I guess I'm referring more to the belly then. It looks like it should come out as far as the elbow. So it's ribs have been shortened a lot it looks like.
Oh, I see, I misunderstood you! I like to informally call that section you're referring to as the 'barrel' (horse term ;D).


amargasaurus cazaui

My suggestion would be to just lengthen the neck a tad and change its name to Plateosaurus..... ;D

I'm afraid it would need considerably more work than that to become a Plateosaurus.  ;D

Seijun

Aliens sucked out it's ribcage :(
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

To make it more acurate display it from the behind (back view). Or directly front on so you cant see how far the chest sticks out.

Some more previews of the new Favorite Soft-Models:
http://www.f-favorite.net/contents/weblog/products/000254.cgi
There are also Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Deinonychus & a second T. rex.

Hm, I think this is maybe the wrong thread, because these won't be available before 2013.

Hmm..those aren't nearly as exciting as the previous ones in my opinion..they each look a little odd. Except maybe the Velociraptor..which just needs more feathers. :/

You do have to remember that these are just the concepts ;) And the brown part of the Velociraptor, are those scales or feathers? It's hard to tell...

Here are my initial opinions on the new models
Brown Rex: Great, an improvement over the old sculpt. It looks quite beefy too, as a Rex should.
Styracosaurus: Great as well, although I prefer my ceratopsians to have large bodies, and short, almost withered tails.
Pteranodon: Meh, just looks like a recolour of their old sculpt.
Allosaurus: Fantastic, a 100% improvement on the old sculpt.
Triceratops:Meh, it's okay. Not as robust as I would like it to be. My idea of a perfect ceratopsian model is the green Favorite desktop model.
Spinosaurus: The colours are nice. I like the dewlap too.
Brachiosaurus: Don't like this one at all. Perhaps I need to see a better picture, but it looks like it's lacking in detail.
Plesiosaurus-thing: It's nice, I am glad to see its neck is 100% straight.
Parasaurolophus: I like the face a LOT better than the old sculpt. Looks a bit on the skinny side though. The figure looks like it has a miffed expression in the pic XD
Ankylosaurus: Pretty nice, I like how the sculptor gave this figure more of a slight active pose, rather than the stock still posture most ankylos get.
Stegosaurus: Same boring recycled Stego colours again :X Orange/red plates and green body. Overall nice sculpt though, but I think the back legs are a bit chunky.
Velociraptor: If those brown things are feathers (which I think they are) then it looks great. If not, then it's a bad figure :X
Green Rex: Are Favorite copying Papo's idea of making a female and male Rex pair? Seeing how this one has some feathers on its forearms, perhaps this one could be the male :O

hello guys, favorite has updated their blog with more pictures of new models.
They're redoing the whole soft model series obviously. I LOVE the new stego. And the green Trex is a different sculpt from the brown one.

I WANT them  ^-^

Jetoar

I think the same. Allosaurus is very accurate  :).
[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"!?

Actually, I was told they might start trickling in this year. Thought I mentioned that, maybe not.

Anyway, look at this funny little fluffy-armed fellow! Is there a more coy way of sneaking feathers onto a tyrannosaur?


Seijun

He also has feathers across his back and tail.

Not fond of the feathers on the arm though. They don't look natural to me.

no they are doing what they did for there last run.

They had a Brown and Green rex out then.


Seijun

Favorite had two paint versions of all their dinos, didn't they? However, this is a little dif in that each trex is a different sculpt.

I don't think they all had an alternate color, unless you count those clean white ones in the Paint your dinosaur series

I personally believe they are continuing the trend of making 2 Rex's, only instead of lazily recoloring the same sculpt, they made a diffrent interpretation.

Seijun

Nevermind, only the trex and deinonychus had two paint versions.

There were four paint versions of the T. rex ;).
