The Queen and the Princess! ( or King and Prince, if you prefer that )
They are looking good together.

No, its a princess, with that face. :D
It looks good. Do you have the other one yet so we could see a photo? The stock photos kinda suck.

the Papo baby T. rex looks good but too cute/disney-ish for my taste. maybe it's the big round eyes.

I said the same thing, as did my girlfriend, but you have to realize that actual baby animals look rather cartoonish. Big round heads with big marble eyes and tiny little bodies. It's just hard to realize that because none of us have seen a baby Tyrannosaur before.

Exactly, Baby Animals look like that:

Aside from that, it looks a lot like the one in The Lost World. Well, the Movie, not the Novel, that one would look more fluffy...
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

if the eye pupils were slits, that would look more awesome.

Run, it's Horner's Chickenosaurus! ( That is one badass chicken! And pretty much the only pic of it which is not bad photoshop..)

Haha I saw that pic on facebook.  It would be so cool if they actually managed to breed one like that (long shot I know).

Photo of the revived 2012 Bullyland Deinotherium, as requested. Anyone with the old model who can spot differences in paint?

Sorry if the pics are blurry, will try new ones in the sunlight later on. 

I really do like the sculpt on the new Brachio but  I maintain it should have been larger...the chest and stomach even look as though they are too much tightened up...it actually feels a little odd to me. I'm not sure if it's accurate or not really..most reconstructions I've seen were a little deeper chested with slightly larger bellies.  If it was this thin I could have saved some work on my 1/1 juvenile..lol


I actually took this one I got from DanDinosaurs.com and was showing it to the owner of my local Safari supplier.  She asked why it was  more expensive than the Wild Safari one.   I really couldn't defend it much though..I did suggest she not display the WS Brachio alongside the new Carnegie one which she thought made a lot of sense.

Wow, nice pics, Chris! Thanks!! I also love the pic of the T. cock rooster you posted. LOL! I had to save that one!

Yeah, I'm with you. Even though I'll also be getting this new Brachio, I wish it were at least 1/40 too. And yes, it does look a bit too 'light' on his feet to me too.

Cool Deinotherium! I'm (also) looking forward to the Gomph...

...all this talk about Brachiosaurus made me go out and pick up Schleich's 2012 Brachiosaurus---I'm very pleased with the model.  It's a great companion piece (e.g. baby) for their previous Brachiosaurus. It's a bit more dynamic, and the colors are more enriched, although a bit more subdued than the stock photo.

Also, for those wondering...the Schleich 2012 Quetz is exactly the same as the stock photo---It's quite beautiful.

Thanks..made me laugh when I saw it..lol

I wish I knew which skeletal it was based on...but the belly and chest look just as big as the WS Brachi..on a slightly larger piece it's odd. Looks like it needed a half an inch or so more in girth and chest.

I need to get the past Schleich Brachi still..anyone wanna trade for one ? ;D

Apparently, the Gomph is not being re-released. I stand corrected.
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

Oh no! I thought, perhaps, Bullyland is re-releasing in waves (kind of like CollectA), since I did not notice the "Prehistoric Horse", Megatherium,  and Gomphotherium listed on Dan's Dinosaur.  But, I was surprised to see the Mastodonsaurus!
