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

I didn't vote for that Medusaceratops but it certainly has won me over. Reminds me of how fun the Microraptor is to look at in person.

[Shonisaurus]

It's a much better that new color version, that repainted medusacerops far exceeds its predecessor in paint. It is good that BoTM improves every day both in the sculpture and in the painting of its figures. It is much more realistic, this new version of painting.

[Dusty Wren]

Final version of the new Medusa paint scheme is up on Facebook and it is breathtaking.

[Carnoking]

Yeah that's a must have. Head and shoulders above the original, although it will be interesting to see how much of that is captured in the mass produced version

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

That does look gorgeous. I'm pretty sure it's huge though, so another pass.

[Dinoxels]

It's the same size as the first release, only change is the paint

[Pliosaurking]

God what a beaut

And the first release looks too huge as well.

Yeah I'm hoping the final production one is close, because that prototype is amazing. So striking.

Same here. Would like to see how the final production pieces captures this look, but I'm pretty convinced I'll be getting this figure either way.


On another note, I've noticed that a number of the ceratopsian figures are now out of stock on Everything Dinosaur.
Including:
- Zuniceratops
- Zuniceratops (Glow-in-the-dark)
- Styracosaurus
- Chasmosaurus
- Spiclypeus
- Pachyrhinosaurus
- Albertaceratops
- Triceratops (subadult)
- Triceratops (adult)

Does @Everything_Dinosaur expect new stock in the future? Or is this it for the first production run?

[Psittacoraptor]

Off to a strong start. I'm glad I skipped this line other than the Zuniceratops. These repaints are looking much better than the original releases.

The Pachyrhinosaurus is the one I want the most, can't wait to see the new version.

We have another shipment of Beasts of the Mesozoic models including Wave 2 Ceratopsians on the way to us ( @Everything_Dinosaur)

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

The Pachyrhinosaurus is the one I want the most, can't wait to see the new version.

Bear in mind after the factory does their version it will be a down grade I'm sure.  Sadly the more complex the more i'm disappointed usually.

Update on baby ceratopsians:

More progress on the BotM baby Diabloceratops sculpt- these may be the smallest scales that I've sculpted yet!

[CityRaptor]

DAWWWW!

You know, if there is a fan vote for the colors of these babies, I expect Cera and the JP Baby Triceratops to be among the candidates.

[Psittacoraptor]

Fan's Choice Styracosaurus is planned to be released along side the wave 1 Tyrannosaurs in September. There'll be a clean and a bloody version:

Anyone know if the Old Buck Styracosaurus will be available from retailers, or exclusive to BoTM website?

I apologize for deviating from the more material discussion, but any tips on how to connect the tail to the body of the triceratops adult (which arrived this week and is gorgeous)?

Warm the tail where the socket goes in with a hairdryer until it becomes softer, you can squeeze it with your fingers. put a little water on the ball end to lubricate it and then it should pop on. There won't be an audible pop but it should feel tight.

Is putting water inside the joints okay? I would be worried about mold getting in there. I've always been fine with using just a hair dryer.
