GR Toys - New For 2021

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Same here, there's no way I would have bought from aliexpress if I could have gotten it from Everything Dinosaur.

:)We regret the price. After all, the cost is increasing. Before Tyrannosaurus Rex, we will launch a work with more favorable price. Please look forward to it.
Thank you for your attention. We have been trying to do well. We need some time. Thank you.

V @vampiredesign, I'm looking forward to the figure that will come before the Tyrannosaurus!  Since you are connected to GR Toys, I hope it's okay if I tell you what species I'd like to see from GR Toys?  I'd very much like GR Toys to make:

Austroraptor - Seeing the beautiful colouration of the GR Toys Carcharodontosaurus, I can just imagine how good a colourful Austroraptor by GR Toys would look!  Austroraptor has never been made into a figure before.

Herrerasaurus - Such an amazing animal that still doesn't have a good figure version.
  (Image source)

Chasmosaurus belli - A stunning ceratopsoid that for some reason never got a nice accurate figure.  The best might be the Beasts of the Mesozoic action figure, but it gets the skin wrong (compare it to C. belli's skin shown here: https://archive.org/details/cbarchive_105265_integumentofchasmosaurusbelli1925/page/n3/mode/2up?view=theater ).

Ceratosaurus nasicornis - Papo's Ceratosaurus is C. dentisulcatus, so the nicest C. nasicornis is the Wild Safari from 2012.  I really like that Ceratosaurus figure but it's feet are much too big as can be seen in the image below.
  (Image source)

Xiongguanlong - I'd love to see a fully feathered version of this fascinating tyrannosauroid!  I appreciate CollectA's attempt to make it, but their version is permanently attached to a base, has a featherless underside and hips that are too far apart as can be seen in the image below.

Utahceratops - Another striking ceratopsoid that would look great if GR Toys made it.
  (Image source)

Gastonia - I was looking forward to a colourful Gastonia from Battat, but it looks like it won't ever be released sadly.  It makes sense for Gastonia to be colourful as it lived in herds and was well protected from the apex predator of its ecosystem, Utahraptor.  GR Toys has shown how well they do colourful dinosaurs and I'm sure they can do a stunning Gastonia.  The Battat Gastonia prototype can be seen below.

Anchiceratops - Another ceratopsoid that looks striking and needs a good model.

Their next figure will most likely be a Kem Kem dinosaur, since Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Dicreaosaurus are all from that area. Thinking Deltadromeus

[ceratopsian]

Dicraeosaurus hansemanni and D. sattleri are known from the Late Jurassic Tendaguru Formation in Tanzania.  I'm aware of a PhD project in Berlin currently in progress to re-describe the dicraeosaurid material.  I haven't been able to find any reference to Dicraeosaurus coming from the Albian-Cenomanian Kem Kem beds of Morocco - have you found something, @GojiraGuy1954?  There seem to be a few indeterminate bits and pieces from Zimbabwe and the Sudan too.

[Sim]

GR Toys isn't making species from only one formation, Dicraeosaurus and Tyrannosaurus are not from the Kem Kem Group.  Deltadromeus is very fragmentary, its appearance is unknown, it's not even known what kind of theropod it is.  Deltadromeus is one of the worst choices for making into a figure.

V @vampiredesign do you guys have any social media page or website that we can check for updates?

At present, there is no international platform. Thank you for your tolerance and understanding.
"好龙谷"HAOLONGGOOD,U.S. trademark is currently being registered.At this stage, we are trying to do a good job in product and scientific recovery design.
I will announce new product information in this forum as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention and support. We still have a lot of work to do.

[ceratopsian]

Perhaps it is worth adding here part of vampiredesign's clarification as to the relationship between GR Toys and Haolonggood, which he put in my collection thread.  My guess is that it will be seen more here!  "GR：Agents and distributors。HAOLONGGOOD:Design Manufacturer（factory），牧蜥：It is also a cooperative brand".  I think those characters at the end read Mu-xi.

[Sim]

@Psittacoraptor Thanks for sharing the video. In my case I disagree with your opinion. I like the red GR Toys carcharodontosaurus better even if the other one is blue or bluish and that is my favorite color.

I agree with you @Shonisaurus.  I also prefer the orange Carcharodontosaurus and blue is my favourite colour.  The blue Carcharodontosaurus has lots of it that isn't blue, instead it's yellow,  purple, orange, white...  A figure I feel does blue better is the great Carnegie Giganotosaurus.  I would like a figure from GR Toys that is more blue.  I'm imagining a blue Utahceratops could look good!

[Concavenator]

Surprised no one has posted the image of a possible new GR Toys azhdarchid (Quetzalcoatlus?). Paleofiguras posted it, and it has appeared on Baidu as well. This might be the figure that was coming before the T.rex.

It looks very good, but I'm personally not interested in a pterosaur, and I already have a Quetzalcoatlus myself.

[Sim]

I'm disappointed.  Azhdarchids look like a cross between a bat and a stork, there's nothing interesting about them to me.  It's so frustrating how they keep getting attention while the in my opinion much more interesting rhamphorhynchids get neglected.

[ITdactyl]

This?


I created a separate Musee thread for this figure (and the one being chomped on by a rex) - I wasn't aware it was made for GRtoys or haolonggood. Reading the post by Paleofiguras, maybe GRtoys or Haolonggood are trying to get the rights for the mass produced toy version. I got this picture from a seller who has 6 unpainted resin copies of that Quetz and is selling them for 34 USD each.

This is the image shared by Paleofiguras

[Psittacoraptor]

Oh, this is definitely more interesting than another T-rex. More pterosaurs is always good. I like that one, except the very unsightly seam/gap on the jaw.

[suspsy]

Not too shabby!

[Halichoeres]

If I were to pick a pterosaur to be made, it wouldn't be an azhdarchid. Still, it's a very nice figure, and I'm excited any time a company dips its toes into non-dinosaurs.

[Faelrin]

That's a beautiful pterosaur (in both pics), whatever it is.

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

I'm disappointed.  Azhdarchids look like a cross between a bat and a stork, there's nothing interesting about them to me.

So, to everyone this is different. To me, Azhdarchids are super interesting Animals.

There is not a really good and affordable Model i like (I have the Kaiyodo Quetz., but it is a bit too small. But great.)
I prefer Pterosaurs in a Ground position and with a Base (I love Bases.). But that is always too expensive (Resin Statues) for me. I would have to measure it, but it always feels a bit like, as if the folded Wings are to small on most Figures.

Looking forward to new Pictures and Info on that Figure.


These Photos look wonderful. Not the biggest Fan of the Articulation, but i guess we are used to that and again: There are a lot of People who actually like this. I would think.

[ITdactyl]

Posting a clarification (because I don't want to end up misleading anyone).

The first picture I shared is a painted 1/35 resin figure by Musee. It's available for purchase on Taobao. I haven't seen it listed anywhere else.

The second picture was posted by Paleofiguras on Facebook and seems to be a promo image by Haolonggood.  We know Musee studios collaborates with Haolonggood (and given the similarities in the detail and pose of the 2 figs), so Haolonggood producing a toy version of Musee's resin statue doesn't seem strange.

Paleofiguras says that the scale is also 1/35 - but I don't have access to Haolonggood's original post (probably on tieba baidu?) so I can't cross check. Here's a really poor youtube screen grab, just to give you an idea how tiny the original is compared to Musee's other statues. Well, I say tiny but probably just the right size for those who lack shelf space (like me).


On the topic of preferences, I'm obviously an azhdarchid nut - but I do agree that the other pterosaur groups need quality toy representation.

[ceratopsian]

I ordered the Musee resin through Dinosaur Darkroom on Facebook - he's a good way of sourcing that sort of thing.  Regarding the Haolonggood version, it is perhaps worth quoting the following translation of Paleofiguras' post: "... there is a controversy surrounding the rights to mass production by those involved in the development of this figure so not yet it's very defined if it's official."
