Sideshow DINOSAURIA (with poll)

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Wow. Really love that Mosa!
Wait...the stego is getting repainted too?   

That's what I've heard. The Stego was getting a repaint.  The first few pieces received the faux bronze treatment so I'm guessing those won't be re-painted again. All the ones that have been said to getting repaints are new to getting a 2nd go.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Aww, that mosasaur looks so cuddly with his stubby flippers sticking out like that Looks can be deceiving

It is pretty cool..and we're actually getting several prehistoric creatures in one piece..something not done before.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

What's the promotional shot of the Dilophosaurus for? I thought it had been already released?

The shark and the ammonite are a neat touch. It's a shame the mosasaur's tail doesn't have a caudal fin, but the the sculpt is still beautiful...

It has, but it was a cool pic so I shared it..I think he looks like a super villain.. lol

They are..as well as the coral. It could have been a blank rock base...so we're quite lucky. I've often suggested more plants and scenery would be welcome maybe this is a start.

There is a raised area there a bit ?  I'm sure Jorge had a reason for not including it if it's missing though.

Jorge Blanco is a great sculptor and it's good to see so many of his sculpts being used for the line. I wonder if Sideshow has ever contacted Shane Foulkes about producing a maquette...

Btw, is Jorge pronounced "Horg eh", or like the name "George"?

I think to call that part of the tail a fluke is stretching it a bit, to be honest Perhaps this sculpt was commissioned a while back, and has been on the back burner for a while? That might explain why the fluke is absent.

Shane has said if they wanted him to do a piece he would be more than happy to.  Not that I don't love Jorge work but I did like it when different artists were on the project.

I've no idea..lol I pronounce it " George " .

After I see the whole piece from every angle ..if it's missing I'll ask Jorge..maybe this species wasn't found with one or a tail so he had some leeway ?

Honestly, if you look at the End of the tail, I think the would not of been able to put a fluke on.

I think its God trying to tell ME to get this piece.

But in seriousness I am considering making this my first Sideshow statue and I feel that something superstitious put that photo there to egg me on.

Care to explain? It would be very easy to sculpt a fluke on the tail, especially for a gifted sculptor such as Jorge Blanco

P.S. It's "would have", not "would of". Sorry, I just see that grammar mistake all the time and it's annoying.

Im saying the tale is close to the floor of the base, and the fluke would be bent a little.

PS. Sorry not the best at Grammar (Just Ask Dr. Admin, He seen my Writing )

For the price you'd be paying for this statue, I highly doubt you would see such a compromise on anatomy like that, just for convenience sake. Maybe on a toy, but not a $200+ high end polystone maquette.

Plus, lizards have very bendy tails. I don't see why the tail couldn't have flexed

That seems like a very probable explanation

Jorge is a pretty thorough paleo-artist I trust his judgement so we'll see.

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Plus, at any rate, it's a pretty sick model.

" you talkin' to me ? "

I think it has a personality of a dolphin.

[tyrantqueen]

I hope we see the promotional image soon

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I figure we will see official pics this month sometime.

[postsaurischian]

? I'd prefer a swim with a Dolphin .

But wouldn't it be awesome to see it swimming in the sea?
Or maybe an aquarium,that'd be fine

The look of it and the pose..it gives me a dolphin vibe.



Not sure I'd trust it enough to swim with though..

Sure ... if your dolphin looks like Godzilla ...
