CollectA New for 2017

[Killekor]

My opinions:

Kronosaurus is anatomically okay, but it reminds me in its colors of a mark ... which is honestly not educational although I do not love its mobile gags I prefer the Safari in this case for its colorful (perhaps more unreal) and why it has no jaws Articulated and I appreciate that. Safari is fortunately the only company that does not make dinosaurs with jaws and articulated body parts.

For now the figures are very good but what I said I do not like that the kronosaurus has mobile jaws have more merit to make dinosaurs and carnivorous animals without moving jaws from my optics of sight, although it must be recognized that these figures aside from the collectors are destined to children. However in this case I thank Safari for that detail I celebrate with its carnivores and marine animals!

I wish all companies would do the same with their prehistoric dinosaurs and carnivorous animals like Safari.

I like articulated dinosaur models, but I will like that this brands found a material that cover where you see the seam, like many acrylic paint.

I think that safari have to do dinosaurs with movable jaw.

Until now I haven't liked anything Collecta put out enough to buy it, but that might change 2017. I really like the Einosaurus and now Regaliceratops.

May I ask why do you have such an adversion to articulated jaws?

Agreed. 2016 came close, but not enough.

[Patrx]

No dromaeosaurs yet, eh? Ah, well. The Regaliceratops looks really great! So does the Styracosaurus, I may replace my giraffe-necked Papo model with it.
I'm confused by the Deinocheirus, it appears to be identical to the one from this year?

So I guess you won't be getting any articulated figures? Even the BotM 'raptors'?

[Patrx]

I admit, I certainly dislike articulation, even if it is just jaws. Animals don't have hinges!

Yeah, it's very strange that CollectA hasn't made any sort of dromaeosaurs yet (expect for that 'velociraptor' from the dark ages)
The deinocheirus is slightly different, with the tail being lower and the head turned to the side, it is also a CollectA deluxe figure.

I see it now! I should have looked more closely.

[Flaffy]

Regaliceratops, mmmm....... I think I have seen those colors before....

Meh, I'd say that the CollectA figure is different enough from this depiction of the regaliceratops.

[suspsy]

There's still at least five or six more figures to be revealed, so we could still get a dromaeosaur. I'm very curious to see what the other sea monster will be. I also hope we're more than just one prehistoric mammal.

In Anthony Beeson's own words, the colour scheme is based on a British song bird (apparently something he does frequently). So if it looks familiar...it's because it's a bird's colour.

Sincerely from my humble point of view I am not a supporter of the movable jaws why I, as a collector, value a complete sculpture.

It is not the same The Piedad of Michelangelo made of a single piece that an articulated mannequin. This is why I strongly value that Safari never make articulated jaws, and it is more preferred that they did not make any jaw or articulated figure because it is more artistic among other things, from my point of view.
I have aversion to the mobile jaws why moving them is deteriorating the jaw and that I am very careful with the collections of dinosaurs, apart from the seam that behave said figures.

With that I do not want to offend any member of the forum but that is one of my reasons. I prefer the carcharondotosaurus Collecta with all its successes and defects than the torvosaurus or acrocantosaurus of the same brand for that reason. I do not like it from the aesthetic point of view.

For I do not really like dinosaurs with articulated jaws, and I have an adversity to them for a simple reason: so that they do not give themselves of these figures many of them wonderful with their scientific imprecations like Papo or with a great beauty and scientific precision I have to I have to have them normally closed or open since they give of themselves.

Apart from this I do not like dinosaurs to have seams and that is inevitable with the movable jaws. This is my humble point of view, but I acknowledge that most forum members prefer to have articulated jaws, my honest opinion is that they should be removed from all dinosaur figures of all brands, or the jaws are open or Closed (a medium term).

Of course I am going to acquire FlaffyRaptors esteemed member of the forum I am a simple amateur and collector of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals and even more passionate but I sincerely do not like for the reasons pointed out before. That does not mean that they remain beautiful figures but from my humble point of view I prefer that they not be so.

I sincerely prefer from that point of view marine reptiles like the pliosaurus of Collecta being certainly less scientific accurate than the fabulous kronosaurus of the same factory. Beautiful figures of dinosaurs can be made without the use of articulated jaws.


I do not like, for example, how flimsy the jaws of Papo's dinosaurs are, or how the figures of Collecta or the infamous Schleich continually close their jaws.

[DinoToyForum]

I think the Kronosaurus has echoes of the Invicta pliosaur. Sculpt wise only, of course the colour is different.

[Dilopho]

I'm going to put the pictures here:

There's one tiny little thing about the Kronosaurus...it bears a much stronger resemblance to Liopleurodon ferox than any species of Kronosaurus.Given how many very close relatives CollectA makes no matter how similar,I wonder if there were 3d prints of both species made (they do this with their dinosaurs and modern marine life at least) and they got the names mixed up?

[terrorchicken]

I like all 3 new reveals... nice to see a pliosaur that doesnt have WWD colors for once.
Also Im convinced that Collecta and Safari ltd spy on each other.
also, yeah I wonder why Collecta makes so few dromaeosaurs.   

[Roselaar]

More great stuff! The Kronosaurus must definitely be a nod to the old Schleich figure, much updated and improved. The Deinocheirus looks splendid, but I wish they gave it a posture more different from this year's model. Or made it a dead one.

Will we be getting any dead dinosaurs this year, you think?

I honestly don't see that resemblance? This model's definitely got the shape of the Kronosaurus skull rather than Liopleurodon's. Below the neck, maybe, but you have to remember that the classic depiction of Kronosaurus is based on a skeleton with too many vertebrae added in. More updated restorations are going to look similar to other pliosaurs.
