Schleich - new for 2015

[Lusotitan]

I honestly quite like the Carnotaurus. if i can get a hold of it I'd like it. Part of me wishes it was armless actually. At least would've made it quite unique. Other then that, the Microraptor and Archaeopteryx look good, but being in a set they're passable. Other then that, nothing that good.

I really like it!

It looks a lot better in person than in the stock pic. Pterosaur jaw articulation is a huge PLUS. My only issue...the eyes seem to be pushed too far back ...actually, even the Papo/Sideshow Tupax has eyes set all the way back...is this anatomically accurate for Pterosaurs? Does anyone know?

Why would you wish it to be inaccurate? Carnotaurus had arms, as stubby as they may be. Also, talking about the Anhanguera, I'll have to see it in person to make a decision, but it doesn't look all that bad.

Making it armless is (very!) speculative, the arms are small enough that theoretically they could have been inside the body, albeit highly unlikely given the presence of digits. It would however make for a very interesting and novel speculative figure.

Not impossible, given their size. Albeit unlikely. And again, it would have made a unique and somewhat funny figure of what is otherwise something that's not going to be very notable or good by comparison to others.

Kentrosaurus video review by Jurassic Collectables. I really like this guy, especially his pose. The details are also quite nice. How is the overall accuracy? Feet??

I believe the (front) feet are incorrect. They should look like this



But I didn't really expect that much of them in the first place tbh.

[Patrx]

Thanks for that, TQ! I've been looking for an up-to-date visual guide to stegosaur feet for ages. Where did you find that? Do they site their sources?

The artist is Andorou-Khan. The link is here: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Stegosaurian-Feet-391845603 A link to the paper is provided in the description. The artist has also done one for ceratopsian feet.

It looks something like the diagram. The main problem with this model is that the 5th digit on the front feet is clearly visible when it shouldn't be. I'm surprised that Schleich went through all the trouble of making the plates appear bone-like with layered texture. The head sculpt is very similar to the WS Stegosaurus.

Cool ceratopsian reference! Though, as the artist mentions in the comments there, the hands should be rotated outward a bit more.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Thanks for these graphs, TQ! If still not completely perfect, they are some of the best references I've seen.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting the feet to be perfect either. So many toy companies still get the feet of Stegosaurids and Ceratopsians wrong. Although, I think this Kentro's overall look is pretty good. Definitely a step up in the right direction for Schleich!

i hope the Kentrosaurus wont cost as much as the Pentaceratops which i got for US$20

[Daspletodave]

This Kentrosaurus is a definite improvement for Schleich. I just hope they continue this trend towards better more realistic dinosaurs.

[triceratops83]

Schleich's always done a few pretty good figures here and there, but it's peppered in with the nonsense. Look back through the years, for every Parasaurolphus, you've got at least one Ceratosaurus.

[DinoG]

Overall a good model, I am in!

[SpartanSquat]

Kentro looks awesome! I hope Schleich will make more like this. Also the official website is updated.

[Arul]

As my wish, kentro is outstanding 

[Everything_Dinosaur]

Schleich Carnotaurus (small, blue figure to replace current Dinosaurs series) does definitely have arms and four digits per hand as well.  Digits a little too well developed we think, but this model does have arms although Schleich promotional images failed to show them.

For a picture showing the arms and digits visit Everything Dinosaur's Facebook page:Our Facebook Page.

Hope this helps to clear up any confusion.
