Favorite Co. Ltd. Softmodels

[Bokisaurus]

Where did you get them from Boki? HLJ is still showing them as backordered, which is odd given that they appear to be readily available.

I got them from this ebay sell, pretty reasonable price really and she combined shipping, so that really saved me a LOT of $, I think it ended up costing me like $27 for shipping for all 5 figures.

Apparently the Archelon and Dimetrodon will be released by January 2015 at the latest, according to my Japanese contact.

Favorite patterned the paint scheme of their Archelon after the extant fly river turtle/pig nose turtle Carettochelys insculpta

That's good to know.Thanks for the heads up.

Does this mean a model of the new Spinosaurus?

[stargatedalek]

it isn't the new skeleton, so perhaps they had already started it some time ago

[Daspletodave]

Any news about that Favorite Archelon or Dimetrodon?

To all the owners of the Favorite Anomalocaris and/or Dunkleosteus:
I am going to buy either the Anomnomnomalocaris (I couldn't resist ) or the Dunk off of eBay, and I was wondering which you would recommend higher. I honestly have no idea which to get, as they both look like great figures.

I have both--I'd recommend the Anomalocaris myself. It hasn't been done as a large figure by anyone else. It's also really well done.

The Dunkleosteus, on the other hand, has that strange lunate tail that Japanese companies insist on putting on them (despite slightly more evidence being that they would have been a more extended, not lobed, fin) so you can hold out for the widely available Safari figure instead.

I already have the Safari, and it's a great model. Anomnomnomalocaris it is then!

 Any news on the Archelon and the Dimetrodon? I checked Favorite's website but couldn't find anything: http://www.e-favorite.net/products/prehistoric/VinylModel/

Delayed maybe?

Hey guys - especially those living in the UK or somewhere in Europe. Dinosaurtime is having a Favorite sale. They are selling some of the old models for £3,95 which I found reasonable for such great models.

I wasn't supposed to spend anything on dinos this month but...ohe well...just got me the Apatosaurus and Parasaurolophus!

[thelordsgym]

Great Choices Mikko....the Stegosaurus is also very well done!

New from Favorite Co.'s Facebook page:






It looks pretty nice to me!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Dang..just when I thought I had all the Dimetrodon figures I needed...

[triceratops83]

Nice, subtle colours.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

What scale is it? It looks big, especially for a Favorite figure. I like it. But he seems too finished off -- mainly his sail. I like Carnegie's better, and of course the details on Papo.

[tyrantqueen]

Like it

[stargatedalek]

Easily the most realistic dimetrodon I've seen,  and the only accurate one in this size range. It bothers me to no end when companies produce dimetrodon with scales, it should have smooth skin like this one shows. As for the sail, there are a number of dimetrodon species and a number of different sail shapes, from the sail the species can likely be found.
