Everything Dinosaur have a handy-dandy near-profile view of the Schleich Carnotaurus.



Here's Scott Hartman's Carnotaurus skeletal:



World of History my, er, foot!

The Styracosaurus would be very at home in the Natural History Museum gift shop, with all the other Chinasaur dreck.

I suppose if you really love Carnotaurus and want a ( maybe cute ? ) SD version of it then this guy might be right up your alley.

With all the other fantastic carnotaur models released this last few year (Papo, Carnegie, as well as Gorgonzola's, Galileo's, and RareBreed's Carno models) why would you purchase that abomination?


I guess if you chopped the head off and sculpted a completely new body, it might be OK.

I saw it in person as well as the new styraco in a shop in Germany. They were alongside the same species by Papo, which was really an unflattering comparison. They both look less cartoonish in person than on the stock pictures but they're horrible nevertheless, especially the carno. The styracosaurus would have been a decent figure 15 years ago

Is DeJankins still in business?

amargasaurus cazaui

He is using a new email, and moved to a better facility but I ordered some things from only a few weeks ago, so I would say yes he is.

Takama

Indeed he is in biznuss still.  He has moved and has a new email.   [email protected].  and yes he still takes orders. I just spoke with him yesterday

Just got word about the Mojo 2013 releases.

August.

So, someday! But not all that soon...on the other hand, probably worth the wait.

just three months away! :)

Precisely--it seems like a long time, but how long have we waited anyway? What's a few more months!

I actually quite like the Schleich Carnotaurus. I tend to go for more colourful or toy-like figures, and the Papo version is incredibly detailed, but to me it's just another dark green monsterish dinosaur.

Then I guess you can pair the new Schleich carno with the 2012 Bullyland spinosaurus and cast a vote about who has the ugliest pink and the worst head  >:D

The Papo Carno is dark green? As for monsterish, it is actually more accurate. And it is the Schleich Carno, that looks like a Movie Monster.

Saw it in a store myself and immediatly had to think of lemurs...

All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Please don't insult the Disney carnos by comparing them to the Schleich abomination, lol  ;D
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

Looks fairly dark green to me. I like some of the Papo figures but I wouldn't want more than a few, I just dislike the usual dull colour schemes. I want some variation if I'm going to display something.

Yes please, the only thing it really has in common is the red coloration..which is I'm sure why they did it to draw people that remember that.  Sculpt-wise it's really terrible..maybe on par with a few cheap figures Disney made for the park..looks very Super Deformed style to me.  The Papo version looks about as good as the Disney Dino Carnos and other than being really stocky..didn't have much against them.

Takama

It hink they got the idea of a Carnotaurus right, but effed up the proportions

tyrantqueen

Schleich has always had a bad track record with Carnotaurus, see here:



I wonder if they'll make a Ceratosaurus next year, to replace their old abominable pooping Ceratosaurus model?
