David Silva's Beasts of the Mesozoic Tyrannosaur Series

oh wow I love the light tan color... is this the one that appeared together at the same time/place as zuniceratops ?

No, that would be Suskityrannus. (also the Therizinosaur Falcarius, just saying...)

Very nice looking Teratophoneus figure.  Teratophoneus was around at the same time as Kosmoceratops, Nasutoceratops, Utahceratops (I think) and a species of Parasaurolphus, as well as other dinosaurs. 

That's such a nice figure it may be worth getting 2 or 3 of them and have the beginnings of a pack....or perhaps it should be called a flock.

thanks! Im trying to keep track of which BOTM dinosaur pairs up with which, I actually have nasutoceratops which is probably why I had teratophoneus in my mind as a possible purchase but have also been thinking of getting the Zuni to pair with suskit. Still waiting for that prototype and the ones  for alectrosarus and moros.

any easy-ish way to determine which animals lived together is to look up the Wikipedia article on a particular animal.  Often at the bottom they have a section titled 'paleoecology' and that often mentions other animals that coexisted.  Usually it's quite accurate and it's a good springboard to further research.

New update, with information about the backerkit surveys, the Dryptosaurus and Teratophoneus, ToyCon, etc. Most of this has been covered by now, but sharing the link just in case:

Edit: A bit late, but I finally updated the op with the new package artwork, and replaced the images from FB, with the ones from the CB website for the Dryptosaurus gallery.

Also Teratophoneus is finished now:

Added the Teratophoneus gallery to the op. Can't believe 16 are finished now. That just leaves the Proceratosaurus, Qianzhousaurus, Suskityrannus, Eotyrannus, Alectrosaurus, and Moros left.

Fingers crossed I can make the trip out to NJ in a few more days to see these beauties in person (and get plenty of pics).

Qianzhousaurus paint is wip now:

Lookin sharp so far!

Minor update today regarding backerkit survey's and the upcoming con events David will be at this weekend. Once again the Tyrannosaurs will only be there to see on Sunday, at the Legion Con event.

Look at them all together though! Guess we'll be seeing more of them soon!



Seeing the Dilong next to the others really helps give me a good idea on the size range, since that's roughly the size of the 1/6 scale raptors.

Still hoping to go if everything works out, depending on how tomorrow goes. At least the car's been fixed up now thankfully. I'll be packing tomorrow (or technically later today, since it is after 12am now...), since he did say I could bring figures to get comparisons with. Last minute requests? I plan to go to bed early tomorrow and get up early in the morning on Sunday.

@Faelrin Don't know if it's too late already, and this might come off as a totally random comparison, but could you get a pic of the BotM Chasmosaurus (if you have it, of course) along with the Guanlong? Would like to see how those two look together.

@Concavenator I don't have that one unfortunately, but I can try to ask if he has one on hand to get a comparison of.

[Concavenator]

@Faelrin No prob, thank you nonetheless!

[Faelrin]

Okay so here is the list of figures I have packed (no guarantees I'll get pics with all of these, depends on if I have time), sorted by my personal comparison priorities:

-Toyway WWD Allosaurus and the unopened WWD Tyrannosaurus (will be safely transported in a box or something separate from all these).
-Mattel Jurassic World Epic Roarin' Tyrannosaurus, and Battle Damage Blue
-Safari Ltd Feathered Tyrannosaurus, and Yutyrannus
-Battat Terra Tyrannosaurus
-Primal Rage Sauron and Talon
-Beasts of the Mesozoic Velociraptor and Dromaeosaurus, and maybe the mountains accessory pack stuff

I also fully intend to show up in my Beasts of the Mesozoic shirt I got back in 2019, heh.

[suspsy]

How the blue blazes are you going to lug all that stuff around?

[Faelrin]

@suspsy This wonderful Paleozoic bag here. I love what I can cram in this thing.

In case you are wondering, the one in the plastic bag is the Safari Ltd Tyrannosaurus. Trying to minimize the paint chipping on it during transport.
I also brought this same bag with a bunch of other stuff for comparisons back in 2019 too, some of which I shared in the ceratopsian thread.

Holy crap, can you review that Primal Rage Talon toy sometime in the future? I think it might be the very first dromaeosaur toy to possess feathers.

[Faelrin]

@suspsy Yeah I definitely plan too after I get through my other backlog of reviews first. It isn't 100% complete, but when I bought it earlier this year it had some of the armor pieces with it, which I'll be sure to showcase. I also have Vertigo, Armadon, and Chaos aside from the two above. Need to hunt down the rest eventually.

These toys were also some of the very first dinosaur toys I have memories of playing with, and Talon (and Diablo) were my favorites then and still now. The Primal Rage Talon figures could also very well be the first dromaeosaurid toy with feathers of some kind as it predates the Chaos Effect Velociraptor Archaeopteryx hybrid, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was the reason I warmed up to and accepted feathered dromaeosaurids as far back as the late 2000's when I learned of such when I was still in high school.
