Favorite Co. Ltd. Softmodels

It's okay. Not the best Mammoth, not the worst. The lack of detail on the tusks feels kinda off compared to the rest of the figure.

To me it's easily the best toy mammoth figure ever made .
I love the simplicity and anatomical accuracy in Tokugawa's sculpts.

Helge would you be able to elaborate at all on the cost or availiblility of the mammoth? I would like to try for one for my fathers tusk display given the lack of decent mastodon figures.

I paid USD $20.00 (figure + shipping within Japan) + international shipping.
I tried to order it four weeks ago but the first wave was already sold out in a rush.
It was back in stock two weeks later .

Cool figure, I hope it becomes easily available to us soon.

It's an official figure from the Favorite Store.
I'm sure that at least Dejankins will have it soon .

How cool. i like the feathered Dino and Carnotaurus.

That Tamba sauropod would look soooo good with my other Softmodels. I'm not sure I like all the new ones, though. I just want the old ones + orange Spinosaurus, which I never seem to buy. I really like those sculpts. They are definitely highly regarded by Emperor Dinobot.

I got my first Favorite Softmodel Dinosaur today, the blue Spinosaurus.  He's smaller than I thought and his lower jaw came warped, but I'm trying to correct that.  While not quite as detailed as the Papo dinos he's next to, he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like my Safari Microraptor(which, to be honest, wouldn't stick out so much if it had some paint on his underside0.

Eh, that mammoth's okay. Not the best, so I probably won't buy it.

EDIT: Actually looking at other pictures of it, it's not as bad as I originally thought. Though, I don't know if there is any evidence for a red color variant of mammoths.

[stargatedalek]

heres some of the anomalocaris and dunkleosteus
not sure if these were already posted...

[Yutyrannus]

Those were posted a few pages back. They're still cool, though, I'm definitely going to try buying them (finally something worth buying from Favorite).

[stargatedalek]

if they separate from the bases I wouldn't hesitate, but until I know whether or not they do I'm going to hold off
bases are nice to have and all, but I vastly prefer when figures can separate from them

Me too.

[Neven Florian]

When the dunkleosteus will be available? I don't see this one on the official site of kinto favorite

[stargatedalek]

it was on their facebook, I don't think they are released yet
it seems they are being released alongside a giant squid

[Hynerpeton]

How about the Anomolocaris?

[stargatedalek]

AFAIK neither are released yet

[Neven Florian]

Thanks Stargatedalek

There is a TV documentary about a baby mammoth which had red hair.  It seems they had human colored variations.

Oh, okay, thanks! I didn't know (I only knew about the blonde mammoths).

Has anyone seen these? They're the large vinyl ones- and new to me, at least:

Jumbo versions of the new soft models:








Even larger, "premium edition" vinyl models:






Imagine the herd that could be made with these!


Two more "regular" vinyl models:




Nice, colorful crests. I wish this had been around at the time of the first Jurassic Park toys.

Finally, something our administrator might like-




A real sea monster! I have a feeling it would float nicely, too...

I've been somewhat curious about these "vinyl" type models for a while, it would be fun to see them in person. Does anyone have any from the series, or any pictures?

[stargatedalek]

Would that anomalocaris be in 1:1 scale?  Hard to tell

other than the spinosaurus all of these are new to me, I may order this dunkleosteus instead, I prefer the colors

[A.Garcia]

The Favorite website gives these dimensions for the Anomalocaris: L38×W21×H6cm. It would have to be 1:1 at some point in the animal's life, right? Unlike the dinosaurs, the sculpt quality of the Dunkleosteus is sure similar to the soft model. Really big, though.

[docronnie]

I have never seen those models personally, but I usually skip hollow dinos, except for Happinet and Sega Dino King figures.
