Do some of you own them ?
What are your opinion on them ?
They seem to have incredible sculpts and very good paint job, but sadly there are veyr few videos and pictures on the net to really know, and most of them are bad quality :(
They are also very expensive for what they are, but in my opinion so far they seem to be the best velociraptors available quality wise.
Rebor are not as good to my mind.

Thank you

Andy has done a few reviews of them:

Though, if you want a high end Jurassic Park Velociraptor, I think you'd be better off with the Iron Studios 1/10 figures for about the same price.

Hello, thank you !

I've indeed seen the Iron Studio Velociraptors.
They look fantastic.
Unfortunately, they are no where to be found in my country, alwready out of stock.
They are only purchasable on ebay now, and at 200 dollars each MINIMUM, not even counting the shipping price.

On top of that, they are a bit too big for the 1/35 scale collection I plan to make.
And while they are very accurate to the Jurassic Park theme, that plain brown is a bit boring to me.
I prefer the paint job on the Dino Dream, and they are all very different on that part.
I also want a Velociraptor squad, not only one, so the Iron Studio do no fit in my case.

I don't see any other high quality Veliciraptors, I alwready own some Papos which are awesome for they price, but a bit small.
Rebors are a bit better.

I do like the Rebor Rose Velociraptor though, could that one too also (that's going to be expensive...)

Oh, if you want 1/35 and affordable, wait for the Nanmu versions.

Wow awesome !!  thanks !!

When do these beauties come out ?
Do we know if they will be sold in pack of 4 or individually ?
I hope they try different color schemes and not just Jurassic Park 1 brown...

I'm guessing after the Tyrannosaurus? So, sometime later this year probably. And I looks like they'll be primarily colored like Blue, but Nanmu always does at least 2 color ways, so JP1 raptors might be the other color scheme.

Ok thank you guys, that was reeeally usefull to me, I'm glad I asked you the question.

I think I'll just wait for now, while keeping an eye on the Dino Dream just in case they eventually become almost out of stock.
I'll decide when Nanmu's raptors are released.

I hope the Nanmu ones come with articulated jaws.
All of their figures did so far, but somehow I feel those raptors don't have that options from the look of the prototypes.
They look more like posed
That's also my issue with the Dino Dream ones.
I'm also afraid the Nanmu ones will be ridiculously small, almost minniatures, if you compare their scale to the Spinosaurus (using the provided humans for the comparaison)
It might be accurate scale but, that's too tiny for me.

As you can see on that video at 17:21
If the Nanmu raptors are at the size of the human scaling item provided, they will barely be half the size of that Grant toys lol
Unless they change the scale just for those raptors but that would be strange...
Am I wrong ?
(Yes I know that's just speculations based on prototypes so far, but not only, there are also those litle humans for comparaison).
