I'd shoot a message to your detail of choice in Europe and ask first..then if it will be too long, contact Dan or Dejankins..both have them in stock and ship internationally.

Yep. I'm about 5 minutes from crawling off to bed..so you'll forgive me. heh

So I finally got around to getting the Suchomimus. Mine must be one of the better painted since I don't see whole lot of the problems with sloppy paint job that I saw from others. Anyway, it's a nice figure... although it could use a visit to the dentist  :))


Gotta have a fish, right? ;D


As I examined it, I had a feeling that I have seen this very pose before  ;) Aha! Now I know, looking at it side-by-side with the CollectA Afrovenator, now you can see how very similar these two figures are to each other! ;D Down to the almost the last details of the pose! ;D
It made me appreciate how nice a figure the Afrovenator really is despite some anatomical flaw. :)

Great photos!

Still not feeling the Sucho.  I see they used the old 'claw tips for balance' trick.  Which is a good idea for added support in a fishing pose, but somehow it ended up looking like a figure that tipped forward rather than a more natural pose. 

Not a bad figure by any stretch, but not one I'd feel compelled to rush out and buy.

I think the fish you put in the mouth helps the pose somehow.

I like the idea the  Sucho doesn't have a molded in food item.  You can place anything in there.  :)

The poses ..well there are only so many ways you pose a figure right ?

Yes, but this particular pose is so overdone for Spinosaurids.

I guess not everyone of us here has watched that abomination of a show called Monster Resurrected.

Unless someone was being sarcastic.. lol

I watched it on tv..it was..entertaining at the least. ;)

The Paralititan were decent in it, maybe because they were barely in it

I fell asleep within 10 minutes. Just overplaying footage, and I still hate it!

I got the Suchomimus yesterday. It's heads a bit weird, but the rest of it fantastic. It doesn't even have clown feet. (Then again, it in the typical dinosaur fishing pose)

What was weird about the head ? Aside from the paint being a bit off here and there it's pretty accurate looking.

I think it was the paint.

Ah well that's easily fixed. :)

Actually,I think it'd be better to say 'oversized' feet rather than 'clown feet'.Yep,it's roughly the same,but given Doug said he preferred the term 'oversized feet'(and he's the sculptor) I think we should say 'oversized feet'.And yeah,I realized that a while before.I think it's a great figure (my opinion's based on there photos I've seen,I still don't have it  :'( )
A question for Doug:
Have you already started the 2015 dinosaur sculpts?  :) (No,I won't ask anything  ;) )

Concavenator

...though I still dunno if should I get the Suchomimus before than the Pachyrhino...  ???
I guess there are members who already have these figures so his/her opinion would pretty much be useful  ::)
Thanks in advance  ;)

To me the Pachyrhinosaurus is the top figure of the three :).

I've mentioned elsewhere, but up until last week, the Papo pachyrhino was my favorite toy dino of all time. Until I got to see the WS one in person. Hands down blows the Papo away. The detail, and accuracy, but also the pose. THIS as far as I have seen is THE figure to get. At least so far. Even the above pic does not do it justice. And, since I got it at the hobby shop here in town, I paid less than 11 dollars including tax. Just can't beat that.

**really though, GO GET this figure....

If you can get both..they are well worth the price tag.

I am really going to try to get the ammonite and Pachyrhinosaurus. In my opinion, they are the best figure Safari has released in years.
