PNSO: New For 2021

[MLMjp]

It´s kinda cute not gonna lie

[Eocarcharia]

A species I'm interested in and it's at the old affordable price point? Excellent!

[Halichoeres]

It looks really good. I'm glad they didn't wreck the contours of the face by trying to give it an articulated jaw!

If not for the articulated jaw, obviously the old Dinosaur Train version would have been perfect: https://www.toymadness.com.au/dinosaur-train/dinosaur-train-interaction-mr-cretoxyrhina

Cretoxyrhina - wow another must-have!

[Bokisaurus]

Well done PNSO, what an amazing shark 😃

[Stegotyranno420]

Since those 2020 releases last year, PNSO just feels like a extreme roller coaster, from amazing, to a little bad, to charming, down to the point where everyone feels sick and want the operators to stop, but then it gets fun again with this shark. It's almost fishy(sorry) how good and cheap it is compared the recent models.  I think they realized some of us dont like articulated jaws so that made things easier for them aswell. And no lines ? I guess you can say it SEAMS amazing! (Sorry, again)
Who knows, is a new age of PNSO coming in this style and prices.? I hope so.

It looks like a modern great white but those eyes! THOSE EYES!  And lookie there! Claspers! Looks to be a him

Most reconstructions of Cretoxyrhina have huge eyes.

I think this is a great choice by PNSO, it was a big shark, and will pose very well to their Tylosaurus and Mosasaurus figures.
Glad it isn't just another "Megalodon aka super sized Great white look alike".

I just received Requena the Livyatan and Zaha the Dunkleosteus today.

Both are wonderful models, although I have a feeling that the eyes on Requena are a bit to high. But sperm whales have weird skulls, and it doesn't look that bad. The figure itself is very nice, but hollow and quite light, even soft (you can squeeze the figure).
As for scale, it's either a cow in 1:35th or a bull in 1:50th. Assuming Livyatan was as sexually dimorphic as modern sperm whales, where bulls can be almost twice the size of cows.
All I need now is a small whale figure to stand in for a Cetotherium.

And then Zaha the Dunkleosteus. Wow! When I first saw the publication photo's, it appeared to be a huge salmon or something. But the figure is actually very nice. The opening mouth is fantastic, with not just the lower jaw opening, but the skull as well, as it should in a fish. Fins and tail are very sharklike, as indicated by better preserved fossils from related species.
The armor is covered by skin, so not as obvious as on other toys such as Collecta or Schleich. So not a fish with battlearmor. It's subtle, but you can still identify the individual plates.
The color is great as well, not at all salmon like, but very realistic.

This is cool. The infamous "ginsu" shark.

I'm interested at that price point and the fact that it scales up well with 1:35-1:40 marine animals by other makers too, like the CollectA Mosasaurus and Xiphactinus.

[Abobo]

we may have some plesiosaur in the future pehraps (an some other interesting species) :

[DragonRider02]

Is the long-necked creature below Atopodentatus a Tanystropheus? I really love how it looks, I would definitely be interested in toy version. Especially if they kept the neck and tail's stripes pattern.

[Psittacoraptor]

This is what I want to see from PNSO. Leave your comfort zone for a bit and give me more Paleozoic animals.

[suspsy]

I'd likely buy an Anomalocaris.

[Psittacoraptor]

It looks like either Anomalocaris saron or Amplectobelua, both are from Chengjiang / the Maotianshan Shales in China. I like that they often use local Chinese species for their illustrations (and hopefully figures!).

What is the snake, a Titanoboa ?

[EarthboundEiniosaurus]

What is the snake, a Titanoboa ?

The lateral flattening of the tail makes me think it might be a species of Palaeophis, a large Paleocene-Eocene sea snake.

The possibility of a Protosiren, Ambulocetus, and Palaeophis figure has me excited, lovely to see some Eocene taxa represented! The Protosiren and Palaeophis are especially unique and I would snap them both up in a heartbeat.

[Renecito]

We may also have a Xiphactinus

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Would like to see an Odobenocetops too

[bmathison1972]

OMG if these teasers are going to come out.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes me too!!! a Palaeophis figure would be awesome!!!!

[Bread]

Woah now this is exciting! Glad I recently started to venture outside of dinosaurs and into the prehistoric marine animals of collecting. These concept artworks look beautiful.

What interest me most is the Sea Snake (Palaeophis), Xiphactinus, and the larger Turtle (Archelon?).

@EarthboundEiniosaurus thank you for the identification of the sea snake.

I am still learning and identifying prehistoric marine creatures so bare with me.
