2013 Figures

[Simon]

Do you know how large this skeleton is?  What is the scale?

Do you know how large this skeleton is?  What is the scale?

Yes, I've measured mine. It's 415 mm total length (measured along the vertebral centra, so in direct line it's shorter at approx. 400 mm) and has a 56 mm long skull. I remember the scale was given as 1:35 but 1:30 makes more sense. BTW: here's a link to the (discontinued) Japanese version by Gakken, the box design is almost identical.

A re-release of the Gakken T-rex? Great! In Germany? Awesome!
Although I would prefer their Triceratops skeleton with the multiple heads.

The only other Dimetrodon genus I can think of apart from Dimetrodon grandis is Dimetrodon gigas...is it even a valid genus anymore? Or Dimetrodon limbatus? I guess if anyone is that bothered by the head, they could modify it with epoxy or something

There are plenty of valid Dimetrodons more.

Brontodocus, you have a PM.

Sorry if this one might have shown up elsewhere before (I've been absent for a while) but I really wanted to share this here in case it is new to most of you: Just a few minutes ago I was browsing a German online store and found that a company named "Edu-Toys" just threw a very nice educational set on the market... a box containing a booklet, several molds for making dinosaur teeth replicas (notably a premaxillary Tarbosaurus tooth and Iguanodon [s.l.] among them) and a nice looking Tyrannosaurus skeleton. Oh, yes, and the box design was very familiar to me - this is a German release of the Gakken "Tyrannosaurus Frame Model" kit and the skeleton is designed by Kazunari Araki!!! Here it is. I have the Japanese version and this is how it looks once assembled.

Do they ship worldwide? Can you help me get this one? I know almost nothing of German language... I better start learning ir soon

[sauroid]

they're cute

[Roselaar]

They are cute indeed! And they're messing up my Unique Species list. Goodbye Lexovisaurus! Am I correct in assuming Eudimorphodon and Pareiasaurus are unique species? Mussaurus maybe?

[Mauro "Raptor86"]

Gimiki? Where they came from? I can't find anything about this brand in the web

[tanystropheus]

These are some very cute, charming figures!

...btw, does anyone know when the Mojo Fun prehistoric mammals are expected to arrive?

[tyrantqueen]

The CollectA Dippy, Deinotherium, and Diabloceratops are available at Urzeitshop now. I'm picking mine up XD

[Takama]

You Europeians always get the stuff i want real bad first  

Cant wait to see you post photos of em when you get them

[tyrantqueen]

Us "Europeans" only get European stuff 'cause our countries are that of the manufacturers also.

Yanks get their stuff earlier than us for US based releases (some JP stuff ain't even coming out here) It goes both ways

I am sooo excited for the Dippy, I think it will be a big (or bigger than) the Jobaria XD

[Takama]

I remember seeing a picture of it in real life. It is indeed a large piece, and looks to be the Largest Standerd sized figure so far

Miron from Urzeitshop confirmed my package was on the way! So want to be the FIRST one on this forum to have the new 3Ds (Diablo, Deino, Diplo)

I just got my copy of this set and the skeleton is 100% identically equal to the Japanese original - what a great re-issue !

Thanks a lot for the hint, Andre!

i'm also tempted to purchase this skeleton box next month. the skeleton looks very convincing, can someone tell me if there's any inaccuracies?

[Yutyrannus]

Yesterday I got the Safari Acrocanthosaurus and Carnegie Concavenator. I am very happy with both of them, they are great figures

The coracoids look a bit too large and they are placed so that the arms insert far apart from each other which makes the skeleton look quite broad-shouldered (I don't mean the shape of the ribcage, just the position of the arms). The pyramidal hornlets above the eyes are something that can be discussed in a fleshed-out restoration but they were apparently not present on the skull itself (but the Gakken skeleton has them). The teeth are a bit blunt but I guess the waxy plastic the skeleton is made of (like the other Gakken skeletons Triceratops and Diplodocus, too) probably doesn't allow the same crisp detail as resin would. The acrylic display rods are a bit weak so they tend to bend a little - if you like them 100% perpendicular you might find it a bit annoying. Of course it is still a wonderful, wonderful skeleton model. I received one of these German re-releases today, too, and like Helge said, it's identical with the Japanese version (it's even mentioned on the box that it was originally released by Gakken), even the box dimensions are the same.
