Dinosauria: Stegosaurus

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Don't feel bad, there was a lot of creative liberties taken with their Dilophosaurus...so much so the only thing accurate was the head crest.. lol

These were made by a brother team of sculptors who show their work at the DTF : https://dinotoyforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=art&action=display&thread=3715

They are gauging interest in them and looking for someone to assist with casting.

Dilophosaurus was real. Michael Crichton just used creative license with the whole frill and venom spitting thing in Jurassic Park. There is no fossil evidence suggesting those features.

That bust is awesome Blade. Like carnotaurus, I've always wanted a really cool dilophosaurus maquette. So it's one down, one to go.

If I remember correctly, in the book, there was no frill and venom, that was something that was done for the movie only. So I'm not sure if that was Crichton's idea, or Spielberg's.

It's been many years since I read the book, but I'm almost positive that they did have venom in the book. I think the frill may have been added for the movie though now that you mention it.

Dilo's in the book were venomous..they spit like spitting cobras. That was how Nedry was blinded before being disemboweled. The frill was an addition for the film to make the animal more visually striking and different.

I have to chime in here, I love Dilophosaurus. His cousin the Monolophosaurus is pretty awesome too.

Another under-represented species. We def need more variety in the dino collector market.

I knew something was added for effect in the movie. Thanks for clarifying. Still my favorite book of all time, and outside of Lord of the Rings, the only book I have read more than once.

What do you guys think of these ?

Now before you get your hopes up, these aren't Dinosauria pieces, but I they are VERY sweet and they have changed my mind on just how cool it would be to have some busts in the Dinosauria line.

Wow!

Those are some very nice busts. I'd love to own both of those. What scale are they in?

Prickly Marshallsaurs! A dream come true for some, a nightmare for others.

I agree. I love seeing new dinos I've never heard of letting all of you educate me on them.

Not sure..the Dilo is 14" and the Eocharcharia is 16" though..and there more pics of them at the link I posted :

Some of us just prefer more interesting representations... heh heh ;D

Shoot, I used to be know as the Dino Man around here and especiallyat school...now I can't keep up with all the new ones...good thing there are others educating us so we can pass some along to you..

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Looks the line isn't dead yet ! ;D

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Whoa, they look quite different from this angle. Check out the armored foreleg!

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Pretty sweet ! I love armor on dinos.. ;D

I don't see the scutes under the neck area though.. ? That would be the only real drawback I can see since I think they have proof of them.

The color scheme could have been so much more..but thanks to the calendar I pretty much knew what to expect in that regard.

 

[Mightytrex]

Well it's about time! Looks amazing now to find a place on my shelf.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Shoot, we need to know how big it is first before I can any rearranging...lol Hopefully it won't be like the oft-delayed Apato and end up possibly coming out next year or something.. :/

 

[Darth Snoopy]

My favorite dino!

 

[Dyscrasia]

Wow, I am extremely happy to see that this will finally come out~!

Even though it still doesn't imply that the line will continue after this one imo, atleast we can expect that the
Apatosaurus maquette will come out this year (like Blade-Of-The-Moon has mentioned above )....

Same here and yeah it doesn't mean it will continue..but at least it can go out with all the products released for it now if it does indeed end.

So I'm hoping the Apato makes it this year at the least..the Stego though might be Q1 2012 ...I'm not sure it will make Christmas right now. I'm curious to see what date SS puts on it.
