Yes, looks like that.

So, for the second half we got so far:
-Large Ceratosaurus skull with Raptor repaint and Compy repaint
-Kentrosaurus repaint
-Mystery Dinosaur

Sorry, but this is certainly not a repaint, but a new sculpt.







Killekor

I think you are the one who´s wrong killekor.
It has the exact same pose with the head and tail facing in the exact same direction.
It is most likely a repaint.


BlueKrono

I've refrained from commenting on the Kentro cuz I can't distinguish either way. The sculpt looks similar, but there's enough fudge factor that it could be different. The color looks similar as well, but the pattern is slightly different. So I really don't know what to make of it.

ITs a repaint.     There is a crease above the leg, and i looked at my own, and it has the same crease.

SO that leaves the qustion of rather or not this will be avalible exclusivly in a set or if it will be released on its own with a Fact sheet

Jose S.M.

To me it looked like the head is facing forwards but its probably just the angle and quality of the photo.

Silvanusaurus



I'm confused; why did whoever took this photo not angle it to include the new theropod's front portion? Or was this photo released by Schleich themselves as a tease?

Ed took that photo. And they love to keep embargoes given to them by the companys

Found some pics: New Dinosaur is indeed an Acro. And the Kentrosaurus is a
Acrocanthosaurus
Very retro, but at least the hands are not pronated...

Kentrosaurus
It's a new remold.

Large skull trap with Velociraptor
Seems like the Compy and a lizard are included, too.

Good God, that Acrocanthosaurus is HIDEOUS.

To think that it's so hard to find Safari or CollectA dinosaurs being sold in stores, but this monstrosity will be available all over. It feels like a crime against science and aesthetics.

Lol, it kinda looks like Zilla/American Godzilla

Oh! I'd said that the Kentro wasn't a repaint!!! The Acro it's...odd. About the skull and the raptor... I will probably get it, but for the skull.

Anyway, here's some pics:







Killekor
Bigger than a camarasaurus,
and with a bite more stronger that the T-Rex bite,
Ticamasaurus is certainly the king of the Jurassic period.

With Balaur feet, dromaeosaurus bite, microraptor wings, and a terrible poison, the Deinoraptor Dromaeonychus is a lethal enemy for the most ferocious hybrid too.

Silvanusaurus

I was expecting something bad, but the Acro manages to be even worse than I expected. As hard as it is to comprehend, they are getting worse and worse over time. Look at this and the new Allosaurus. It's like a bad joke, and the punchline is how much money they'll make.

Blade-of-the-Moon

Schleich must burn up molds like crazy..that's the only reason to redo the Kentrosaurus I can see?

The Acro looks like they decided to make a Gwangi figure. lol

Regarding the Kentro they probably think they can do the same as with Tyrannosaurus and the Raptor, having more than one mold of each active at the same time.

( Not mine, pic is from a review on the blog )

And yes, the fact that the hands are not pronated is probably the only postive thing about the Acro. Yet Schleich will make tons of money due to lack of rivals.

It appears the Schleich Acrocanthosaurus doesn't have dewclaws.

I wonder if Schleich will ever make a figure of Velociraptor with a head that at least bears some resemblance to that of the real animal.

Pachyrhinosaurus

#354
Wow. It looks like the offspring of the Replica-Saurus T. rex and ouranosaurus... but worse.

Turret

My eyes were not wrong on the Kentrosaurus and it looks good to me. As for the Acrocanthosaurus ... I guess it can be used as a screcrow?

AcroSauroTaurus

Acrocanthosaurus looks bad... but I'll have to get it since its an Acrocanthosaurus. (at least they put the neck spines on it, unlike CollectA)
I am the Dinosaur King!

The CollectA version still beats the tar out of this monstrosity.

I knew there was a reason that I actually kind of like this toy. Not because it's good mind ya, but because it reminds me of all those old movies I love so much that also have terrible looking dinosaurs.
