David Silva's Beasts of the Mesozoic Tyrannosaur Series

[Giganotosaurus]

I hope David releases more 1/35 tyrannosaurs in the future, plus some ceratopsians also.

i have a couple of questions:

1) raptors had problems with their jaws (crooked, loosely closing). are these jaw problems corrected in tyrannosaurids? are there differences between the waves (1, 2, 3)?

2) the tails of some figures are made of rubber(?) with wire inside. how durable is this construction? doesn't the rubber harden and crack over time?

1. I would say not entirely. @Halichoeres mentioned his Suskityrannus from wave 2 had a poorly fitting jaw

2. Not sure. Only time would tell.

I think this will make you happy then:



Myself, I think I will hold off on getting PNSO's Gorgosaurus and Safari's Daspletosaurus for a while, then. I like those figures and they are on my wishlist, but the BotM ones look so great that I'd rather get them instead if there will be 1:35 versions. Also, if David is planning to release some 1:35 versions of I'm assuming some of those Body 4 tyrannosaurs, then I think it's highly likely we will be getting a 1:35 Allosaurus and maybe Carnotaurus too, with these genera being more famous than those tyrannosaurids.

I plan to get the 1:18 version to go with my BotM Styracosaurus, but man I'd love one of those in 1/35 too. Easily the most beautiful Gorgosaurus on the market atm I think, with PNSO's a close second.

[Prehistory Resurrection]

[Pliosaurking]

What a beautiful piece, so glad I backed it!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Think I'm going to slow up getting the rest of these, I have all of the 2nd Wave figures still in box here..

[Flaffy]

So sooo tempted to get the 1/18 Gorgosaurus too... IMO the best one out of the 4. This pic alone just sells the figure for me, so regal and majestic...


However, if David is doing 1/35 versions then I'd be much more interested in those instead. But considering how busy David is I'm probably not going to wait (still waiting on more 1/18 raptors, especially an updated Zhenyuanlong...). Can always sell the larger version down the road afterall

[Faelrin]

I couldn't stop staring at it when I saw the paint sample at Legions Con last month. Well that and the Carnotaurus, lol. Nice to see what it can do with the neck articulation. Vastly improved over the wave 1 figures. Hardly believe the wait is over soon. I'm honestly debating if I want to start saving for this, some Hiya Toys Godzilla figures, or Cyberzoic first. Hard to choose.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

It would be nice if they could stay in those poses. I really love the quality and detail but I can only ever get them to display in the the most neutral of poses.

[Over9K]

Alberto and Gorgo are certainly going to bring some new colors to my Tyrannosaur collection!

[Pliosaurking]

Definitely got to grab that Gorgosaurus at some point!

[Prehistory Resurrection]

Anticipation is high... that Gorgosaurus is just insane. I don't think I knew the blue was going to be so luminous. So psyched, haven't had a really good box day in a long time.

[Prehistory Resurrection]

[Eatmycar]

I really, really, want Gorgosaurus. My finances are against me on this front, but... damn. That is a gorgeous figure. The color palette reminds me of the old Kenner Young T. rex from the second Jurassic Park line, a figure I coveted as a child but never owned... and this is a fitting modernization of that deco to me.

The BotM Gorgosaurus has got to be one of the most beautiful dinosaur models I've ever seen, period. Unfortunately, I can't justify going for it instead of the PNSO just because the latter doesn't represent an adult and because of the lack of lips. But if David will release a 1:35 version that's going to be a day 1 purchase from me. Same for the Daspletosaurus.

Yeah a shame about PNSO's Tyrannosaurs missing the lip train. Coelurosaur in particular look weird without lips.
