CollectA-New for 2015

[Meso-Cenozoic]

I think I'll be getting the two new theropods, although the Acro's head looks a bit generic. And I'll probably be getting the first group of dinos too, plus I think the two mammals. The only one I'm really torn about getting is the Guidraco. At 1/4 scale, it's nearly 10"x10"! He'll look so out of proportion with my collection of mostly 1/35-1/40's. I wonder why they're making it so BIG? Also, is that darker line on its lower jaw where the hinge to open it is? If so, it would be opening up in front of the jaw's actual hinge. Hmm. Maybe it's just a paint detail.

For those of you who missed this page Everything Dinosaurs posted earlier, here are the scale sizes of these new additions...

I like all the larger pieces really. The bigger the better. lol

The Guidraco, I can actually buy two and make a nest for them and have them 1:1. Then I can add an adult..lol

Now that would be very cool, Chris! Hehe! And yeah, I can see how the biggest of figures would possibly work better with your life-size sculpts. BTW, did I ever tell you that I saw a street view on google maps of the front of your property and some of your dino sculpts! I think I remember googling your address you had listed for your Halloween event you do, and then all these dinos started appearing around every bush and tree. LOL! What a great area for displaying them.

Still no Moropus and Temnodontosaurus pics.

Definitely considering doing it now.  Nah..that's cool! I'm glad they finally updated it..lol Thanks!

So will the Guidraco have the cost of the deluxe or 1:40 line? Or will it be standard line, does anyone know?

[Everything_Dinosaur]

The Guidraco 1:4 scale (25cm long x 25cm high) Pterosaur model is part of a new range from Collecta called Supreme.  We don't have pricing information yet, but at Everything Dinosaur it is our intention to stock this item in the spring and to make it competitively priced so genuine collectors and dinosaur model fans can afford it.  Look out for announcements on the Everything Dinosaur blog and on our Facebook page.

Hope this helps.

That sounds really exciting!I'd love to hear more information regarding that range!

[Roselaar]

That sounds pretty big! Makes me even more excited for it. My shelf space would disagree though.

[Pinkamena]

Yays the rex doesn't look like a demented chicken *does happy dance* Roll on next year!

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Does the tail of a T. rex actually have that kind of flexibility to swoosh back-n-forth like a cat's tail? I know sometime back there was some discussion about the tails not possibly being as rigid as first thought, but this looks a little exaggerated. Hmm. Thoughts?

Excellent.

[Brontozaurus]

I love them all but oh my, that feathered Tyrannosaurus is definitely going in the collection. The only fluffy tyrannosaurs I have are both of Safari's Dilongs. This will be a welcome addition.

[Neon-Allo]

Gaah, I can't wait for the Moropus pictures to be released!

I think it's just the angle that the photo was taken at. It's nowhere near as big an offender as the tail on the Papo Dilophosaurus.

The last two of the scheduled 2015 Collecta releases the Moropus (Chalicothere in 1:12 scale) and the Ichthyosaur (T. platyodon) images can be found on Everything Dinosaur's Facebook page.  These models will be available late May/June from Everything Dinosaur.  These are the last of the prehistoric lines to go into production.

We would welcome your comments, particularly on T. platyodon, as we think this is a "world first".

I do believe it is...that is an interesting choice for a toy. I have to ask..is the offspring removable?

[CityRaptor]

Oh, that is another first for a western company, although it could count as a general first, since the one made by Kaiyodo is Ichthyosaurus communis.

I also wonder if the offsping is removable.

[Gwangi]

Those are both very nice models, I love them both! Looks like I'll be putting a lot of CollectA models on my wish list. At least 8 of them.

[Takama]

They look good

[suspsy]

I'm going with the assumption that the infant is non-removable. Nevertheless, what an awesome concept! As far as I'm concerned, CollectA is the best company for prehistoric figures, hands down. I need to start saving money!

[sauroid]

they both look awesome. i wonder if the Moropus is as big as Bullyland's Chalicotherium.
