When will they commercialize the nemicolopterus? It is the most awaited figure on my part.

It was put on Amazon.com earlier today :) : https://www.amazon.com/PNSO-Prehistoric-Animal-Nemicolopterus-Tracy/dp/B07K9L98K1/?th=1

It is up today. All the minis are now listed on Amazon.com. I did not order it though.

(WARNING: THIS POST WILL BE IMAGE HEAVY)

While PNSO's Facebook has only shown the Alioramus since my last update, a lot more outdoor photos have been posted on Amazon.com:

Got mine.

I am waiting for my PNSO nemicolopterus. It's on the way, the rest I'll buy from Everythingdinosaur or another European company that embarks on marketing those figures.

No shipping to Canada, of course. Heaven forbid Amazon, the mega-corporation that it is, extend their automatic shipping pricing system that already exists to all products. The horror that would cause to their company, how ever could they sustain it. /s

These look incredible, I can hardly wait until they appear with a retailer I can actually use :'(

Opinion on Dakosaurus having osteoderms?
Most Dakosaurus restorations lack such osteoderms.

avatar_stargatedalek @stargatedalek, earlier in this thread another member expressed having the problem where there wasn't an option to ship the figures to their country.  They mentioned they wrote to PNSO about this and PNSO enabled shipping of their figures to that member's country.  So if you were to contact PNSO about this, on Facebook it appears is the recommended way, they might enable the option to ship their figures to Canada.  Check the following posts in this thread for what was said about it previously: Reply #1206, Reply #1208, Reply #1214

Seeing these magnificent photos of these PNSO dinosaur miniatures I have decided to entrust all the figures to Acro-man. I'm waiting for your answer. Honestly on Amazon I get much more expensive than buying the twenty-four new figures from PNSO to Acro-man. They are prehistoric animal figures very cool and very sweet from the point of view of a collector as is my case.

Mr. Challenger

I bought the Dakosaurus, the Atopodentatus, the Quanzhousaurus and the Tianyulong. I really like these tiny figures and I don't have any representation of any of these species in my toy collection.
I'll take pictures of them when they arrive if I can  :)

My dream is to buy Acro-man among other figures the odontochelys is one of my favorite figures for its rarity as a toy.

Of the figures acro-man posted, my personal favorite has to be Liaoceratops. Pretty much everything about the figure (from the scale texture and the frill's colour scheme, to even the eyes and mouth) adds a lot of character to this figure, while still remaining within reason for a living animal. It's a perfect figure for both collectors and children.

Mei long, Sinosauropteryx and Nemicolopterus are all just as good or better than the stock images in all regards. My only real issues with these figures are that the former two are depicted in the positions their fossils are in, and that the latter has too little fluff around the neck, and is a figure of a potential juvenile synomyn of Sinopterus.

The Odontochelys is a well painted figure, and the best taxonomic choice of the lot, but I'm not really sure what to think of the skin texture on the 'carapace'. It's well done, but I'm unsure of how accurate it is.

The Tianyulong is a fairly good figure in all regards, even if it looks a bit worse than the (unrealistically good) stock image. I agree with another user here that the 'funky skunk' look gives the figure a lot of charm. For all we know, maybe Tianyulong did spray like a skunk or at least have a strong smell  ;)

According to Young et al. 2012 (PLoS One 7: e44985), metriorhynchids lost their osteoderms; Dakosaurus would have had to re-evolve them. Seems like an oops to me. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3445579/

I was super excited to see the new minis pop up in my Amazon recommendations the other day! Definitely getting the Atopodentatus and Guidraco for my 1:40 display collection. I'm eager to buy the first available Yi qi toy too!

I love those in-the-field promo shots!

That's a shame about the Dakosaurus; I was really keen on that one until I saw the osteoderms. May still pick it up; as I've lamented before, metriorhynchid toys aren't exactly legion. :(

I have already bought the 24 beauties from PNSO to Acro-man, it's cheaper for me to buy it in their store than to buy it from Amazon. I am totally grateful.

I missed this before, but I think the texture on the carapace is plausible. The carapace was incomplete, and while it's possible that there were some scutes, I don't believe any have been found.
