New Mesozoo Dinosaur Brand

[Flaffy]

Mesozoo keeps getting more impressive.
The Prestosuchus looks fantastic.
I really love the skin on it giving a nice contrast to Safari's version that is covered in scutes and osteoderms all over.
From what I know the Mesozoo take is just as likely and it is really nice to have some variation on the shelf.

Actually Prestosuchus is known to have osteoderms, see @Doug Watson's comment on this DTB review: http://dinotoyblog.com/2019/01/02/prestosuchus-wild-safari-by-safari-ltd/

Interesting  , I guess Doug's fantastic version already has a headstart on the accuracy department.
Though I definitely do enjoy the smoother look of the Mesozoo one as well. It's refreshing to see rauisuchians lacking the usual/traditional crocodile-like integument.

Prestosuchus from Mesozoo and Safari two examples of different versions of that rauisuquio. Both versions are just as good and brilliant.

Hopefully they can resolve the factory issues regarding the painting concerns on the Allosaurus, since these, if not fixed, will likely spill over onto the other two figures.

[Halichoeres]

I think I like the Safari version better, but I might buy this Prestosuchus anyway. There are so few opportunities to buy toys of Triassic animals.

I asked Mesozoo to send us some pictures of the Prestosuchus: https://bit.ly/2H3wfxS
I like the Ivory teeth, I just suggested not to paint the fourth and fifth digits...

[PrimevalRaptor]

Wow, those pics look really nice! Especially love the wrinkles, looks very dynamic and alive.

@Mattyonyx, @Doug Watson and Dr. Schultz think Prestosuchus had claws on all five fingers: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=7110.msg211856;topicseen#msg211856

That figure of prestosuchus is beastly! I hope that soon Manuel Gil Jaramillo will commercialize that beauty soon and that the real figure will be identical to the prototype (crossed fingers). It is a beauty. Hopefully it is commercialized soon I count the days.

This company is very clearly stealing from Manuel Gil Jaramillo. That is, unless it's made and owned by the artist. In that case, I'm just a dummy.

It's owned by Jaramillo.

Good to know!

Spino looks fantastic! I must make an exception and get another more spino in my collection!  Allosaurus is also tempting ...

And its ceratosaurus is also tempting. I hope that the ceratosaurus, Manuel will commercialize it soon. Perhaps it may be the best ceratosaurus made to date by a brand of toy dinosaurs.

[Halichoeres]

I'm not sure where the idea that all archosaurs had three clawed digits came from. Is it just a case of someone applying phylogenetic bracketing too zealously?

[Shonisaurus]

I have received an email from Mesozoo and they have told me that the spinosaurus will be available to buy in February of next year, on the other hand the prestosuchus will be available for April 2021.

The ceratosaurus will be available after the spinosaurus and the prestosuchus.
I pass you the reply from Mesozoo:

"We hope to have the next model here in February and the Prestosuchus by April. The Ceratosaurus is only after the Spino and the Presto.
We are at your entire disposal for any information, thank you very much".

I think we will have to wait a long time for us to see these figures.

[Halichoeres]

That seems pretty reasonable to me. We usually have to wait longer than that to see new products from CollectA and Papo after they show the prototypes.

More pics of the Presto prototype on Instagram.

[Faelrin]

Looks great so far. An excellent choice for their second figure.

[Stegotyranno420]

I love the figure but its too lacking in crocodilian features, when it is a stem crocodile / dinosaur relative

[Flaffy]

I don't think it needs crocodile osteoderms, I am actually glad it doesn't have them.

I feel the same way. Really glad Mesozoo took a fresh approach to Prestosuchus. If only the figure had included the midline osteoderms, then it would be the perfect Prestosuchus figure for me.

Regardless, I'm still going to try and pick up both the Safari and Mesozoo versions. Both are such fantastic figures from what I can see, would be a shame to miss out on one of them.
