Does it look good enough ?

See you soon...

I´m still not sure what to think about this guy. There´s something about it I don´t really like yet. But I have to see it in person, I guess.

Well, it isn't an high-end model and has its flaws (anatomically speaking) but it's the best Baryonyx in the toy range by now.
Shapeways has better figures. You can find better figures as resin kits too.
But in the 20/30 euro range it's difficult to find a better figure now.
On my opinion this Baryonyx has a strong Luis V. Rey influence and if you don't like Rey probably you don't like that model.

What I really don't like is the glossy paint app.
( ..and the tripod pose isn't so charming too.. but it's easy to solve with a stand, as in my pictures..  ).

Have a nice day.

It is bigger than I thought  .

Yes, it's a little bigger than T. Rex... 35cm long and 18cm high.

You know, between the head and the size, Papo really should have just put a sail on the toy's back and sold it as a new Spinosaurus. It would have been WONDERFUL.

As it stands, this toy is pretty much Rudy from Ice Age 3. A wonderful monster, but a poor rendition of a real dinosaur.

[Megalosaurus]

Very nice model.

Is it possible to fully close its jaws? The last picture hits that it isn't.

You know I've been thinking the same thing. The super accurate Spinosaurus head, the shorter back legs ( at least they look shorter in the first pic, would have made a very accurate Spinosaurus.  I guess they wanted to keep the JP one in production  but also release another spinosaur. :/   Maybe I'll get two and try and sculpt a sail on it? I'm keen for about any project now..darn snow...

Yes it is.

It's Papo's style: the Running Rex is a Vastatosaurus from King Kong; the Pteranodon with teeth is a medieval daemon ; the Allosaurus is a walking crocodile...
It's Papo: take it or leave it... 

All the Best

[Shonisaurus]

Although in this case is more like a suchomimus, we must recognize that is very well developed and it is huge.

Anyway, it's much better figure than the prototype, whose colors are more subdued.

[Silvanusaurus]

The Baryonyx looks lovely to me! I hope to have it myself soon.

Maybe. But Papo keeps on releasing the original Velociraptor in spite of the new feathered version. Ah well.

We talked about before, having studied Suchomimus quite a bit, it's not really like Suchomimus at all.

[Roselaar]

Wow, it's huge! Love the detail, but I'm sitll not a fan of the pose.

[AcroSauroTaurus]

I think the Baryonyx looks great.

[RobinGoodfellow]

Thanks for sharing those pictures. The more I see the actual model the more I like it, can't wait to get one for my collection. Is it stable on its feet or do you have any trouble make it standing for display?

The original pose of the figure is the classical tripod (2 rear legs + tail) and it's absolute stable.
I don't like it very much so I used a plastic stand under the tail to shoot the pictures in a more realistic posture (on 2 legs only).
You can't see the trasparent plastic stand in the pictures because of the overexposed background.
The figure can't stand on 2 feet without a rear support.
But in the original tripod pose it's totally stable.
I decided to keep a plastic rod under the tail to display the Baryonyx in a better way on my shelf.

The Blue Whale is still missing... but I'll find it soon. 

Have a nice day.

[Halichoeres]

Fantastic. There's an elegance to monochrome figures that I really admire. I'd probably collect them myself if I had more space.

I think that too. Thank you.
