David Silvas New Kickstarter: Articulated Dinosaur TOYS

[stargatedalek]

If I remember correctly he has done a lot of the recent NECA "Predator" sculpts, and it looks like there is a NECA "Pacific Rim" figure in that photo as well

There are several Pacific Rim there actually, and the JP3D Pachyrhinosaurus in it's beautiful pre-Hasbro-executive state.

I have that dragon figure (and the white one!)

[sauroid]

are you referring to the classic McFarlane's Dragons?

[terrorchicken]

yep, I have two of the first wave still mint in their packages.

There are several Pacific Rim there actually, and the JP3D Pachyrhinosaurus in it's beautiful pre-Hasbro-executive state.

Three Pacific Rim figures in total are featured: Knifehead(ver.2), Otachi(flying), and the upcoming Mutavore.
Godzilla 1954 is also present in the photo.

Uppity-dates!

Here's a photo of the recently sculpted Atrociraptor parts before handing them off to be molded. These will be ready for the prototype next week. In the meantime, look for news on the Tsaagan parts soon.

Full parts layout of the Atrociraptor (raptor #2) action figure. Shares plenty of parts with the Velociraptor, but has plenty that are new as well.

Early look at the in-progress Tsaagan head and neck sculpt. Going for a vulture-like look on this one.

Work in progress look at raptor #3, Tsaagan. Thoughts so far?

Package art is done for the #4 raptor- Saurornitholestes! This will be stretch goal #1 for the Kickstarter campaign. Only a teaser for now of Jonathan Kuo's brilliant rendition. Full reveal during the campaign!

Looks fantastic! I'm glad Mr. Silva goes for striking diversity in his first (and hopefully not the last) line-up.

[Dobber]

So looking forward to this campaign. I hope it's successful and I can get some of these.

You might want to hold off on Saurornitholestes for a bit... somebody posted a picture of a new fossil being studied that looks basically to be a Saurornitholestes mummy... not sure if there's any soft tissue but people are saying it's the most incredible dinosaur fossil they've ever seen and the small photo posted so far looks it! Might be great information on the overall shape and posture of the body. Previous specimens were pretty incomplete, this one is complete aside from the tail, articulated, and uncrushed 3D preservation.

Edit: Here's the pic: https://uofa.ualberta.ca/news-and-events/multimedia/in-photos-little-things-that-mean-a-lot

Check out the keratin extensions on those hand claws, they more than double the size of the boney core and make it way more hooked... The sickle claws have a very wicked looking long, thin extension too.

I notified David about your discovery there on facebook and directed him back here, hopefully it helps out!

A closer look at the near finished Tsaagan head and collar sculpt. Will be completing this one shortly.
Building the Atrociraptor prototype this weekend.

Tsaagan parts are finished now, and here's a look at the new tail sculpt (left). Longer and wider than the Velociraptor tail (right).

A closer look at the new primary wings for Tsaagan.

First look at the complete, built Atrociraptor prototype. Basecoat has been applied and painting is now in progress.

The painted Atrociraptor prototype is now completed! Can't wait to take some more photos of this beast.

Introducing the completed Raptor #2 for the upcoming Beasts of the Mesozoic Kickstarter (only one week away!) Here's Atrociraptor, and he will come with all you see here.

[Flaffy]

SO FABULOUS. SO FLUFFY. 
I can't wait to get my hands on Atrociraptor! 

[Tumtist]

My wallet is shaking!!

[Roselaar]

Oh wow, that is formidable!

[Dobber]

Very much looking forward to this Kickstarter! Though, I think the Atrociraptor's head looks a bit large for the rest of the body, or maybe it's the torso looks off. I can't tell what it is but this one seems odd looking to me  no disrespect intended to David's hard work and talent.

I wonder how the Kickstarter will work, if we will have to buy all previous sculpts to get the ones you really want.
