It really annoys me when artists/toy companies put a measly little row of feathers starting at the wrists. It just feels like a cop-out to me...

Would these count, Pam?

Yes, but seeing as how it's my favorite artist, I might be forced to forgive them.
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

In fairness, they also draw fully (or more extensively) feathered dinosaurs too.  ;D

Much as it pains me to disagree with you, Patrick... *Throws a gastrolith in your direction also*  :P ;D

After the beauty that is the 2012 Dino Expo Tyrannosaurus from Kinto/Favorite, I don't think I'll ever be able to spend money on a featherless theropod again.

With the exception of Malcolm's Ceratosaurus and Dilophosaurus, which I have already ordered; they are rather nice.

Stop the feather madness!


BTW: Does anyone know where to get the Favorite Expo polystone Tyrannosaurus (except for the Tokyo museum shop and the highly overprized Clawmark offer)?

Oh, don't tell me you're not at least a little curious to know what a feathered hadrosaur might look like ;D

Himmapaan

I'd even thought about drawing one, truth be told.  :P But I'm ready to confess that I am glad hadrosaurs are remaining scaly.  ;D

And hey, I'd only just finished a commission for a fuzzy sauropod not two hours ago.  ;)

'Deign', haha! You make me sound dreadful. ;D Yes, I'll definitely share it when I have permission. :)

I really want that Papo Brachiosaurus. I want it to be my JP Brachiosaurus for the display.

Roselaar

Went to my preferred Papo store yesterday. No trace of the Brachiosaurus yet. When I informed the lady behind the counter about it, she said it wasn't in the August batch of Papo products, with the next batch not up for at least a month. Guess it won't make that August deadline anymore then... :-/

It was some time in July that we were told that here (can't remember by who).

I missed that. I was probably on vacation then. Any update on a new deadline for the Brachiosaurus?

Blade-of-the-Moon

I believe it's still September the Brachio.

Takama

The Brachio Is still comeing out in September(as far as i know) However, Dans says that Papos products are the most unpredictable.

Metallisuchus

Yeah I've noticed that too... The Papo Oryx Antelope (Gemsbok) was supposed to be released months ago.

Message from DeanJankins with some dissapointing news


QuoteBecause I remembered that you were interested in the release date of the Papo Brachiosaurus, I thought you might like to see this information that I got from my Papo supplier . . . .



I just heard back from Papo about the Brachiosaurus. The ETA now is Nov 1st.

At this rate, it may as well be a 2013 figure

Somewhere I had a message that said latest September, earliest October...

So eventually?  As it is, my daughter, who spent July and August pining for the Brachiosaurus, has moved on, so I can save $40. Of course, she moved on to a $50 dragon figure from Schleich...
