I wonder if that damn virus is going to affect the release window?

It already HAS, on a lot of stuff coming out of China...

Ooh the mosasaur is gonna be bigger than I expected. Not to scale of course but I expected as much.

[JAGzilla]

Nanmu figures are a little pricey for me, but I am paying attention to that upcoming Apatosaurus. If it's not much more than $100 shipped, I might bite. Maybe.

Yeah, 2 feet+ is a pretty healthy...

The REBOR GNG Komodo Dragon came in. I ordered it from Amazon, as even though Everything Dinosaur's price was better, the shipping from the UK ruined it. $25.99, + free shipping. An impressive piece, to say the least. I am looking forward to REBOR's Grab N Go T-Rex( es )and their Spinosaurus as well. I daresay, I may find myself collecting the GNG line. It's THAT nice...

I completely agree, the GNG 1/6th Komodo (which Rebor points out also functions perfectly well as a 1/18th scale Megalania) is a fantastic debut piece for the Grab'N'Go line of hollow vinyl figures.




I'm super anxious to get my hands on the GNG Rex and Spino. I'll have to get at least two of the Rex colors, the Dinosaur Revolution version and the Sideshow color... they're just too good looking, and I'm a sucker for a sweet T.rex...

[MandaSaurus]

Yah, that Dinosaur Revolution 'Rex is too cool to pass up...

It has been announced that REBOR's Titanoboa is coming in MAY...

[Tyrant_Lizard_King]

I'm still waiting on their 2005 Kong.

Yeah, but...

Monty is not a toy but rather a experimental collectables item, his is made of a special composite thermoplastic rubber that will not crack, melt or degrade. Normally this type of material is used on seamless muscle bodies for high-end 1:6 scale figures that cost hundreds of pounds and the reasonable retail price of this figure+accessory is around £80 but since we've already spent a fortune on this project breakeven is no longer possible at this point, plus we fear people who don't understand all kinds of difficulties we've been through to make this product possible will call us greedy so we might as well just offer them as gifts to our fans and list this product at the same price as Killer Queen and Vanilla Ice. However the problem is the more copies we manufacture and sell the more money we'll lose so unfortunately this product will be very limited and we can't guarantee that there will be one for everybody, guess it'll have to be first come first served."

[MandaSaurus]

IOW, get one while you can...

[ApexOversteer]

IOW, get one while you can...

... or IF you can... if I wanted one, I'd be watching my preferred Rebor sources like a hawk for the Pre-Order...

I'm going to skip the Titanoboa myself, focus on the GNG Rex, and the main line Adult Triceratops, King Trident, hoping to see that this year. Probably going for the Nanmu Mosasaurus too...

[MandaSaurus]

I'm still waiting on their 2005 Kong.

I'm not. The SHMA 2005 Kong filled all my gorilla/King Kong needs. Focusing on KSI and Godzilla vs Kong stuff these days...

[Tyrant_Lizard_King]

Still kinda mad at myself I didn't get one when he was still relatively cheap.

Took your lead and went to the nearest Kohl's. Scored me an extra Sauropelta and Velociraptor Charlie.

FYI, the Wave 1 Primal Attack Savage Strike case breakdown is as follows:

2 Velociraptor Blue
2 Velociraptor Charlie
1 Tapejara
1 Sauropelta

Anyone happen to know the case breakdown for Wave 2? All I know is that the Postosuchus and re-paint Pachycephalosaurus is in it...

Well, my Amber Collection Blue just arrived. Playing around with it, it's a neat little figure. It's not quite the NECA-level Jurassic Park stuff I desperately want, but I guess it's close enough that it will have to do. Honestly, my only primary gripe with it is the teeth. They just look so... cheap. Almost ruins the entire look of the thing when the mouth is displayed open. Hopefully this will be fixed for future releases, but I still plan on getting the Dilophosaurus and probably the standard raptor.

I'd give it a solid 3/5.

- Sculpt is good enough.
- Paint is good.
- Articulation is good... except for rubber tail.
- Teeth are an eyesore and ruin the look when displayed mouth open.
- Cost is a bit high for a figure that seems "cheaper" than your typical NECA.
