CollectA New for 2017

[Jose S.M.]

.... My only complain is that CollectA has made their new standard figure much smaller that previous one! I kid you not, but the ceratopsians are half the size of their predecessors, just slightly bigger than the mini PNSO figures!

Oh, that is rather disappointing to hear.  I like having a herd of similar-sized ceratopsians.  At least I am warned before mine arrive. (And I shall still order them.)

And I'm always wishing the previous ones were a little bigger! That's a bit disappointing.

Ideally, the ceraptosides should be like xenoceratops. I can not imagine what the excalibosaurus will be like (smaller even the dolichorhynchops from the same company.

I think the ideal size is that it is neither too big nor too small. In the middle in the case of dinosaurs is the virtue without doubt regarding the standard dinosaurs of Collecta. I think even the sinoceratops of Favorite Special Edition that I have is going to be a giant compared to the ceraptosides and the gigantspinosaurus.

On the other hand I anticipate the uintatherium is going to be much smaller than the arsinoitherium unfortunately. I know that I am anticipating events but my intuition by the photos of the different Ferias of the toy of London for example give that impression hope I am wrong.

[Silvanusaurus]

The size and 'presence' of the Kronosaurus is pushing many buttons on me. Some buttons I didn't even know I had.

I received mine today, I thought you were exaggerating about being half the size of the previous ones, but my gosh they really do look like they are:



They are more than just slightly larger than the PNSO minis, however, but I forgot to add them in, and I don't feel like fighting photobucket anymore tonight.

[suspsy]

Wow, those are small! Still, they look beautifully sculpted regardless. And hey, this means they'll take up less display space.

[Keaton64]

They could have taken some of the mass from the two standard size ceratopsians and added it to the styracosaurus.  Seriously, it does look gargantuan in that earlier picture.

[Sigmasaurus]

Yeah true. I actually never though about it in that way.

[Flaffy]

Darn they are small, yet the same price as before.
Could it be because Einiosaurus and Regaliceratops are smaller species?
A bit hesitant to purchase these now, especially since David's ceratopsian line is arriving soon.

[Neosodon]

I like collecta's tiny Psitacosaurus and Struthomimus because they were small dinosaurs and it adds to the model's sense of realism. But Regaliceratops was a fairly decent sized ceratopsian and to make it smaller when collecta's ceratopsians are all ready small to begin with is rather disappointing. Other than that it is a real nice model, beautifully sculpted. It has more of a streamline graceful appearance that isn't usually portraid in ceratopsians  I'll probably pick it up anyways and pretend it's the runt of the herd.

The Einiosaurus on the other hand looks like it got swallowed whole and then regurgitated by a T Rex.

[EarthboundEiniosaurus]

That's quite a shame about the size... although the fact that the Collecta Regaliceratops is the only quality one on the market and the fact that i'm an Einiosaurus completest means it looks like i'll be getting both anyway 

[Gwangi]

I thought I was excited about this years ceratopsians from CollectA but once again, I'm actually disappointed. They don't hold a candle to Doug's sculpts with the Einiosaurus being a prime example. The Regaliceratops is especially frustrating. The body just looks like a lumpy mass without any muscle tone or definition. The neck is very weird looking too. Hopefully I just need to see more pictures, this makes me sad. I will admit that the head sculpts are good though, just not a fan of the bodies.

I feel the same way about the NewFeatherd Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus by Safari. Only instead of being too small, there too Freaking big


I knew that the Styracosaurus would not be in 1:40 Scale. If it would, it would have to be a Standard Sized figure.    I still wish CollectA would drop the Scale from there marketing

[Halichoeres]

I'm guessing their "1:40" Styracosaurus will be around 1:15. I didn't buy it though, so I'm not sure.

I did buy the Regaliceratops, and I actually like it more than I expected to. It's small, yes, but according to my measuring tape it's about 1:35, so it works pretty well on my shelf. It is pretty nicely to scale with the new deluxe Deinocheirus, in fact.

1:35? I would of guessed 1:50. How long is it exactly?

A 1:50 Regeliceratops would be only four inches long

I did the math and got a 1:41 scale for the Regaliceratops.
For comparison..
Collecta Lythronax is 1:44
Collecta Xenoceratops is 1:45
Collecta Feathered T Rex is 1:41

So ignore my earlier statement. The Regalicertops is just about the right size. It's just skinny which makes it look small and it wasn't that large of a ceratopsian to begin with. It scales perfectly with collecta's other models so go ahead and pick it up if the size was you only complaint. It's a perfect model. Collecta's best ceratopsian I think. Beautiful streamlined graceful look, great detail and paint job. Picking it up for sure. 

[Halichoeres]

I got slightly different numbers, but in the same basic neighborhood. I only measured the skull, because that's the only part of Regaliceratops that's known. The authors estimate its length at 1570 cm, and the toy's head is about 4.3 cm, so 1:36.5.

Regaliceritops was estimated to be about 5 meters long. So I converted that to centameters and divided by the length of the model which was posted on collecta's website to get the scale. Keep in mind that the head may not be perfectly proportioned to the body so it is more accurate to take the length of the whole model to get the scale.

[Daspletotyrannus]

Is Einiosaurus at 1:40 scale?  If Regaliceratops is around 1:40 I'll be happy.  Well I guess I will get them both. Isn't there a delay for North America? Or is only for the United States?

Is Gigantspinosaurus 1:40? I'm also thinking about getting it too.

I get about 1:28 for the Gigantspinosaurus, based on the whole body since it's more completely known. I ordered mine from Minizoo, but I don't think anybody is selling them in North America yet.
