Statue Sideshow Dinosauria Mosasaur Statue/Maquette

[masterkeying]

well, just saw the preview pic, why have the mouth closed, now it looks like a pet lizard you might have in the house, such a great creature and you choose to have it mouth shut, imagine how this would look with all those rows of teeth, what a shame.

We've known since we saw the early sculpt the mouth would be closed. I think the reasoning to make it look so much like a monitor lizard/varanid is because mosasaurs are related to them. This pose and look clearly shows that.

If your near Burbank, Sideshow will be at the dinosaur event there :

Even more dinosaurs have been added to the Feb. 1st "Dino Gallery LIVE!" event at Creature Features (from 1- 4 PM at 2904 W. Magnolia Blvd., Burbank, CA)

Does look like a monitor lizard. Used to have a Savannah, Nile, White's Tree, and Water monitors.

Those are some the mosasaur's closest living relatives. I used to have a Savannah and a Nile myself.

We also have paint variants for the Spinosaurus and Styracosaurus :

These are apparently going to be released by Sideshow.

 

[Boba Ben]

Good news for my collection. Bad news for my wallet.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Has Sideshow released paint variants like this before ? I'm curious to how they effect the value of my original one ?

I'm honestly thinking to sell my current ones to get the new versions.

 

[MIKE M]

i like the old styracosaurus paint

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I like it of course..but I always wished for more colors and patterns. That said these are pics of the paint masters..the final outcome may not live up to them.

 

[wanderlai]

The Styracosaurus repaint looks really good. Never was a fan of the Spinosaurus pose...looks like its about to topple over. Only dinos I have are the egg statues. I have 2 of them and have never opened them. I may jump on some repaints.

Hello friends. I have a question. Was anyone at the event organized by "more dinosaurs" ? I can not believe that in the event only three pictures were made to dinosaurs from Sideshow, when everyone knew that those dinosaurs are high attraction of the event . Including on the facebook page, team organizers told to stay alert to follows pictures of T-rex. I just saw some statues, from a few years ago repainted, and 3 photos with Mosasaur incomplete! I still do not know how it looks painted the bottom of the statue . We expect pictures with big T-rex from Sideshow and complete Mosasaur.

And those few pictures taken with Mosasaur are deplorable quality

I keep telling you they are just teaser pics meant to excite us and hype us up. ..and the statues were high priority for us..not sure it was for all that attended.

I think we'll see the Mosasaur go up for pre-order this month..maybe this week even.

The new T-Rex was still in the sculpting the phase when we saw pics. I don't think it was completed. So I wouldn't expect it was at the show. It may be released around the same time as the Triceratops...which is probably being sculpted now. The Mosa will be up first then the repaints I'm guessing..probably a way to hold our attention til the new pieces come out.

I was there. Everyone had a good time.

The Mosasaur piece was there, and it was a thing of beauty. I must have one!

 

[MIKE M]

Great now I'm gonna have to find a way to buy it and im so broke its not even funny

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Is anyone else concerned the new repaints will de-value their current pieces ?
