Re: Dam Toys Dino statues
Glad to see they didn't buy the four legs walking Spinosaurus idea... I'm very satisfied with their T-Rex bust, will keep on with this line from now.

While technically not a dino, I've had this on order for while.
Supposed to ship this month or next after 1 delay already....

Re: Dam Toys Dino statues
That is such a nice looking statue. Hope the final product is as great as the proto.

Re: Dam Toys Dino statues
Ok i missed this thread lol posting Smilodon pics here
Spent more time with him and took my pictures. I really love what Damtoys have done here, it's just a beautiful piece with such fine details, i don't think my pics do it justice to be honest.
The Smilodon sculpt is great, i'm no expert and it might not be super accurate but it's aesthetically super pleasing, oozing with details and it has a great fur sculpt which can be so hard to get right.
The base is just glorious, i love the clear resin water effect all the little plants and details are brilliant.
Comparing to the prototype though the paint on the Smilodon overall could be better, it seems to have a lost that soft look which really made the sculpt look like fur that the prototype had, maybe it's the brighter colour...it's not a bad paint job by any means but it isn't as good as the prototype, it's lost abit of that realism it had.
Also the eyes have been changed, they seemed to have a bigger iris on the proto, here we have a large yellow eye with a black pupil which looks to be more akin to a Tiger which of course totally works and it does give the statue a little bit more intensity which i do like.
In fact the whole thing seems to have been "tigered up" which the more orange paint scheme and the change to the eyes, i like it, others might not.
For $225 i think it's real bargain for what you get and i doubt we'll see prices this low for this quality again....yes it's not at proto levels when it comes to the paints on the Smilodon itself but i'd say it was about 90% there which is in the parameters for myself and the base is super on point, i'm really happy with him overall.
Regarding the weight it's too heavy lol no idea why they made it this heavy. In fact i'm probably going to display him without the plinth, it doesn't add much apart from more weight and it's easier to display him with out it.

Looks good, I'll get charged for the Gobi version next week. Canines look like they could have used a bit more shading though.

Yeah the teeth shading could have been better but overall he's great!
Here's my Smilodon review if anyone want to check it out - https://youtu.be/XhYDutapqaw

Re: Dam Toys Dino statues
Holy s*&t, this thing is a beast! No pun intended. First impression was that is a huge box. Second impression was, that is a heavy box! Lol!
It came packed with plenty of styrofoam in the box to protect it. Inside, it was wrapped in some silky cloth material. The cat base is padded on the bottom and the Base is padded as well. It seems they went the same way that PCS went with their Conan bases - it is a thin sheet of plastic glued onto the bottom of the polystone base. It feels a little lumpy but nothing major.
The paint is awesome for a prepaint. They even gloss coated the water underneath the tree. This is the cat I was aiming to get and think it trumps the cheetah one.
Did I mention it was heavy? And you can't beat the price. I guess this is due to the fact that it isn't licensed and it isn't numbered. As with all iphone crap pictures, the colors are too bright. He isn't this orange in real life.

Beautiful photos clutch and DeadGhostKnight! This looks like a really amazing piece - I have it on order from BBTS, so hopefully I'll be seeing him in person soon

Re: Dam Toys Dino statues
That looks great, I was charged today for the Gobi version so I should get it maybe by Friday. Looking forward to getting it in hand.
I wonder if they'll do other prehistoric mammals, dire wolf, north american lion, even a bison would be cool.

It's a lot heavier than I though it would be, and the metal slab base just adds.
Overall really nice detail and paint app, I like it a lot. Like to see more in the future.

Re: Dam Toys Dino statues
It took a while, but my Similadon rainforest version finally showed up, and it truly is brilliant - and heavy as a mofo Seriously, she weighs in at almost 50 lbs with the base, but the weight is fitting for a statue with such a strong presence. This is seriously worth getting simply because it's so well done... Here are some hero shots of her - enjoy!
