CollectA--New for 2021

[Wallnut]

So we know that this figure is 46 cm in lenght I write 5 different scale estimates based on length of the figure.
M.Jingyanensis:  20-26 m lower estimate:1:43 scale upper estimate: 1:56 scale
M.Sinocanadorum 35 m 1:76 scale
M.hochuanensis 22 m 1:47
M.constructus 13 1:28

What a beautiful Mamenchisaurus, It's just as magnificent as PNSO one!!!.

[Faelrin]

Well I guess I will certainly be adding this one to my wishlist. I think the size is actually just right for me, and I like that it could stand in as one of its smaller species (since I don't think I have anything else in my collection at like 1:100 scale, except maybe some mini figures maybe).

[Duna]

That figure fits perfectly with their Brontosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Bajadasaurus and Diplodocus in my shelf. And Eofauna Atlasaurus, Safari Nigersaurus and Camarasaurus. It's the perfect size for me. The PNSO figure with that neck held straight was imposible for me to fit it.
This will be my only Collecta figure this year, along with Doedicurus.

I really dislike video reviews, but I skipped through the Xiphactinus one on mute and I'm glad to see that it's suitably elongate. The stock photo made it look a little stubby, but it was definitely just the angle.

Hah, same in regards to video reviews. That's why Dinosaur Toy Blog is such a valuable resource for me.

Great to see the new models in hand though! I really like both of them, I am so happy to see companies still care about non-dinosaurian prehistoric animals.

[Shonisaurus]

It is by far the best mamenchisaurus figure on the market today. The size is not as big as one would like but it is bulky. I said the best figure that exists of mamenchisaurus. Together with the doedicurus and the pteranodon the best figures of Collecta in the year 2021.

[Dusty Wren]

Wow, okay, the Mamenchisaurus looks far better in the video than it did in photos. Hmm, I might end up getting it after all. It has a gracefulness about it, which isn't something you see in a lot of sauropod figures.

[BlueKrono]

Okay, I wasn't going to get Big M, but after seeing that video I think I will. Wonder why they went with osteoderms on a Mamenchisaurus...? I think I'll paint them to make them stand out a little more.

These must be coming in waves because so far Minizoo has the Kamuysaurus and Megalosaurus.

Just ordered a Kamuysaurus myself.

Ooooh, just noticed something about the Dilophosaurus! Looks to be inspired by the Jurassic Park novel.

It's not the first to do so, the UKRD "Utahraptor" is based on the Dinamation Dilophosaurus which was based on the Jurassic Park novel Dilophosaurus.

Do you mean the AAA?

Got an email from Minizoo tonight. The Neovenator, the Mamenchisaurus, and the Brontosaurus corpse will be in stock next month. All other 2021 toys will be available in July.

[Stegotyranno420]

Yes, sorry if this has been answered before, but does anyone know the price and availability on Amazon?

[Halichoeres]

Now I'm trying to see what else MiniZoo has in stock that I might want, to justify an order.

Amazon doesn't usually get CollectA for several months after initial release, and because it's always third-party sellers, the prices tend to fluctuate.

Also, if you want them to be decently priced, you'll have to see what Reeves decides is worth selling domestically.

Amazon has been just AWFUL for Collecta for years now. They don't have anything more recent than a few years ago, and what models they do have always seem to be priced at least twice what they go for on other websites, if not more. I strongly recommend going with another vendor for any and all Collecta purchases. Everything Dinosaur, Minizoo, Dan's Dinosaurs, The Dinosaur Farm, and Happy Hen are all good options.

[Loon]

Breyer's site is also good, depending on what you want, since it's only what they release domestically. Overall, Happy Hen is probably your best bet for a domestic site. Still, I usually go with Everything Dinosaur, since they aren't all that expensive if you aren't buying a ton of figures.

[Loon]

I don't know if this has been answered, or honestly, if I've asked it before. But, how does the Elasmosaurus hold up in terms of accuracy? I currently have the Thalassomedon and think it hits the looks far better, but I'm no expert.
