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

[LeapingLaelaps]

In his post he said that additional species will follow later without crowdfunding, so hopefully that means other species we're looking forward to will be made eventually!

I'll admit it: I have not purchased any products nor donated to Creative Beast Studios in the past, but I think I'm going to start. May go with Torosaurus, although naturally I'll hold out for images of the final product before I click any buy button.

Also, the more I think about it, the more the prospect of a tyrannosaur series scares me from a financial perspective. T. rex is a shoe-in naturally, but it'll be damned tempting to pick up the rest of the family, even if I have no space to display all of them!

I'm surprised Protoceratops didn't make it on to the list, given that it would make and excellent transition piece from the 'raptors, but I'm not surprised he's had to scale it back somewhat..! It was a massively ambitious project. I would definitely have preferred the smaller, less derived ceratopsians too, but as long as I get that Pachyrhinosaurus I'm happy!

I put it in a polite request on FB to make a Triceratops prorsus as opposed to yet another T. horridus.

[Faelrin]

I do love T. horridus, but T. prorsus really deserves a chance in the spotlight at this point in regards to figures being made. In other words I agree with this. In an ideal situation both would be cool to have though.

so which will be the first 3 offered when the Kickstarter campaign begins? I really hope one is the pachyrhino. Its gorgeous and its the one I want most so far. Id also like either protoceratops to go with my velociraptor or a psittacosaurus for my microraptor.

[Minmiminime]

P @SuperiorSpider wahey, how did I miss that?! 😁 That's great, count me extra happy!

I do feel it's a nice idea for him to do juveniles of some species for diorama building and playability, particularly if they have a greater degree of articulation than the 'raptor nestlings, but equally it would be nice to see more obscure species represented 🤔

A little bit of a bummer that most of the non-ceratopsids will be pushed back, especially since Kickstarter prices are lower than the post-Kickstarter prices. I'll definitely pledge less as a result, but I'll probably still shell out for a Cerasinops if it's released later on.

You say that, but I was able to get a raptor post kickstarter from Minizoo (other side of the world) for under $50 after shipping, from the Kickstarter would have cost me $75 + whatever shipping was going to be. The Kickstarter was really only a good value for Americans.

OK, sure, outside the US the Kickstarter isn't of particular benefit, but I paid less than $40 for everything I got, even after accounting for shipping costs. I believe the average per piece was closer to $35 than $40, in fact.

New color concept posted today, this time for the Nasutoceratops! Colors are based on the Baja California Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus vestigium)

[FlawedCoil82]

This line scares me.  The figures are so beautiful that I am certain they will command a hefty price tag that I won't be able to afford.  I also am unfamiliar with the Kickstarter thing as I have never used it before. Do you have to pledge over a certain amount in order to have access to the Monoclonius I read about? And what is the difference typically in price if you get them on Kickstarter versus what they cost off that site? Does Kickstarter just guarantee you one but still costs roughly the same regardless of if you pledge or not?

Which one did you get?

Fair enough, the Kickstarter was definitely a great deal in the US and I recommend anyone in the US purchase through them if they have the opportunity.

Which one did you get?

I got the roadrunner Saurornitholestes. I felt the ground bird colouration was the most realistic of the options.

Only $40? Was it on sale? I'm thinking of getting it and it's presently $56.

Of the two figures of Beasts of the Mesozoic in which I am most interested is especially in the zuniceratops and the xenoceratops I find the figures of ceratopsids more obscure and exotic.

It was more about only costing $14 CAD to ship as opposed to the Kickstarter wanting $25 USD as an added fee for all international shipping.

Checked my order and it seems I was mistaken, it was exactly $51 and $14 shipping (CAD). No sale, so perhaps the exchange rate has changed.

First look at the painted Einiosaurus prototype!

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

It's so disappointing that most of the non-Ceratopsid Ceratopsians seem to have been removed as that was my main interest (and for other people too I assume). The Udanoceratops is still pleasing, but I'd love a Leptoceratops too.
The Einiosaurus looks great from this angle though.
