New Dinosaur (Velociraptor) Action Figure Kickstarter
 
David Silva of Creative Beast Studios has done work for McFarlane and NECA in the past, and is now Kickstarting a line of 1/6 scale dinosaur action figures. The first line is various raptor species. Like I said, they're 1/6 scale, but can work 1/12 in "Jurassic Park scale" (the raptors in JP are actually oversized in comparison to the actual animal). They're really beautiful figures, with a possibility of up to 10 total if stretch goals get met. Check it out:

Thanks for sharing. Those sculpts are quite impressive.

Brownfinger 04-27-2016 05:15 PM

I went to high school with David Silva! I remember his comic book inspired pages often being in the art display case. He's worked on some of my favorite toys, too. What a small world.
And what an awesome project. Absolutely pledging. (Ceratopsians, please)

Yeah, the teaser for Ceratopsians in 2017 has me pretty hyped. Visions of sugar plums and all that. :)

Rad that you knew him, he's a super-talented guy from what I can see. He's been selling dinosaur model kits for a few years now too, if anyone's interested his site is Creative-Beast.com

TimothyR 04-28-2016 12:20 AM

wow! those things are unbelievably awesome.. i'd kill for an entire line of dinosaurs that were that articulated. i've always felt that dinosaurs as toys were ridiculously underutilized. i mean, there's not a single line of collector level articulated dinosaurs.. it sucks. i mean, most boys, when they're kids LOVE dinosaurs. i don't understand why the only things we get these days are cheap immovable figures, crappy gimmicky hasbro figures, or expensive static statues.

anyways, in a perfect world.. i'd have a collection of jurassic park looking dinosaurs, with their real life counterparts displayed next to them. i think that'd look awesome.

sagelion 04-28-2016 07:38 AM

As soon as I saw these I jumped on them. I'm not even a dinosaur fan in general, but these are gorgeous.

TimothyR 04-28-2016 03:15 PM

Just pledged for the velociraptor. I wish I could pledge $100 to get all three.. But I just can't swing that right now with so many other things out there.. It's a great deal though. I really hope the goal is reached. This hobby REALLY needs figures like these.

Same here. The sculpts and paint look amazing. Pledged.

TimothyR 04-28-2016 03:46 PM

I would still love to see a Jurassic mark style raptor to display with their real version.

I hope that this takes off and they're able to expand to more dinosaurs.

georgeromero 04-29-2016 03:51 AM

Excellent! I will buy two of each for sure. I don't know whether it's good or bad but this year we get too many cool figures and with not so good budget choosing what to buy puts me in difficult situation.

muffinhunter 04-29-2016 06:16 PM

Dave says he'll be revealing the first stretch goal figure this weekend, though it's not clear if he's done any sculpt work on it yet or is just revealing which species it will be. Either way, can't wait. I really love how he's been basing the color schemes on different bird species.

Yeah, the new one looks awesome (the scratch). I really don't think I'm only going to be able to get just one.

muffinhunter 05-03-2016 03:49 PM

So there is now package art for two stretch goal figures up on the Kickstarter site, as well as an in-progress look at the head sculpt for the first. Both look fantastic, check 'em out! :)

New Kickstarter exclusive add-on figure:

muffinhunter 05-09-2016 03:50 PM

Alright, this baby is now fully funded! Time to blow past some stretch goals! :)

webz 05-11-2016 02:23 PM

Just pledged $35 for the Velociraptor. Hoping a sneak-appearance of a Deinonychus, but will "settle" for Dromaeosaurus if they get the stretch.

For future 1/6th scale dinos... would love Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, and a labrador-sized T. Rex. I think a 1/6 scale titanosaur is just too much to hope for, tho... ;)

iLLest 05-11-2016 02:34 PM

I'm in..
I'd really like to see a Triceratops.

Me too... But would be huge.. 24 to 29 ft long triceratops in a 1/6 scale would be almost 5 ft long. A 45ft long female T. Rex would be 7ft long at 1/6 scale.

He's changing the scale for those.. Obviously. It'll probably be closer to 1/35.

Bah. No fun at all. :(

not fun? sure. more affordable/collector friendly? yes. lol.

i'd love a 1/12 tyrannosaurus rex. that would be awesome. though, as much as i like these raptors being accurately feathered.. a feathered t-rex is still a little too out there for me at the moment. i'm not sure if scientists really know how many feathers the t-rex had.

a 1/6 utahraptor would be cool.. but i think that'd probably be the size of a 1/12 t-rex.

anyways.. i love the kickstarter exclusive blue raptor.. he's definitely going to be the leader of the two velociraptors i've already pledged for.. something tells me i'm going to wind up with six of these things at least. some of those silhouettes just look badass.. i can't wait for them to be revealed.

well, if recent finds in utah and china have any bearing, seems the larger the tyrannosaur, the less the feathers. a 25ft tyrannosaurid in utah has feather impressions along the neck back and tail.

A larger tyrannosaurid, closely related to Tarbosaurus and rex, shows feather-like quills along the top of the head and tail, but nothing on the back or leg. front arms were missing, so it is unknown if it had wings or scaley arms.

Stranger 05-26-2016 10:53 AM

Jeez... how many feathered raptors do we really need??

a lot.

how can anyone complain about $35 super articulated accurate raptors!
the hardest part is going to pick which two stretch goals i want.

Brownfinger 05-29-2016 07:56 AM

We did it!
Great stuff, all around. A small part in my brain wants to throw a saddle and some plastic armor onto at least one of these raptors for my figures to ride around on.
Either way, I'm glad they're happening.
