How these figures look together? [Comparison Thread]

[suspsy]

Not a fan of this new Safari trike, looks very cheapo. The older version was better, although not a great model per se.

It's one thing to personally not like the new Tric, but to claim that the old one was better is just plain ridiculous.

[Faelrin]

I think the paint job might have something to do with it (not the colors). It seems to lack a wash, more importantly aside from the head, it's just one color pretty much applied over the beige colored plastic. When I compare the Regaliceratops with this new Triceratops and the old one, the Regaliceratops and old Triceratops do seem a tad more realistic in that area. The older Triceratops also seems to have some various shades on it. Though of course this is subjective anyways on which is better.

The sculpt on the new one is far more accurate, and bigger too. Though the old one also had a nicely detailed sculpt, it's just showing its age with where the current science is (lacking the reduced digits on the front limbs, and the integument, though also the proportions are slightly off too, such as the long tail).

Edit: I think it really is the lack of wash on the belly the most. It just seems similar to the chinasaur dragon I have because of that, meaning it is just a little plain there paint wise. There is some airbrushing there, but I think a wash would have helped bring out the details more. The Regaliceratops does in fact have a wash there. Again this is just my opinion, since this is all subjective anyways.

Here's some pics comparing their bellies (alongside said chinasaur dragon) to show what I am getting at. Please excuse my tiny hand:

I must rephrase, cause the way I wrote it clearly sounded like an objective truth, my bad:

Curious to see the colors being a problem, It's one of my favorite features of the model, and it has kind of a blending in colors, mine has a piant scuff that shows the color of the plastic and it's like tan (excuse me if I say a totally incorrect color, there are so many names for shades of color now and I'm no english speaker  ). As I see it it's the darker color and then a shade of some kind of dark gold color over (again sorry for not knowing the color's specific names). But anyways the coloration is an aspect that unless is something completely jarring and horrible, is subjective to each other tastes like you said.

are the Safari feathered T. rex and the new Triceratops in 1:40 scale? sorry havent been paying attention to posts about scales...

They are in 1:35 scale, the new Ankylosaurus is in that scale too.

thank you.

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

I just wish that Deinocheirus was bigger, the sculpt is perfect but why is it so tiny?

Yeah, imagine it in 1:40-1:35, the same sculpt but in that scale, that would be great!, maybe they were not sure if such an unknown species (for the more general public at least) would be a big enough seller to warrant a big figure. But still as tiny as it is, it's my favorite Deinocheirus on the mass market.

Well, the CollectA Deluxe is in 1:40 scale and it's very nice sculpt in my opinion (I just own the smaller version tho), but given the measurements provided by CollectA (H 15cm, L 28.5 cm) is is on par with the tyrant, so may also look out of proporation, at least for two "equally" outgrown adults. But yes, i feel the pain, would have loved the Safari Deinocheirus to be considerable bigger aswell.

That's why I'm gonna treat myself to the best of both worlds, and have the Safari version play the "chick" of the Collecta version. I'm just gonna pretend the colors change with maturity.

As I noted before, the boss of the Safari ceratopsians has finally arrived!

The triceratops Safari is immense as I mentioned in other publications I think it is better than other figures from other companies such as the PNSO or the legendary triceratops Battat. 

I think the best figure of that ceraptoside made to date. Without being great the vast majority of the triceratops of other companies such as Schleich. 

On the other hand the ankylosaurus looks smaller than I would have liked, it is as big as Carnegie's although it is a very well finished figure capable of competing with companies like Favorite or Papo for giving two examples. He is a great figure, very detailed and paleoartistically he is a very well-made figure. 

The ankylosaurus of Collecta what is good is its immense size, although it belongs to the early days of Collecta and needs a reissue by that company.

[SidB]

Agreed -  the Battat Triceratops is a real classic and still a great sculpt, although somewhat outdated, but the new Safari one is a stunning value for the money and the best on the market. The Ankylosaurus has real "presence" in the 1/35 scale, though I wonder if the repetition of the layout for the neck armor (similar to the Carnegie model), will be controversial, given the latest study.

[Bokisaurus]

New Safari landed
First up is the small Malawisaurus. I wish that they made this one the larger figure instead of the Amarga.

And with the rest of the Safari herd


Next Up: The Lovely Macrauchenia and the much larger Schliech figure, also with the extant Saiga antelope just for fun.

And as a bonus, with some of it's potential South American predators


Last is the Hyaenodon. I don't know why, but I'm not that impressed with this figure. To be honest, I like the Mojo version better.
Shown are the other figures from Geoworl, Mojo, and the AA ripoff



Bonus: All of the 2018 prehistoric mammals together. Make me really wish they were all to scale to one another

[Lanthanotus]

Nice pictures, but ugh, that Safari Hyaenodon has quite an ugly production seam across its head :/

[PhilSauria]

Agreed. That seam really makes it look quite unfinished next to the seamless Mojo version. I've had the Mojo for a couple of years and it is one my faves among prehistoric mammal figures, though having said that I'll probably end up with the new Safari one eventually.

[Shonisaurus]

I sincerely like the Safari hyaenodon as I said because it seems more dynamic than Mojo and because it is much bigger and for me it is more detailed about all the hair and claws, it is almost as big as the magnificent andrewsarchus of Collecta. That does not mean that Mojo's is very good and according to the experts will know first hand which of the two is closer to the real figure both scientifically and paleoartistically (not my case unfortunately) I just received the last 28 of December with ten other Safari figures and I can say that I am very happy with him.

On the other hand Schleich's macrauchenia seems to me sincerely superior to Safari (another appreciation of me) at first sight.

Honestly the malawisaurus is a great figure and I would have liked it to have been made with the same size as the Amargasaurus Safari, which together with Carnegie, Battat and to a lesser extent Collecta are the best on the market (although I have high hopes in the event that PNSO reveal that figure of amargasaurus in the case that said company continues.

On the other hand the dimetrodon of Safari seems to me the best figure of dimetrodon that I have ever had and I do not say it because it belongs to the Safari company or because it is made by Doug Watson I say it because I like it more than the rest of the figures of that hoary pelicosaurus of the Paleozoic era that I have in my collection, I especially like the details of the head I think the head of pelicosaurus more scientifically accurate apart from the colors I find very attractive and that I am in favor of more conservative colors for prehistoric animals in general terms without being dull or poorly painted. That does not mean that the dimetrodon of Collecta (when it is marketed makes me change my mind) or simply stays on par with this magnificent specimen.

What I tell you are personal opinions that in no way try to provoke or offend any member of the forum are simple subjective opinions of mine.

Some comparison shots with the Vitae Giganotosaurus and Wilson.




Not something you want to see in real life...


More shots of the Giga can be found in my collection thread.

Makes me want to buy both of them now...

[Shonisaurus]

The two dinosaurs are as I say figures "greedy" one hundred percent. Magisterial photos of Keu.

Some comparison shots with the Vitae Giganotosaurus and Wilson.

[Snip]

Funny that, I was just about to post here saying "I know it's a bit of a long shot, but could anyone compare Wilson and the Vitae Giga?".

These two look amazing. Thank you for sharing

[Faelrin]

Can someone do a comparison between the Schleich Dinogorgon with the Schleich Dimetrodon, Schleich Dunkleosteus, and/or Papo Dimetrodon? Or really just the Dinogorgon with any of those would be helpful.

[suspsy]

Just came across this photo gallery comparing the blue and red Schleich T. rexes with the standard one:

[spinosaurus1]

does anyone mind comparing the pnso tyrannosaurus and the rebor tyrannosaurus?
