Itoy - New for 2016

[sauroid]

Itoy from China will release this Ceratosaurus with articulated jaw. (they also released the JP style Raptor a year or so ago)

[Viking Spawn]

Interesting.  Looks vaguely familiar to another company.

I like it!  Any word on the pricing?

[sauroid]

yes, would be a great partner for the REBOR. no info re: price yet

Okay, just keep us posted.  Thanks.   

[tyrantqueen]

I might be interested if this is 1/40 ish scale. Any ideas?

[sauroid]

no info about the scale yet either...

[Takama]

WOW i now wan to get there Raptor


Any idea on what other products they have down the pipeline?

[Roselaar]

Looks good, but more than a little similar to Rebor's Ceratosaurus, base and all. Is there a reason for that? Copycat or coincidence?

[postsaurischian]

No coincidence. They stole REBOR's concept.
But at least they're making their own sculpts, which is not to be taken for granted, looking at the Chinese eBay bootleg invasion throughout the last months.

[Takama]

Well i like it.

There first model was not a ripp off of anything from Rebor as much as another JP Raptor


I hope they can make there wares more widely avalible.

It looks very nice, but I wouldn't be interested unless it was 1:35-1:40, and they released more models. I generally like collecting lines as opposed to individual figures (with the exception of those truly stellar models from certain companies, like the schleich kentrosaurus). But does the tail look a little too short to anyone? And the wrists appear to be pronated as well

[postsaurischian]

I wasn't saying rip off. It definitely isn't. I was talking about the concept.

[tyrantqueen]

What concept?

[postsaurischian]

The overall design, the resin base with the rubber figure, the species, the presentation, the movable jaw thing - o.k., not originally REBOR's idea, but in addition it all looks to me as if someone from this manufacturer has seen REBOR's figure, took the idea and altered it.
It does not look as if it was a coincidence, as Roselaar was asking himself. Just my opinion, of course I do not really know.

[Dobber]

This ones osteoderms look much better than the REBOR version. Bases do look "similar" but I think REBORs overall figure looks better. Still interested though.

[stargatedalek]

While a pretty bad Ceratosaurus, it does ironically get the main thing REBOR got wrong wright

I think REBOR's is definitely better overall, but both are distinctly flawed in different ways.

[AcroSauroTaurus]

Ooh, I like it! Ceratosaurus has gained a few figures lately hasn't it?

[Silvanusaurus]

Did anybody ever actually get their raptor figure from last year? I don't think I've seen in any photos of it 'in hand'.

[Lanthanotus]

I really like this figure. What bothered me most about Rebor's Ceratosaurus were its feet which were sculpted in a very awkward and unnatural stance, especially when considering the overall well done design in form and color.

Is there a link to where the photos originate from or where one could view/buy their models? Google doesn't seem to deliver any usefull links under "itoys china", "itoys PRC" or "itoys ceratosaurus".

[tyrantqueen]

I hope we see more companies offering high end (and hopefully accurate) dinosaur collectibles. I had hopes for Rebor with their Acrocanthosaurus but now they're going full JP so I'm looking elsewhere.
