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

More images of P. mogoliensis. With hands in the incorrect position, though I'm sure that they're just old pics that have been taken before the fix.
The jugals are a little conservative, but they're pronounced enough for me. Really liking this one, especially since it can stand without a base. I just wish it was a tad smaller.

Doesn't Mattel have it? I could have sworn I heard something about that a while ago.

IIRC Mattel bought Tyco, which would have given them the license. They've sometimes homaged Dino Riders in their Imaginext line, with more than a few dinosaurs in futuristic armour popping up. Obviously they've got enough dinosaurs on their plate with the Jurassic World license, but with the success of that I wouldn't be surprised if a Dino Riders revival pops up at some point.

If they own the property, I would bet they're at least exploring the possibility of producing or at least licensing out a movie or TV show or something. But maybe they don't want to compete with their JW line, which despite being more expensive for them to produce since they pay for that license, is more popular.

I thought I heard Mattel was in rough financial shape. Maybe they'll start selling off some of their unused brand holdings.

Currently they are using the name for a line of Hot Wheels, complete with a hommage logo:

Psittacosaurus looking good!

Nah, he fixed the fingers but not the palms.  Fortunately, someone already pointed out the error on Facebook and he said it'll be fixed in the painted version.

I must say I have been on the fence in regard to some of the colour schemes for these Ceratopsians (except for the Triceratops, that's a must-have for me) but this one...nah.

[Digibasherx]

Omg!  I'm going to be so poor, I'm liking everything and that's scary.

[RobinGoodfellow]

Proto

...oh noo... another clown suit.. .... I was interested in Protoceratops but those colors..



..noo...noo..noo...

[ZoPteryx]

Hmm, most of these paint apps have come out way better than I thought they would, but not this one.    It doesn't even look particularly like a Moloch.  Fingers crossed there'll be a fan's choice color scheme at some point.

[Ravonium]

Yeah, the colour scheme really doesn't have the charm that Moloch's colour scheme does

[Flaffy]

Not too keen on the colours and patterns either, but eh, never planned to pick up the Protoceratops anyways.

[Killekor]

Now I understand why Velociraptors hunted and eaten Protoceratops; it really looks like a big, tasty slice of bacon !
Honestly, I never liked it's color scheme since the concept art. It's a sad thing, because the sculpt is fabulous.

Fingers crossed there'll be a fan's choice color scheme at some point.

If I'm not wrong, Mr. Silva said that between the stretch goals there will be a "Velociraptor Vs Protoceratops" pack. I suppose that both figures should be repaints, right? In that case the number of Velociraptor paint schemes should arrive to 7  , but we could get a Protoceratops with an hopefully better color scheme.

Anyways, @LeapingLaelaps could you update the first post of the thread with the newest information about the campaign? Thanks in advance!

Yeah Mattel is to Tyco like Hasbro is/was to Kenner. Mattel just took the reins back on He-man thanks to the movie buzz. They seem to be in a romancing their back catalog kind of mood, so a Dino Riders spinoff after JW finally ends isn't completely out of the question.

[LeapingLaelaps]

Today's the day guys! I have a dentist appointment today (ugh) but if David opens the Kickstarter while I'm gone I'll update my post with all the information for it!

Get your wallets ready!

[Ravonium]

The Kickstarter is out now!

[LeapingLaelaps]

Oh! I guess I don't have to wait until my dentist appointment is over!

[Flaffy]

Oh my, they're quite pricey.

The zuniceratops is cheaper than expected at $25, I expected it to be at $30.

I didn't foresee the Monocloinus to be $50, for a small figure I was expecting $40, $45 tops. The higher price is probably cus it's a KS exclusive.

If even the Styracosaurus is at $60, how much are the behemoths like Sinoceratops, Triceratops and Torosaurus going to cost?

Mr. Silva mentioned somewhere that the adult Triceratops will cost 100$

Anyways, I absolutely agree with you: the price of most tiers is really high  .

At this point I'll surely get the Zuniceratops, maybe the Monoclonius and, if unlocked, the psittacosaurus. The others are certainly a pass for me (due to price reasons).

But I'm REALLY happy to know that there are not custom fees for Europe.

Honestly, considering the prices for the smallest offerings of this series are already so high, it's probably safe to assume the adult Triceratops will cost $150 at the very least.

[Faelrin]

These prices omg. I'll be lucky if I can afford two of these right now, in addition to the print, especially with the timing of the Mattel Brachiosaurus coming out here (hopefully) in October too, and the Amber Collection figures. Ugh.

In any case I pledged with the print, though if need be I'll sacrifice that for another figure.


Edit: Well I added on enough for all four figures in addition to the print. Worst case scenario I can drop it if need be.

[Renecito]

I am not really interested on this series specially because of the colours of most of them, but I am really excited about this:


That thing looks so accurate!!!
