There is one UK retailer of the Favorite range that I know, and that's Dinosaurtime: http://www.dinosaurtime.co.uk/dinosaur-toy-models/new-favorite-dinosaurs/
Hopefully, they'll get the new ones in :) I certainly want that Archaeopteryx, so I'll get my hands on it one way or another

I'd completely forgotten about this shop - thanks for the reminder!

Dinosaurtime is in the Official Favorite Resellers list I posted before ( http://f-favorite.net/english/distributor/ ).
Personally I can't recommend that web-shop (I had trouble with Dinosaurtime in the past, several times ..) but, despite of my personal issues with them,  they only sell the "new" Softmodels line + Vinyl (not all of them, mostly the models for kids) + Resin figures (and not ALL of them).
They don't have Prehistoric Life models (Dunkleosteus, Mammoth, Smilodon...) nor the new Cambrian set..
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think they won't sell the new Archaeopteryx.  :-\

Ah, so it is! Sorry ^-^ Their website seems to have been updated, but the information hasn't since 2013, which doesn't inspire confidence. I've shopped with them a couple of times because they have certain things that ED don't, and they were excellent. However in terms of service and communication, they're not a patch on ED. I'll keep an eye on their site anyway, but maybe I should boldly go where I've never been before to acquire that highly desirable Archaeopteryx...

When the Favorite Archaeopteryx will be available, I'll order it directly from Favorite through my Japan agent.
If you are interested, I could order a copy more..  :)

Hey.

I've never posted to this thread but hopefully everyone here knows I can get anything from Japan.

The spino just released and I'm taking orders now.

Thanks.

The new swimming Spinosaurus and the Archaeopteryx are in the Soft Model line (not in the Prehistoric Line) so it's PVC (as usual..):

Wow! The new Swimming Spinosaurus is incredible! Spinosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, so I will definitely be picking this up.

Despite the original photo showing it in someone's hand for scale, the Archaeopteryx is bigger than I thought. It's astonishing how much nicer it looks than their Velociraptor from just a few years ago.

it looks double the size of the PNSO mini Archaeopteryx

When I clicked the second link in RobinGoodfellow's post yesterday, the Archaeopteryx wasn't listed among the Favorite soft models, but it is now.  Here's its page: http://www.f-favorite.net/SHOP/73318.html

Undoubtedly the spinosaurus and archeopteryx of Favorite are a huge improvement over the old figures of Favorite.

For me this company is one of the best in Asia and the world make toy figures suitable for collectors, precise and beautiful spinosaurus swimmer that I have ordered will be a good partner with his counterpart of Collecta on the other hand archeopteryx is a great figure.

Undoubtedly I like the philosophy of Favorite the bad that many of its best figures discontinued them soon and it is very difficult to find them. I hope that more figures of this new company will be released. It's next to Safari, Collecta, PNSO and Papo from my favorite companies.

I've been taking orders for both since Monday and will continue to do so through the weekend.  I'll place the order with the site this coming Monday.

If interested, or if you want to know how we work (Just broke 100 buyer names on our mailing list.), please don't hesitate to PM.

Thanks.

The Spino and Archeopteryx both look great, especially the Archeopteryx. Every time I look at the Spino I keep thinking it looks like it just got surprised by a Geyser!  :P

Luckily (if all goes well) my favorite dinosaur figures, spinosaurus and archeopteryx 2016 are on the way and soon (hopefully so) will be in my hands.  :))

New vinyl model of Spinosaurus based on the 2014 reconstruction. I guess a big vinyl Archaeopteryx can't be far behind.

I may get this one in my next order, assuming I'm as pleased with the vinyls as I expect to be when the African penguin arrives.

Although maybe the tail-dragging pose of those older Spinosaurus figures is more likely to be accurate than the pose of this new Spinosaurus figure. ;)
