Nanmu Studio - New for 2020

[Darko2300]

God, I hope these Rexes come out good. *fingers crossed*

@KeU I preordered at BBTS a little while ago so I am hyped for them to ship out soon!

[Shonisaurus]

In my case I will wait for the tyrannosaurus rex to be in stock to order it. I don't want the same thing that happened to me with the allosaurus and mosasaurus from Nanmu Studio to happen to me. Patience is a great virtue.

What happened?

Big thumbs up. Their pricing on the Nanmu Rex is competitive and shipping rates are low.

@KeU As the packages were lost due to the pandemic, I had to open two disputes, one for the original allosaurus from Nanmu Studio and the other for the mosasaurus from Nanmu Studio, the store returned my money and I had to reorder the items since the packages they were lost. Now I prefer to order the Nanmu, iToy or PNSO figures when they are in stock and not preorder to avoid packages being lost.

I am sorry to hear that.
Glad that they at least refunded you.

Some pictures surfaced on Facebook, showing the Nanmu Mosasaurus cut in half, revealing that the body section is hollow, and OMG people are FUH-REEKING out about it.






People are saying this indicates Nanmu is "lying" to collectors, some are claiming this indicates Nanmu figures are low quality, and at least one seems to think that the photos show that Nanmu is making the Mosasaurus out of "recycled PVC pipe"... 

Personally, I expected part of this one to be hollow. Can you imagine the weight if it were solid the whole way through? The shipping cost would be insane! Nanmu probably wouldn't be able to sell it at the same price as figures half its size either...

[Loon]

Wasn't it confirmed to be hollow some time ago? Also, I don't see how using a recycled material to make figures, given the state of things, would be a bad thing.

Yes

Lanna time shop on Instagram said it would be Hollow PVC vynil.

Recycled materials, sure... this guy is actually saying the body is a section of reclaimed PVC pipe.

[Takama]

I wonder how mad people will be when they see that the Apatosaurus is no diffrent.

[Carnoking]

I don't particularly care about the material of models, and I certainly don't see vinyl as bad. Look at larger PNSO models for example. Those things are great, and they're not solid by any means. What I do care about is the outward appearance, and when it comes to this mosasaurus, that paint job is incredibly underwhelming on an otherwise lovely sculpt. I think there are worse things to be upset about with this one. 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Ugh, mob mentality.  Not surprised and I don't really care.  Most figures/statues/ect are hollow in some part now if not entirely.

Reclaimed PVC pipe! Is there any more information on this bizarre theory? I thought at first they were simply suggesting PVC piping is melted down and being used in a mold instead of fresh PVC, but do they think lengths of pipe are somehow being pressed and tooled into the final figures?

If they are saying the sculpting was done on an armature that used a section of PVC pipe, what's the problem?

[Takama]

GUYS I would take the complaints of these whining fans with a grain of salt.

The PVC pipe thing was just an observation. I doubt thats litterly what its made of.

That particular FB user deleted his posts from that thread, actually.

I'm just a bit taken aback by the few that are saying they've canceled pre-orders of the Apatosaurus, after finding out it's hollow, and they're now suspicious of their Rebor, W-Dragon and Nanmu theropods of being hollow as well, as if being hollow would somehow the perceived quality of these figures they apparently loved until now, thinking (erroneously) that they're hollow!

[Syndicate Bias]

ugh now I don't even want that Nanmu Giga knowing full well it's made with a pvc pipe

[Takama]

Please tell me your jokeing?

Becaues i honestly think the PVC pipe thing is a load of unfossilized cropolites

This is still being talked about? Good lord..
