David Silva's Beasts of the Mesozoic: Ceratopsian Series - WAVE TWO SHIPPING!

[Agen Kolar]

We're at $450,152 - full-sized adult Triceratops unlocked!!!

[LeapingLaelaps]

Woohoo! Only one left to unlock now~

[Shonisaurus]

The pentaceratops is superior to the other replicas of other brands of the same species, it looks great BoTM is a leading company in articulated dinosaur figures.

[Faelrin]

I wasn't expecting that to happen today. That's amazing! Now onwards to the Torosaurus, which isn't that much farther off.

I am eagerly waiting to see the most accurate (according to latest research) T.rex sculpt action figure from Mr. Silva. I have requested him earlier to add lips and every other details of the saurian latest rendition of the creature. Please make the limbs proportionate. Though I don't know what tyrannosaur genus it represents, but still I want to mention that the feet are slightly large in the shadow image version. Please correct it in the final figure and the left leg seems to be slightly lean compared to the right one and the heel in the left one seems to be slightly larger. Please correct these minor issues in the finished model. Please fulfill my unquenchable desire and fantasy for an accurate T.rex figure which I do believe only you are able to do by your immensely beautiful artistry and knowledge about these creatures.

In which month of the next year will we be able to see the drawings and outlines of the tyrannosaur figures in this blog?

[Shonisaurus]

I would sincerely like David Silva to expand the ceraptoside collection further if sales go well for the Creative Beasts Studio brand. I would like an arrinoceratps and an anchiceratops, they are two ceraptósidos that do not appear in the long list of figures planned for this next year.

Aaand Torosaurus is funded!!
Unfortunately it is out of my budget. Though if David made a "subadult" Torosaurus, like how he did with the Triceratops, I would gladly pick it up.


I genuinely did not expect that all stretch goals would've been reached within the year. Welp, I'm not complaining either.
Hopefully with this monumental success, David will reconsider including other scrapped species that were originally planned, especially those 1/18 and 1/6 basal ceratopsians.

Fingers crossed for it .

I'm amazed that so much funding has poured in after the initial Kickstarter.  It seems David's plan was a shrewd one!  I won't be buying the massive final pair, but am really pleased that people have the chance to indulge in one.  Looking forward now to hearing his progress reports as production gets underway.

[Faelrin]

I'm very glad, not only because the rest those that were not funded during the kickstarter were given another chance, but with how relatively fast it took to get the rest of those unlocked. I was seriously not expecting to wake up today and see that the Torosaurus would have been funded so fast after the adult Triceratops. I am very glad I was wrong.

I would certainly like to see some of those scrapped ceratopsians get made in the future, but I do think David is planning on moving to working on the tyrannosaurids soon.

[Appalachiosaurus]

I will forever curse the heavens for not making me born rich, because it hurts my collector heart to not own every single one of these.

From Facebook:

"Work has begun on fine-cut development for the Beasts of the Mesozoic Ceratopsian action figures! Here's one that's in-progress now, Nastutoceratops. Keep in mind that they are still in the process of making adjustments, for example this is the wrong neck and the 'cheeks' need to be higher on the jaw, but overall, it's already looking very promising!"

[Faelrin]

Good to see some progress from the factories so soon. It's going to be very exciting getting to see how all of this will unfold, until we some day have our figures in our hands.

[Flaffy]

All parts have been sent to the tooling factory.

[Faelrin]

Honestly seeing that makes me nostalgic for the raptor series one. I can only image how time consuming that must have been to complete though. It really makes me aware of how complicated these are to make as well (which was also no different from the raptor one, but perhaps more so now, with the larger amount of additional species).

[LeapingLaelaps]

More fine cuts from the tooling factory!

[Flaffy]

The jaw used on the Zuni, Einio and Ava still look a bit awkward to me. Would've been better if they made a full length jaw similar to that used on the Diablo and Nasuto.

Anyways, the figures are shaping up to be spectacular. Hopefully the seams won't be too distracting.

Some payment info (and some of the above images) in the newest update (basically if you need to pay for more then what the pledge total covered, and you have figures funded from both during the kickstarter and backerkit, like I have, you will be charged on Feb 7th, unless you make paypal payments in advance):

Also pretty interesting that David wants to try to make it possible for the Triceratops to have alternate/swappable horns, if it can be made to look as seamless as possible.

Here's a nifty picture of all of them together from the update too:

[Shonisaurus]

Nice set, thanks for posting that Faelrin group photo! It is beautiful, often set of ceraptosides.

[Dino-mite!]

Disregard. Found what I was looking for.
