David Silva's Beasts of the Mesozoic Tyrannosaur Series

[Shonisaurus]

I really like the bistahieversor those black and red paint colors look great is that tyrannosauroid. I can't wait to see the entire group of tyrannosauroids finished.

And now the teratophoneus! Very rare dinosaur figure I suppose it will be the only one that exists in the toy dinosaur market in case it is marketed soon.

A gallery of the completed Bistahiversor prototype is up on Facebook now. Needless to say, it looks terrific!

[Faelrin]

It really looks amazing. Really hope to get this one at some point.

I really love seeing it alongside the Pentaceratops sculpt here.





And here it is with the first painted prototype.

[Halichoeres]

Thanks, Faelrin! That's a looker.

Teratophoneus concept art done now:

[Concavenator]

Is it me or does the Teratophoneus' neck look super thin? 
When I see the other tyrannosaurs I don't get that impression, but in this case, I can't unsee it.

I really like that it uses a turtle's colour scheme. Be cool if the Albertosaurus has one as well.

It is just concept art so the final piece may be different.  What size is it? Looks like if it does have that small a neck it could use the Juvenile Rex parts? Maybe it's meant to be a juvenile as well?

[Appalachiosaurus]

Yeah, it shares the Juvenile T. rex body according to the quote in the very first post of this thread.

Well I guess that explains it at least in part.

Yutyrannus sculpt nearly finished now:

[Dusty Wren]

Aw, I was hoping for a slightly shaggier Yutyrannus. I know she can't be too fluffy because the joints need to be able to move properly, but I thought we might get some longer feathers in places where it wouldn't interfere with the articulation.

[Sarapaurolophus]

For some reason I love these grabby hands on the Yutyrannus. They look just like the claws of a bird of prey. Still wish a different raptor would have inspired this one's color design. I would have liked to see an owl instead. Ah well, the Yutyrannus is out of my financial range anyways.

[Dobber]

Something looks off with the Yutyrannus to me. Like the proportions are off or something. Maybe it is just the perspective of the pictures.

that bistah is gorgeous! I love the blue eyes! The only thing Id change is the bright purple mouth. Anyway judging by the pic of it next to the penta it will be way out of my price range.

[Shonisaurus]

The yutyrannus prototype from Beasts of te Mesozoic hints that it will be the best of its kind in a toy version by far.

WIP painted Lythronax was shared today:

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

I love the Raptors, pass on the Ceratopsians (I don't know why. They remind me too much of action Figures.), but i'm in for a few of these Tyrannosaurs. They will be really expensive, so one or two will be maximum. Maby just one. It will be the Yutyrannus i think. I just love the feathered look and the rough surfave hides the joints quite good.

The way he sculpts the Lips is just right for me. They actually look like lips. Accuracy aside, i just mean the looks. Same with the Raptorseries.

[Faelrin]

They are action figures. Have been since the start. Been one of the main reasons David Silva started this project in the first place. He wasn't satisfied with the lack of articulated dinosaur (or other animal) toys or collectibles on the market (or why none of the big name action figure companies had bothered to do such before, despite the freedom of having no license meant).

Yes, i know that they are Action Figures. But The Raptors and Tyrannosaurs do not look like Action Figures in the Sense of Mattel and so on. Or what i think of when thinking about Action Figures. The Ceratopsians do, in my Opinion. It was just my personal Point of view. I often am misunderstood, because of the way i write in english, sorry. A lot of Dinosaur Figures are marketed as Toys, but they look more like Models, because the Quality and Detail of Figures is way different than when i was young. I am not buying BOTM Figures because of the articulation, rather than the sculptwork and overall accuracy. I keep them in neutral positions mostly. If they would be way cheaper, i would close the Joints with putty and keep them in one Pose^^ I did not want to critizise the Work. I love his work. Just not every Design.

Edit: Maybe it is because in Germany, we call Action Figures "Action Figuren" and commonly do not use a special german word for it. So i may be thinking of classic Action Figure Toys(Like Mattel, Action man or Transformers) rather than just Figures that can articulate alot.
