David Silva's Beasts of the Mesozoic Tyrannosaur Series

[Giganotosaurus]

I added the Yutyrannus! (To my 2 pack bundle of the rexes) Now to wait for Bistahieversor! My wallet is going to be hurting like mad! Also waiting for Dryptosaurus as well!

[suspsy]

Dilong is less than $2K away from being unlocked. This turned out to be another successful day!

[Faelrin]

Glad to see momentum picking up. I wonder if it is from Yutyrannus being unlocked if not other reasons?

Once it gets unlocked next up will be the Bistahieversor which I know there's some interested in that one as well.


Edit: Speaking of which the campaign has been updated with this image now:

[Giganotosaurus]

So wave 2 won't be released until 2023 probably, right?

[Faelrin]

@Giganotosaurus That would probably be a safe estimate, considering the production timeline of the ceratopsian series so far, and any potential unforeseen delays.

Edit: Dilong less then $100 from being funded now.

[Lynx]

Dilong has been reached!

[suspsy]

And Bistahieversor is now on the list while Dryptosaurus is coloured in on the chart!

[Faelrin]

Funny how I walked away, chatted with my mom about something, and come back to see it funded. Remains me of the thing with boiling water (where it seems slower if you watch it, and faster if you don't). Anyways, campaign tab has been updated too with new pics for the upcoming stretch goals at:

-1/18th Bistahieversor sealeyi $265,000 (in case anyone missed it)



-1/18th Teratophoneus curriei $280,000



-1/18th Dryptosaurus aquilunguis $300,000



-1/18th Proceratosaurus bradleyi



Op already updated with all of these now.

[Over9K]

I'm so weak... my initial pledge was for the Dino-Riders big rex and a set of the postcards... but I couldn't stop myself from adding the regular big rex too... so another couple hundos into the project!

I'm now going to sit and refresh the page every 10 seconds or so until that Gorgosaurus stretch is opened up...

[Kei]

They're all amazing looking - I'm already struggling between the default versus the WWD color scheme.

All these upcoming add ons are going to be hectic for me 

[Carnoking]

Really keen to see some of these finished prototypes, in particular the Teratophoneus so that I can find out how much more money I'm throwing at this line.

[suspsy]

I like that the Dryptosaurus is sitting to a Hadrosaurus carcass. Can't wait to see the finished piece. Can't wait to see all the finished package art.

[Faelrin]

Alright so I updated the op with information from update 4 on the kickstarer, and also added a tracker to the stretch goals as I did with the package art, etc. This may make it easier to quickly see how things have been progressing short of checking the kickstarter campaign tab as well, and total funding aside.

Some pics of the Dilong and the beautiful package art of this one:



Love seeing these two together. Very much want both now (although I think having both in 1/18th scale in the future to go with the 1/18th scale Psittacosaurus and Yutyrannus would be great as well).





Edit: About a little less then $6,000 left to get Bistahieversor funded now. Amazing. Hope to wake up to seeing that one fully funded as well.

[Faelrin]

Not funded by the time I woke up but it is almost there with less then $2,000 left now. Then next up will be the Teratophoneus at $280,000, which we haven't even seen the sculpt of yet.


Edit: To add some perspective of the success of this campaign, the Ceratopsians campaign ended with over $272,000. Higher funding goal of this campaign aside, that amount has been reached in nearly 4 days where as for that campaign it took a long and slow struggle to get there by the time it ended.

[Dobber]

Definitely want the Bistahieversor but I admit I find it kind of odd how he is keeping upcoming stretch goals secret and also not using completed prototypes earlier either. The 2 I really want (of what we have seen) are Lythronax and Gorgosaurus. With 11 more tyrannosaurs left and roughly 15-20k between stretch goals...it looks like Half a million dollars to have all stretch goals unlocked!

[Faelrin]

Bistahieversor just got funded now!

Edit: Update 5 is live now:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/creativebeast/beasts-of-the-mesozoic-tyrannosaur-series-action-figures/posts/3311441

Main takeaway is that over then the above, the base got updated to match the coloration of the package art (which I must say I prefer), and there are now updated galleries on the creative-beast website for all the funded tyrannosaurs now.

Website does seem to be loading pretty slowly. Got a lot of traffic, possibly from the new updated galleries going live. Thought I would give a heads up on that, in case anyone is interested.

Edit 2: I'm also updating and adding images from these galleries to the op, but because of the heavy traffic it is slow going right now.

In a Kickstarter update email, David says this:

'Split-Shipping for Wave 2' Add-On

And for those interested in receiving your items as they're available as opposed to all-at-once, please choose the new 'Split Shipping for Wave 2' add-on option. This will cover the shipping cost for the additional shipment.

Does this mean if I don't choose split shipping, I'll have to wait for wave 2 to receive all my wave 1 figures along with Bistahieversor?

Yes. This was how it was for the ceratopsian series prior as well.

[ItsTwentyBelow]

So, say I just want one or two of the non-T.rex species like the Teratophoneus, and nothing else? Would I just use the "pledge $1" option and then be able to add the price of add-on figures to that pledge?

This Kickstarter just seems really confusing to get in on for someone who isn't interested in more T. rexes.

Thanks whoever can answer.

@ItsTwentyBelow not the 1 dollor option, select the shipping US or shipping non-US option and then you can add on. The dollar is just a dollar.
