Nanmu - New for 2022

[LBDINO]

They better push this out quickly if they want to cash in on the hype.

I wasn't excited to see it in the movie because of its design, but honestly after watching it in the movie may be the best part

Finally got their Nutcracker Soldier duo. These two actually arrived about a week ago but I was on a trip and unable to properly appreciate them until now.





I don't know if its the fact that they're the spitting image of the original SW maquette but I almost prefer the inclusion of these mini figures to the humans! They'd make great repaints if you wanted some younger animals in your herd. I also love the base of this one. Didn't expect it to have the water effect but I really dig them for that.









I don't usually spring for variants right out of the gate, but since Parasaurolophus is one of my all-time favorite dinosaurs and both boast more or less screen accurate paint decos, it seemed like a reasonable exception. If I had to pick one though? I'd go with the green!

Saw the movie yesterday and after sitting on it for near 24 hours, yeah I'll agree! The Therizinosaurus might have been the standout for me.

About as much as a P1 but not bad.

My favorite was a non film version by the Franklin Mint, I loved that one til my cousin knocked it over and it went in the trash. :/

Yeah it's honestly not a bad price at all, considering it's large size and beautiful sculpt/paint. The fact that it's form Weta makes this as close to 'Made in Middle-Earth' as it gets.

Oh man, are you referring to this one?

A gorgeous tribute to the King under the Mountain! Sorry to hear it had to be scrapped. I don't see many around these days.

A Rexy paint app on the Future King. Limited to 1,000 copies.

I think it'll sell just fine - but the artificial scarcity just tells me they need to incentivize people to buy it for reasons other than what the figure itself has to offer collectors. I'm not too disappointed though - Nanmu has produced enough figures that interested me enough to buy that making a few that I don't care much for is alright by me, especially if they can profit enough from them to produce the figures that I would actually want - like the upcoming Spino, which is looking great so far.

A pass for me, but if you don't already have the 'Once and Future King' and the brown color matches your collection's aesthetic, I see this is a great buy for some. To each their own.

Yep that was him. I think a great definitive version of the book Smaug. If I had him back I could get the Weta piece and I'd only need a figure or statue of the animated one.


I saw BBTS already sold out their preorder of this new Rex. Hope folks enjoy it.

Man..Spino hasn't went up for preorder yet or the Carnotaurus, we have the Giga teased, a pterosaur ( unless they forgot it) and now the JW Therizino?   Starting to feel like Nanmu is the new Rebor?

Nanmu R&D is seeking Divine Redemption after Mordred.

'Mordred'...starting to sound like the average response from their consumer base after every new product announcement that isn't a Spino release date

"Great, more dread..."

Last week I saw an article headline that said Chris Pratt may have hinted that DOMINION might be the last JURASSIC movie. I didn't read the article, but according to today's article about DOMINION, "While the critic's reviews are down to just 31% (4.9/10) on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is up to 80% on that site's audience score and an A- CinemaScore in exit polls."

So it appears that DOMINION will still make a lot of money and that alone should guarantee there will be more JURASSIC movies because the studios want money and then more money.

On the other hand, if DOMINION were to be the last of the JURASSIC movies, then Nanmu might have to go back to releasing non-JURASSIC dinosaurs.

Nanmu could keep making Jurassic Park/World figures for the next three or four years though before running out of species, especially if they remake older ones.

Universal has been pretty clear about this being the last Jurassic movie. It's been a part of the marketing for a good bit.

 I think they've realized the story-telling corner they've painted themselves into, and despite the J-World films maintaining the box office earnings from film-to-film, they've created a scenario where they have to spend $150/$200M to make and market them, and as the movie industry moves from theater-centric, to streaming-centric, the risk starts to get a bit scary. Just one $200M failure can affect these companies for years afterward, even driving them into sale situations, and frankly, Disney doesn't need any more IP.

Make no mistake, they're loving the money they're making right now, as Dominion makes Jurassic Park III's entire worldwide gross in just one weekend, but could they say, make 2 or 3 Camp Cretaceous animated films for 1/3rd the money and make a bunch more bank?

Or...

Have they realized that they could maybe stop making Jurassic movies, so they can crank out something like Turok, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, a DC Comics Savage Land movie or Ark: Survival Evolved without having to compete with their own product?? They canceled a deep in development remake of King Kong in the 1990's, rather than compete with Jurassic, only making it in 2004/5 once Jurassic was dormant.

One thing is obvious, dinosaurs make money at the box-office. I seriously doubt people ran out to theaters to watch some people in their 70's run around the screen with Peter Quill and High Heels McGee.

 Jurassic or not, I don't think cinematic dinosaurs are extinct... yet.

I might be shot for this, but apart from the first film, I don't really care much for the Jurassic IP. I just like dinosaurs.
Give me more movies with a decent special effects budget and I'll watch it. I'd gladly sacrifice the JW series for the possibility to have new dino-centric IP's.

Universal isn't about to shoot themselves in the foot, they've made entire JW themepark lands and attractions. What they meant by conclusion of the Jurassic Era is an end to this story..not that their won't be any future "Jurassic" films, series, animations, ect..

Same. For me the best possible outcome would be JWD flopping so hard that they stop making JW films. It might open up a space for some better dinosaur themed movies, with designs that aren't stuck in the 90s, and scripts that aren't larded with "'member when...?" sequences that keep the audience also stuck in the 90s.

That said, as Blade points out, Nanmu would still have years of material even if this is the last installment in the godforsaken franchise. Even so, it would be nice to see them make some actual dinosaurs one day. And if they made a Dreadnoughtus, I'd probably buy it, unless it's resin. Not looking for a shattered sauropod to be replaced by a tiny glow-in-the-dark one, thanks very much.

Good news for Spino fans like me! "See you in September"

Now when they say "see you in September" does that mean it'll be shipped in September? Or pre-orders happen in September?

Exactly my question. It should be the former..they've had a lot of setbacks this year though so it wouldn't surprise me if it was a preorder for December delivery.

So far this year they have released the Brachio ( I think it was more December? but no biggie), Parasaurolophus, and Mordred is still delayed ( People on Instagram are really hating on it ).  With several more pieces supposedly in the works, this isn't shaping up to be Nanmu's banner year.

[Carnoking]

Seems odd they have to keep pushing back pre-orders when the products seem all but finished. They keep posting these videos and images, yet we still have to wait three more months to even get an order in?

I know they've had production issues with COVID and all. I think they use funds from one project to fund another? I seem to recall that said once, may or may not be true anymore. I really don't think Mordred is working out like they planned. That on top of Brachio issues and everything else..wouldn't surprise me if we have a lot of delays.

I hope they start shipping in September. It would be great to have these new spinos before November. In my country, we have not yet received our baryonyx!    let the POs start even with Mordred in the oven. Anyway, he is almost cooked!

Just recently they said Mordred was delayed due to complex process and surge in orders. I think spino was also delayed as the eyes were "fixed" from having white area in the eye changed to black.
From this:

To this, which they said would be corrected in production process:


Personally I wish they just painted the whole eye green like the 2022 licensed W-Dragon spino, and not just a portion. Maybe by not making the eyes 100% screen-accurate, this is their way to avoid copyright issue?

[Joliezac]

I'm very excited for this new JP3 spino, although does anyone know what the material will be? I know that their Dragon Soul series seems to be resin, but I'm worried because I know quite a few people received a broken brachiosaurus some months ago. In their new post they stated it would be a new material. I just hope it isn't resin..

Not yet, I imagine as you said PVC for the regular release and resin for the DS one. Maybe it will be a combination of both? They need something not as fragile as the straight up resin they used. Though I also think the Brachio mold had some sort of specific issue. They all seemed to break in roughly the same spot?
