Awesome to see the first few figures for 2016, and they are fabulous !
That dead T-Rex is just amazing, total out of the ordinary and very original , not to mention brave to choose the king himself as the victim .
Very exciting first glimpses .
Really love the new ceratopsian . I'm glad they are releasing one.
I'm hope there would be a cool sauropods for next year.
Can't wait to the second wave!
Collecta have definitely matured and it's been a great pleasure watching them grow up.

Very impressed with CollectA 2016 offerings.
Dead T-rex is pretty unique. I like the way it looks all twisted and stuff.
Great to see a wholly distinct sculpt for the Ceratopsian.
Nice, naturalistic colors, overall (CollectA, is this really you?)

Dead feathered trex got a lot of attention here, not only feathered trex but a dead feathered trex, nice innovation collecta ! We can expect dead new version spinosaurus in future

The Metriacanthosaurus looks excellent, the only thing I don´t like about it are the random dark dots, they look like cheap airbrushing.

The dead Tyrannosaurus certainly is a surprise, and it looks awesome. Given the size of the wounds, I would expect more blood on its fur though, and blood coming from the mouth would have been a nice touch as well.

I hope one of the next waves will reveal a deluxe (alive) sauropod...

I agree, but for CollectA's paintjob standards this is a really good one.
I like the new Metriacanthosaurus and the (living) Tyrannosaurus, which needs a re-paint again.

Freshly dead is cool.but I wouldn't mind some older desiccated corpses/mummy-like.  Of course I suppose I could just make my own..lol

I'm actually more excited about the prehistoric mammals and the sea monsters than the rest of the dinosaurs. Fingers crossed for Megatherium and Basilosaurus!

I certainly crossed fingers for Uintatherium or elasmotherium. They are very dark prehistoric mammals.

Those two would also be most welcome. :)

Silvanusaurus

I like their interesting choices, and i'm happy to be getting a new British theropod, but these like most CollectA figures just don't capture my imagination... there's something I find very bland about the look of their dinosaurs, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. Maybe just a combination of flat paint work, dead eyes, and a sort of 'clean' sterility... maybe it's just me.

yes, their paint job and the eyes are the very things that ruin their otherwise very good figures.

They now have a family of feathered trex, plus a dead one.It gets more and more interesting.
Run!

Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)

So Collecta is announcing their new stuff in waves, right? The selection seems a little sparse; these aren't the only prehistoric creatures they're releasing, right?


Balaur

Oh wow! The dead Tyrannosaurus is really cool! All of these look great! I can't wait to see the rest!

Correct. They were revealed in small batches like this last year. We have yet to see the new prehistoric mammals and sea creatures.

Also, the SUPREME. Can't wait to see what it is!

If there will be  ;) We don't know that.

I can't see why there wouldn't be one, unless the Guidraco sold really, really badly.

Let's be honest,it hsn't been really popular,at least not as much as I think CollectA had in mind.We'll wait and see.

Shonisaurus

I guess that will come prehistoric marine animals and mammals. While animals also need Collecta Paleozoic era.

stargatedalek

Pterosaurs are never huge sellers, I'm sure CollectA kept that in mind, as well as larger figures selling less. The Guidraco (and to an extent the Supreme range in general) is one of CollectA's more niche market pieces, it has huge appeal among people who collect CollectA, but less appeal to parents because it's a less recognizable species, more expensive, and larger.
