrived in good shape... ...and in time!
I'm always worried cardboard models might get crushed in the mail.

Your new camera is really good! Even though I don't use flashlight the model is hard to photograph (at least for me) without looking overly glossy. Oh, can it stand without support now (I assume the cable helped a little)? Before I've sent it I've tested if it can stand - well, it depends on how the head is attached but it's of course very instable (at best). Mine has a little putty in both feet to lower the centre of balance but it's still quite instable.

  I'm loving the colouration.

Yes, it's the cable. I'm thinking about putting little mini-weights into the feet.

One does not see it´s made of paper, it´s just brilliant, totally agree with Himmapaan!

[sauroid]

it's beautiful.
