Favorite - new for 2019

[SBell]

Where did they reveal these photos? Because of course I'm mainly interested in additions to the Ancient Fishes line!

And maybe some Ancient Prehistoric Fishes...that would be great too!

It was on their Facebook page. I'm trying to avoid FB because it's horrible and poisonous, but it does seem to be the most convenient way to get news about companies' new offerings. Haven't seen anything from the oh-so-misnamed Ancient Fishes line, but the gar and arowana were released quite recently.

I've already got that whole series! But always hopeful that they'll add more (bowfin, paddlefish and sturgeon seem like obvious additions).

Lovely new mosasaur! I don't read Japanese, so I'm not sure on the genus.

Kek... my FB translation says "samosas".

I really like this new figure.  To think the only marine reptiles in my collection are Kaiyodos.  This'd be the king of that shelf.

[Flaffy]

Lovely mosasaurus, shame about the spikes though. They feel out of place.

[Minmiminime]

Very nice pattern, very nice sculpt  I'll overlook the spikes though they are irksome. Definitely want this!!

[PhilSauria]

Great to see these images - definitely want this one, only hope that it is a general release and not another special / exclusive which tends to put these out of my reach.

[Jose S.M.]

That looks really good but the spikes look out of place, at least they are small so they don't draw that much attention. The coloration is great and I like the pose.

[Patrx]

Definitely in agreement with those saying the spikes are a little misplaced and distracting–I suspect we're still seeing the echoes of Knight's Tylosaurus, or more accurately, Williston's Platecarpus.

On the other hand, this piece does look nicely bulky compared to Araki's usual shrink-wrapped fare!

[Daspletodave]

Stunning! Another must have from Favorite!

[DragonRider02]

Very unusual colors for Marine reptile I love it! I hope it'll be affordable!

[postsaurischian]

    A must-have!

....... this piece does look nicely bulky compared to Araki's usual shrink-wrapped fare!

I guess it's Tokugawa, not Araki; as all other figures of the Prehistoric Life Softmodel series.

[Bokisaurus]

Beautiful figure, I like it despite the spines. Now lets pray its a general release and not another hard to find and afford exclusive 

[RobinGoodfellow]

Favorite has never used Facebook to promote an expo or exclusive figure. 
So that model will be sold on the Favorite' web-store for sure... 
Exclusive figures are commissioned to Favorite by a museum or an exposition so it doesn't make any sense to use Favorite' FB official page to promote someone else' products..

I guess it's Tokugawa, not Araki; as all other figures of the Prehistoric Life Softmodel series.

Maybe you're right! Overall, it just looks more like Araki's style to me.

[ITdactyl]

Something new from Facebook: Fukuivenator.  The text also says this (and the mosasaurus) is a Kazunari Araki project.

Cool! Also, my roommate, who does read Japanese, says the mosasaur is labeled Mosasaurus.

[Flaffy]

Nice Fukuivenator, but what's with japanese companies and their refusal to add primary feathers to troodontids and dromaeosaurs?

Nice Fukuivenator, but what's with japanese companies and their refusal to add primary feathers to troodontids and dromaeosaurs?

No idea, but it's really disappointing.

[Shonisaurus]

The favorite mosasaurus and fukuivenator are really nice a good gift for this year 2019 that begins. When will they be available for sale or when will Brett and Emiko market them?

The Favorite mosasaurus outperforms other figures of other brands and the fukuivenator is a rare figure in the toy market is a wonderful feathered dinosaur figure its conservative and muted colors make it more beautiful and elegant.

The Favorite mosasaurus is a very good figure and looks more detailed than other figures of prehistoric marine animals of the same brand. I hope they are Soft Model ie plastic or vinyl (I started to love this type of figure after buying the Diprotodon from Soutlands Replicas). I hope they are ready for sale soon.

Nice Fukuivenator, but what's with japanese companies and their refusal to add primary feathers to troodontids and dromaeosaurs?

No idea, but it's really disappointing.

It bothers me more with their actual dromaeosaurs, but Fukuivenator probably wasn't one, right? It looks like it was a more stemward maniraptoriform, so it could have had less winglike arms. Anyway, I'm glad to see my prediction that the gap in product numbers meant they were making a Fukuivenator was correct!

I guess with the Mosasaurus being an Araki sculpt, it will be part of the dinosaur line, rather than the prehistoric line, which is a shame. They gave the skull project to Tokugawa, but they should have given it to Araki and let Tokugawa expand the prehistoric line.
