Does Sideshow still do dinosaur Christmas ornaments?


Blade-of-the-Moon

They haven't done one since the first was released.

DinoLord

I thought they did two? The Euoplocephalus and Brachiosaurus babies

The Euoplo wasn't a Christmas ornament. If you tried to hang that on your tree, it'd probably topple over...unless you are one of those people who has a real tree at Christmas time ;)

Wasn't there a baby Styracosaurus too?



Does anyone know whether the ornaments hollow to save weight? That would make sense if it's going to be hung from a Christmas tree.

DinoLord

Ah I see. What I was thinking was smaller sculptures easier on both collection space and the wallet.

Blade-of-the-Moon

The Styracosaurus there was created by a Sideshow forum member..he planned to do one for each piece i nthe line but I guess interest fell off.

The Brachio ornament is hollow cast..but pretty durable. I knocked mine off the table once and it hit the floor and rolled..no damage.

The Ankylosaur is the 2nd in a line of more affordable pieces, the pterosaur was first.  Each was only around 100.00 when released. But collectors gobbled them up quick.

DinoLord

Is there a general annual timeline for new Sideshow pieces to be announced? Hopefully all these reissues don't mean less upcoming new sculpts...  :-\

Wow! Urzeitshop got a bunch of Sideshow statues from a collector.
The Apatosaurus was sold for EUR 450.00 and the Tyrannosaurus was gone in seconds for EUR 590.00 :o.

We haven't seen a newly coloured re-issue of the later yet.
Maybe we never will, because they're offering a new T. rex next year :-\.
That would probably make the Krentz Tyrannosaurus the most sought after Sideshow Dinosaur in the future.

They should seriously considering re-releasing the Euoplo baby in another color. And for $49.  >:D ;D

GeorgeLaw

My kids seem to absolutely love these sideshow collectibles, they just can't get enough of dinosaurs!! Too bad the sideshows are so expensive.


Arul

Im saving for mosasaur now im really want to have it because the center of gravity is amazing and it look like a truly cold blooded killer :D look perfect for diorama model too

I agree! I have actually contacted SSC staff and some others about this, but never received any answers  :-[

Paleogene Pals

Dan's Dinosaur's website says the release date for the spino is October 31? Is that still a go? I can't wait ! My first Sideshow Dinosauria.

Martin garrat just post his new arrival mosasaur statue by sideshow on his fb account !!

postsaurischian

  :D I got my Mosasaur statue (600/1000), it's freakin' AWESOME! I'm very happy with it.
      Already one of my favourite models. Some more pics here.


Shonisaurus

Of course the figures are outstanding, worth to be as expensive, but it is still a good investment, it also needs a spacious house to contain such gems.

I would love to have the money (and space) for the Sideshow Dinosaurs, but alas I do not. Though a lot of the remakes look spectacular I have to say from the images I liked how the Spinosaurus looked before the repaint, now he just looks....ill?

Arul

Ill...hehehe maybe you right i think so  :P

;) Perhaps, heh. The browns they put on him just look so meh. But hey if I somehow save to buy one of these maybe someone on eBay will have the original Sideshow Spinosaurus. :)
