Dino Mecard by Sonokong - new for 2019

[Halichoeres]

Some of these were mentioned in the "new for 2018" thread, but they were only from YouTube videos. These actually became available in January and February of 2019. It's already the most diverse 2019 lineup of any company. Some are not too bad, while a few are quite awful.

Most are two-packs with a moderately stylized version and a tiny, extremely cartoony version.


Acrocanthosaurus


Allosaurus


ammonite with bonus crustacean passenger


Anomalocaris



Archelon


Armadillosuchus


Carcharodontosaurus


Dimetrodon


Dimorphodon


Diplodocus


Dunkleosteus


Dracorex


Einiosaurus



Giganotosaurus


Hylaeosaurus


Mammuthus


Monolophosaurus


Mosasaurus


Nigersaurus


Ouranosaurus


Psittacosaurus


Quetzalcoatlus, although it doesn't remotely resemble a Quetzalcoatlus


Saltasaurus


Sauropelta


Shastasaurus


Therizinosaurus


Tsintaosaurus


Tupandactylus

Then there are these little characters who are from the Dino Mecard movie that came out a few months ago in Korea.


Koreasaltipes, with a little car that he can fold up into


Kai with a little car that he can fold up into. I am not sure what Kai is supposed to be, but I speculated in my collection thread that he might be the 'frogamander' Gerobatrachus.


Kai with a swamp thing doppelgänger?

[Toasaurus]

Does anyone know where i can pick these up? Cause i doubt they sell these in canada lol

[stargatedalek]

That red-eyed treefrog mirelurk is pretty cool.

These are a significant improvement over their predecessors, and some impressive species choices too.

[Killekor]

Some of these models look really great, such as the Psittacosaurus, which is really cool!
I sincerely hope that one they an European toy store will sell those, so that I can get the Psittacosaurus.

They're showing up slowly on eBay and Amazon, but I would wait until several sellers are offering them, as the initial offers are very overpriced. I got mine through a drop-shipping service.

ive only seen the mini ones idk if the bigger ones are you cause i really like that armordillosuchus

[stargatedalek]

I wasn't a fan of the older robotic looking ones, but I quite like these ones. Even the chibi/baby versions are much nicer when they're more organic looking, I could definitely use them for Dinosaur King customs, as the official lines had very few of the chibi designs and these would make decent stand-ins.

Cause i dont see the two packs yes only those egg minis cause i feel they are not out yes ive checked amazon and ebay nothing

[Roselaar]

Very interesting! Some of these are quite good, others... nope.

Has Shastasaurus been done before? Tupandactylus can be scrapped from the USL now.

[Brontozaurus]

Honestly I'd buy those ankylosaurs on sight if I could. And is that Tsintaosaurus the first toy to be made with the current understanding of its head crest?

[Halichoeres]

They're brand new even in Korea. They'll show up on the secondary market before long, I'm sure.

Shastasaurus has only been done previously by Sonokong, as far as I'm aware. These constitute the second and third molds, although they're all from the same line.

And is that Tsintaosaurus the first toy to be made with the current understanding of its head crest?

I think it is, yes. I'm only aware of resin figures that have updated the crest.

[Silvanusaurus]

This pleases me. I may have to keep a look out, but I imagine there isn't much hope of them appearing in the UK.

[Halichoeres]

A new twist on some of these: action figures with gimmicks like tail swinging and wing flapping. They're different from previous versions in being articulated at multiple joints, instead of just at the jaw, and in that they do not come with little "tinysaur" homunculi.


Allosaurus


Ankylosaurus


Carnotaurus


Pachycephalosaurus


Parasaurolophus with...a crocodile jaw?


Quetzalcoatlus, believe it or not.

[stargatedalek]

I feel like they based the mini on the real deal and then had the artist extrapolate an adult Quetz based on it...

[GojiraGuy1954]

They remind me of the anime Dinosaur King.

[Halichoeres]

They remind me of the anime Dinosaur King.

Yeah, it's a lot like that. I like it better than Dinosaur King because it includes more non-dinosaurs.

[sauroid]

are they also the size of the big dino king figures? and hollow too?

[Halichoeres]

Sorry for thr late reply, I've been traveling. They are smaller, more like Safari size, and they seem to be solid. There are a few comparison photos in my collection thread.
