Am I the only one that prefers the other PNSO rex to this one?  O:-)

We are a scarce but noble folk.

I quite like it too. It could just use a slight repaint like what someone else here received. The stock One that most of us got is VERY brown and a little boring, IMO. But with just a little bit of added color variation it looks stellar.

A more vibrant colour scheme would have really helped the first version. Perhaps PNSO will repaint it in the future.

Are you referring to a third paint scheme?

As far as I can see, PNSO has now disappeared from amazon.de as well.

As I said before, now PNSO is selling a repainted version of the "old" brown Rex.

The tyrannosaurus rex Wilson is fabulous, which is not known if this is solid plastic and not hollow like the previous ones. On the other hand I suppose it will be more accessible to the pockets of the buyers. They make a very good team with the tyrannosaurus Safari and Collecta feathered and with the "vasttosaurus" of Papo. :o

i think it's been mentioned a few times by the owners of this figure that it is a solid and heavy PVC figure .

I'd never noticed it before, but looking at this pic, do I see a little fuzz detail on the back of the head and the shoulders?

It def looks as if that Rex is sporting a fashionably-forward fohawk.

Minmiminime

It's definitely growing on me in this updated colour scheme. Even more so, now that I've spotted the protofeathers ^-^

Unfortunately PNSO has disappeared from Amazon worldwide..  :-\
If PNSO won't come back on Amazon, the only way to buy figures will be a Taobao agent or a reseller like Dan's Dinosaurs or DeJankins.  ::)

Silvanusaurus

Well, blast! Apparently my 2 new PNSO's had a failed delivery attempt at 5:00 am this morning, and even if that wasn't ridiculously early, I happen to be away from home at the minute anyway. I'm really surprised, both at how fast they got there, and that there were absolutely no customs fees for what I assume are 2 fairly large boxes. It's frustrating knowing they could have been in my hands right now if it weren't for the timing. Unfortunately I cannot arrange a new delivery date online, I'll have to wait until I get back and find the missed delivery card.  :'(
Anyway, this makes me feel much more positive about ordering more from them in future, the thought of a long wait and custom charges was putting me off.

cant people just order directly through the PNSO office/s via email? i suppose the issue is payment through paypal or direct creditcard payment. i havent checked but doesnt PNSO have a website? why cant they just process orders through the site? wish we had a PNSO representative in the forum to deal with us directly.

They do indeed have a website but the "shop" section puts you through to amazon.  I don't think that Paypal works in China.  I suspect credit card would also be tricky.  The charges for a bank transfer from the UK to China are phenomenal - I have done this once and never again.

They sell on E-bay too.

I can find someone called makeup_art selling their larger models (but not Wilson) but I didn't think this was PNSO but a secondary seller?

The only PNSO reseller with Wilson on Ebay (for what I found..) is MonsterHouse HK:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PNSO-Dinosaur-Solid-PVC-Model-Figure-Tyrannosaurus-rex-Wilson-T-rex-1-35-boxset-/152430091730?hash=item237d8a9dd2:g:YBYAAOSw241YeQD8

The total price (figure+shipping) is higher than Amazon (..to my Country..).

Dobber

Well that stinks, I could've sworn I recall there being several on EBay around a month ago. Oh well.  :-[

it is easier to order from MHHK but the price i think is triple than the other sources... talk about making a killing.
