Tyrannosaur Family (Phylogeny)

[frank08]

Thank you! I will use that information! Which Albertosaurus is best? And since I now have the Toyway Tyrannosaur, I can measure it myself. I'm asking for about the Albertosaurus because I'm trying to see how you would rank each one. Here are our contestants. The Safari Albertosaurus, Mattel Albertosaurus, Schliech Albertosaurus  and Geoworld Albertosaurus! Rank them using this format.

1.

2.

3.

4. I know this will be the Schliech Albertosaurus so you don't have to put it here.

Also does a 1:40 scale Proceratosaurus or Guanlong exist? Let's throw in a 1:40 scale Dilong too.

I think the Geoworld and Mattel Albertosaurus figures are tied, as neither really looks like Albertosaurus. If they were the only two available I would probably pick the Geoworld due to scale considerations, but the Carnegie isn't that hard to get. So I guess it would be:
1. Carnegie
2. Geoworld
3. Mattel

But the X Plus Albertosaurus is very nice also, just too large for my scale preferences.

I'm not aware of small tyrannosaurs in 1:40 scale except the laughable Simba Stokesosaurus. There might be some available as gaming miniatures.

@Halichoeres I will leave no stone's unturned. And I hope to find that Carnegie Albertosaurus! I regret to inform you that whenever I search "Simba Stokesosaurus Toy" I only get overpriced toys from the Lion King. It looks like the stone's have let me down on this one. I'm tired of ordering my figures from Europe! All I can say is "at least the Toyway figures were worth it". By gaming miniatures do you mean pieces on board games resembling the dinosaurs? I did some math and it looks like the PNSO mini Proceratosaurus will fit my scale! The Beasts of the Mesozoic Tyrannosaur Line will affect many of your collections. Sadly not mine because I'm not up to that cost. But I can find figures that will substitute the elusive Tyrannosaurines that aren't made commonly.

The Stokesosaurus took a long time to find. You might be better off waiting for someone else to make one, honestly. With theropods, it's usually just a matter of time before someone makes it.

As for gaming miniatures, I mean the metal figures that people use for tabletop war games. For example, Magister Militum makes a bunch of tiny dinosaur figures (they come unpainted). https://www.magistermilitum.com/era.html?cat%5B0%5D=59817

Thanks @Halichoeres! I'm sure that if Collecta or Safari makes a miniature (preferably 1:40) Stokesosaurus, it would look a lot better than the pitiful little dude from Simba. I'm think about doing group shots of the dinosaur families, but I would like to do a shot for the small Tyrannosaurs and the larger Tyrannosaurs. I will use about 1:20 for the small tyrannosaurines and 1:30 to 1:45 (with the exceptions of the Collecta Bistahieversor which is around 1:50 and the Favorite Zhuchungtyrannus). I will make diorama sets based off place and time (since scale constraints aren't my top priority now). And thank you, I will look into those gaming miniatures.

Where did you get it? I would like to find one. @Halichoeres

Hello @Nanuqsaurus! That's a nice portrait of you! That's a good @Nanuqsaurus picture!

It's good.

[andrewsaurus rex]

there was the X Plus Albertosaurus.....quite a large figure at about 20 inches long.  Pretty nice sculpt too.  The vinyl it was made from is a bit on the soft side.

[Shonisaurus]

It's honestly the best non-tyrannosaurus rex tyrannosaurus made to date by a toy dinosaur company. Nice little work by Doug, will next year be the winner of the Prehistoric Times? For me it is the best dinosaur figure of this year of all brands, although other companies such as GR Toys, Collecta, PNSO, Nanmu or Rebor must be taken into account to give several examples. That daspletosaurus stands out in terms of quality and beauty.
