New Mesozoo Dinosaur Brand

[Shonisaurus]

Today I went to pick up Papo's news, a total of three dinosaurs, the repainted parasaurolophus, the giganotosaurus and chilesaurus, when it is my surprise that one of the owners of the Store tells me that they have a new figure of a new brand that has emerged in concrete is a pretty well made allosaurus. This brand is Mesozoo, it is made by a client of the Store as they told me and I pass the link of the Store and the photographs.

As I do not have a mobile that can take photographs, I pass you to the link of the brand and photographs of this figure,

The Allosaurus looks decent. Some okay paint work and sculptural detail. Not to great, but they have potential.

Thanks for the link Shonisaurus,that Allosaurus is the best one to come along in a very long time.

I like the design of the Allosaurus quite a lot. Shame the seams are in the middle of the face and so noticeable.

[Shonisaurus]

The allosaurus is made of solid PVC and it is quite a hard and resistant PVC, the price for said figure is a bit high. The painting is decent and the sculpture has its flaws but it is quite acceptable. It has visible stitching on the tail and on the arms. The teeth on the other hand are a bit neglected when it comes to their painting. His jaw is articulated but when I move the springs of the articulated jaw to close it opens instantly.

In general terms it is an acceptable figure, I repeat and it must be taken into account that it is his first sculpture.

@stargatedalek Also the lower part of the tail and the forearms can be seen visible seams.

Not bad at all. I like the color scheme on this as well. It also looks like they included the oversized claw on the first digit, which many companies tend to forget about or blunt too much. Only downside is the prominent seams, rough paint job on the teeth, aside from the few minor accuracy issues.

Thank you for sharing @Shonisaurus as I am considering getting this (assuming they ship to Germany).

Also does anyone have any idea on the scale? Dimensions are listed as being 29x9 cm.

Great to see another company getting its start as well and not bad at all for their first release. I'm curious to see what their next releases will be.

A pretty convincing figure - enough to overlook the minor faults, most of which can be rectified. I even like the color scheme.

[Concavenator]

Not bad. They need to improve the quality of the teeth and also the paint quality, but for a first release, it's pretty neat.

[ceratopsian]

I think it's a good start.  I like the colour scheme a lot.  Less keen on the seams, the jaw and teeth.  It seems quite expensive - but 29 cm is quite a sizeable model.

Thanks @Shonisaurus, and I'm glad you found some things to buy too!

[Loon]

I kind of like the design, though it does remind me a bit of the horrid Mojo Allosaurus from a few years back, though only superficially. I'd be interested to see what they do in the future.

[Smilodon P.]

Although the company seems to be starting from zero and has only one figure, it has potential.

And the model of the Ceratosaurus on Instagram seems to be far superior than the Allosaurus.

[Shonisaurus]

S @Smilodon P. Is there another model in progress? A ceratosaurus? Could you show the link? I do not find such news in progress.

[ceratopsian]

@Shonisaurus, If you search for the word mesozoo on Instagram, you will find them. There are some pictures.

[PrimevalRaptor]

Now that's a really great starting model for a new company! Apart from the seams on the head it's really nice.
I also do like the color scheme even if it's a bit rough. Reminds me of the Schleich Baryonyx, but a bit nicer thanks to the brighter underside.
Certainly a brand to look out for I think.

The 3D artist/sculptor seems to be the same person in charge of modelling the dinosaur models in the game "Beasts of Bermuda".
Manuel Gil is the artist, here is his artstation portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/manuelsaurus

(hopefully this is the case, and Manuel is officially employed. Rather than Mesozoo stealing models)

[Shonisaurus]

@ceratopsian True, they have a ceratosaurus in the pipeline that leaves their allosaurus small in quality, and it is more according to Instagram that they are in a project apart from the ceratosaurus (at least it is what it seemed to me) a quite cool spinosaurus. Thanks for the clarification.

[Shonisaurus]

I do not understand how there are unscrupulous people who plagiarize ideas from other artists, in this case paleoartists. That must be persecuted there are criminal laws in each of our nations where they put these scammers in their place. I understand that buying Mesozoo dinosaurs is a good reason for me too.

[Carnoking]

Not a bad figure. Looks like a very well done schleich offering to me for some reason.

[stargatedalek]

In that case I hope his one-man-company will help him to move to other projects.
Beasts of Bermuda has plagiarized from paleoartists, from what I heard they even have a channel on their official Discord server where fans can suggest "inspiration", as in they'll copy designs without permission.

Regarding this the head developers have stated that they only take them down if the artists they ripped the designs from contact them but for this they'd have to be on their Discord server to see this.

That being said I do not believe Manuel Gil Jaramillo is to blame, after all he is only employed by Beasts of Bermuda's developers, it is rather the fault of Sastrei Studios, LLC., similar to how the developers of the scam project Mesozoica exploited their 3D artist Roberto Fabiani.
Thus all the more reason to buy Mesozoo figures.

Frankly this is an incredible overreaction.

They aren't copying designs into the game itself, it's simply users posting images in a Discord server as examples of what animals they would want to see in the game. The studio and developers are not using that art, it's just random people posting it, and they're encouraging it to fuel community engagement not to get a list of things to copy from.

It's their job to make the game, and to engage with the community for feedback and (ideally) to keep it safe and clear of as much toxicity as possible. It isn't their job to micromanage customers, many of which are probably children anyway, sharing safe images on the companies social media platforms.

If there is any designs that have been stolen that are in the game, can someone share it with us.
