Thanks for keeping stuff up to date, @Faelrin!

[Faelrin]

@Concavenator I can add that one when I do some of the others later (including the new Haolonggood Maiasaura, more new Mattel, etc). Do they have any pics of it against a white background, or would anyone be so kind as to take one if they plan to get this model painted up?

[Concavenator]

@Faelrin Thank you, I posted more pics here.

And here is the brand logo.

More info: sculptor of the Carnotaurus is Raul Ramos and advertised scale is 1:33.

Edit: The figure belongs in a line called "Sanctum Figure Line 1:33". It's nicknamed "Andrés" and it's numbered as "SPC. 001". This is the source publication.

Edit 2: Could a picture be added to Qualia's Fukuivenator?

The Kaiyodo Dinotales Quetzalcoatlus in the following link is the CapsuleQ version: https://dinotoycollector.com/Items/product.php?product_id=1891

The Dinotales figure it refers to is this one: https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.wiki/wiki/Kaiyodo_Dinotales-6_Quetzalcoatlus_Pink

Doing some updates today. Got a lot to get up that I've been behind on. Gonna try to fix and correct things as well (where possible for me). At the moment got the new Haolonggood Maiasaura, and Gastonia up, as well as some of the new Schleich figures and sets. Next up I'll probably do Kaiyodo, Paleozoo, Sanctum, Meng, and whatever else from there.

@Concavenator Is that for the one released last year? I wasn't able to find any official product images of it. If you or anyone else has those figures I'll be grateful for pics sent my way so they can be added.

[Concavenator]

@Faelrin Thank you for the updates!

Yes, I meant that Fukuivenator. I haven't found any official stock images, either. And I don't have it, but @Halichoeres and L @Leyster do, perhaps they would be willing to provide you with a pic of it?

[Faelrin]

@Sim So I looked into that. I think that's something @DinoToyCollector is going to need to fix. Those images need to be moved on to QuetzalcoatlusCQ instead of where they are now. In other words the CapsuleQ Quetzalcoatlus already has an entry, which is where those images belong, not the Dinotales one.

@Concavenator Hope they can, along with any others from that year's series.

[Faelrin]

Little change of plans. Got the TNG stuff updated, and went down quite a rabbit hole for some of those figures with missing images, and added a few new figures (such as the Therizinosaurus). Other stuff will have to wait until tomorrow I guess. So overall today I got the Haolonggood Maiasaura and Gastonia up, a couple new Schleich, some Kaiyodo figures (not the new Patagotitan sets, waiting for them to show up on Kaiyodo's website for more info), and as mentioned some TNG.

I'll try to do whatever else I planned to do today tomorrow, since it is obviously getting late.

The Dinotales figure it refers to is this one: https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.wiki/wiki/Kaiyodo_Dinotales-6_Quetzalcoatlus_Pink

@Sim So we have the same figure for both entries and I have to get rid of the picture which is shown in the Dinotales series? Then it is fixed now.



Also, I am still doing updates on the new site. It'll be possible to have multiple wish quantity and you can now simultaneously own and wish items, what wasn't a thing before.

[Sim]

Yes, it's fixed now!

[Faelrin]

Minor update on the CollectA figures. Added the codes, and some new images. Added the Papo Suchomimus image. Now on to adding Meng's new sauropod, Paleozoo, Sanctum Carnotaurus, and whatever else from there.

[Faelrin]

@Concavenator Well I did a little bit of an edit of one of the images you provided me so far. Does this look a little better? I thought adding a shadow in a similar shape as on the original image would help add a little distance or something with the white background. Make it less jarring or more natural? I don't know how to describe my thoughts well here. Should the opacity of the shadow be reduced further (so lighter), or feathered down some (so smaller), or would folks find this acceptable enough?

Wanted to do the Carnotaurus tonight as well, but my laptop is having problems charging now (the cord), so I had to take quite the break in between the edit to get it to charge up enough to resume on it. I ran the image through a pixelization/jpg compression remover as well set the white to be transparent, and did a little light feather to clean up the outline of the figure a little further to remove any remaining jagged edges to help the shadow blend better. Unfortunately some of the original texture detail is lost as a result of using the pixelization/jpg compression remover. I don't think it is too much of a big deal though. I'm losing battery once again, and it is getting late again so I'll have to try getting these added tomorrow. I also got carried away with researching the Science and Nature figures, but have yet to update those just yet, so there goes today. But no rush right?



Edit: And mentioning the Science and Nature figures, I did at least get the two new Thylacine figures added for what it is worth.

[Concavenator]

@Faelrin Of course, no rush, and again thank you for your work on the site. 

I'd say your edit looks good, I hadn't noticed companies use those shadows for their stock photos. But the result makes it look more like a stock photo indeed.

[Faelrin]

@DinoToyCollector Could this logo be added to Sanctum? I added it as a new company, and I'm in the process of adding their figures (including images). Speaking of which I got the Carnotaurus up, but I'm in the middle of adding a few more details to it (sculptor, etc), but I got to go to the bathroom first, and wanted to add what I had done for it to save it just in case.

If you need a png version let me know. I took the image @Concavenator added a while back and modified it to fit within the 500x500 dimensions I saw some of the company logo images were in.



Edit: Okay both the Carnotaurus and Tlatolophus have been added now with as much info as possible, and for the latter, the finished pic as well (slightly revised the shadow to have less opacity and some feathering and looks a little better to my eyes). Now to work on the Carnotaurus image, which hopefully won't take too long. Then I can resume on the other stuff I'm behind on adding, updating, etc.

Edit 2: Carnotaurus image is up now.

[Concavenator]

@Faelrin Thank you! Speaking of Sanctum, I remembered about the unpainted versions of Carnotaurus and Tlatolophus and figured I'd create stock images for both as well, which would probably be a better option to add to the collection/wishlist for those people who are interested in copies with alternative color schemes:





Again, feel free to add those shadows or edit the pics at your will.

[Faelrin]

@Concavenator Thanks for the help with that again. Should their T. rex be added as well? I noticed they have a model of that, but I don't when that is releasing (either unpainted, or painted). Edit: Have their Giraffatitan or Yinlong released yet either?

I'm gonna focus on getting the Science and Nature stuff updated (is in dire need of it), and then maybe eat dinner after, and then get those versions up. I mean it makes sense to have them both separate, as the Dino Zoo has both the unpainted and painted Stegouros up.

Maybe after these I'll get the Meng sauropod up, and finally Paleozoo and whatever else. As long as my charger can comply too. I literally had to tape the cord to the back of my laptop's screen/top in a particular way to get it to charge lol. Hopefully can buy a new cord when I get paid next.

Edit: Well I got all the Science And Nature stuff finished. That took so long between today and yesterday. I also added @Halichoeres image for the Qualia Fukuivenator with his permission. I'll try to get those other Sanctum figures added tomorrow, and whatever from there.

[DinoToyCollector]

I've added the Picture for Sanctum
And @Faelrin , please don't be surprised if there are updates on other items, as I test the functionality of the site. Of course I am using real data and in the end it is a win-win for the webstite and the database.

[Concavenator]

@Faelrin They told me the Giraffatitan is planned, but it's not currently available. I have asked @The Darknix about the Tyrannosaurus and the Yinlong. I'll get back when he answers.

Edit: I asked @The Darknix and he said he's sick at the moment, so of course I don't feel like asking him for a pic of the unpainted Tyrannosaurus (the painted version is still not ready) as I did with the Carnotaurus and the Tlatolophus. And I've tried searching for pics of the unpainted Tyrannosaurus in order to see if I can create a stock photo for it, but there's not a single pic I've found in which the figure appears complete, so I'm afraid I can't offer such a stock pic, at least not for the moment. Like they recently posted a pic of it on their IG, but the figure appears held in a hand.

It seems the Yinlong is still not available. Same for the Giraffatitan. I asked them about those two earlier this month and they told me they are waiting to sell more figures before releasing the Giraffatitan, because it will be expensive to produce. Based on what he told me, I'd assume the Yinlong would come first. In any case, I wouldn't add the Yinlong nor the Brachiosaurus yet seeing as they're still not available.

[Faelrin]

@DinoToyCollector Thanks for adding that, and for the heads up on those updates.

@Concavenator Thanks for the info pertaining to that. I'll hold off until those are available I suppose, or closer to that. In any case, I got the Tlatolophus unpainted pic ready to go. Gonna do the Carnotaurus next, and then get those versions up and revise the info in the ones on there already.
