Australian Age of Dinosaurs from Minizoo

I'm glad they stuck with this colour scheme.

Hopefully if these sell well, the line will continue to expand.

[Concavenator]

It looks really good,but,honestly,it isn't as good as the prototype photos depicted it to be.Still it's awesome.
I think I would like to get one at some point,but it depends on the price for me.I hope it's affordable.Also,being in Spain,the shipping costs would be big,sadly. 

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

I can't believe I missed this thread. Is there any word on when these will be available?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Sweet! Lots of nice detail there, can't wait to order one!

[terrorchicken]

very nice, love that head...

[joossa]

If that's how the mass produced figure will look like more or less, then it's pretty solid as a final product, I'd say. I wonder how much it will retail for?

[darylj]

I will order one... At least.

[Gwangi]

Oh wow, I'm very excited. Can't wait till this guy gets released!

[Roselaar]

Oh wow, that is one gorgeous dinosaur! I so hope I can get my hands on at least one of these, it's beautiful.

[ItsTwentyBelow]

That is terrific, exactly the kind of result I was expecting for the mass-produced figure. I will be so happy to add this to my collection! Now, when's the release, and what's the price??

And importantly, how stable is this on two feet? Don't really like how it is not shown standing up in these new pictures...

[DinoLord]

This looks really nice! Hopefully it stands well. The feet look reasonably sized (a bit smaller than is usual for bipedal theropod figures) but I imagine the degree of toe splay will help compensate for that.

Hi everyone

Thanks for your patience. Please see attached colour images of Banjo. Some final colour corrections may still be made but you can get a pretty good idea of how Banjo will look. Official photos are still to come. No other new info is available right at this moment but we expect that will flow through pretty soon.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Wow, Banjo looks great so far! Maybe they still need to put more detail in the eyes? And I'm not sure I like that black and white graphic design the way it's done on its sides. It looked a bit more natural in the proto. But these are very minor issues with me. Paint can always be adjusted to each collectors' liking.

Ok.. at last another update. It is a long process but as it's the first model in the series I think it's best that no shortcuts are taken. Direct from AAoD....

"The model is completed and will be
released in a custom-designed box with certificate. It will be Issue 1, of
Series 1. The box will also have its own GS1 barcode and is now in the final
stages of being printed."

Interesting development is that it will be a boxed model ... clearly they are aiming to enhance the collectability of the brand.

[joossa]

Great to hear about the forward progress on this. From what I have seen, I will very likely be getting Banjo. 

[Halichoeres]

Thanks for the update, MiniZoo!

[Roselaar]

Sounds good! The boxed package reminds me of Rebor. Not a bad thing, I can imagine a figure like this is easy to break during transport if not protected properly.

[Uroplatus]

Wonderfull news, i'm looking forward to this one.

Thanks for keeping us informed, MiniZoo.

[Daspletodave]

I noticed that the sharp claws and teeth of the original prototype have been rounded off - but that is to be expected of a toy. Still a great looking model though!

[Zhuchengotyrant]

When will it be released?
