Tyrannosaurus by Takashi Oda from 2012 Tokyo Dinosaur Kingdom Expo. I really, really like this thing, folks. Sadly, the tail is a little under-muscled, but I really must forgive it on account of its wondrous plumage. Might work up a review, once I get my camera back from the shop; had to use a rental for this shot.

so JEALOUS!!! it's beautiful

[Seijun]

I like it up until the head.

I like it up until the head.

I agree and it is not so much because of the crest for me, just something about the head itself.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I am not a huge fan of feathering everything anyways honestly....I like the colors, but for me the legs look far too robust and not long enough for a Tyrannosaurus.  When I went and viewed Ivan, I was stunned by the size of the legs themselves and I do not see that so much here.

I suppose that feathered rex looks better than my newest addition. It is the JP Tyrannosaurus by Dakin. Now I just need the Brachiosaurus, Gallimimus and Velociraptor.

I got that Tyrannosaurus as a kid, and for ages it was my only JP-branded toy. Consequently I love the hell out of it.

I posted some in my Diorama thread. I will get more as soon as I find a better place to take some.

FINALLY got my Kaiyodo Brachio and Krentz 1/40 Rex :

The colours on that Brachio are great, they remind me of the painted Invicta Brachio and Diplodocus somewhat I like your dragons too.


I like the legs, but I find the face to be ugly. Not a fan of the feathers all that much, considering that we don't have any solid evidence for this species having feathers as of yet :/

Just my opinion, don't jump down my throat, feather fanboys

OMG!!!!! 
This Kaiyodo Brachio is AWESOME!

Congrats, Chris! What an awesomely huge thing the Dinoland Brachiosaurus is! It literally dwarfs the Sideshow Apatosaurus.

Thanks !  lol No easy thing to do either mind you !   I can easily see why this one if not the most sought after Kaiyodo model out there. I feel bad I didn't go for one much sooner..it's just too cool not to have. Looking it over the detail is marvelous..you really get a feel of power from this piece. It's in every muscle and ripple of flesh..the legs look like massive trees supporting it's bulk. I suppose it's how Grant and Ellie felt standing there looking up.

Might need to start saving for Shane's Apato now..I'm curious how it will stand up to this bruiser. ..lol

[Takama]

Sorry !

I had thought 1/20 myself..but it has to be 1/15 at the least.

[brontodocus]

Unbelievable, isn't it? I'm still dreaming of this one being released as a pre-made, eventually...


Oh, by the way - I've just received this today (with many thanks to you, Helge! ):

PinoArt Tyrannosaurus rex skull cardboard model by Katsuyuki Shiga, scale should be around 1/6th or 1/7th.

With the Rex and Allo re-releases it's a possibility for sure. I wonder what they will change on it though ?  That's why I went ahead and bought this one. It could alter the look so I don't like it as much

[Metallisuchus]

You guys are all crazy, I think the head is the best part.
