CollectA-New for 2015

[Dinomike]

I have to admit I love these Spinos! And so many to choose from!  Poor wallet...!

[Meso-Cenozoic]

I'll probably get all three versions so I'll have a family unit spending the day at the beach together.

Couple palm tree umbrellas, some fresh fish..it's a great way to spend the day!

Hehe! I also wanted to say I found the bit-longer bipedal legs version to look a bit awkward too. He looks like a teeter-totter that would only teeter.   LOL!

They'll lend themselves well to dioramas. That alone is a reason to get them!

That swimming gesture is so much better

It looks graceful. I think it might go well with one of those transparent pole stands, suspended in the air.

the CollectA swimming Spino (from Everything Dinosaur fb page)



just wondering why the feet and hands arent webbed

Are they supposed to be webbed?

[alexeratops]

Ummm... is there a base for him? Has this question been answered?

[stargatedalek]

The toes were very wide and flat, thus heavily implying they were webbed, as for the hands I've never heard that before.

[SBell]

Ummm... is there a base for him? Has this question been answered?

I mentioned it in the other thread, about just the CollectA Spinosaurs. Anthony Beeson mentioned possibly coming up with a base inspired by the Invicta ones. Nothing is certain though. But it would be awesome.

That swimming Spino looks great. Putting the Spino in water circumvents the posture controversy. I really hope a model kit maker sculpts something similar in a large scale.

[Dobber]

I agree with Tyrantqueen and others...swimming Spino looks wonderful. A clear acrylic rod to support it above a base will be fantastic. Please refresh my memory, what is the scale of this one? It is smaller than the originally shown walking Spinosaurus correct?

The swimming one would look great next to the Carnegie's Spino!

I just hope the spino's head isn't small like their Icthyovenator; more detail could be given to the spinosaur's teeth!

[suspsy]

Even if an army of paleontologists was deployed to Africa and combed every fossil bed from the west coast to the east, there's still the sad possibility that a complete Spinosaurus skeleton won't be found. Perhaps this is just one of those mysteries that never, ever be solved. Or perhaps it will.

In the mean time, there's no reason not to enjoy these new Spinosaurus models.

[Daspletodave]

The swimming Spino looks better than the walking one. However, I don't believe for a second that Spinosaurus had hideously shrunken hind legs. Makes it look like a Daschund-Dimetrodon.

As for the scale on the swimming CollectA Spinosaurus, it is not really to scale, the Deluxe version from CollectA coming out this year is much larger at 36cm long approx.  The two models that will accompany the CollectA Deluxe are around 26cm long, more details on the Everything Dinosaur blog site, in articles such as this: Swimming Spinosaurs.

Hope this helps.

Those are pretty good sizes...hope CollectA continues to dish out the larger pieces.

You're still missing the picture of the smaller walking Spinosaurus figure:
