Eofauna general discussion

[Syndicate Bias]

I'm also probably gonna get grilled but I wouldn't mind an accurate T Rex from Eofauna considering the fact that I'm not one of the first to ever choose a T Rex over a Giga but Eofauna making one would get me to actually buy one since alot of other companies just do the usual jp inspired ones.

Don't ever feel the least bit guilty about wanting a new Tyrannosaurus rex toy. I'd love it if Eofauna did one based on the artwork from their superb Dinosaurs Facts and Figures: The Theropods book—which you all should purchase if you haven't already!

Maybe next time I hope  I really wanted a matching T Rex with the Giga to go on an accurate scale from Eofauna

As someone who takes the anti-T. rex side of dino-collector politics, EoFauna is the one company I wouldn't mind seeing one from, although the controversies with lips and feathers may be enough to deter them from making it.

I doubt it. They certainly didn't hesitate to include a feathered T. rex in their recent Theropods book.

I'd be more concerned about it being lipless, but that's just me.

The more realistic the Eofauna tyrannosaurus rex, the better if the carnivorous theropods scientifically had lips, I suppose that Eofauna will do it according to the latest scientific discoveries, as did his giganotosaurus, but that I wish that the new Eofauna tyrannosaurus rex did not suffer from problems of stability.

Fair enough, but I suspect they'd get more backlash on a figure than on one of many reconstructions in a book.

Same here    (or does the Theropod book reconstruction also have lips?)

I sincerely hope Eofauna isn't preoccupied with such trivial concerns. They should simply go with whatever concept they're confident in. The T. rex in their book isn't anywhere near as shaggy as the 2015 CollectA and the 2017 Safari versions. Just a smattering of short bits on the neck and back.

Companies are bound to get backlash no matter what anyway. I've seen a number of people on Facebook disparaging the Atlasaurus, claiming that it looks "fake" or too much like a "deformed Brachiosaurus."

Yes indeed!

Yeah, they're short enough that I nearly questioned whether they were even feathers. I do hope they make a T.rex in the style of the one in the book, as it's the first time I've seen a 'back feathers only' reconstruction that looks convincing.

The T. rex has its mouth open so it's hard to tell, but all the other large theropods in the book lack lips, as does the line drawing of T. rex in a diagram. 

[Kaustav Bhattacharyya]

Please definitely add lips to all the land based theropods including T.rex  to be sculpted in future, more precisely  teeth need to be guarded by lips when the mouth closes and will not be seen unaided in the closed mouth version like that in the giga when closes it's mouth. Also please don't add the same in the aquatic fish eating spinosaurus or it's relatives.

Though Carr's paper goes against it, I still believe that  presence of lips guarding the teeth more scientifically sound in the land dwelling theropods rather than it's absence.

[Shonisaurus]

I honestly don't care at all for Eofauna to make a feathered tyrannosaurus rex and a triceratops. Although there are many dinosaurs on the market such as Tyrannosaurus rex and triceratops it is always necessary to have a new tyrannosaurus and triceratops are iconic dinosaurs and an aurea of mysticism that do not tire those of us who are collectors.

I welcome that in the future Eofauna will make a tyrannosaurus as I take for granted having informed me on the Eofauna website that the next ceraptoside is triceratops.

[Kaustav Bhattacharyya]

Is there any information what new dinosaur (especially a mega theropod which I am specially interested) is going to be released in the next year by Eofauna?

As neither Atlasaurus nor Deinotherium have been released yet, there isn't.

[Shonisaurus]

I think we will have to wait longer than we imagine for a new Eofauna dinosaur figure to be revealed. I get the impression that the company will delay delivery to online stores atlasaurus and deinotherium as it is happening as Papo's spinosaurus. Maybe I'm a little pessimistic and hopefully I'm wrong. But Papo spinosaurus was expected to be marketed in June and we are in October and still have no signs of life, and the atlasaurus and deinotherium are expected to be sold in early November, unfortunately they take until January or February to market these figures. His giganotosaurus took longer than expected. I said hopefully it is simply a negative thought on my part.

What scale does Eofauna sculpt in?

What scale does Eofauna sculpt in?

1:40 for large sauropods, 1:35 for everything else.

Don't let the Papo Spino keep your hopes down. The Atlasaurus has some in hand pics on Baidu at least there's something go look at that's fairly recent of it.

[Takama]

MonsterHouse HK had posted some Photos of the Atlasaurus on there instagram, saying that there was only three left.

So i imagine that its release is close for the rest of the world

Except for the Steppe Mammoth (1/40).

Oh, I forgot that they had only made that decision after the Steppe Mammoth was released. Thanks for the reminder
