I figured it for the photos of the Collecta 2019 catalog. Thanks for the information Renecito!

I'm glad to help you.

Saludos!.

That Baryonyx seems a tad big for 1:40 scale.

Great Carno picture. It definitely looks as if they made it to be the Carnegie's partner.

Ikr! The Carnegie Carnotaurus is an amazing piece, one of my all time favorite figures, but I think this new upcoming CollectA version might even be better than Carnegie's effort.

BTW, ED posted a pic of the new Baryonyx on their Instagram:

Nice baryonyx is perhaps among the three theropods of this year the best of Collecta followed by the carnotaurus and fukuiraptor.

It reminds me of the baryonyx to an unpainted illustration of Zhao Chuang, it is the first illustration of the book pnso them: age of dinosaurs book. Unfortunately I do not have a photographic machine but the similarity of the photo of the prototype with the illustration of Zhao Chuang of a baryonyx (I presume) is amazing.

Thanks for the link Concavenator.

That Baryonyx seems a tad big for 1:40 scale.

I calculated the scale back when the stock image of it was released (based on measurements from ED), and while it's slightly above 1:40 (it's 1:38), it is closer to 1:40 than a good chunk of CollectA's Deluxe '1:40' figures.

The CollectA Baryonyx is bulky like the Papo version but has the colors of the Favorite.

[Minmiminime]

I like the Baryonyx a lot and will definitely get it, but again, the jaw mechanism looks retro-fitted and distracting. At least they haven't ruined the teeth this time

[Shonisaurus]

Honestly I like in my case more the tight jaws of the Collecta dinosaurs like the feathered tyrannosaurus and ceratosaurus of Collecta 2018 to the articulated and unadjusted mandible of Colmuta's stemmenosuchus. That said I would be interested that at least the jaw of Collecta's 2019 baryonyx be adjusted. I'm not a fan as you know about the articulated jaws but I do not care about the articulated jaws as long as they can be adjusted and do not give in as many toy dinosaur brands do for example theropods and other prehistoric animals (the vast majority fabulous) with articulated jaws that force one because they yield to having these figures with their mouths closed.

My Caiuajara Just arrived and WOW THIS THING IS JUST BEAUTIFUL! Neither CollectA's stock photo nor my own photos can capture all the pretty colors and details of it!

The whole head is covered in wrinkles and few tiny bumps which weren't very visable on stock image. Also, they actually filled the throat seam with white paint, so it's almost not visable at all(unlike this years Baryonyx)
One thing to note: the fake 'eye' is VERY glossy (glossier than actual eye!) , unlike the rest of the crest's patterns. It looks almost like a very thin foil sticker, so it doesn't feel as natural as rest of paintjob. Also, the fingers on the raised wing seem to be longer and thicker than ones on second wing. It's the only thing I dislike about this figure. Other than that, it's Just Perfect!

Compared to CollectA Dimorphodon. I still need to get Guidraco!

[suspsy]

Lovely! Where did you get it?

[Neosodon]

I'm suprised sitting pterosaurs seem to be more popular now. Usually they don't look as impressive that way but with collecta I'd say otherwise.

It is a very nice figure, the caiuajara of Collecta, by the way it is bigger than I thought. It is like a mixture of pterosaur and tropical bird (I say this because of the colors of the crest). It is sincerely an example in which it is observed that the scientific accuracy and the detail in a toy figure of dinosaur and in this case of prehistoric animal is not at odds. Magnificent figure of pterosauri, makes a magnificent set with the dimorphodon and also with the guidraco of Collecta.

I never imagined twenty or thirty years ago that pterosaurs as large and detailed as those of Collecta would be made.

[PhilSauria]

Awesome looking figure! - I'll be placing my order locally as soon as Mini Zoo have it in stock here. Thanks for posing it with one of the other big CollectA Pterosaurs - gives a good idea in regard to its size. Thanks for the images.

[ITdactyl]

Thanks for sharing the pics @DragonRider02 .

It is a very nice sculpt.  I've said it's too big for my collection, but the more I see it the more I want it.

CollectA's penchant for flat greyish wings on their pterosaurs is a bit disappointing though.  The "eye" warpaint and the blue throat also seem to clash with the sculpt - a naturally beautiful model with too much makeup comes to mind.  At least it got my creative juices flowing.  'Thinking of ways to make the crest and throat look more natural....

[Minmiminime]

Ooh, it looks so alive! These pictures really show off the detailing. Thanks, @DragonRider02 , and congratulations

[Flaffy]

Does it have an articulated mouth?

[Shonisaurus]

Thank you @DragonRider02  for sharing these beautiful photographs.

@Flaffy The caiuajara of Collecta 2019 has an articulated mouth. If you look at the catalog it indicates it. Its mouth is articulated like the dimorphodon and guidraco of the same brand.

[ceratopsian]

Well that settles it!  The Caiuajara joins my "must have" list.  It's a very well executed model indeed.  Thank you for showing it off, @DragonRider02.
