David Silva's Beasts of the Mesozoic Tyrannosaur Series

[Dusty Wren]

As far as I know, there's no firm date for the Kickstarter launch. But David mentioned on a recent Instagram post that the campaign would happen this year. So, fall 2021 maybe? 

[Giganotosaurus]

Looking at how long the other lines took based on other threads I'm gonna say probably around fall 2022? Although I'm a newbie to this series, that's just my educated guess.

EDIT:

In one of his recent comments on Twitter, he says the kickstarter is now looking to start in summer, not in the spring.

Proceratosaurus! I love this color scheme, it's gonna look so beautiful

My big fave so far!

[Giganotosaurus]

I plan on buying the 1/35 and 1/18 T Rex, the Gorgosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Albertosaurus, Bistahieversor, Daspletosaurus, Dryptosaurus, and Lythronax. Those and Dominion's figures next year will really hurt my wallet!

I'm looking at the Walking with Tyrannosaurus, Suskityrannus and Alectrosaurus

[Giganotosaurus]

I wonder what will be the next dinosaur series after the Tyrannosaurs. I know he's planning on a dragon series, but I notice he usually announces these series years in advance, so we may be receiving word on what's next later this year. I read that he was interested in Stegosaurs, they would be a nice series to go for. But I would love for more carnivores also.

Gotta be something he can use multiple parts for. Hadrosaurs? What group is essentially similar but with different heads?

I'd gladly take Hadrosaurs! You couldn't go wrong with those!!
Would Carcharodontosauridae work? I would love a line of them!

[Stegotyranno420]

How about the OTHER beasts of the mesozoic, like early suchians or pterosaurs?

Are there enough of them?  David may need to combine a couple genus per wave.

Pterosaurs i could see. Popularity is surely a factor as well. It would HUGE but sauropods were a plan at some point if i recall.

@Blade-of-the-Moon
I could already imagine the concept art of a BoTM styled concept art for adzarchids

A few years back, before the Raptor line even, David had this concept image for the line showing several different species. Been trying to dig it up again but no luck so far.

Shots of the Yutyrannus sculpt in progress are on Facebook.

Here's the main image, for those of you who (like me) try to be on Facebook as little as possible:



Yutyrannus is the figure I'm most excited for out of this line, and it looks amazing so far.

@Dusty Wren You beat me to it lol. Here's the other pics:

So Raul Ramos did the base part of the head sculpt (edit: my bad I read it wrong. Jake Baardse did the under sculpting detail,
and Raul Ramos added the articulation and did the 3D print), and David is adding the feathers, and any other remaining details. I think so far it's looking absolutely stunning. This may have been the one I have been anticipating possibly the most for so long. It is really meeting all my expectations. I really can't wait to see the other feathered ones get tackled like the Guanlong or the partially feathered Dryptosaurus in the future.

[DragonRider02]

Looks absolutely fantastic. Now I am even more excited for rest of feathered tyrannosaurs. It's gonna be so hard to choose my favorite one to buy!

Is this the one you're looking for? I found it in the "Dinosaur action figure concepts" Album on his Facebook, took me a bit to find it haha

So here's an unpleasant question: how much do you all reckon the 1/18 T. rex will end up costing? I'm betting $175 US myself.

[Smilodon P.]

Duplicated images excluded.

I think $175 is a good guess. The 1/18 Triceratops and Torosaurus were $130 in BackerKit, and I think the 1/18 rex will use more plastic than those models did. Does it share parts with any of the other tyrannosaurs? If not, I can see that pushing the price up as well. Something in the $160-$180 range wouldn't surprise me.
