Thanks, guys! Photo added to first post.

I wonder if you could clip on some Dino Rider gear on that Pteranodon...

Information and pictures added to the first page for the forthcoming Fukui Prefectural Museum exclusive sets! Thanks to RobinGoodFellows for alerting us to their existence.

Nice.
I'm interested in the Pentaceratops vs. Bistahieversor & Coelophysis vs. Redondasaurus.

Very promising! Redondasaurus is a new species for a toy, right?

[terrorchicken]

oh nice. I like the focus on lesser known species.

Does anyone know for sure if these sets are plastic or resin?

So far as I know! I think this would also knock several off the unique species list, like Bistahieversor, Zhuchengtyrannus, and Sinoceratops.

Not completely sure, but the packaging looks very similar to that of the Concavenator/Pelecanimimus set and the Fukuisaurus and Fukuiraptor figures. The bases also look very simple, like the ones included with Soft Models, rather than the ones included with the desktop models. So I'd bet money these are PVC figures.

absolutely awesome as expected from Favorite Co.

Sounds like there is work for me in store then. Bistahieversor has been off the list for a while though, thanks to Collecta.

Ah, my mistake. I had the impression that CollectA's was the only one.

Here are the other 2:

Thank you! I'll add them to the first post. I'm still not sure about the identity of the ceratopsian, as the Chrome translator renders it "Inron." Maybe Psittacosaurus or Liaoceratops?

Edit Evidently it's Yinlong! I guess Chrome went with the transliteration "Inron" since Japanese doesn't have a phoneme to match the English Y or L.

Once again Favorite Co. comes to the rescue! These figure sets are awesome. Favorite is the BEST dinosaur maker period.

[Flaffy]

Any information of the release dates?

[ItsTwentyBelow]

This is what I've been waiting for! These are awesome, and I want all of them.

I hope these are easy to find and ship out from Japan at the very least, for not too high a price. Wish they would distribute them outside of Japan.

[Flaffy]

Highly unlikely if these are only available to the special exhibit as museums tend to keep them very exclusive so that you have to visit the museum to acquire the figures.

[Halichoeres]

Any information of the release dates?

The release dates are all this month and next (maybe they're trying to encourage repeat visits to the Expo). They should all be available by the end of August.


On another note, even though Kazunari Araki's blog gives the name as Dilong, I believe the one in the set with Yinlong is actually Guanlong. Both Dilong and Guanlong have known skulls, and Guanlong is the only one with a crest. Guanlong is from the same Jurassic formation as Yinlong, whereas Dilong is from the Cretaceous Yixian formation. Finally, Dilong is known to have feathers, and although I think Favorite is a little conservative with feathers, they do usually include them when there's direct physical evidence of them.

The lack of feathers on the tyrannosaurs ruin them for me.
