Dino Hazard: Hidden Reality Line

[Ikessauro]

I hadn't been paying attention to this project for a while, so I didn't even know the Carcharadontosaurus got funded.

Any info on how the Irritator will be sold? Hopefully, if it is a Kickstarter, it will be international this time.

Both Carcharo and Irritator were funded in the first crowdfunding in Brazil, so the factory molds for them will be ready for production when it's time for international sales.

That's good then. Really goes to show how out of the loop I was on this project. Do you know if the prices are going to be similar to the ones from the original post in this thread. Because $30 seems so cheap for a figure this size.

Right now I can't say for sure anything about the prices, because the campaign was designed during early 2019 and since then Brazil has gone from pretty bad to even worse economy, not even counting the pandemic issues we are having and the economic impact that will follow.
I really can't predict what will be the effect on the production costs, but if I find out i'll let you know. Maybe the sculptor, Hugo Cafasso, will be able to hint at the price tag for international sales.

Thanks @Ikessauro , hopefully I'm not asking too many questions. I'll definitely be following this more closely now.

I agree with everyone saying that the "filament cape" isn't really well executed, in addition to making it look half-done it also isn't particularly plausible from a physiological standpoint. Also, where's its neck??

Thanks for the update S @Smilodon P. 

Wow the new irritator is definitely an upgrade from the previous one. This line is really shaping up to be something special.

How accurate is the Dino Hazard Carcharadontosaurus? The neck seems very short, too short in fact.

I was talking to people who know much more paleontology than I do about this figure, they said the same thing. And I completely agree, seems way too short.

Hugo Cafasso, the sculptor of the dinosaurs, has told me the short neck might be an illusion due to how the integument was sculpted. First, he says the neck is slightly curved to the right and the model he has design follows closely correct skeletal reconstructions of the anymal.
He decided to represent the dinosaur as a large male with folded skin around the neck similar to what is seen in some birds of prey, i.e. vultures.
The excess skin makes the neck look thicker, and by consequence it looks shorter than it should. Also he says animals are not always in a fully stretched out position as we usually see in dinosaur skeletal reconstructions, where the body is well "spread out" and muscle contour is drawn tightly around the skeleton. Here the animal was depicted with quite a few extra soft tissues, including thick muscles. Also Hugo says birds for instance, don't always have their necks in a single position when walking/moving, changing the neck as the steps progress, sometimes having it a bit more streched out, sometimes more 'tucked in". I hope I translated his explanation well, please, let me know if you have any more questions for him.
Here's a sketch he sent me.


Also, on the price of the model, it's still to be decided.  He says the original price shown was the price for the backers in the campaign, the retail price of the figures will be defined later on when he's done all the math on production costs.

I don't like how the filaments have been represented, the partially feathered look doesn't look good to me.  It's also a bit disappointing that the elongated skull reconstruction was used for the Carcharodontosaurus.

The close-up at the neck joint looks odd.  The sudden transition from scaly to feathers just doesn't look right.  However, it's not as noticeable from the zoomed out view.

Hugo says he made it this way inspired by the head of the Vulture Coragyps atratus. The neck is bald and deeply wrinkled and the bare skin stops abruptly giving place to the feathers.

Thanks.  Good to know.

I like the vulture neck, but what I'm truly hyped for is that Irritator! It looks so well-fed and its face is less crocodilian than most interpretations.


Pretty!

@Ikessauro
Thank you very much for contacting the sculptor! Interesting to see that the neck is not too short, I guess Dino Hazard's Carchar is a particularly well fed individual then


@Sarapaurolophus Guess you missed this then:

S @Syndicate Bias

Been keeping track of this one. Sadly no way to obtain it yet.

@Sarapaurolophus Guess you missed this then:

Ohh, is that the final color scheme?
Yeah, I really need to have this one

[Flaffy]

It's explained in page 3 of the thread. Entirely new sculpt to fix anatomical errors on the previous version.

That's what I get for not reading the entire thread but I was gonna get this baby either way.

Here is the latest information from the Designer of the figures Hugo Cafasso.

He reports that in the same week that they posted the video with the carcharodontosairs, Covid-19's situation worsened in the State of São Paulo, where their supplier's factory is located.

For this reason, the factory was closed down - as well as several non-essential services ( I know this well, because I live in the capital of this State).

The general closing of companies is scheduled until April 22, and may be extended to control the pandemic. During this period, the factory's activities are paralyzed.

He informs that is still working on the next models, and that he will soon make a preview of these, which we will be able to give our opinions and feedbacks.
