I really hope the Feathered Rex makes it over here. With a bit of luck, Dinosaur Time will stock it.

Hello!

I don't know if someone realized that in this image:  http://www.f-favorite.net/contents/weblog/img/FD_softmodel_main_1.jpg there's a new Parasaurolophus figure, so maybe there are more re-sculpted dino figures than the ones they are showing to us.  ;D

Regards!

According to the text on the site, there are other figures that weren't pictured. So a new Para is possible.

Yes I think so but from my point of view allosaurus is the best  ^-^.
[Off Nick and Eddie's reactions to the dinosaurs] Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.



{about the T-Rex) When he sees us with his kid isn't he gonna be like "you"!?

Here's hoping they're making a new version of their Deinonychus, with an updated desktop model to accompany it!  :))

The Deino just felt sort of " stiff " to me..I'd rather they added a base and had it leaping or at least running.

Really, it's not the pose that keeps me from buying it, it's just not quite right in terms of feathers - plus, the paint seems a little haphazard on the ones I've seen.

From what I gather there is still a lot of speculation about feathers on the big dromeosaurs...and of course I can repaint it..so that wouldn't stop me..but it looks like it's standing there posing in profile for a picture..just a bit annoying to me..lol

Deinonychus wasn't exactly very big, but yeah. Still, it should have proper 'wings' rather than the strange arrangement with sparse feathers hanging off its forearm. I hope it gets a rejig (Desktop and Soft Model).

Precisely. A tail fan wouldn't go amiss, either. You're right, though, Blade, an active pose on a base would be marvelous. Perhaps a hunting scene using the RPR model?

New Favorite figures! Is this for real? Wow, I didn't realise there would be so many! Anyone know what genus the plesiosaur is supposed to be? I'm guessing Cryptoclidus?

I tried a few translators, and they all seem to come up with "Plesiosaurus".  Which makes sense--so far, all of those figures are (improved) retreads of ones that are already in the line.

Well, if it is supposed to be Plesiosaurus then this figure, at least, isn't an improvement over the original.

Now, if someone with the right knowhow - say, a plesiosaur researcher - would only review the original for the blog. *Prods Adam with a stick*

According to Favorite, some of these models might actually become available before the year is out. Don't count your feathered dinosaurs before they hatch, though.

any chance that you might have them for sale if they do come out  Dan?

Has anyone posted this, yet? Looks like they're remaking their Brachiosaurus desktop model, too. Looks nice, but I kinda hope that's not the final color scheme. I wonder, though - is it really Brachiosaurus, or Giraffatitan? I can't yet discern the difference.

Blade-of-the-Moon

Hard to say..I would say Giraffatitan to start with due to the bulk of the body and it's relation to the legs...but the tail is pretty long more like in Brachiosaurus.

I'm really liking the new wave of Favorites (especially the Spinosaurus!!)

....silly question, Is Favorite connected to a museum?

Those new Favorites look great and quite accurate! Does anyone know how big they are?
