CollectA New for 2016

[suspsy]

I'm sure it's just the angle.

The Torvosaurus looks pretty nice. I may pick it up eventually. Will definitely get the Mercuriceratops when it becomes available. Already ordered the two T. rexes from Minizoo.

The "Torvo-guana" is pretty decent in some respects, but I'll never understand the logic behind picking out skull fenestrae in distinct colours.

Ask and ye shall receive. Plus another pic of the Mercuriceratops. Again, not a very good one. Can't use flash or it will annihilate the colour scheme.

The pose makes it sorta look like Papo's Allosaurus. Also I'm not too fond of how the hunting rex turned out. It's not really up to CollectA's standards IMO. I might pick up the dead rex though.

Easier to paint areas marked out for you already..

[AcroSauroTaurus]

Torvosaurus looks good in my opinion, except the fact that he can't fully close his mouth.

[Arul]

Amazing but too glossy...a doff spray will fix it

[triceratops83]

Don't know why the Mercuriceratops and Torvosaurus didn't turn up at Minizoo, so I ordered the ceratopsian from Echidnas on the Loose.

The detail of the Torvosaurus is very well defined with all of those tiny scales. Right now is my favorite figure of the 2016 Collecta´s releases.

At least this one doesn't suffer from the "extremely skin-wrap heads of Collecta theropods" syndrome.

I really like the Torvosaurus. I am thinking in the scheme ofcolor of my own figure  .

You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet.

Well, I try to verify information if it's important to do so, especially if I'm sharing it with others, like on this forum.  I also take into consideration how reliable the source of the information is, and I don't just accept something as true without using my own judgement.

It's not helpful to say, "You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet.", and not even explain what you mean.  So... do you mean something that was said is incorrect?  If so, I'd be interested in knowing about it!  As far as I know though, primary feathers are only known in pennaraptorans, and it's not known if they existed earlier in the coelurosaur family tree.

I have to say, I can think of few other places to get ample, reliable, up-to-date information about dinosaurs than right here on the forum.

Gotta say, the Torvosaur's throat didn't seem so bad but with this close-up... yikes!

Yeah, what is going on there?  Are the figures on bases permanently attached to the bases?  I'm especially curious about the Torvosaurus.

Depends on your definition of permanent...

Yes. Lets dettach it from the base...






Or if you want a more precise job, use a hot knife:


I love the Torvo-Iguana.

Yeah, you're not supposed to remove the base, Collecta strongly implies. Too bad these figures suggest the bases are now of lesser quality.

Where they say that?

What's worse than a Velociraptor?  lol  Love it!

Wow a company that has my same mindset. I feel sorry that i moved on to more creative things then CollectA(not saying that as an insult, they are still more creative then the likes of Rebor and Schelich).

As you all know i can care less if the base looks boring, just as long as it keeps the model from toppling over. and i must say that the Torvosaurus looks Great

Given that CollectA has been making figures on non-removeable bases for years, I'm kind of puzzled as to why people are wondering if that's changed with this year's assortment.

If CollectA were to introduce removeable bases, they'd surely advertise it.

Honestly I am not in favor of extractables basis for a simple reason: take up much space.

Rebor utahraptor base is pretty bad and moreover the other figures of the same brand cause headaches when putting them on a shelf, apart from this there is a risk of losing them.

Ultimately I prefer to keep doing Collecta figures without detachable bases, it is from my humble point of view the most successful.
