2013 Figures

I can't wait for the new Papo dinosaurs.

I extracted pics from the Papo catalogue for the ATF. Here is the Gharial  :

That gharial is really nice. I think I'll have to get one.

Urzeitshop has shared some photos of the new Schleich dinosaurs on their facebook page...https://www.facebook.com/urzeitshop/photos_stream

Well those Schleichs don't look quite as bad as I originally thought, but I still won't be getting them.  I still wonder why they made figures that Papo also makes?  You'd think they'd try to avoid that at all costs.

Me too.

That Papo Gharial looks amazing----Does anyone know if prehistoric Gharials were morphologically similar to their extant counterparts??

The modern genus has been around since the Miocene, and its ancestors have been around since the late Cretaceous.  Very similar looking crocodilians of various families have existed since at least the late Jurassic.

Ok now I want the carnotaurus

Those Schleichs are so terrible. I don't think they could pay me to display them let alone get me to buy them.

My sentiments exactly..if anything the paint apps are worse on the final product making them look even less appealing to me...not that they were before mind you.

I have the same opinion  .

I spoke well of the Carnotaurus' head before.

I now regretfully withdraw the compliment.

That gharial looks amazing! That's three Papo figures I'll have to add to the cart later this year!
The Schliech figures are... weak. They've always been relatively weak, I've only ever had three of their figures in my collection (and one was a gift!). The Styracosaurus looks overly cartoony, but I thought the Carnotaurus looked fine. Then the Papo Carnotaurus was unveiled and I forgot all about Schliech's model. Seeing it as it would be in real life... it looks disproportionate and the color is not good. I guess I'll skip Schliech this year, again.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I imagine both will sell relatively well at many a Disney Park..assuming they carry Schleich there.

the new Schleichs look like glorified chinasaurs.

The new Schleich's look like baby dinos to me. Ditto for the Collecta Daspletosaurus. The Collecta Diabloceratops looks like a dog ready to fetch a stick. The other 2013 dinos look good to me. I'm especially impressed by all the 2013 prehistoric mammals.
I'd still like to see more horned dinosaurs and hadrosaurs - Chasmosaurus, Centrosaurus, Pentaceratops, Lambeosaurus, Corythosaurus, and a museum quality Edmontosaurus.

More hadrosaurs would be great..as would more ornithomimids and hypsilophodonts.

I made a suggestion to CollectA awhile back to create a small family of Struthiomimus that can be connected to there newly Based T-Rex with Prey

But who did you make the suggestion to? With CollectA that can make a lot of difference.

That would be pretty cool..I loved their Deinocheirus figure...imagine a whole " flock " of them does as well..
