Nah, I was just going through my inbox and decided to get it done and dusted. It would still help if you have someone to proof read them as they take a while to edit. Compare your original submission with the published one and you'll see what I've changed, so you can avoid the same errors in the future. One small recurring issue that is easy to fix: learn the difference between "there" and "their."

And "they're".

Nice review. From what I've seen from Geoworld, I actually quite like them, even with all the cartoonishness and lies. The more recent theropods are pretty good, and I've got the Troodon and Caudipteryx which I'm really impressed with. Granted the Troodon's not the most accurate, but it's very charming in my opinion. I've got the Geoworld Velo as well as a few other drommies saved on my Ebay watch list and feel a bit more inspired to go through with the purchases now (well, when I have a bit more financial security).

The Geo World raptor was also part of the DinoDan series. where it was painted green.
I personally think its a well made raptor and would look great with some custom paint jobs.

Ah yes, I forgot about that version. though according to the Catalogue, all of the Dino Dan Dino Sets are now retired

Indeed I am. There'll have to be another review before too long. I hope this one was OK, I'm a little out of practice...

Looked good to me, pretty much hit all the points we've discussed I think.

Finally! 
Great review as always,Horridus

Glad you guys liked it. It doesn't seem that many people agree with the generally positive verdict, though, given the rating...come on people, it's not that bad! A little bland maybe, but not ugly. It deserves to do better than that Geoworld Velociraptor...

Agreed.

I liked the review even if I'm not fond of the model. It's mostly the paint application for me and I'm not one of those people who could skillfully repaint it or want to pay someone to do it. The head sculpt looks fantastic though.

I was sitting on the fence for a while with the 2014 Tyrannosaurus. After seeing the photos of what the model actually looks like in real life, as opposed to just stock photos, it took me about a nanosecond to decide I didn't want it. Just like last year's Concavenator, another figure spoiled by sloppy paintwork

Yes,but the new Tyrannosaurus is a great sculpt,unlike the Concavenator.

Honestly, I'm starting to think that my photos don't do it justice. It's a little 'vanilla' (and has some paint issues), but is the perfect antidote to every Yet Another JP T. rex figure out there. I mean, it even has appropriately small arms. That face the right way.

On the other hand, as you're a Brit like me, you might be better off getting the featherless T. rex from Favorite (by Araki), available from Dinosaur Time, instead (if you don't have it already).
