[tyrantqueen]

I'm just now seeing these new figures for the first time, and all I can say is... ouch :/

I haven't seen you online for a long time. Welcome back to the forum

Yeah..Schleich just doesn't much care for accuracy anymore it seems. When you can feel your pockets regardless I guess it doesn't much matter. :/

Truly, this is a terrible thread for her to get reacquainted here...head over to the Papo, CollectA or Safari threads (I don't think we have any 2014 Mojo previews yet).

True...it's not like there is much to discuss in it at any rate. heh

Ugh. Just, ugh... That dromaeosaur looks so freaking pathetic! I'm sorry but what comes to my mind when I see that picture is "hey look, we are being accurate! We have feathers on our raptors arm!" That dromaeosaur is so ugly. The others are also bad, but that raptor takes the cake!

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got Schleich's 2014 Catalogue. Those are not replacements. They are also of the normal-sized range.
The Therizinosaurus and Velociraptor can both move their arms and jaws, the Tyrannosaurus its jaws.
Numbers and Names, as written in the catalogue:
14 528 Tyrannosaurus Rex, hellgrün
14 529 Therizinosaurus
14 530 Velociraptor, grün
14 531 Pentaceratops

Grün is green, hellgrün is light green.

What do you mean by Normal Sized range?  You mean the World of History Collection  or those Small dinos collection?

I would assume the  World of History..or their main range as the " normal " sized ones..as opposed to miniature or smaller pieces.

NO COMMENT for these... T___T     

Looks like Schleich finally ran out of brown paint.

These two are really awesome.  They look like characters from Primal Rage.

I might actually get the Pentaceratops.  And if it wasn't for the wrists, I might even consider the Therizinosaurus.  There's a lot of other less glaring anatomical errors, but they still seem like fun.  I think kids will like them.

On the other hand, the Velociraptor is as bad as I've ever seen.  It's not even a passable JP stand in, though it repeats all the usual errors and adds a few of its own.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

They have detail and such..but they still feel like Chap Mei figures more than they should considering the price point they will be sold at.

[sauroid]

yes, that "Velociraptor" looks like a "high-end" chinasaur.

[Hellraptor]

I saw these figure and boy, they are bad. I like oldschool dinosaurs but come on, if you are gonna do a scaly velociraptor, DO IT LIKE LOOK LIKE IN REAL LIFE, NOT A JP VERSION AGAIN, slender build, long snout and raise the killer claws,

dont get me wrong i love Jps raptors but since they belong to the Jp universe and Schelich are supposed to make dinosaurs from the real World, this is as bad as it gets. And those stumpy feathers: i say put feathers on the whole body or almost or keep it scaly.

Then the t.rex, seemt to suffer ftom both big feet and short tail, ughhh.

The penta look actually ok aslong with Therizino, the broken hand dosent bother me so much but they could have given it a more distinct feathery coat.

Did you see them in person actually?

If you're going to do a scaly velociraptor, why bother with scientific accuracy at all?

Although I agree about the wing feathers.  It seems like a pointless concession to science on a figure that is almost entirely fantasy.

Scaly raptors didn't exist in real life.

At least not for species like Velociraptor.. lol

[/quote] Time tosort out some things,i know raptors were featherd in real Life, what i ment was that they could base it on the skeletal refereces, Like this one, yes its a bad examplae but you get what i mean.

At this point, the Velociraptors of Jurassic Park have become their own thing, they are movie monsters now. They should be grouped together with Sharktopus, Xenomorphs, Godzilla, not any real dinosaurs. If a company wants to create an unlicensed Jurassic Park knockoff, fine.

But I think making a "realistic" scaly Velociraptor is worse. Doing that is kind of like making a replica of a featherless chicken and trying to pass it off as a common Gallus gallus specimen.
It's a complete waste of effort, paying attention to the actual anatomy and then snubbing any feathers at all.

Hellraptor, you should look at the Wild Safari Velociraptor.

I really hope full feathering (no tiny wings or quills on the neck) catches on in the public perception some time soon.

[Hellraptor]

[/quote] well what i ment was that if you are goin to do a scaly raptor, i thought of the one made by safari but since there are no good, featherd velociraptor out there we can only hope someone make one.

Jp dinosaurs are mutants,, that i know. I like sacly raptors but then they should brand them like oldschool or something. I want feathery raptors, how hard can it be to make them ?
