Tyrannosaurus Rex VS Triceratops Diorama

[Reinhardt]

Looks nice..

wonder what the scale will be

Looks amazing!!! But yeah Felipe, THAT is the question.

 

[Aragorn]

No way! The triceratops is my favorite dinosaur, I can't wait to see the rest of this!

Just got home after a long day, and to see this piece revealed is certainly a pleasant surprise. I'm curious what the scale will be; judging from the detail, it's certainly a bit larger than the JP piece. I'd like a better view, of course, before saying whether or not I think it's "pretty darn good" or "MAGNIFICENT". I've been skeptical, and I'll admit, more than a bit bitter that they've gone with Dinosauria rather than revealing a second JP piece. I have to say, though, I'm leaning towards the latter of my two options. The detail on the T.rex is superb. Simply superb. This may be a stellar line after all!

Damn, this looks really cool, I'm a sucker for Dinos.

I'm wondering if the conditions of "JP" were too tame for SS to give us what they wanted to.

 

[Ktjn]

this will be popular with the guys at statue forum.

only if it has a super low ES. Thats how they roll.


Still, dinos.

I'm wondering if the conditions of "JP" were too tame for SS to give us what they wanted to.

Too tame? Not likely. The gore in the first piece is quite well done in the final paintjob. There are so many dramatic and/or extremely violent scenes that they could portray. The T.rex ripping the Gallimimus in half, Nedry pawing his way up a muddy cliff away from a flaring Dliophosaurus, Tim and Lex crawling across kitchen tiles with Velociraptors stalking closer, the T.rex tossing Gennaro about like a dog with a hare, or Muldoon fighting while being eaten alive by a Velociraptor, and the list goes on.

I think it's probably that licensing fees for JP might be quite high, so they're directing their attention to just a dinosaur line of their own. I would love to see more iconic JP pieces; for example, I think the SS line may be our only chance to see a high quality Dilophosaurus in a JP likeness.

However, I don't want to steal thunder from this outstanding piece with a JP diatribe. I would hope for pieces from both lines, but if not, again I'd be curious how close the Dinosauria dino likenesses compare to the JP dinos.

It looks like this may be a line of truly great paleoartistry. Having seen this teaser of the T.rex jaws, I'm immensely impressed, and I hope the production pieces are just as good... well, as good as the teaser. I'm still hoping the Triceratops and the rest of the T.rex look just as nice as what we're seeing.

I would imagine that JP dio will be rather easy to get now.

 

[Agent0028]

I suddenly don't regret not getting the JP dio, I'm going to hold out for something with a stegosaurus from this line. Hopefully in the first to feature one the steg won't be a meal like the triceratops.

I went through a HUGE dinosaur phase as a kid and my favorite match ups in all the picture books I had were T-Rexes vs. Triceratops. Then the theatrical release of JP seemed to make the whole world raptor crazy. Glad to hear my favorite dinos are back courtesy of SSC! Can't wait to see this one!

 

[Kratos]

This looks so freakin sweet I want this so bad

 

[p!tu]

Pablo is the ^^^^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this sculpt is awesome!!!

 

[Adoptedscot]

Looking good so far

[SOLIDSNAKE]

that looks unreal !!
Sideshow just rocks !!

 

[thx217]

Judging by the detail, this piece should be AT LEAST twice with size(26"+) of the JP dio. And the T-Rex is not even fully extending its body! Can't wait to see an awesomely done Triceratops and base!

Top this SS!

Looks to me like the T.rex in the SS dio is pivoting, body facing forward and craning its head and neck backwards... perhaps for a better bite? The oxmox T.rex is quite good, but I like the SS likeness much better, thus far, at least in terms of the skull itself.

What I would love to see? The body of a dead juvenile Triceratops with the parent stalwartly defending it. In terms of gore? Well, the T.rex already has a bloody maw; how about something on par with this.

I know, wishful thinking, but if we see some true violence in these, I'll know SS is willing to push the envelope, and the line will be perhaps the best paleocollectible line to date. SS will have instilled the confidence in me, as well as in other collectors, and I shall pass the word on to my dino-junkie friends.

I would also settle for a mortally wounded Triceratops that is still rigorously trying to ward off/ kill its attacker. Either would work nicely for me. Who am I kidding... I think I'm going to be happy with this piece now regardless, based on the teaser.

Now that it seems this line has instilled confidence in collectors, here are some things I would like to see: Deinonychus pack attacking Edmontosaurus; Allosaurus VS Stegosaurus; perhaps some water dios featuring pliosaurs or mosasaurs... or a Megalodon attacking a whale pod... that would be just swell; also anything else with a Utahraptor or T.rex. I'm going to lose a great deal of money on this line. I have to start selling more on evilbay ASAP. Have to say, I was reticent, but now I'm extremely excited for this line, knowing they call pull off sterling likenesses.

I didn't see this anywhere else on here.

Here's a look at the Triceratops...

 

[Scar]

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that blood on the T.rex's underside? Is the Triceratops driving a horn into the T.rex's belly? Jesus, this piece is looking more spectacular by the second. Also, with this pic in combination with the site's teaser, we can get a complete visual of the T.rex's skull from that angle! In the sage words of those classic Nickelodeon philosophers, Ren and Stimpy, "Happy Happy Joy Joy!" Mind if I ask where you found that teaser image?

 

[creature4000]

thats exactly what it is... the left horn gorging the Rex!!!!

Contacted Mike Fredericks at Prehistoric Times; he's getting in touch with Sideshow to see about review kits for the piece. Hopefully I'll be hearing from him soon once then get back to him!
