New 1:35 Giganotosaurus PVC figure from China

[KeU]

Anyone has ordered and received this figure yet?
Seems like it is in stock.

Wondering how it displays next to the PNSO figures.

I have ordered it.  It is on pre-order now.  The figure is expected to come out in November.  That's what they told me.

I will post photos next to the PNSO figures as soon as I get it.

very nice, but the price is too much for me.
wasn't expecting it to be so flexible. Is TPR that plastic Mojo is using? the horse figure collectors on STS hate it!

btw what kinds of stores can I buy plastic rods(Home Depot?) I have so many theropod figures leaning against herbivores so they wont fall over its ridiculous!

YES TPR is the Materail that Mojo is using

Thanks Simon. Looking forward to them.

Ebay.  I linked to the ebay store of the guy I bought my rods from above in this thread ...

In the video he says it's not soft enough to impair standing, or to bend in heat.

Well, if there are metal rods inside each leg he might be right ... but somehow I don't think he's had to watch his figures start to droop during a Central Valley, California, or Texas, or Phoenix, Arizona Summer!!   

Happily, I've got lots of clear acrylic rods ready for all upcoming theropods, so "its all good"! 

Hong Kong can get quite hot in the summer, especially in buildings with less advanced ac. It's at a comparable latitude to the places you mentioned But I agree having the rods on hand is a good backup.

yeah I saw the link and bookmarked it. Thanks!

According to what Ive read on some of the STS Mojo threads,  TPR plastic seems to be prone to paint chipping/rubs so keep that in mind when you all handle/store this figure.

Dang that looks so good, I'd order one too but I don't use FaceBook. Is there another way to order?

  Thanks, Simon.

Thanks, Simon.

Always happy to assist a fellow dino-phile ... 

...one additional thought ... with the uncertainty surrounding PNSO's future, this is a great, relatively inexpensive (for what you get) Giganotosaurus figure...

...in the almost 20 years since I started my dino figure collecting, I've observed that the high-quality figure small start-up companies often have a very short lifespan (remember "Resaurus" anyone), so my recommendation would be to "get them while the getting is good" (ie they may be gone a month from now). 

Prioritizing buying to focus on these high-end quality figures over the more "pedestrian" figures (Papo, Safari, etc), which we know will still be available in a year or two is one way to do it if your budget is limited...

Thank you Simon, I'll give it a try.

I've ordered it.
I've been chatting with the artist on FB. he's a pretty nice guy.
even gave me a peek at an Allosaurus he plans to release next year.

Allosaurus? I hope its a PVC figure instead of a resin one!!  We are overdue for an accurate Allosaurus - then we need a companion Stegosaurus!!

Agreed.  I love my Papo Allosaurus, but it still has bunny hands lol.

[Khanosaurus]

Now all Papo has to do is use this as their base model for their Giganotosaurus and I will be happy. That being said, if we get a Giganotosaurus next year.

Why would you buy a Papo knock-off that's likely to be "monstrously" inaccurate when you can get this one for just a little more than Papo would charge? This figure is pretty affordable as far as high-accuracy figures go ...

Lol. I have no interest in this figure either way, but that is pretty true.
