Wild Past - New for 2020

[DinoToyCollector]

Hello,

I thought it's time to share some updated pics of the Majungasaurus model. Hope you like it.

[Faelrin]

Already shared my thoughts on the instagram page, but it bears repeating here. This is looking wonderful, and I can't wait to see it painted up and released.

[Concavenator]

Wow, that looks gorgeous! @DinoToyCollector  , have you got an approximate release date?

[Flaffy]

Easily the best Majungasaurus around once it becomes available.
Hell, probably one of the best abelisaur figures to date even!

[Leyster]

Awesome! Can't wait to see it released!

[Carnoking]

Now there's a proper Majungasaurus. One of my favorite species which is criminally underrepresented in toy and model form. Cannot wait to see more of this guy.

Does look pretty impressive. What scale is it?

[spinosaurus1]

Does look pretty impressive. What scale is it?

it;s going to be in 1:35th scale, or around 20 cms in length

Sounds pretty good. Will have to pick up one when it's ready.

I think it will be around 15.5- 16 cm in length based on the info from Wildpast's web. CMIIW

Sorry for my late replies, but I had a lot of (non-dinosaur) work to do.

Credit for the base sculpt goes to @spinosaurus1 . I love it and it was fun to play around with it and pose it.

@Narutoceratops  I only have a very misty one: end of 2020

H @HogRider0607 I've updated the informations on the website and it's more like L 21,7cm * H 4,2 cm. I don't know where the previous estimations came from. I'm sorry for this.

[Faelrin]

Well kudos to you both. It's excellent. I also appreciate the inclusion of lips on it too.

[Concavenator]

@DinoToyCollector 21 cm is a good size! Also, if I remember correctly, it is going to be released after the Tethyshadros, isn't it?

[Faelrin]

I would have edited my previous post with this, but I think it's probably better as its own post as of now.

I forgot to ask earlier but is the Alcione still coming with the Majungasaurus?

Also will there be a PVC version of the 1/35 Velociraptor at some point (assuming it is possible)? I know there's the mating version (made to order) on shapeways, but it is unpainted: https://www.shapeways.com/product/VZQKRFZJA/raptor-dance-1-35-velociraptor?optionId=168031636&li=marketplace

In case anyone is wondering what I'm talking about:

If you are interested in feedback though, I do think the tail feathers could be more like what is seen on Zhenyuanlong, which the Safari Ltd figure incorporates, instead of the tail fan, which is likely based off the old paleoart meme that came about due Microraptor's tail feathers (which the shape of is debatable I guess, depending on the species or specimen possibly, see the CollectA thread of the discussion on that).

Also come to think of it, Zhenyuanlong itself would be a great addition if you would be at all interested. It's been 5 years since it's been published and so far none of the bigger companies (such as Safari Ltd or CollectA) have released a figure of it. Dakotaraptor (though it only has partial postcranial material), Halszkaraptor, and of course Utahraptor are others that come to mind that have remains that were recently published and/or described and still lack figures (or updated ones in the case of Utahraptor) as of now (though perhaps something will turn up next year, who knows). There's several other dromaeosaurids that would be interesting to see as well no doubt.

That would be awesome 
Would be the price range similar to the Protoceratops or slightly more, due to its size? Thank you.

[DinoToyCollector]

@Faelrin
The Alcione/nyctosaurid will be coming with the Majunga, yes. The Majungasaurus needs something to hunt  (speaking of paloart memes...)

Also will there be a PVC version of the 1/35 Velociraptor at some point (assuming it is possible)?

The mating Velociraptors will not be available as PVC versions. They are too complex and tiny to realise them as such. Velociraptor in a much more standard pose can be possible, but I have to discuss that with the manufacturer.

If you are interested in feedback though, I do think the tail feathers could be more like what is seen on Zhenyuanlong, which the Safari Ltd figure incorporates, instead of the tail fan, which is likely based off the old paleoart meme that came about due Microraptor's tail feathers (which the shape of is debatable I guess, depending on the species or specimen possibly, see the CollectA thread of the discussion on that).

Feedback is always appreciated The tail fan isn't a real paleo-meme. Because of the reduced size of the model, the details are very rough to make them visible on the print. I have to admit that the transition of the tail feathers to the body is a bit too hard. The problem we have with feathering a velociraptor is, there is a lack of imprints. Actually the feathering is based on, and a mix of Changyuraptor, Microraptor & Zhenyuanlong. The Saurian game has a good depiction of Dakotaraptor, too. Although being a bit old a very good and quick look on tail feathering can be found here https://www.deviantart.com/albertonykus/art/Pennaraptor-Tails-465558142

For the other dromaeosaurids: I think at some point We'll do one. I have some favourites among them and it's time to bring more feathered and fluffy "raptors" on the toy market instead of yet another JP styled one. @Doug Watson already did a great job with the Velociraptor and the Deinonychus though.

edit: forgot to answer the following question:

Would be the price range similar to the Protoceratops or slightly more, due to its size? Thank you.

H @HogRider0607
The price still depends on a number of variables that I still don't know yet. But I can say that the price will be in the same range as the Protoceratops maybe less. All in all it will be more reasonable regarding the size and production.

@DinoToyCollector I am interested in the Tethyshadros, majungasaurus and alcione from Wild Past. Due to unfortunate personal circumstances I cannot be aware of the latest news from the dinotoyblog.com/forum forum. I would ask you to reserve or at least indicate where I can order these wonderful sculptures. I like the three dinosaurs and on the other hand the majungasaurus seems to me the most interesting since we needed a worthy majungasaurus since it is unfortunately underrepresented

Yes!  I would love a Velociraptor in a more standard pose as a 1:35 painted figure!

I'm very happy to read this @DinoToyCollector!  After Velociraptor, Zanabazar and Saurornithoides, I'd really like to see some other dromaeosaurids!  I agree Doug did a great job with his Velociraptor and Deinonychus.  Like you, I'd also like to see more feathered dromaeosaurid toys!


I'm looking forward to the Majungasaurus!

[Shonisaurus]

In my case I would like to see a velafrons is a hadrosaurid dinosaur that is poorly represented in the toy market. I think there is none.

Moreover the tethyshrados looks great. Magnificent figure! and the majungasaurus is a beauty the prototype and in a more than acceptable size.

By the way, how much will these figures cost? I am very interested in them. I hope that dinotoycollecto publishes the prices in dollars and euros and that it also publishes a purchase link for these figures on eBay as it happened with the Wild Past protoceratops is the way I buy said figure. Magnificent brand of toys.

On the other hand, if you have commented that the tethyshrados will be made of less flexible material than the protoceratops, will it be made of hard and brittle plastic or of plastic that, without being flexible, is less perishable?
