Didn't David Silva create a fully articulated Acrocanthosaurus figure a few years back that is now nearly impossible to find, or am I suffering from The Mandela Effect?

avatar_EmperorDinobot @EmperorDinobot The only thing I have been aware of is his Acrocanthosaurus kit, and those articulated raptor kits long before the BotM got started. Maybe that's a question worth asking him about?

I believe you're referring to the GeeneModels one? Definitely not associated with Silva.

How have I not seen that Acro model before?! It is beautiful!

While that is one beautifully done Acrocanthosaurus figure, a quick google search and I am met that this Geene Models is owned/created by none other then Galileo Hernandez, which has certainly acquired infamy around here, and elsewhere as being a scam artist. I recall a lot of discussion in the Edel thread a while back: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=7816.0

Thank you for this note of caution, it's good to protect the community from high risk situations.

Yes! That's the one I meant!


It is unfortunate that the maker is a scamartist. I'm still...looking for one.

Wait, so what exactly did he do that was problematic?

also there's a acrocanthosaurus on this link https://www.facebook.com/BeastSculptKit/photos/ms.c.eJw9ysENACAIA8CNDKVgy~;6L~_TD6vRyUaaZVHLe08EAiBvHBiN1ZfDB3RBzRcw2k.bps.a.281445181870694.89874.113487525333128/1722832881065243 by Creative Beast, but I don't think its that related(no, I do not use facebook)
