Then he is going by the Torosaurus=Triceratops idea after all.

No he's not.

Flaffy,stop trying to "correct" me.What is your age anyway?19?20 maybe?I've been knowledgeable about the general subject of dinosaurs for longer than you have even been alive.

Yes, you are very smart. We are graced by the miracle that is your intelligence, though even then it is important to remember: He's not.


"Adult" Triceratops and Torosaurus were always two separate figures.

I'm smart enough to know that I could have you banned for the personal attack against me,which would in effect silence you while I would be free to say whatever I wanted to,if I cared enough about what you think of me to do so.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Both John and Appalachiosaurus  , your comments are personal attacks, you have been warned.

I'm not correcting your paleontological knowledge though.
What I'm correcting is you spreading potential misinformation regarding David's position on the "toro-ceratops" theory; which he clearly is in rejection of from his decision refer to Torosaurus as it's own genus rather than "Adult/Mature Triceratops".

[John]

I'm sorry for my rudeness,Flaffy.This is not an excuse,but I just misunderstood what you meant.

[suspsy]

Moving on.

David Silva informed me last night that the subadult Triceratops will be around the same size as the Styracosaurus he's currently working on. This lends to my theory that he's basically giving us the option of two sizes/prices of Triceratops. I think that's pretty nifty!

Of course, we'll have to see what the final products are like. 

[suspsy]

And here is some very happy news from CB's Facebook:

Planning to do horridus for both, but would like to do a prorsus release sometime post-Kickstarter.

[Killekor]

Wow, Mr.Silva it's making some really nice models, although I don't know if I'll get one.
I'm quite dubious about this line for several reasons: first of, their size. I really like big figures, but from what I understand some of these will be GIGANTIC. Maybe David should had made them in a smaller scale. Plus, they're price probably will be too high for me (except for the Protoceratops and the Psittacosaurus, which being about the same size as the raptors will be affordable for me).

I'm not really interested in ceratopsians themselves, so probably I'll pass on all this (apart from the Psittacosaurus); but I hope that the Tyrannosaurs will not be at the same scale of the Triceratops, because I don't have enough place for have such big figures.

Just a question, will the Psittacosaurus have a base? I understand that the other ceratopsians don't need a base, but the Psittacosaurus is bipedal...

A picture from Facebook today comparing the size of his Styracosaurus to Papo's! I can't wait to see this beauty painted
*Edit* fixed the link so the picture shows up properly

[Shonisaurus]

That styracosaurus is immense! I figure that the triceratops and torosaurus for putting two examples will be at least the size of the PNSO chungkingosaurus at least or the huanghetitan. Those are impossible prices for my economy. I'll be happy to see them on the Beasts of the Mesozoic website. It's too much for my pocket. I think that at the most I will buy your protoceratops and ceraptosides of a similar size.

Anyway, I will congratulate the members of the forum who buy these figures. They are magnificent. Ceraptoside awesome.

Now we know how big the juvenile Triceratops will be too!

[Brontozaurus]

I'm not really interested in ceratopsians themselves, so probably I'll pass on all this (apart from the Psittacosaurus); but I hope that the Tyrannosaurs will not be at the same scale of the Triceratops, because I don't have enough place for have such big figures.

As much as an in-scale Tyrannosaurus would go very well with the Triceratops, yeah I think it would have too many problems to be feasible. I imagine that the costs of manufacturing and shipping such a large figure, especially in the quantities that will likely be ordered, would be astronomical for Silva, being an independent creator.

[suspsy]

My guess is that Silva has not yet determined what scale his T. rex will be, and will not get around to deciding that until his ceratopsian project is well in the bag. So I wouldn't lose any sleep over it right now.

The Utahceratops concept art has been revealed on Facebook. Looks very cool with Gila monster colours!

[Shonisaurus]

The dinosaur projects of Beasts of the Mesozoic are very beautiful. Perhaps with the passage of time I will start making that collection are very nice figures, but in my case something makes me say that I must stop buying dinosaurs and models of prehistoric toy animals. I have to save in my case for a long time. The ones you might collect will be protoceratops and zuniceratops. They are figures that seem to be not too large in size. It is appreciated that Beasts of the Mesozoic focuses every year on a species of concrete dinosaur and make only figures of this type of species, last year were raptors, this year the ceraptosidos. I applaud Beasts of the Mesozoic and sincerely I will be glad that some forum members do the entire collection. They are very beautiful figures. The utahceratops with those details of painting in that drawing of the website of Creative Studios is very cool and beautiful.

[LeapingLaelaps]

New colors, this time for the Utahceratops based on the Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum). I love the colors but personally I think they would have been better on the Diabloceratops

Also, just five more color concepts before we know what everything look like:

Pentaceratops
Sinoceratops
Torosaurus
Triceratops (Adult)
Udanoceratops

Which ones are you guys most excited to see? I really wanna see the Pentaceratops and Torosaurus!

[Brontozaurus]

Excluding Triceratops on account of being my favourite dinosaur and of course I'm keen to see it revealed, probably Torosaurus to see what Silva's got planned for that massive frill. As much as eyespots on ceratopsians has become a minor palaeoart meme thanks to the WWD Torosaurus, I don't think he's really used it so far, and I'm interested in whether Torosaurus gets them or not.

[Faelrin]

Yeah that color scheme would have looked rad on the Diabloceratops, but I still dig the one it got though. It's going to be hard for me to decide in the end what I want when I'm loving so many of these just for their color schemes.
