    Eh, it doesn't look DD to me, to squat and over sized in the leg and tail department. The chunky scales texture is starting to grow on me and I like the new shots of the underbelly. I just don't know if I can get past the head and oversize claws.

    I guess I'd need to also get a Gorilla-Ju if I won the Tyranno-ju :lol:

    Btw, does Hirota usually notify when he ships? Just wondering when to expect the poster

    I don't know if he gives shipping confirmation, but he said the posters were not shipping until the 9th.

    Does it say something about the way of scoring the Dino being disclosed in the poster?

    It reads like there will be a notice enclosed / attached to the poster.

    Header artwork for this release matches the poster, I think it translates that the net bag packaging has finished and it will be bags and HS branded headers from now on.

    Also... 'May also decorate a toy store in this town' = HS store?! Or an HS display in an existing shop?

    Can't wait to try to enter - I'm loving the new addition to the line-up!
    He looks huge - roughly Goga height when his tail's touching the ground :shock:

    Very much hoping the flippers didn't win multiple posters…..

    Ever not really like a toy, but feel you should go for it because it goes with your other toys ??

    Funny you say this because I was thinking if I had a Gorilla and Mecha, I would probably want it just to display them all together.

    Maybe, but I think the unpainted version looks better.

    As far as I know, unpainted figs have never been sold.

    I think you are right, but I like the picture of the unpainted sculpt on the blog much better than this first painted version.

    Jack Kirby doing dinosaurs, can't get any better than that. And I loved me some Devil Dinosaur when I was a kid. Actually, I still do.
