The dead Tyrannosaurus is a cool idea. Not really interested in the others, but I like the new feathered Tyrannosaurus and I think it will make a good mate for the deluxe feathered T. rex.

CollectA is once again leading the pack in terms of innovation.

Collecta continues to lap the field .... as I prophesied on these boards in 2009, that Collecta would established itself as the gold standard in dino models in the near future ... its good to be right .... 

[CityRaptor]

Oh, dead Tyrannosaurus! About time we get a dead Theropod and then it is the King itself!

Although it should be noted that they have 4 featheres Tyrannosaurus: Baby, the one from this year and now those two upcoming.

[Everything_Dinosaur]

True, four feathered T. rex, we will amend the article accordingly.  We forgot, having to write at 6am had something to do with it.

They;re pretty cool and I'll get em' but I hope the Deluxes are really awesome!

[sauroid]

whoah! awesome! how many figures should we expect from CollectA for 2016?

[Everything_Dinosaur]

We know, but can't reveal all just for the moment, however, we will post up more news and pics at the end of next week.  Check out Everything Dinosaur on Facebook and our blog for the information, it will get posted up soon we promise.

That hunting rex looks amazing, a lot better than the original IMO. But it looks like it'd have leaning issues after a while, unfortunately.

[Dobber]

Absolutely fabulous! Thanks for posting the pictures!

Well, well.

CollectA certainly knows how to milk a popular dinosaur. That Hunting T. rex looks superb, although 24 cm sounds like it might be too small to be a proper mate for Firestreak. 

And wowsers, a DELUXE dead dinosaur! The pathologies look fantastic, although as I've noted with the previous two corpses, I wish there was some evidence that the killer(s) took some damage as well. In this case, a  bloodstained mouth would have added more to the story. And given how large the toy is going to be, I'm not sure I'll be able to get away with buying it. My wife hates gore with a passion. At the very least, I won't be allowed to keep this T. rex anywhere she can see it!

The Metriacanthosaurus is a cool choice, looks very nice. I'm rather indifferent to the Mercuriceratops. I'll buy it, of course, but there are so many other ceratopsians I'm much more fond of. And I know a few fans will be peeved about the quills. 

Can't wait to see what else is in store!

UPDATE: I just showed the dead rex to my wife. She let out a big "EWWWW!" and told me not to get it!

Three feathered rexes by Collecta! This makes my heart sing.

[ChubbyTaco]

These are the photos from everything dinosaur blog.That is cool.

[tyrantqueen]

Gruesome theme for a diorama: having the dead Tyrannosaurus be a meal for the deluxe feathered rex and the smaller hunting (female?) feathered rex, much like how Stumpy and Tinkerbelle ate Jack Palance when he died.

[sauroid]

the Metriacanthosaurus is awesome, as well the two rexes. the Chasmosaur looks kinda off though.

[empire3569]

That hunting T rex looks awesome, I like it better than this year's sculpt. Looks very dynamic and life-like

[Sim]

Just saw this topic!  One thought I have is that I don't like completely black eyes on prehistoric animal figures, but I think they can work if they aren't overused.  CollectA has been giving their figures black eyes so often it's made these eyes so boring.  I think their figures would look better if they added some colour to the eyes.  This is one of a number of reasons why I don't think of CollectA as a "gold standard".  Other reasons include regular anatomical inaccuracies, shrink wrapping of theropod heads and alterations to theropod anatomy to try to keep them standing (like the hips).

I also find the colour schemes of these new CollectA figures really underwhelming.

[triceratops83]

At least Collecta hasn't failed to deliver a ceratopsian. I can't wait to see the rest though!

[SpartanSquat]

I dont know why but not impressed, well this t-rex looks better than the feathered one in person. I dont usually collect Collecta but some figures i previous years took my attention, but this no
I hope we will have more.

[Gwangi]

I'm excited about the hunting T. rex and Metriacanthosaurus but I don't collect the corpses (as cool as they are) and I've never been a big fan of CollectA ceratopsians. Safari and Battat make ceratopsians that blow all the ones by CollectA out of the water. It is a cool choice for a ceratopsian though.
