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

[Flaffy]

There goes my wallet... Vastly superior colour scheme when compared to the original. It's easily one of the most striking paintjobs I've seen on a dinosaur figure.

Pre-orders appear to be up on the Creative Beast Studio website, for the fan's choice ceratopsians, as well as the baby Diabloceratops, and 1/18th raptors, Protoceratops, and Psittacosaurus. https://creative-beast.com/product-category/pre-orders/

Should be noted, the only fans choice so far is the Medusaceratops. Others come later.

Excited for the Medusaceratops and those adorable baby diabloceratops figures but I'm not sure how I feel about the small 1/18th scale figures.
Whereas it'd be cool to have those species in scale with the rest of the line, I'm a bit wary of how well the articulation would work on something that small. Plus, the price point is a bit high imo. Might start with a couple and go from there. Also, anyone know anything about the Diabloceratops "reiusse"?

[Psittacoraptor]

The Fans' Choice Medusaceratops is a must buy!

I hope there's a 1/6 version of the green Protoceratops in the works. I'd like to display my Velociraptor with a Protoceratops, but the original "raw bacon" colour scheme doesn't appeal to me at all.

[Concavenator]

Also, anyone know anything about the Diabloceratops "reiusse"?

I do. It's not a reissue, it's just that it's been out of stock since at least Christmas, and now it's expected to be in stock again in the summer. I know this because I ordered one Diabloceratops for Christmas from Dan's Dinosaurs and Dan told me it wasn't in stock. I asked David himself afterwards and he confirmed that it wasn't in stock at the moment.

That's why, from Christmas at least (don't know if it's been out of stock for longer), orders for this figure have been working as preorders for when it becomes available again.

[Flaffy]

The price point for the 1/18 raptors is indeed a bit steep for something that small. Especially when their 1/18 ceratopsian wavemates are noticeably larger figures.
And I've said this before, I'm not sure how well the articulation on the raptors would work on such a small scale. I guess only time well tell when these little guys are actually released.

When are these expected to be in stock at @Everything_Dinosaur ? Shipping costs from the US to the UK are extortionate.

He just can't help but outdo himself. Makes me wonder how many repaints of the Tyrannosaur series I'll have to buy thanks to the fan choice repaints

New look at the retro-style packaging for 'Steelhorn'.

I've finally got fed up shopping with Dan's Dinosaurs for this very reason. I'll order something from them and pay for it, only to have them email me later saying that they don't actually have any stock, and "Oh by the way there's a fee for refunds". If you don't have something in stock, don't let customers buy it. I mean, that's kind of common sense, no?

I've also heard from another sculptor that Dan had one of his pieces listed for sale, but did not actually have one in stock. Dan reaches out to the sculptor to have one made when he gets an order. And if the molds have gone bad, well... 🤷🏻‍♂️. Dan had his priced below what the sculptor had too, so one would naturally go for his. Tread cautiously on that site.

Yeah. Lesson learned. I'd always rather go direct to the source anyway. It's kind of odd that Dan seems to have set himself up as a 'Middle Man' for so many collectibles and figures. With everyone being so connected these days, it's not really a role that's needed anymore.

I'm completely in for this one. I've avoided most of the ceratopsians because of the color schemes, so this is fantastic.

Definitely my most anticipated Fan's Choice. I too eagerly await the painted prototype.

I stopped ordering from Dan for a similar reason. I was ordering figures from Chinese companies through him, thinking I would get them shipped domestically and reduce the amount of air cargo crossing the Pacific. But he just has them shipped directly from China to his customers, so there wasn't any point.

That's a really good-looking repaint. Rather tempting.
