Favorite: New For 2017

[Cloud the Dinosaur King]

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.

Apparently spinosaur footprints were discovered in Asia. I think they were form Siamosaurus. It was a four toed foot with a tail drag.

New teaser photo from Favorite: prototypes of a series of PVC miniature dioramas by Kazunari Araki.



Similar in concept to the Bandai diorama gashapons, but better execution. Favorite hasn't listed the genera, but to my eye it looks like:

Spinosaurus vs. Sarcosuchus
Velociraptor vs. Protoceratops
Tyrannosaurus vs. Triceratops
Pteranodon pair squabbling over a fish
Allosaurus feeding on Stegosaurus

Scheduled for release this summer.

Sigh...

I expected better of Favorite than the further the Spinosaurus vs Sarcosuchus myth.

Did somebody say "fish"?

[sauroid]

i doubt they even lived sympatrically.

[Shonisaurus]

Are they a model museum? As the bistahieversor vs pentaceratops; Guanlong vs yinlong; Redondasaurus vs coelophysis; Yutyrannus fighting; zhuchengtyrannus vs. sinoceratops. That is good news. Thanks Halichoeres, great news, how bad they are planned for the summer, which is a shame.

On the other hand the favorite dinosaur models are unfortunately very well-kept animals except for the protoceratops and the sarcosuchus (I hope it is of the same genius that the redondasaurus of which I keep very good memories.

[brettnj]

I'm taking orders for these now.

Please PM if interested.

Thanks.

Sarcosuchus didn't even coexist temporally with Spinosaurus.

[BlueKrono]

When Spinosaurus was alive Egypt looked like the Everglades. It's perfectly reasonable that there would have been large crocodilians in such a nutrient-rich environment.

I don't think these are museum exclusives, no. I have never seen Favorite even mention the Fukui Museum figures on their facebook page. We learned of their existence either from Araki's blog or from them suddenly appearing on eBay. Moreover, they explicitly said that these will be comparable in scale to their existing dinosaur mini line. I expect they'll be available from their online store for 1200 yen apiece or so.

Sigh...

I'm only guessing on the ID. They haven't said what it's meant to be.

There is, apparently, an undescribed very large crocodiliforme that was a contemporary of Spinosaurus.  It sounded similar to Sarcosuchus in overall proportions, maybe this is meant to be that.

[Patrx]

Here's a slightly clearer look at the Tyrannosaurus VS. Triceratops set.

[CrypticPrism]

But does this mean that sarcosuchus actually lived in kem kem and is the monster?

[Patrx]

And today, a look at the Allosaurus VS. Stegosaurus piece.

[Halichoeres]

Well-executed, if gaunt. I'm more excited to see what they do for the Prehistoric Life Line this year, if anything.

[Shonisaurus]

I guess those photos are the prototypes. The figures will be adorned with paintings like the other dinosaurs and prehistoric PNSO animals. Independent of this note are great sculptural ensembles. They look made in one piece.

On the other hand, when it comes to prehistoric life other than dinosaurs, it would be interesting for them to make prehistoric mammals or a xiphactinus, in case they do something about this kind of figures this year.

[KeU]

Don't think the Tyrannosaurus can get its leg back down again after getting it up on the Triceratops.

[postsaurischian]

As some might know I'm an admirer of the Favorite Collection.
But from an artist's point of view ... wouldn't Mr. Araki gradually get bored?
What is he going to sculpt next year? A Tyrannosaurus rex?

I'd love to see Hirokazu Tokugawa also jumping on the Dinosaur Softmodel boat - doing the more obscure species.

Absolutely! Mr. Araki is very talented, but I am not fond of his particular style. Tokugawa's work is generally much more appealing to me.

[Takama]

I want to like Favorite. but the fact that there most obscure Dinos are a Pain to obtain due to being exclusives really turns me away from them
