[LBDINO]

Are m see studio and gr toys related companies?

Are m see studio and gr toys related companies?

'Anyone got a definitive answer to LBDINO's query? I'm also curious if the partnership is indeed official.

On another note, is the entire GR Toys line composed only of high-end figures (re: for the expensive, serious collector market) or do they also have children's toys?

Don't we have someone from GR Toys posting?

I can't remember if Musee Studios is actually mentioned on the box, I'll try to check the box at some point. I know that at first, at least on Dan's site, Musee was the name being used in descriptions.

I was curious because there paint schemes seem very similar. I also saw the
T rex/Quetzalcoatlus diorama M see studio created and figured that this t rex would probably be very close to what we will get from gr toys down the road.

L @LBDINO I'll post images of that diorama later today. Honestly the color scheme on it looks amazing, and my only issue is the size of the Tyrannosaurus' head, looks a tad too small, but I could be mistaken.

My review of the Dicraeosaurus for Paleo-Nerd

[SidB]

Thank you, L @Leyster , for another precise, objective and  informative review. Looks like I'll have to modify the paint on the rear toes  , which is no great chore.

[Leyster]

S @SidB glad you like it!

Thank you, great review of a great model!

[Concavenator]

I was recently thinking about this company and how they were going to release a Tyrannosaurus and another model before it, which was rumoured to be a Quetzalcoatlus...  Any news about this? V @vampiredesign 

I was thinking about Vitae too. Around this time last year they released some models (Tiantaiosaurus, Jinyunpelta...) out of the blue, when they were thought to be long dead already. I'm not saying this is going to happen again, but then I also remember what Rebor said about the Vitae boycott.

I got my first models from these two companies this year and I love them. Would love to see more from them, but I don't know what could have happened to both of them.

[Psittacoraptor]

I, too, hope the Quetzalcoatlus will see the light of day. We need more good pterosaurs figures.

[Sim]

I've also been thinking about GR Toys.  I recently opened my order that contained the GR Toys orange Carcharodontosaurus.  I really like this figure and I'd like more from this company.  At this point I'd even be happy to see their Tyrannosaurus.  I hope the people behind this company are doing well.

Why is the material that my GR toys Carcharodontosaurus really soft and pliable. Did I receive an outlier?

I think so, mine is almost resin like in pliablity.

[Fembrogon]

Resin is pliable? Huh, somehow I had it in my head that resin tended to be hard and rigid.

It depends. I have some hollow resin Kaiyodo kits that are almost plastic-like. Solid resin figures tend to be harder and more brittle. Nothing like that polystone that Sideshow uses for so many of their sculptures though. That stuff shatters if you look at it funny. Would be nice if more companies went the high-quality plastic route.

I was under the impression the hollow Kaiyodo kits are vinyl, not resin.

I interpreted Leyster to be saying it's hardly pliable (or not at all pliable), since they were saying "I think so" to GigantosaurusFan's question about whether their very pliable Carcharodontosaurus toy was an "outlier". My Carcharodontosaurus is a little pliable on the thin part of the tail but otherwise very rigid.

You might be right about that. But my pieces that I know are resin, like my Shane Foulkes pieces, are still more durable than polystone or ceramics like porcelain. I wouldn't describe them as pliable though.

D'oh, I think you're right; that'll teach me to just skim before replying.
I might have learned a little more about resin during this tangent, though.
