Don't worry, more reveals on the 11th/ 12th.

Of course not. CollectA always spaces out their reveals over the course of November.

Apologies if by me posting information on a store selling these when released caused any concerns for these three being the only 2022 prehistoric CollectA figures. I can see why it caused some confusion as you would think the store wouldn't list these until all have been revealed.

More images of the Spinosaurus. The hands are indeed positioned like a dog's. I'm guessing CollectA is sticking with the old notion that the animal was quadrupedal on land. It's disappointing, but not enough to make me not like the toy.

Love it! Even with the front limbs looking like its performing a doggie paddle, it looks like a promising Spinosaurus.

I think CollectA did this on purpose. If the front limbs were more tucked under, the animal would be laying on its chin or under jaw.

November 11th or November 12th for more reveals. As stated by @suspsy, CollectA spread out their reveals throughout November.

The wrists look pronated at a glance, but I think that's actually the entire arms being held at a weird angle?

Maybe? Guess we won't be able to tell for sure until the toy comes out.

I kind of dig the weird Paraceratherium hair patches. Reminds me of shedding Bactrian camels. Slightly disappointing that we're getting another Pteranodon and Spinosaurus so soon, but I don't mind as much as long as the next reveals are of similar quality.

Yes, the Bactrian camel image popped into my mind too. I'm not put off by it.

Despite the broken wrists (I wonder if there's a way to correct that with hot water?) I really like the Spinosaurus, I will be getting it to replace my Safari Ltd 2019 Spinosaurus and my PNSO 2020 Spinosaurus.
The Paraceratherium is a nice interesting figure and I will be getting that one too, it looks to be to scale with my 3d printed Aceratherium. I will be keeping the huge IToy version as well.
I'm not getting their 2021 Pteranodon because I prefer the smaller Safari Ltd one, but I will get this 2022 one to replace my Bullyland Pteranodon sternbergi as well.

[Sim]

I saw a larger image of the CollectA Pteranodon sternbergi and I noticed there's a small gap between the cheek, throat pouch and beak.  I hope that isn't present on the final figure, it spoils the figure when it has a gap you can see through.  The Papo Ceratosaurus has it and it's quite disappointing.

Gonna need more angles on those Spinosaurus wrists. Not really sure if they are pronated or not, which I think would be rather odd for CollectA to get wrong at this point in time.

Anyways I saw an ad or post on instagram from CollectA calling the Paraceratherium a Deluxe 1:20 scale figure, which is strange, as the much larger I-Toy one is roughly so. Plugging the dimensions of this and the animal in a scale calculator puts this one around the 1:30-1:35 range, which I think is a really decent size still, but again too small to be 1:20 like the I-Toy one.

And while I'm far too familiar with CollectA always doing that (advertising something in a scale it isn't in), I wish they would stop doing this as it is misleading. Would be better to just sell it in the Deluxe range with no scale.

Yes, a rough, quick estimate on my part gave a 1/34 for the Paraceratherium. For me, this will group it with my 1/35-1/40 collection of Cenozoic  mammals, not the 1/20ish one.  I wish that it wasn't necessary to display them this way, but since I am concerned with similarity of scale, give or take, there's no other "cure in a can."

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

I do find it annoying the insist on calling of the Cenozoic and Paleozoic animals 1:20 scale and dinosaurs 1:40 scale when they are nowhere near.

That said with CollectA calling their 1:35 scale Paraceratherium 1:20 scale, whilst IToy call their 1:20 scale Paraceratherium 1:35 scale which is ironic, but if you have both it evens out I suppose.

[suspsy]

I don't pay any attention to the scales that CollectA assigns its toys.

[SidB]

It is peculiar that CollectA persists in this designation of scales , when they obviously have little or no intention to abide by it!
