Found 'em. Diorama potential, yes?
Kinto Favorite actually makes several other Spinosaurus models, including this one with the garfish. To be fair, we don't actually know if it had large thumb claws like the Baryonyx.
Something tells me a fish would be too tame for Sideshow to take on. Unless it was a Dunkleosteus vs. Shark scene, or something.

You're clearly bending Sideshow to your will, then. Tell them to make Diatryma next, see what happens.
I don't think speed was a huge problem for the Dunkleosteus. It was likely the apex predator of its ecosystem, so whatever speed it might have been able to clock in, it was probably adequate to take down many forms of prey. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so successful.
I still suspect we'd see something more prototypical from SS, though. Like a pliosaur, which would still be awesome.
I'm all for a breaching pliosaur scene..maybe ala WwD and have it a vs piece like the Para vs Deino.. or two marine beasties fighting..sort of Jules Vern-ish.
I'm still holding out for an Allosaur of some sort....they make it a dio with a Ceratosaur/Stegosaurus and kill two birds with one stone..lol
A friend of mine who loves Charchardontosaurus want one of them..perhaps in a scene with Afrovenator like the art by...who was it ? Hallet ?
There are a lot of possibilties...but I'm really feeling a Raptor piece coming soon...though I'm not sure if it will be a dio or a maquette..I'm betting they want to steer clear of pieces that are too small..a whole raptor pack taking on a larger dino as in the JP piece could be a problem...if SS thinks so as well it's more likely it would be a raptor or two chasing down a struthio or a gallimimus something along those lines.
We've not seen the traditional predator-with-carcass yet either... :?
A pliosaur VS plesiosaur piece seems very likely, as do an Allosaurus VS Stegosaurus (almost seems a given) possibly VS Ceratosaurus, a Carcharodontosaurus, Utahraptor, Velociraptor VS Protoceratops definitely... again I would like a piece with several carnivores congregating around a sauropod corpse. Could make for a fascinating piece. I'm imagining a pack of Giganotosaurs flocking around an Argentinosaurus corpse, diving into the flesh and rending each other to shreds in the process over the prize. It'd be an interesting take on such a large theropod to depict it that way. Think outside the box, I always say!
I'm curious if there is an order to the pieces or not...Dio, M, M,M, Dio, ? , . I'd buy a Plio vs Plesio piece, any Allosaur...vs Stego or not, pretty much any of those pieces mentioned.
I'm not sure how they could do a piece so grand as an Argentino carcass and pack of Gigas though it's an awe-inspiring idea...the JP Raptors didn't turn out too well when made smaller. Maybe a Giga and a juvenile Argentino...Giga and partial carcass...or a couple of adult Gigas jumping a partially trapped Argentinosaur so they don't need the whole body showing in the piece. Really any sauropod is going to be a challenge I think and if made should def be bigger than any of the other pieces...even if it was twice the price of a dio..sauropods are HUGE and should be portrayed as such.
Yeah, I can't imagine a sauropod statue on it's own in the same relative size as the previous released pieces..with their tiny heads, long tails, and bodies..it would look like a really detailed figure if not made to dwarf them...it would be in scale with some figures though I guess that could count as a plus.. :/
If I had to take a stab at a price for a nice large Sauropod..maybe 4-500.00 ? about twice the price of a dio but with only one massive figure.
Well a Stego will be coming our way pretty soon
