EoFauna Tyrannosaurus will be a masterpiece

I'm all in on eofauna, I'll continue to auto-buy whatever they make, gotta support a smaller company like this that only wants to produce accurate educational toys for children and collectors.  I know it's not their MO to make something like a T-rex but I would love to have one from them.  I  hope they make one at some point.

You never know. They've been delving into more familiar territory more recently, with their Triceratops and Diplodocus.
Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

I'm waiting to order the Eofauna diplodocus and konobelodon from my Alcaiceria store but I'm waiting for the Collecta, Safari, Papo, Mojo or Schleich dinosaurs to appear on your shopping list to pre-order them. Shipping is free from 70 euros.

Every time I say Konobelodon I say it like "Kono Dio Da". Does anyone else do that or is it just me?

Hi, just an update on the Diplodocus. The sales person from Alcaiceria has told me the figure has been delayed a bit and they expect to receive it in March. :D

Blade-of-the-Moon

I'm thinking to order from DansDinosaurs.com on this one.  Just waiting to pull the trigger til I get some leeway in expenditures.

I wonder if the Konobelodon is similarly delayed. No big deal really if it is.

Don't you guys normally get Eofauna stuff sooner than everywhere else?  If it's March for you that means late March early April everywhere else?

I don't mind waiting either.  It's Eofauna so we're always going to wait patiently for that next figure anyways.  And they are always worth the wait!  Counting these two, Eofauna has cut 8 different molds in 5 years or about 1.6 figures per year.  Anybody that's been collecting Eofauna from the beginning knows what to expect.   So waiting an extra month or two because of shipping delays is really not that big of a deal IMO.

Oh, not really, Eofauna makes sure most or at least some countries receive it at the same time (I think that's very nice of them). Some of the forum members from other countries posted their triceratops pics in hand the same day Alcaiceria received/released theirs. I even got mine a few days after that because of the shipping.

While I'm not sure when exactly the Diplodocus will release, I am stalking a listing by spielzeug-guenstig for 30€ (with free shipping on orders over 50€). Sounds like a good deal!

So we're all in the same boat, waiting for those two amazing figures ;)  Gives me another month to set some cash aside too.

I also have it ordered in Alcaiceria and they told me that it will not be available until March, so we will have to wait. I like both his diplodocus and his konobelodon equally, the diplodocus because I like sauropods and Eofauna has done a great one in the past like the atlasaurus and in this case the diplodocus is even much bigger and with a few touches of paint judging by the photos of the very good prototypes and the konobelodon because apart from the fact that I like prehistoric mammals to rage, this species of elephant is a unique species in the toy dinosaur market and the Eofauna elephants are all beautiful. I also highly value the price of both figures, which are not very expensive for the first-rate quality that both figures represent in terms of sculpture and painting.

Hi, I asked him about the Konobelodon and it's expected on February, but probably be delayed until March. But the delay is not confirmed as the diplodocus.

Not a figure, but avatar_Eofauna @Eofauna have announced this (translated to spanish) version of their sauropod encyclopedia:

https://twitter.com/Eofauna/status/1494298436325232640

Check out that unique Giraffatitan on the cover! If I had known a spanish version was coming, I wouldn't have gotten the english version for Christmas.  ::)

Figure-wise I am hoping that Andrey Atuchin will take care of the color schemes for their figures from now on, just like he did with the Diplodocus. Their other figures' colors are nice, but I clearly see having him as a boost.

Shonisaurus

avatar_Concavenator @Concavenator You've given me good news, so Asier Larramendi's book on sauropods has already been translated into Spanish? They told me at the Natural Sciences Museum Store that a dinosaur book would be available in February of this year, but they didn't tell me which one. It's good news. It is a must buy for me. I hope that Asier Larramendi and Andrey Atuchin continue to publish more books over time and my dream is that the next one will be focused on armored dinosaurs (ceratopsids, thyrophores, ankylosaurids, marginocephalia and hadrosaurids). It would be great, a book of those herbivorous dinosaurs in Spanish and English, for daydreaming...

Duna

Wow, that's very good news! :D Thanks avatar_Concavenator @Concavenator I was waiting for it. Do you know if it includes Patagotitan?

Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)

I'm a little confused about the sauropod encyclopedia; I was under the impression that a Spanish version ALREADY existed prior to the English version.

The Spanish version has been delayed, Asier Larramendi preferred to edit the first edition of sauropods in English. Now he has decided to edit it and the edition is supposed to be in May according to the news on twitter, which is a blessing for friends of dinosaurs in the Spanish language as it is my house but a curse for my pocket.

Yep, Patagotitan is mentioned several times in the book. There's also a beautiful illustration of it next to other species.

It's the other way around, actually.
