It looks like a majungasaurus, I am 100% convinced that it is an abelisaurid.

it is indeed the majungasaurus :).

avatar_DinoToyCollector @DinoToyCollector quick question:
Sorry if you've already answered this in the thread, but what's your process in creating these figures from start to finish?
From what I've gathered, it sounds like it more or less goes from 3D modeling in the computer, to 3D printed prototypes, and then a prototype is refined & cast, and the final products are produced in traditional molds.
I'm not entirely sure if that last step is part of the process, so I'm curious to know if I've got it right.

For the Protoceratops, it was basically the way you write it.
1. 3D model
2. Wax model
3. Classic mold
4. Injection molding
5. Painting
Of course there were a few more steps to be done, such as revising the figure, adapting to the injection mold, converting from 3D print to mold etc.
The process has now simplified, however, according to the figure, we have many different manufacturing options.

avatar_DinoToyCollector @DinoToyCollector When will you market more Wild Past figures? I am interested in them, especially if they can be traded on eBay. I am very happy with your protoceratops, he is a beautiful figure that makes a good match with his Collecta counterpart, he seems the father and mother and the baby.

Thank you for your help! I'll be posting a review of this figure at https://dinodadreviews.com/ tomorrow, so I just wanted to make sure I had my facts straight. Hope you like it!  ;)

Not that my review will have much new to say for the forum members here, but here's my review of the Protoceratops if anybody's interested! I'm just hoping to spread the word around a little more.

And a pic of various mini raptors that I think go well with it:

Very good review Stuckasaurus and nice website you have there. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure if people know that Stefan has also made the latest issue of Prehistoric Times? There are two positive reviews by the editor, Mike Fredericks and by Randy Knol (Forum member DC) in his regular Dinosaur Collector News column. Well done Stefan  :)

:)) Thank you very much. It's really an honor to appear in the latest issue and it was really good to have had the chance to meet Randy Knol at the Toy Fair in Nuremberg.

I'm not sure if this belongs to the Wild Past 2020 Thread that's why I'am posting this here:

I'm presenting to you the "Raptor Dance"

As an addition to our main series, we would now like to offer models through Shapeways that are not easily realized as PVC figures. We start with a Velociraptor couple, which, for once, has no intention of eating.

https://www.shapeways.com/product/VZQKRFZJA/raptor-dance-1-35-velociraptor?optionId=168031636&li=marketplace





These models will not replace the main series and are certainly only of interest to a certain group of collectors. It gives us the opportunity to give our creativity a little more leeway, while there are somewhat longer waiting times.
Are you interested in more models at Shapeways? Then tell us by next Sunday which animal we should take on next! Just write it in the comments on Instagram and Facebook and the figure with the most likes will be done.
There are only a few rules:
1. Please only post if you would seriously order a model from Shapeways.
2. Post prehistoric animals that can be made on a scale of 1:35 (approx. 2-10 meters in length).
3. A different scale is also possible for animals of this size but will always second or if the demand is high enough.
4. The winning species will be announced next Sunday. From this point on it will take at least 6 weeks to be finished.
5. Have fun!

"Raptor Dance" is certainly an unusual
pose!

I get a page doesn't exist message when I follow your link.

Sim

Those are some lovely Velociraptor!  I would have liked them to be offered in the main series though and in more neutral poses.  It's good to hear from you again!

Lanthanotus

Woah, great model, there. The link does not work properly, I searched the model and found it via overview, but could not access the model page. However, price is great and I will order it.

As for the other model, I have no FB or Instagramm, so I post it here... would love to see some unusual Permian synapsid, like Cotylorhynchus.


Stegotyranno420

Rajasaurus or Erythosuchus or Fasolasuchus

PlesiosaurusNessy

I am interested in the raptor pair, too!

My suggestion is Moschops, Placerias, Estemennosuchus,Plesiosaurus, Tullymonstrum, Trilobit !

I figured it out: My Shop is not activated yet  ::) I totally forgot doing this for months now. I'll let you know once it is active.

edit: It was done and is active today.

Halichoeres

Thanks for giving us this opportunity for input! Realistically, I would probably only buy a Shapeways model if it were a fish I don't already have in my collection in some form. Given the 1:35 constraint, some large-ish animals that would fit the bill include Titanichthys, Onychodus, Rhizodus, or Ptychodus. I would buy any or all of those in a heartbeat if they were available on Shapeways. (I'm certainly aware that this probably differs from the tastes of most collectors.)

I have commissioned "Raptor Dance" is a figure that I sincerely liked from the first moment. It is a very beautiful figure and I could not resist buying it. My congratulations avatar_DinoToyCollector @DinoToyCollector  for your paleoart works I am a follower of your brand.

On the other hand, when will your scutosaurus be available? It's the figure I've always wanted of that rare prehistoric parareptile sauropsids from the Permian.
