You just need to publish Favorite on your website the mosasaurus of 2019 and its availability ... maybe for February? I hope it's like that.

Yeah, the quicker we get these beauties the better.

For those on the hunt, Fukuivenator was officially released yesterday.  Enjoy the Fukui goodness... oh... wait.

I'm happy Favorite made a Fukuivenator for the Japanese dinosaurs mini figure line.  Its absence from that line was conspicuous.  The species choice of the previous four mini figures didn't appeal to me while the Fukuivenator does.  This goes to show the benefit of making different kinds of animals - a greater variety can make it more likely that someone will find something they like!

I'm quite liking the Favorite Fukuivenator from what's been seen of it.  I wouldn't accept a lack of primary feathers and rectrices on a dromaeosaurid or troodontid, but like Halichoeres mentioned, Fukuivenator appears to be a more basal type of coelurosaur that might be closely related to Ornitholestes and ornithomimosaurs.  At that point in the evolution of coelurosaurs I think the feathering of this figure is plausible.

I'm guessing this figure's base is removable, based on how its feet look on it in photos, and how Favorite has been using removable bases for a long time now.  So, I'm planning to get the Favorite Fukuivenator!

[Halichoeres]

Glad to hear you're excited about a figure, Sim. I agree that greater variety is more likely to land on something someone likes.

[Shonisaurus]

I understand that the variety in the philosophy of the different companies when making dinosaurs as the removable base of Favorite's fukuivenator or the non-removable bases of Collecta give their own and unique personality to each company and enrich the market for the collection dinosaur. even of the toy dinosaur. Although both companies are intended more collectors for the excellent of their figures.

[Sim]

@Shonisaurus: The variety Halichoeres and I were referring to in our posts is variety in types of animals made.  If companies make a greater variety of animals it can increase how likely it is different people will find an animal they like.  In this case, the species of the previous 4 mini figures didn't interest me, while the Fukuivenator does interest me.  What I said about the base was a separate point, I was commenting on how I'm planning to get the Favorite Fukuivenator because it doesn't appear to be on a permanently attached base.

@Halichoeres: Thanks!  It's rare that I feel excited about a figure, a lot due to certain current tendencies among prehistoric animal figures.  Seeing a prehistoric animal I like as a figure I like is an experience I enjoy very much!

It sounds like Favorite is going to start offering painted-to-order versions of the big vinyl Tyrannosaurus:

"Paint your favorite color.

It is the only one figure for you to customize it to your liking and create an original color figure.

The figure lineup is 'Tyrannosaurus Vinyl Model Premium Edition Customized Color'.

'Let's find your own FAVORITE with the shape of your personality'

Completed figures are delivered with special gift specifications.
I will produce a special body packed with your thoughts.

Now I am keenly preparing.

It is scheduled to start late February 2019."

This year Favorite will launch also a vinyl Mosasaurus.

On August 2018 Favorite did a paint contest for japanese fans with the Favorite "Paint-A-Dinosaur" kit.
Favorite did a special edition set for the contest' winner.
The special edition set was "one-of-a-kind" and it was not for sale.
The red swimming Spinosaurus was in it:



..so, no, the red swimming Spinosaurus is not for sale..

No release date yet..

I already ordered Emiko and Brett. It's just a matter of announcing when they will arrive. I prefer to wait in my case.

In regard to that vinyl Mosasaurus - I'll definitely be tracking down one of these! Between it and the magnificent PNSO Mosasaur I really couldn't care less about the Mattel one now, the cause of so much frustration at the time of its release (and non-release over here!). Some of the Fave Co vinyls are not too bad, while others look like bath toys! I have the Triceratops and Plesiosaurus and am tempted by the Styracosaurus. Quite a high level of detail on this one given the medium.

Another one for the list - I say again; what a year!!

You could try with the JW Sega Mosasaurus from Japan.
It's a remarkable figure (at 30 cm/ 12" long).

Thanks for the suggestion Robin, but of the few listings I've seen of this (admittedly only on eBay) the asking price has not been much different to the Mattel Mosasaur. And I am becoming a bit concerned about an 'Import Tax' listing that has been cropping up on more and more US listings, combined with the already high shipping fees from that country it's getting to the point where I won't even bother looking further once I see that any item is listed by a seller in the US.

I'm not all that wealthy so I'd rather muster what funds I am able to throw into collecting toward something than I can afford instead of having to pay such huge portions of any purchase cost towards government taxes and shipping companies (or sellers putting up low prices and then getting their money through inflated shipping costs! - don't get me started!).

As I said thanks for offering a solution to my Mosasaur fix but I am becoming increasingly jaded with some aspects of online retail.
