My top: 1 Apatosaurus, 2 T-Rex Maquette , 3 Stegosaurus, 4 T-rex vs. Triceratops , 5 Allosaurus vs. Camarasaurus, 6 Styracosaurus Maquette , 7 Dilophosaurus Maquette, 8 Carnotaurus, 9 Spinosaurus , 10 Tupuxuara, 11 Euoplocephalus , 12 velociraptors vs Protoceratops, 13 Deinosuchus vs. Paralophulus. 14 Brachiosaurus in egg. Mosasaur not yet arrived in my collection, but definitely be second or first. I love a lot, this mega sculpture.
this is an interesting topic that never get tired of...let me do a list for your reference:
1. Apatosaurus --- I love the original paint, the repaint Apatosaurus is more colorful but I think the color and pattern of original Aptosaurus may be more closer to the real Apatosaurus. By the way, before the repaint came out, this one can be the most difficult one to get on ebay...because no one wants to sell it once if they have it!!!
2. T-Rex: What can I say? Marvelous handsome guy made by David, need no comment.
3. (tie) Styracosaurus and Tupuxuara: I have to say the painting on both head are so delicate and colorful, look at Tupuxuara's head! Who doesn't love this little bird even if you don't know who he is? For Styracosaurus, I just love the green color on his head that go with its beak, horn, and shield...this is a true beauty also by David Krenz. BUT actually this is not close to the prototype...The prototype of Stegosaurus on Sideshow's official site is toooo perfect and tooo complicated to catch up with...by factory painting workers which I can understand.
4. Carnotorus: Adrian Taboada gives a very impressive dynamic posture that perfectly balance the short arms, the sculpt detail 100% equal to the prototype even the painting degradation cannot affect the value of this statue, this is the statue that I most display, more than Apatosaurus.
5. Stegosaurs: Very close to Carnotorus, but I decide to rank her 5th instead of tie with Carnotorus, the reason being...'her child', the little Stegosaurs, as a little surprise to fans, looks a little fake to me, no offense, and the color on their BIG body should have more levels not just full yellowish brown. But this one is much better than the repaint in my mind. I hate people put orange and green together when they talk about Stegosaurus.
6. Spinosaurs, Protoceratops VS Velociraptor, Euoplocephalus in Egg, Tyrannosaurus Rex VS Triceratops...no big difference between them, my comment is: Good, worthy. Go and buy them if you have plenty budget.
7. Deinosuchus VS Parasaurolophus
8. Dilophosaurus
*Brachiosaurus in egg, Allosaurus vs. Camarasaurus are the only two that I don't own. So, no rank.
*Special place for the Mosasaurs, I love this statue very much but I don't want to rank the new comer this time...probably between Carnotorus and Stegosaurus in the future.
