Thank you so much for your support! ❤️🦖 It is greatly appreciated, and it's lovely to hear when people enjoy my videos! I'd love to do a full review of this rex, but don't know when I'd ever get around to it 🙈 Hopefully I will sometime, but in the meantime I can tell you this T. rex is my absolute favourite dinosaur toy EVER, and I do recommend it! 😊 However, it is very large and expensive, and the base it comes with really isn't much use, so the stand that CBS are currently developing for it will also be a necessary purchase. I'm currently using a shortened Gundam stand for mine, but the rex still shifts a little under her own weight, especially when it's hot, and can tip over, so I kept her somewhere where she cannot fall and get scuffed (or injure anyone, she weighs a LOT 🙀) You'll also have to factor in a parts box for the interchangeable pieces when you're not using them to keep them all together 😊 Negatives aside, this is the most impressive dinosaur toy I've EVER seen! 😻 The articulation is good, the interchangeable parts aren't too difficult to swap around, the paint quality is top-notch and is durable, and the sheer presence of this figure, of having a rex who's been reconstructed on scientific data and measurements at this scale is awesome!! I hope this helps 😊 Thank you again! 🦖🦖

@@aeonfire82 thank you so much!! And don’t worry, I understand, it’s a big figure so it’d be a bit of a pain to review haha. I did hear about the issues some people were having with stability and holding certain poses, so I’m glad David took the time to resolve these issues with the upcoming stand. And again thank you for your insight, it’s really really helpful, and I think you’ve convinced me to finally pull the trigger on it!!😌

Oh no, thank you! I really appreciate that, I thought she was AMNH, but I must have her mixed-up with something else 🫢 I used to spend a lot of time following palaeo folk on social media and that kept me right with the facts, but these days I'm largely away from all social media and so, I'm very out of touch, and sadly likely to remain so. So any facts and discussion from people who are genuine, and who are genuinely interested in the subject, and are willing to engage are most welcome! 🤗 I would love to see Sue for myself some day. What a wonder that would be! Thank you for watching! ❤️🦖

@@aeonfire82​​⁠no problem! I often have to Google things I think I know just to make sure!!😂 I understand..I’m out of touch with social media these days too. If you do get a chance, I would highly recommend visiting the Field Museum. We recently got a Spinosaurus which is apparently the only one in the western hemisphere. I love your videos, and keep doing what you do! 🦖🦖😊

@annieb.829 awwww, thank you so much! 🤗🦖 I really appreciate that, the toy dinosaurs that are available now are the stuff of my childhood dreams. I don't have a hugely extensive collection nor the knowledge any more, but the love is still very much there, and it's fun to share! ❤️ The field museum looks and sounds utterly amazing, and it's definitely on my list of hopes for the future! 😊 Thank you so much for your support! 🤗🦖

Thank you so much! 🦖❤️

Thank you for watching! 😊🦖 This is a brilliant figure, it's great to hear it getting some love!

Cheers, me dear! 😸🦖 That is the right answer of course...and although Scotty is currently a mystery, I'm sure he'll also live up to very high expectations when he lands! 🦖

That's mad! 😸 It's such a complex pattern, who would have thought two manufacturers would even dare to attempt it?? Especially a company that makes humble vinyl dollar store figures! I'd like to see that! 😊 I think it's based on a Gila Monster, but I believe there may be another reptile with similar colours and patterns, too 🤔 Either way, it works beautifully well for Sue, here! Thank you for watching ❤️🦖

I couldn't agree more! 🦖❤️ This is a truly outstanding figure from Eofauna, there is a strong good reason for every choice they've made with this reconstruction, and it's such good value, too! The removable base is a stroke of genius; Sue here stands without it, broadening display options, but with it, she'll never distort and fall and we'll always be able to put her right. Even the stands provided with PNSO figures sometimes fall short of adequately supporting the figures themselves, especially in hot weather (some of mine are suffering with that currently)! But there honestly has never been a better time to be a dinosaur toy collector, it's an embarrassment of riches for us. Space and finances are our only limit! 😊🦖❤️

Honestly the more I look at it, the more I love it and appreciate what they've done, here! 😻🦖

It's certainly the primitive condition! 😊 There are a lot of very good reasons why Sue here looks the way she looks, Eofauna have really done their research here, as you'd expect. Their decisions may be jarring to some, but they're based on the reality of what they had to work with. She doesn't look "mammalian" at all to my eyes which has been a criticism, and I don't think it's surprising that she looks odd to a lot of people, given her facial anatomy. She is a brilliant practical exercise in the application of knowledge and inference! Definitely my new favourite T. rex 😊🦖

She's certainly fantastic value, as well as a brilliant new take on a genus that's been reworked SO many times!! I hope you're able to convince yourself to take the plunge, there is size variation in the genus, after all 😇 It is difficult to work around our personal barriers but believe me, it is possible, and it's not "masking" anything, I truly believe that from my experiences with my own difficulties 😊 Thank you for continuing to support my reviews! 🦖❤️

Thank you so much! ❤️ I totally agree, we're very lucky to have this beautiful representation and I'm delighted to find that others appreciate it so much, too 😊

@@aeonfire82 I also liked your comment on the wallowing in the mud. I've just received my figure today and had gotten the newer "whitewashed" version from Amazon I've seen many have been groggling about. The older one you've got is gorgeous and was somewhat disappointed when I didn't receive that version but now I almost prefer the new paint application seeing as my new head cannon is that it's just dried mud he's been rolling in to keep cool.

@samspeaks2016 either way it's utterly gorgeous, congrats on getting him! ❤️ There are a lot of lovely ankylosaurids now, but this one is still my favourite 😊

Thank you for the suggestion, I've never done a video like that! 😊🦖

Adopt me to be your son. Hehee. I will happy if i have mom like a dinosaur same with me 😂😂😂

Thank you, never stop loving dinosaurs!! 🦖❤️ All Haolonggood dinosaurs are wonderful, I wish I had the space for them all! Especially the sauropods, which are some of the greatest ever made ❤️ I am sorry though, I don't know if I can get the Mamenchisaurus. My Alamosaurus needs so much space and my collection has outgrown the space I can give it. It is a wonderful problem to have, though! 😊🦖🦖

Thank you very much! ❤️🦖

Thank you so much! ❤️🦖

They weren't fixed to the ribcage, however they were limited in movement by the other dermal structures around them! Rather like a suit of medieval armour and chainmail 😊 I think the confusion came from the spines being scattered around the fossil, rather than preserved as they were in life, as with Borealopelta. I suspect that the Safari Ltd version is accurate, as PNSO do sometimes use contradictory information for their models!

Ah, I knew it looked familiar, I've never seen a horny toad in life but I'm familiar with them from wildlife documentaries! 😊 Pinacosaurus must have really reminded PNSO of that lovely little lizard, they're not known for adventurous paint schemes after all, but this one is a beauty! Do you have a favourite among this selection? ❤️🦖

@@aeonfire82 The second pair.. really nice.

Thank you, the necklace is a birthday gift from my mum! The top with the dinosaur/jungle print is a full dress, from a brand called Dolly & Dotty, who do a lot of different dinosaur prints across their range 😊🦖 www.dollyanddotty.co.uk/search?q=Dinosaur

It's such a graceful model, isn't it? Definitely one of the outstanding sculpts in the original line. I'm sure your sculpt is excellent, as well as original! 😊 You never know, some day may bring good fortune for you with the Battat figure. Thank you for watching, and thank you for the birthday wishes! 🤗🦖

Thank you very much! And thank you for watching 😊❤️🦖

@@aeonfire82 np I really enjoyed the video love those figures as well 😀

@cosminbryant1243 if you say things like that, I'll keep making them 😆❤️ Seriously though I really do appreciate it, it's wonderful to engage with people who adore these things as much as I do, and these are all REALLY lovely figures! I mean, how cool are thyreophorans?? Especially the living tanks?? 😻 And here they are, brilliantly brought to life for us all all. Tremendous!

It's OK to not like ANY of them, if you don't..! 😊 I only buy figures that I do like. I like this one, because it was an excellent attempt at reconstructing T. rex according to the current thinking and it was available for a reasonable price,, so it has its place in my collection. The Eofauna rex "Sue" will find its way in too, as I like models that shake things up a little. However, for me, the 1:35 Showanna rex due out next Spring will likely be the most ideal reconstruction. It remains to be seen! 🦖

It's stated as 1:35! Hope this helps. Thank you for watching! 😊🦖

@@aeonfire82 You're welcome, and thank you!

The next best thing to a live shoebill, I'd say 😆🦕 Thank you for watching! To answer Finn's question about Compies in the Jurassic Park franchise: there is no evidence (yet) of venom in any prehistoric dinosaur. Venom production is associated with specific bone and tooth structures, for which no evidence has ever been found. There was a case postulated around 15 years ago for Sinornithosaurus, a relative of Velociraptor, but this was later proven to be a mistake. Recently, a study has indicated that Compsognathus itself is the juvenile of a small megalosaurid, and may not even be a taxon in its own right! Real palaeontology and discoveries continue to change and update what we thought we knew about dinosaurs, and there are many fascinating and amazing future discoveries in store 😊🦖

That is the only issue 😆 Mine's currently living on the floor next to a houseplant, but that's really not ideal! Haolonggood keep spoiling us with these big sauropod figures 😊

@@aeonfire82 probable looks damn good lurking around your houseplant. Unfortunately, I don’t have your green thumb lol

@williamneill5441 I'm not sure I do either, as they seem to get out of hand quite rapidly, then I find myself chasing around after them all to keep them healthy and neat 😆 I don't know a lot about how to care for them, I just try to read what they're telling me, and treat them appropriately. Plants utterly fascinate me and I do talk to them. They very effectively add extra interest to dinosaur toy displays, and vice versa, too 😊

It's definitely an absolutely monumental genus and this model really does it justice! Haolonggood have excelled themselves with this one 😊 The detail and the pant apps are some of the best I've ever seen 🤯 The pattern of the osteoderms is very pleasing, they've really thought about it the whole design. It's also great to have a choice of figures from the late Cretaceous that scale together from different companies, too! ❤️

@@aeonfire82 I think it’s awesome that while sauropods like Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, and Brachiosaurus, are often associated with the Jurassic period, one group, the Titanosaurs, made it until the end of the Cretaceous, and were doing just fine up until then. Not to mention that they were the biggest land animals to ever exist.

@AspieDino98 it's absolutely awesome! The end of the Cretaceous seems to have been the peak of dinosaurs across the main families reaching their greatest sizes and complexity. To think, when I was a child it was assumed that sauropods were extinct before then. Every new discovery is a tiny fragment of a truly epic tale. There are so many brilliant new models coming out all the time now, I can't keep up!! 🦖

😆 Thank you! They're so old, and battered, and even new stuffing can't really save them these days, but I still love them!

Thank you for watching! It is an all-time brilliant sauropod and I certainly recommend it! Got no idea where to put mine yet, either 🫢 It's a real show piece!

I have mine on a particleboard shelf that has a maximum carrying capacity of 10kg.

I agree! They're both a beautiful design. I particularly like the colour palette of Tusk, though I don't own that version

That's wonderful to hear! 😻 It's a truly fascinating and humbling subject, and we're now living through an age where the best dinosaur figures the world has ever seen in terms of detail and quality are readily available 😊🦖 And because they're so beautiful, they're a joy to see around the house. Even my other half enjoys them! I hope you'll find this new interest brings you much joy! ❤️🦖

Thank you for watching! 😊 I've loved dinosaurs since very early childhood and had a lot of toy dinosaurs from brands such as Invicta, Dino Riders, Zoids, Transformers, Carnegie, Battat and generic figures, but I asked my mother to give most of these away when I left home. But I never lost my love of dinosaurs or their figures! When I subsequently settled down many years ago, I happened to see a picture of the Papo Allosaurus on the internet, I ordered the from ED, and I've been collecting dinosaurs again ever since! Thank you for your interest and your question 😊🦖🐈‍⬛

ofc thx for answering, you seem like a lovely person @@aeonfire82

BOTM just keep getting more and more exciting! 😊 They've already come so far since the 'raptor series. I'm delighted that Cyberzoic sailed through its Kickstarter campaign every bit as easily as previous dinosaur-only campaigns. I had been concerned that launching a line of figures based on an entirely new and huge sci-fi world might be too much of an ask for supporters, especially with dragons in the mix, and I'm ridiculously happy for them that it has succeeded! And also, for us collectors 😸 I did not expect the Cyberzoic dinosaurs to have slightly different heads to the BOTM line either. This gives us even more options!

Fantastic selection!! I think this wave is possibly the best ❤️🦖

Or a hairdryer

I really appreciate your support, thank you! ❤️🦖🐈‍⬛

Their popularity speaks volumes, I think..! 😊 It's really good to see a line of dinosaur action figures that are scientifically informed, and they're totally worth the price. Hopefully their Sci-Fi Cyberzoic crossover will provide a base for the further scientifically informed dinosaur figures that have already been previewed!

You could say it's a "Gorgeous-saurus"

I totally hear you. I periodically have to rearrange a load of figures, and I like to have my BOTM on open shelves so that I can pose and adjust them easily, I handle them a lot more than my other figures....but of course, shelf-space is always limited, especially for figures this size and weight. The big rex spent ages moving between the floor in front of the TV, the coffee table and the sofa before I created a suitable space on a shelf, and the Gorgosaurus here is now in the same situation!! But being spoiled for choice of such wonderful models is a rather pleasant problem 😊 Which version of the Styracosaurus did you get? 🦖

I got the standard rerealease version but I am planning on getting the non bloody version of old buck

@giganotosauruscreations6562 I often find that the fan's choice/special editions are nicer than the originals, and the Old Buck colour scheme is no exception! 😊

I really love how David didn’t just repaint the original styracosaurus but he gave it a brand new head sculpt to better fit the dinosauria series!

@giganotosauruscreations6562 David's work ethic and dedication are incredible, he blows my mind 🤯 He's worked so hard to build Creative Beast Studio, he's reached out to others, fans and professionals of prehistory, for advice and creative assistance and art direction, without a trace of pride or being precious about it, and with dedication to making these things the best they possibly can be, and they've all brought this line spectacularly to life 😻 These things are expensive but they are so worth it!! I'd love the Fan's Choice Medusaceratops, that's quite high on my list 😊

I love the colours and patterns of the Albertosaurus too! 😊 The paintwork in this series is a step above previous series', and even in this wave there's something of an improvement over the previous waves. I hope you manage to get this Gorgosaurus and an Albertosaurus! Thank you for watching 😊🦖

It really is! I highly recommend it 😊 Thank you for watching! 🦖

Thank you for watching! 😊 Yes, they're fantastic figures but I can appreciate they're not for everyone, given their size and price..! 😵 Wrestling them is however, part of the fun 😆 I have to be very selective with them, but couldn't pass on this beauty! ❤️🦖

That's an absolutely stunning figure, and a huge upgrade on Wilson again, but between space and budget I've had to very reluctantly push it down my wishlist! 🦖 A good general sort-out of my collection and display options is needed once again

He won't have to wait til Tuesday, I'm on my way in today 😊 A collaboration, eh? I'm up for that, I'll have to moderate my language of course! 😆

To answer Finn's question about Dilophosaurus: recent research has indicated that despite being a primitive theropod, long thought to be quite weak and delicate on account of its assumed lack of jaw strength and high bony head crests, Dilophosaurus was actually a very powerful predator that had few qualms about attacking prey larger than itself, as well as smaller prey, using its jaws, hand claws and probably also its feet to pin down larger prey. It pretty much would have taken advantage of any possible meal that it came across, from baby dinosaurs to adult dinosaurs and other animals, whether that meal was already dead or alive, and wouldn't have been afraid to challenge its own kind over resources such as food. It was rather slender and lightweight compared to later theropods, but was one of the largest of its time, and would have been rather dominant in its ecosystems as a top predator. It had strong arms and hands with hooked claws that could grip struggling prey as the jaws did their work, rather like a modern leopard. Like most large predatory animals it probably started eating its prey while the prey was still alive. Its predatory behaviour would have combined elements seen in modern Komodo dragons, raptorial birds, and Big Cats.

Thanks for answering his question, he has read it and he says it is a good answer! 😃👏

@grahambibby6437 I'm not sure what more could be said, really 😆 Meeting one in real life would certainly be a very messy one-way encounter..!

I'm glad it has helped, I was thinking about doing a proper review of them, because they're even nicer in real life than I could really clarify here! Definitely the nicest little Dilo figures currently available, and it's really nice to have two different poses in the same set ❤️🦖
