GR Toys - New For 2021

[Duna]

@Concavenator I've bought some PNSO figures from My Online Toy Store in Aliexpress and they are totally recommendable (along with Model Toy Center). Ask always for Aliexpress Standard Shipping (it does not charge customs extra) and you'll get them in less that 2 weeks normally.

Thanks for the reference, @Duna !
I have also noticed the free shipping when selecting that shipping method. Certainly nice!

Anyone knows if these GR figures are limited edition? I can find the new Carcharodontosaurus on AliExpress, but not their Spinosaurus anymore.

Thanks! So it seems they're not limited edition after all.

Aliexpress' search function is pretty bad. Often you won't find the products you're looking for if you type in the English description. It's best to bookmark the stores that carry dinosaur model brands and check them for products you want.

I can recommend

Model Toy Center: https://de.aliexpress.com/store/1196221 (the only store the still has the GR Spinosaurus, as Leyster already posted)
My Online Toy Store: https://de.aliexpress.com/store/626558
Jurassic Zoo Store: https://de.aliexpress.com/store/911731161

photos of the 1/20 version
it's a beauty :

That is gorgeous. Are these photos from GR Toys themselves or a personal collector? Definitely looks like they're flexing on that PNSO figure even though it's far from a fair comparison. This reminds me, any updates on the orange version of the smaller figure? Thought we would have seen something by now...

[Abobo]

it's on sale on aliexpress
photos from the store I suppose (unboxed)
the orange variant for the 1/35 will be available apparently june 22

[SenSx]

That size OO

Love the level of detail and the paint quality, the dynamic pose as well.
The blue eyes are a nice little touch in contrast with the rest of the color scheme.

Video review of the flame version Carcharodontosaurus. Looks very nice but I prefer the blue one.

This channel is great btw.

@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.

@Abobo , love those landscape shots, especially the one with the city panorama in the background. Reminds me of the JP image of the roaring T-rex in San Diego, perched on a rocky outcropping.

[Carnoking]

It is nice to see them both side by side but I am a bit disappointed with how the flame variant turned out. When looking at the promo images, I felt that the blue variant had a bit too much going on in terms of color and the flame variant felt a bit more balanced and naturalistic. I don't know if the final product just got rushed or what but the application of color on these seems night and day. I guess I'm going to end up going with the blue version

I received my GR Toys Charcardontosaurus today! It's quite stunning in person, with the scale detail coming through that amazing paint. The material is a bit stiffer than say PNSO, or REBOR. It's much closer in feel to Nanmu's material.

Is it just me, or has family Carcharodontosauridae enjoyed the best paint apps from the various companies lately? IMO, the Nanmu Blue Giga is Nanmu's best painted figure to date, and the PNSO Carchar has a better paint app than most of their recent offerings. Finally, GR Toys and Haolong Good have really raised the bar for toy/model dinosaur colorways with their Blue Carchar.

[Shonisaurus]

My congratulations. Magnificent carcharodontosaurus I wish I had it too, although I hope to prioritize spending on other dinosaurs before I get it. I'm glad for you.

[Concavenator]

Paleofiguras has posted on Facebook a pic of a lot of their Dicraeosaurus models in the factory (?). They say they're expecting it to be ready between the 8th and 10th of August. They also said there are rumours their next model will be a Tyrannosaurus and that it might be available this year.

[Bread]

A Tyrannosaurus?
This figure could be more accurate than PNSO's Wilson and Rebor's. My fear would be the price...

[Carnoking]

Lana Time is taking pre-orders. Going to hold off until I see some additional in-hand photos in case my mind is changed as it was with the Carchar
