[tamaboy311]

CC...you have done it again!!! :drooling::jawd:

[FROBAY]

That's a win. Very nice.

[oddlysober]

Looks good, but only 3lbs.? Is that a typo? I hope so.

[Parallax]

The detail is insane for 1/9 scale.

[Darkhumor]

I have no interest in Owen. But the raptor looks fantastic though!!! Would love a set of three raptors to go with breakout rex!!

[Darkhumor]

Paul, any chance you can snap a pic of a size comparison with this and breakout rex?

[tamaboy311]

im pretty sure we are going to have a pic of someone holding it. all of the jurassic pieces have a pic like that.

[Darkhumor]

im pretty sure we are going to have a pic of someone holding it. all of the jurassic pieces have a pic like that.

Yes, I know. But I would like to see the size next to it to see if its in scale with one another, for me to consider a purchase.

[Gruson]

Man, wish it was just a 1/4 scale Blue! That would have been epic

[daz1999]

I was going to pass on this as I was going to wait for a bigger raptor down the line but not so sure now . This looks very good.

Dark humour- I think the breakout is 1/20 ? Am I remembering that right?

[toty21]

I don't understand why not just do a 1/4 scale raptor. Who cares about the humans. :(

[Phil the sixth]

Raptor looks fantastic.

[Manu81]

WOW!!!stunning!! I would like to see it next to tje break out also! I am waiting for the raptors in the kitchen maquette!!hope to get the same level of detail on it!

[LSC]

Can just quick google search image of chronicle collectibles. There is side by side display to the breakout if that's correct figure.

[cemo]

perfect,amazing job ,I hope same with finish job.
Raptor really amazing but we wait big alone raptor or just dino dioramas.this line grows amazing .

[Chronicle CS]

Universal cares about the humans.....

[candyrocket786]

Is Chris Pratt getting one?

[Manu81]

so in your future maquette (raptors in the kitchen), are you planning to add the boys Paul??:)

[tamaboy311]

Yes, I know. But I would like to see the size next to it to see if its in scale with one another, for me to consider a purchase.

here you go bud. have to admit tho, is too small but the price. im paying the compy for the same price ant its 1:1. anyway, its beautiful and if i could i would buy it.

[Choopie]

I have no interest in JW pieces(sticking with just JP), but this looks very nice. Great job Chronicle!

[azurepred]

looks very nice, but I would've preferred at least 1/6 scale. They're doing a figure of owen already right? Should've just done the raptor imo

[Chronicle CS]

The paint work on this is about three times as hard as the Compy, even harder than the breakout rex....

We also use Toynami and Universal approved factories. Using a Universal approved factory adds to the cost.

Other companies can offer cheaper products, but the get sold out the back door and are not Universal audited. I'd rather know that our factories meet the highest standards in China and charge more, than produce through god knows what conditions otherwise.

[tamaboy311]

The paint work on this is about three times as hard as the Compy, even harder than the breakout rex....

i though the same thing. the price is justified because it is a smaller piece meaning there is more work involved to make a perfect paint job. and you guys achieved it.

[Chronicle CS]

People just look at the size and think, oh man that's high. Blue would be 15-16" long with the tail and head straight, it's a big piece and working with ILM we got this one spot on....

Paul

[tamaboy311]

Paul

are you guys gonna give us a pic of somebody holding it like the other JP pieces?

[Manu81]

great piece paul! we can all appreciatte all the efforts you have put on it.

[Jurassic]

Oh my... this looks so goo... PERFECT!
These self designed put together statues are the best. Those copie SWS statues are a little lazy imo, I like never seen stuff.
Keep up this great work Chronicle Collectibles! Looking at Blue i'm so excited about the Raptors in the kitchen statue.

Can't wait for them...but at least we will have to wait until 2018 to see any picture about them...they are planned for the 25th anniversary (and I really need them right now haha...)

Calling a reproduction of a SWS piece "lazy" is pretty foolish.

[tamaboy311]

Calling a reproduction of a SWS piece "lazy" is pretty foolish.

Please tell me he didn't say that...

[Max Shreck]

Calling a reproduction of a SWS piece "lazy" is pretty foolish.

Agreed.
Nonetheless is a wonderful looking piece. Although I will pass on this as I'm more interested in the "lazy SWS" pieces. :D

[rjszar]

Man, this looks way better than I thought it would. I was going to pass on this, as I'm not getting all JP/JW pieces, but now I need to reassess real quick. Fantastic job!

[Darkhumor]

here you go bud. have to admit tho, is too small but the price. im paying the compy for the same price ant its 1:1. anyway, its beautiful and if i could i would buy it.

Thanks dude!! I've seen these pictures. Just not at this angle. I guess it is out of scale to rex. I imagine the raptor needs to be 1/15 to be a perfect fit. Man... I would love to get this. Just not fond of having Owen there.

[darb]

Lol typical statue forum bs... A company comes out with a fantastic liscensed jp diorama at a really stellar price... "Hobbiest". Literally find anything to complain about lol.

The piece looks great and I really love all the jp pieces that you guys do.

[Darkhumor]

Lol And the typical statueforum bs response and ass kissing. I doubt you'd act the same way with someone that had nothing to offer you. Get real.

[tamaboy311]

if anybody here doesn't want owen on it, i'm pretty sure you can take it out of the base.:thinking:

[Enforcer]

I won't lie, my first impression was holy ---- $350-$400 for 1/9 scale, but I am always preaching about getting what you pay for etc and that indeed includes the smaller scales of collectibles. As long as the approved factory doesn't fart around then I can believe that price is justified. That's alot of paint work involved... gonna be hard to not get sloppy at times.

I like Owen fine. He's actually the first human JP character that I give a damn about. I mean, the humans have been fine it's not like I dislike them except for the damn kids in every movie that I root for to get eaten. But I equate Owen to like....Han Solo or Neo or Dutch, just to name a few old school characters. He's a likeable character. I would not mind owning statues of Owen or involving Owen(like this)I'm just not sure Owen is high enough on the priority list to go after statues of his at this point in time.

Hell, I wouldn't even buy a figure or statue of Han Solo right now, and that's Han Solo. *shrug* But Owen + Blue tempts me. Probably already have my money if it included all the raptors.

[JPBF]

No interest in Jurassic World, only Jurassic Park, but this looks fantastic. The fact that people are doing a double take at the scale shows just how amazing the detail and paint work is. It has the quality of a much larger piece, which makes it worth the price in my book. Soo damn excited for the Nedry / Dilophosaurus and Raptors in the kitchen dioramas, assuming they're going to be the same scale.

[darb]

Lol And the typical statueforum bs response and ass kissing. I doubt you'd act the same way with someone that had nothing to offer you. Get real.

Lol whats that even mean.... Yact how exactly?... You mean not an entitled doosh. I'm not even going to purchase this line but know what it takes to create something like this from start to finish, first hand, and appreciate a nice piece with out needing to find something wrong with everything.

I would say the same, except mine would be Muldoon and his SPAS hunting/getting hunted in the woods with a JP1 raptor(and in 1/4!) more than wanting an Owen/Blue combo. It does look nice though and I still might get it.

[Thorondor_33]

The detail on this is incredible. Excellent work, Chronicle. This may be my next pre-order. :)

Blah blah blah... Recycled garbage post. Tell me something we all haven't read before. If you appreciate the piece, say so, without inserting the repetitions"same ol "bs post" you claim to get annoyed seeing. You're still ass kissing, playing up your douchebaggery, elitist collector attitude to Paul like you're going to win a prize. I like the piece, but i dont like owen there. Big whoop. Find something else to complain about than complaining about something so small as what i just stated and responding with the typical jab comment. Moving on now.

please I replied to your one comment since I sensed butthurt... my initial comment wasnt directed directly at you but the several that where posted. The third or 4th comment was something about the weight being to light. It gets old, just take a look at the Rs thread in the SS section. literally pages of people searching for things to find to complain on.

Im not ass kissing by any means just because I wont search for a fault or its not the way I would do it since thats essentially useless since the statue is done at this point. Dooshy maybe but far from an elitist by any means haha

Very well. My apologies then for the misunderstanding. But seriously. Theres always going to be someone here to nitpick. Even on facebook groups. Ive learned to just ignore or leave the groups altogether, seeing as most just suck the fun out of the hobby. You just gotta take it with a grain of salt. Who cares. Just as long as youre happy. Nothing else matters.

This piece will sell like hot cakes.Great job Chronicle! :thumbs2:

[Chronicle CS]

Man it would be nice to have one thread here that didn't devolve into arguments.

[jinkazama]

Hey Paul, with the great work you guys have done with Owen and Blue, when can we expect to see the Indominus Rex?

[tamaboy311]

Man it would be nice to have one thread here that didn't devolve into arguments.

always gonna happen. cant you delete those comments? you created this forum. also paul, are guys doing a pic with someone holding the piece like the other jp items?

[Chronicle CS]

We will post a pic monday with Heather holding Owen and Blue.

I don't delete anything, usually someone points a mod to a thread that has problems and they clean it up.

I want to remain transparent....

[dannygarrett09]

Paul I think you did a great job its not for me as said before I prefer just the dinos but its cool that universal likes their human characters too and most of the fans dig this and blue is outstanding!!

[dannygarrett09]

just cant wait for the JW end scene statue with blue

[jinkazama]

just cant wait for the JW end scene statue with blue
Is Chronicle making that?

[dannygarrett09]

yes with Indominus Rex and T-Rex where you can attach the two together to make one big fight scene and a little blue too

[jinkazama]

yes with Indominus Rex and T-Rex where you can attach the two together to make one big fight scene and a little blue too
Will it also have the Mosasaur?

[Johnny Utah]

Paul, any update on the 1/6 Owen and Grant? I rewatched Lost World this week and need Ian and Roland Tembo figures too.

[Nathanial91]

Hey Paul, I love this figure, Blue looks spot on! Is there any chance in the future for a companion piece that wraps around the back of this one, with the rest of the Raptor Pack?

[tamaboy311]

he already said there are no plans for now.

[jimmylace]

Tempted to go for it, but wasn't huge on the movie. I'm definitely getting the Raptors In The Kitchen piece if it's on par with this. Fantastic piece. Makes me laugh to think, for years, I was annoyed at missing out on the Sideshow JP T-Rex piece. Like a lump of Play-Doh compared to this! XD

[Chronicle CS]

We are now working on an Indominus Rex. ILM actually did the pose and it will be megalithic and sooooooooo cool.

This will be a part of a two piece set sold separately and hopefully up for pre-order first quarter of 2017.

The IRex will be nearly 30" long....

This will be our Opus......

[Leekson]

The IRex will be nearly 30" long....


30" long....? :jawd: That is 1/20 scale I suppose

Can we get a tease please???? :O

[Chronicle CS]

They are in scale with the Breakout Rex at 1:24 scale.

[Leekson]

Paul, I'm a little confused about the scale of Breakout Rex from the start...
Breakout T-Rex is long 24" at 1:24 scale as you said
24inches *24 scale *2,56cm (1inch) = 14,74m
24inches *20 scale *2,56cm (1inch) = 12,28m

I've read that full sized animatronic T-Rex was 40 feet long, that is 12,19m
According to mathematics, the scale of your Breakout T-Rex is 1/20
Please confirm this to us. It means a lot to us who wants to add Explorers to diorama, should we search for 1/24 Maisto Explorer or 1/20 Lindberg Explorer
Even at the beginning of Breakout thread and on your website is announced that it's 1/20 scale
I think that you've accidentally made a mistake, but that's not important, we just want to know the scale of Indominus. 1/24 or 1/20? If it's almost 30" than it's 1/20

[Chronicle CS]

Yeah it's closer to 1:20 and the Indominous will be about the same scale.

[Phil the sixth]

My goodness...Chronicle will ruin me! This JW end scene set-up will be stunning...Paul,I suppose the T-rex will have blue on its back,right? :D

[Chronicle CS]

Indeed it does, we are going all out, we just received the files from ILM and I am blown away by the level of detail. Dean was excited to see the Lucasfilm logo pop up when he opened the files. ;)

Paul

[daz1999]

I don't know how I'll afford all this goodness but like life, I'll find a way :D

[tamaboy311]

paul, post the picture with heather please!!!

[Chronicle CS]

Daz1999, that's why we offer some of the best payment plans....

[John Hammond]

Hey Paul, have you thought about making 1/6 dinosaurs like Velociraptors or Dilophosaurus? They would fit very well together with the articulated figures of human characters. It would be nice to have the eight different Raptor models that have appeared in the saga plus the Dilo to put together with the most important human characters of the franchise.

[clutch]

Hey John Hammond, have you thought about not posting the same question in multiple threads?

[Jurassic]

Calling a reproduction of a SWS piece "lazy" is pretty foolish.

Okay that's your opinion. CC delivers great work, but the reuse of things created by others is too easy imo.
It's like someone makes a nice drawing (SWS) and another person lays the drawing under a copier machine and says:
"Look what i made" (CC). But this is my opinion.
CC can also take a SWS piece and make/put the dinosaur in a different pose to make it more their own piece/creation.
And on a forum you can say what you want. A forum is all about sharing your thoughts and have discussions.
@tamaboy311 deleting posts? This forum is not a dictatorship.

[Chronicle CS]

I was trying to give credit where credit is due....

For so long the maquettes have been hard to get or bootleg fifth generation castings. If Stan were alive I'd have done a deal direct and had him sign them. Stan was an awesome guy and when we were doing the T2 license years ago he did something for me so profoundly nice that I have always had the utmost respect for the man.

So you can look at it as lazy or you can go buy our Stego for $500 pre-painted to match the film on a logo base, or you can buy a fifth generation recast and hire someone to paint it.

Is it low hanging fruit, sure, but we've tried to go above and beyond in creating something cool with each piece. We probably won't be doing anymore maquettes at this time, but I'm damn proud of the ones we've completed.

I don't have the power to delete posts, nor do I care to. It's better to leave peoples words, sometimes they speak volumes.

[tamaboy311]

Okay that's your opinion. CC delivers great work, but the reuse of things created by others is too easy imo.
It's like someone makes a nice drawing (SWS) and another person lays the drawing under a copier machine and says:
"Look what i made" (CC). But this is my opinion.
CC can also take a SWS piece and make/put the dinosaur in a different pose to make it more their own piece/creation.
And on a forum you can say what you want. A forum is all about sharing your thoughts and have discussions.
@tamaboy311 deleting posts? This forum is not a dictatorship.

your opinion is a very crazy one :nuts:. I rather have a maquette as close to the original one over something "original"...btw, their bases are made by them. show some respect for SWS and CC.

[tamaboy311]

keep doing what you are doing guys. we are still gonna buy this awesome pieces.

[John Hammond]

Hey John Hammond, have you thought about not posting the same question in multiple threads?

Yes and then discard it.

[Choopie]

I was trying to give credit where credit is due....

For so long the maquettes have been hard to get or bootleg fifth generation castings. If Stan were alive I'd have done a deal direct and had him sign them. Stan was an awesome guy and when we were doing the T2 license years ago he did something for me so profoundly nice that I have always had the utmost respect for the man.

That's disappointing to read the maquettes have come to a halt. I was hoping we'd see the Dilophosaurus, Triceratops or Brachiosaurus at some point.

[JPBF]

^Well I'm hoping it's just a temporary hiatus to make room for the very crowded JP/JW release year. Right now they're working on The Baby Raptors, Indominus / T-Rex diorama set, female Rex bust, Nedry / Dilophosaurus diorama, Raptors in the kitchen diorama, and the Mosasaur. Non-statues 1:6th Owen and Grant, Hammond's Cane replica, Nightvision Goggles replica, and Barbasol Cryocan replica. The Compsognathus, Velociraptor bust, and Owen / Blue diorama will all be shipping next year.

There is also dream statues such as Owen riding with his pack and the 1:5th T-Rex.

Considering this, you can kind of see where doing maquettes would only get in the way of some much cooler stuff in the works. Still, I want that sick Triceratops maquette with Dr. Grant leaning on it.

[Chronicle CS]

I want to find a casting of the sick tric, if anyone has leads let me know.

I really like all the pieces from you/your company so far. Also those SWS repro's, I adore SWS. Thats not the point. And ofcourse i know that those original pieces are very rare and hard to come by. And that you and your company do want to give us fans something, and use what is still there. It's only that those SWS CC pieces are exact SWS copies, my opinion is only do something special with those SWS pieces to make it more your own creation (just a thought - a little Sarah next to the Stego that gets beaten by the tail or something). And 'lazy' was not the right word but maybe 'a little easy' still a personal opinion, nobody has to agree. Sorry. The last thing I say about this... I'm really happy with you and your company (for lisening to us fans what we like to wish to become real and for us ideas/suggestions, not every company is doing that). Peace.

[Darkhumor]

Its great to hear there's so many pieces being created for this license. But for me to purchase any JP piece, it has to feel like its coming from JP. Or its just any other company creating dinosaurs. These scene pieces I'll definitely invest in, but I'm not so much keen on singular pieces such as baby raptors, etc. Ideally, I want matching pieces in scale to my breakout Rex- iconic poses from the original movie, and then expand into the other movies. The diorama's piqued my interest, but again, iconic poses from individual scenes with just the dino's without humans is what i would like to go with my first iconic posed JP piece- breakout rex.

Yes, everyone can have an opinion. I just wish some people didn't feel the need to share them.

The 1/4 or 1/5 Maquettes are 2nd only to 1:1 piece for me. The dios are great, but I prefer the larger stuff most of the time. Keep 'em coming CC.

[Amanasaur]

The thing that I love about this piece is no one would've expected it but it's so cool to have it. It feels a bit like expanded universe and it doesn't just limit the Jurassic Park to onscreen stuff once we're well into the line and done those it could very well be a possibility to make more of Crash's or other pre-production stuff into statues and still be very much Jurassic Park!

There's so many possibilities and that's why I was so excited when they announced having the license!

[John Hammond]

Considering how famous is the Jurassic Park's logo, you could make some stand that would be the whole logo, I think it would be nice.
Something like the stand of this figure:

[cemo]

if they doing that base is very simple and soft.Some figures maybe looking good but general idea base is complete the figure.if doing like that not include rock,stone etc. Just rigt the words.I think not a good idea.Godzilla looking goood yes because red looking like blood
and godzilla name very know.for example righting stegesaurus figure base stegesaurus.Looks like very funny.Or JURASSIC PARK.not a good idea.of course this is my opinion.

[John Hammond]

I think it could be the Jurassic Park logo or the Jurassic Park logo given to each dinosaur:

[Darkhumor]

To be honest, just my opinion, but if these dino maquettes that Paul is creating aren't iconic in any way to the movies, to me, they feel like a regular dinosaur. That stegosaurus in that picture doesn't have any impact to anything to what I liked about the movie, and I have zero interest from at all purchasing it.

Now, if he made a diorama, with an ill Triceratops and dr. Grant on top of its stomach, listening to it breathe, and its in scale with break out rex, and the Raptor kitchen scene, and continues with other in scale scenes, I'll be solely invested in the license. I just feel he shouldn't waste his time on maquettes when others can just invest in sideshows dinosauria line if they just want dinosaurs.

i understand what you are saying, but imagine having a stan winston maquette in the living room. i really like the "reference" style of the maquettes. it just gives this movie "production" style statue. i dont know how to describe it, but for me its like having a movie prop.

[Manu81]

I understand booth of you.it depends in which are your interests. I am more interested on dioramas for instance and I am buying the breakout because of the scene, the pose and the fence. same with the raptors in the kitchen. I feel these as perfect representations of the movies.
but also I amb with tamaboy because for instance, busts are not dioramas at all and are great representations of the movies too! I think it is also a question of the dinosur represented in the maquette...
sorry for my english!:) paul bring us soon the raptors in the kitchen and more videos of the t rexbreak out please! lol

[darb]

Smh..... the maquettes are just that maquettes made for production minus the base paul added they dont have complex bases they are literally just for designing the models and character.
these are SWS maquettes not some made up dino. Its what CC is about bringing you props/film history and unique pieces not made before.

Also regardless of your SF name the other original bases you came up with are bad lol So unoriginal and uninspired to just have the island outline and cliche dino skull. The godziilla base that just says godzilla lol

[Leekson]

I also prefer dioramas more than maquettes. I think that CC made a booom, a breakout on the market with the Breakout Rex, that was something different comparing to what we could get from Sideshow or Horizon. But I also can't say that the maquettes are lazy, or just regular dinosaurs. If I would own one of them, I would have a feeling that I have one of the screen used pieces.

What more iconic scenes do you guys want from Paul?

Breakout scene is done.
Baby raptors will be done.
Sick Triceratops with Dr Grant will be done.
Nedry vs Dilophosaurus will be done.
Raptors in the kitchen will be done.
"When dinosaurs ruled the earth" probably not because Sideshow made a similar piece.
The only iconic scene that is missing is with Brachiosaurus turning his neck or lifting himself (or herself to be more precisely) on rear legs, and Clever Girl scene

I love TLW, but I really can't remember any iconic scene that captured my imagination as those scenes from JP. Maybe only T-Rex roar in San Diego, or Breakout from SS Venture. The scene where Bull and female eats Eddie is impossible probably because of the Mercedes, the same reason why there are no Explorers on Breakout diorama

I will not comment JP3, the only thing that is worth is Spinosaurus maquette. Just my opinion.

For JW, we get Indominus vs Rex diorama, Owen with Blue and maybe something more

Again, I'm asking what are those iconic scenes and dioramas that you want, and which are not promised by Paul to be done?
Yeah, I forgot there are also 1/6 human characters line.
I think the main problem is that people are impatient and don't read all the post in different threads. Everything will be done, just not in the particular order.

[Phil the sixth]

http://i.imgur.com/qjkNB7m.jpg

You have to think again if you can't see the creativity in the Owen/Blue base ...they are standing in the footprint of the I-rex!If this isn't a nice ,creative touch I don't know what is...

[Phil the sixth]

Ordered.

Now we need a lifesize Blue Raptor bust.

I'd honestly prefer a 1/2 bust of blue...something more affordable and in line with the other (planned) busts,dimension-wise...

[VickPS]

Baby raptors will be done.
Sick Triceratops with Dr Grant will be done.
Nedry vs Dilophosaurus will be done.
Raptors in the kitchen will be done.
The mere thought of these realized in the same quality of breakout or this piece..

http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/kllm.gif

I would also love a Muldoon encounter one.

I think the main problem is that people are impatient and don't read all the post in different threads. Everything will be done, just not in the particular order.
Yes, definitely.

Regarding the maquettes, i personally love the idea. I mean SWS faithful replicas, in our living room and in an actual considerable size is something i think every JP fan has dreamed of. I mean the CC Male bust with glass eyes like these:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbU4MrxVPHw

And a coloration as rich as these:

Would be the closest thing to own the actual animatronic, something crazy to think of.
And it could be actually done, eyes in that video are in the same scale and they fit the rexes perfectly, and they make all the difference of this world in literally bring life to these pieces, just like the animatronic.
Too late for the buck, but i hope they could reconsider this for the real star.

[Leekson]

@VickPS
About the coloration
The first two pictures you've posted are from Galileo Hernandez 1/8 hand puppet T-Rex painted in green as a reference to Bull T-Rex
I personally own his 1/8 T-Rex bust painted in JP1 scheme and I must say, although the details on the bust are great, I'm not blown away by the coloration. When you look at the pics on the net it looks great, but once you get the piece in the hands it's different story. Or maybe he just didn't put much effort when painting my model.
Other pictures are from the same bust, but painted by Manuel Unda (Jurassic Park Repaints). Yes, the coloration is great and rich, but I think that we can't expect something like that from Toynami because these things are mass produced, and Manuel has hand painted that bust, no airbrush and that's a lot of time consuming, they don't have just bust to paint but other products as well
About the glass eyes
It looks great on the video. I've ordered my bust and asked for the glass eyes, but got them painted.
I prefer painted eyes now when looking this bust from CC. When you look the bust from the front, you have a feeling that he looks straight at you, but with glass eyes I have a feeling that they somehow disappear when looked from different angle

[John Hammond]

You have to think again if you can't see the creativity in the Owen/Blue base ...they are standing in the footprint of the I-rex!If this isn't a nice ,creative touch I don't know what is...

The footprint of the I-rex should be bigger.

Yeah i know where they are from, personally i've always found the Hernandez female coloration a bit underwhelming, but just look at that buck hand puppet, not 100% accurate maybe but so rich that looks alive, also because of the glass eyes.

Other pictures are from the same bust, but painted by Manuel Unda (Jurassic Park Repaints).
Actually, last one is a fatherphantom product.

Yes, the coloration is great and rich, but I think that we can't expect something like that from Toynami because these things are mass produced
Well, don't know about Toynami, but i own a couple of 1:4 from Enterbay that are on par with actual SWS stuff in terms of painjob.. mind blowing stuff for real, and in mass products out for 500$.

I prefer painted eyes. When you look the bust from the front, you have a feeling that he looks straight at you, but with glass eyes I have a feeling that they somehow disappear when looked from different angle
Again, i have to disagree.
In fact i think it's the opposite, eyes on CC bust are amazing from this angle:

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160723/9c5412f0492dc18bd44115a9967eb6b7.jpg

But if you look at him from the side, that's what you get:

http://www.statueforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=99566&d=1479252900

In case of glass eyes, you can have the same menacing stare from the front:

While retaining an alive feel from every angle:

Can't have enough praise for glass eyes in general, they literally bring the piece to another, museum quality level.

I mean looks at THX's beauty:

I should have listened to you guys regarding the footprint, damn.

I guess having ILM, Amblin and Universal approve the piece should take a back seat.....

You guys continue to crack me up.

No glass eyes, ever until we get out of this scale. They look like cheap doll eyes, sorry, but they are horrible.

Stan Winston hand painted them and that's good enough for me.

Isn't the Perot museum 1:5? Glass eyes looks incredible on it i think.

[Leekson]

I'm not sure that eyes on the hand puppet are glass. I've seen every image of Galileo's hand puppet and I think he just putted a lot of varnish to get that glossy effect. But on some of his busts there are glass eyes.
Yeah, I know about last pic that it's fatherfantom's but I was lazy to write.
Sorry, my mistake on mass produced comment, you are probably right.
Well, we can discuss as much as we want, but Paul said no to glass eyes, so there is no point.
I think the Perot museum Rex are painted eyes.

I thought they were because of the massive difference beetween them and the ones painted by Manuel Unda on the bust, but maybe you are right.

Well, we can discuss as much as we want, but Paul said no to glass eyes, so there is no point.
Yeah, true.

I think the Perot museum Rex are painted eyes.
I've always thought these were some kind of bird glass eyes, or maybe crafted by the studio, just doesn't looks painted or bidimensional to me.

Yeah, hadn't thought about that. Well, my bad, killer job on the Perot anyway, she looks alive. And menacing af.

[Chuwi]

I have to disagree with paul, i've seen some amazing taxidermy eyes in small models is just about how much effort you put into it.... Galileo has made some amazing glass eyes for small models like the 1:18 bull t rex he made years ago and they dont look like cheap doll eyes, i must know i own two
(i attach pictures of one painted by Manuel Unda and the very first copy of this model owned by the same person who commisioned this model to Galileo Hernandez) https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/65/2f/57/652f5770022630bbfb4ec9cf5dcab5d5.jpg

Speaking of the perot model, i think its a mix between painted and acrylic eyes, the eyeball is painted and then an acrylic coat is set on top to give it that deep look here is a picture

He is not doing glass eyes people. Get over it!!! You are going to annoy them and they are going to end up stopping producing pieces.

[Chuwi]

:laugh: Is not about forcing them to add glass eyes Tamaboy, i just find curious paul saying glass eyes in this scale would look like doll eyes and well there's pictures proving you can have amazing glass eyes in small models, i think it's more about the price and the effort you need to put into each piece to avoid googly eyes

[yankeetrex]

On a related note but also unrelated, its so easy to see that they scanned the 20th scale T-rex and not the Perot Museum model for Jurassic World. I really wish they had aged that model instead, she would have had a whole different look.

[Steve evans]

Hi Paul, not sure how many units you've sold of this item but have you ever considered making two smaller bases and selling a few seperately? The only reason I haven't ordered this is because i'm not into the figures and I have to say you've done a great job with Owen, figures are simply not my thing. I absolutely love what you've done with Blue, the pose, the sculpture and the paint work. The use of decals will ensure a consistent finish...great idea, they worked on the Avatar Neytiri bust. I think sold seperately Blue would be a win, win.
Just a thought.

I think it would be easier if you create the bases yourself. its pretty easy and you have a lot of freedom to make whatever you want. but honestly, CC is not going to invest in smaller bases.

[Steve evans]

Has anyone received theirs yet? I think they are shipping outside the US.

[tamaboy311]

Supposedly this heve been shipping for a while and either is so ugly nobody wants to show it or is so beautiful that people are so mesmerized by it that haven't post anything yet.

I can't not to ask myself a question, since in their words new company has taken over the paintjob and their Pachy is so good, why would CC send a crew member in China to educate them to paint dinosaurs?
One noble tip for CC to save the costs... Don't send members there, but rather make a time lapse video and give them exact paint codes you used for the prototypes

I have though the same thing. a paint time lapse is a great idea.

[SkiaEsh]

Terrible paint job. This is exactly why I have not bought any CC Jurassic pieces, even though they have some very nice sculpts.

Until they show us they can do better paint jobs, I am not going to spend hundreds or even over a thousand on a grail sculpt with a freckle face.

Cheapness =The quality of requiring little effort or sacrifice, especially where this is regarded as devaluing the outcome.

[67L88Stingray]

That particular example does not look great, will have to wait and see if they all look like that.

[Phil the sixth]

Chronicle Collectibles' Jurassic Park/World pieces are actually getting worse with every new production release.
Wow. :thumbsdow

[yankeetrex]

Ouch, would buy this to repaint it, but not paying full price

[daz1999]

I’ve held off with criticism towards CC, I own the breakout (repainted) plus other non Dino pieces, but chose a wait and see approach on their next JP releases, glad I did , not got much faith left that they can deliver on the paint unfortunately, real shame as they create some great sculpts

[Airnoname]

Lol looking at that paint on Blue’s face. Is this for real?

What happen to the one I preordered? I hope Chronicle try to make thing right.

Will wait for more pictures but the picture of Blue’s face tell a lot.


I registered just to see the pictures in this forum and it turn out really dissapoint.

[tamaboy311]

seen the pics again, it looks more like Delta!!

[Airnoname]

And after all complaints about T-Rex with ugly big black dots all over her face, why the same things happen to Blue?

Wonder how Rotunda Rexy will turn out to be then.

[Steve evans]

I'm really surprised by this, I really thought this one would come good after the comments they've made. Maybe it's just a bad example, does anyone else have any photos of it?

[DeadGhostKnight]

I really want to see Owens face now lol.

I know this is only a 1/9 piece but when you look what are Iron Studios are doing with their 1/10 pieces then there's no excuses imo.

[tamaboy311]

Oh man...this is bad. That's just a grayish raptor and some cross eye dude.

[Chrisrex82]

Oh man...this is bad. That's just a grayish raptor and some cross eye dude.

Did Owen step in Kobe Bryant's footprint?

[Twon91]

Yikes.

Glad I passed on this one.

[DeadGhostKnight]

I'd like to see some good pictures tbh, but zooming in on Owens face he looks very confused and lets face it the proto wasn't a great Chris Pratt anyway....but yes the paints look very flat and basic indeed.

At $400 for a 1/9 piece too...

[Airnoname]

So what happen to the prototype and the real one? Do all the paint jobs on final product really look like this?

[Chrisrex82]

So what happen to the prototype and the real one? Do all the paint jobs on final product really look like this?

Keep in mind, in this industry practically all the major "high end" collectible companies are producing fantastic prototypes, that's basically a given across the board, now where you start seeing significant differentiation between companies is in comparing those prototypes to the final product. For my money ECC and Prime1 are probably the most reliable when it comes to delivering final product that look almost identical to the proto. Of course, those two companies are also on the more expensive side, but if you want quality you should be willing to pay for it.

Personally, I think most of Chroncile's JP pieces have failed to deliver a final product nearly identical to proto or final paint worthy of the price point. Chronicle has said before in response to this that they believe there final products are in line with industry expectations as far as difference between proto and final (I disagree) and they have also commented on how much more complex the paint schemes are on these dinos compared to other collectibles like Star Wars figures or superheroes. On that point I agree, these paint schemes are very complex and because Chronicle hasn't really had much competition for this license it's been hard to say whether their final product is "as good as its gonna get." However, with Iron Studios and Prime1 getting in the game it will be interesting to see how their final products turn out. If for example Prime1's Blue final product delivers on the proto that will put more pressure on Chronicle to step up their game..or life will..uh, find a way.

[Airnoname]

Anymore detail pictures?

The ones on facebook dont show close up detail of Blue at all.

[tamaboy311]

Why isn't anybody posting pics?! I would love to see more posts from this.

[Twon91]

I too am waiting on more images.

[Airnoname]

Mine should arrive within 2 weeks, hopefully. But would be nice to see more pics first.

[Airnoname]

Just got mine

Sorry for low quality pictures.

Still dislike dots on Blue’s face. And gotta say I don’t happy about other things too.
Do hope that next piece from Chronicle will be better or closer to the proto, Especially for Rotunda Rex but for now I’m not interest in any other pieces from Chroncile especially when the real product turn out like this.

Let the pictures tell you about this piece so please enjoy.

The rifle seem to have a leather strap (genuine leather?) and it seems delicates. I’m unsure whether it will peel like Hottoys stuffs.

Ps. i did have Blue from prime1 on preordered.

Best in the business...

[Chrisrex82]

I can't believe CC is standing by this product. Takes a lot of balls to ship that out when it's so clearly got a subpar paint job, and not just on the "hard to paint" dino but Owen too. Wait till P1 starts to ship their final Blue, CC is gonna have to dramatically up their game if they are gonna compete.

[Airnoname]

https://uppic.cc/d/KMsC

Lol

The picture above is the licensed figure from SEGA I bought for around 13 usd ( converted to US currency) after a discount code from my local app in my country.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z16rDGJBo4g

My friend did paint this one for me for another 13 usd. Total 26 usd plus shipping. Why I think this one looks better than the Blue in 400 usd statue? (Regardless sizeand materials)

Also, the company who do lower end dino stuffs like I toys, after a few leak final product pics and bad feedback, they did postphone their Trex for a few months to improve the product, their Trex turn out a lot better. But CC decided to release Blue and Owen like this? Seeing about how they want to stand on their product? The pictures on CC’s Facebook are so unclear,we cant see the detail and paint job much.

[tamaboy311]

This is sad because i love CC but after my pachy and tlw raptor, no more jp pieces from them. At least until they change companies. Already have 4 P1 pieces on pre order and im not worried a bit.

[Phil the sixth]

Best in the business...

These production pieces such as Owen & Blue are giving people a destorted perception of what CC is capable of.
But yeah,CC should stay away from producing dinosaurs.It is eroding their good reputation very fast.

Chronicle has no one to blame but themselves. Overpromising, overpricing and under whelming are sure fire ways to erode customer confidence. What are we ultimately getting for the premium prices they're charging? Thank goodness Prime 1 and Iron Studios now have the JP license.

Those factories really need to be watched, these types of poor paintjobs should not get released.

[MATthemes]

Looks ok, but not to today's standards (paint).
Sloppy paint like his left wrist bleeding out on his belt is something that shouldn't pass QC.

[samhain81]

This is bordering on HCG paintwork. Never thought I'd say that for Chronicle

[Dirt Torpedo]

[DeadGhostKnight]

Now PLEASE Pre-order our $1350 T -Rex statue....

Honestly it looks like a paint job from like 10 years ago when you look at older,bad Sideshow pieces...

This is a $400 piece. A $400 piece that's painted much much worse than a $100 Koto ArtFX+ Piece.

The fact that Chronicle thought this was OK and signed off on this, really makes it clear to me that i will never PO from them...

[Airnoname]

Never learn from Breakout it seem, and I think this is worse than Breakout.

Again, it takes some guts to release the product like this.

The lower end company did postpone their TRex for a few months and improve their product a lot (Itoys Trex) but CC choose to do nothing.

I will get this Blue&Owen repaint soon. Have a couple people who can do excellent jobs on Blue but not sure how much we can do to improve Owen. Anyway, repaint should not be required on $400 piece.

Not sure they did sign off on it, they have been getting decent samples, then the actual products look like this. It's why they have a guy going over there now to prevent this BS by the factories.

[SkiaEsh]

Regardless of whether they signed off on it or not, it is CC's responsible to make sure the factories are doing the paint job correctly. I am beginning to think CC's issue with QC is primarily due to lack of close supervision.

[Chrisrex82]

Not sure they did sign off on it, they have been getting decent samples, then the actual products look like this. It's why they have a guy going over there now to prevent this BS by the factories.

Yeah I'm calling BS on that, this isn't the first piece that has come in with a low quality paint app, the Breakout Rex was what 2, 3 years ago now? That's plenty of time to course correct. It's more likely that CC doesn't want to pay higher costs for quality paint app because it would cut into their profit and because they have been the only game in town (until recently) and because enough people still buy the product, they have no incentive to invest more in QC.

And as for the factory, if CC is having these painted by Toynmai it's not the same group of painters who work on the ECC pieces, Toynami charges companies more to use higher skilled painters, CC uses the "it's done at Toynami" to sell the idea that because that company is also the factory for ECC their pieces are comparable in quality (which they aren't).

[tamaboy311]

funny thing is, I'm pretty sure CC has read all of this complains in the forum and haven't said a word to explain or apologize.

Sure, you can believe whatever you want. They already explained they weren't using ECC factory for these cheaper pieces, but the Endo and 1/5 Rex will be made there before they cut ties completely apparently due to these types of lapses from their "other" factories.

[Airnoname]

Whatever reasons or factories is not what I concern, most things I care is my Blue&Owen turn out like this and I have to pay for repaint to make it looks better.
Breakout Rex came out a while back turn out to be not great, they have plenty of time to correct Blue&Owen no matter what reasons they provide they can’t.

CC should stand on their product and keep their reputation by make things right before release it. I admitted I really dissapoint.

I preordered one lower end T-Rex, cost me around 60 USD. After a few leak pictures and the first batch release with really bad feedback and spark the concern over their customers, the company recall all their product(even a few still left out in the market), improve them and postpone the release date for several months. Results are much better, even if not perfect but I’m content.

Example first release:
https://uppic.cc/d/KwgWhttps://uppic.cc/d/KwgX

And improved one
https://uppic.cc/d/KwgYhttps://uppic.cc/d/Kwgz



But CC choose to release Blue+Owen like this. Expect better from them. Should do the same to keep their reputation and customer’s trust even if it will cost them to correct thing.

Now, I’m glad I didn't order Rotunda and wait for P1. Even if CC’s Rotunda turn out great but how can I trust it will turn out great? Too risky for 1350 usd.


Anyway, Sorry for complaining. I think I should stop now. Will post update when my Blue&Owen was repainted. Hopefully not cost me much and make this piece looks OK.

[Phil the sixth]

I have always been under the impression that all of CC's stuff was manufactured in the Toynami factories.
Except for the 1/4 endo of course which was a' misstake' Paul would never repeat again.
Paul was so proud of his Toynami adventure from day 1 and it was actually one of CC's main selling points!
I wasn't aware 'officially' that some of their pieces were manufactured in other factories.My suspicions turned out to be valid afterall.
That's another reason for me why I will never pre-order their stuff again cause frankly,their dino pieces are HCG statue level quality.The lowest quality the hobby has to offer.But then at very steep prices!Unbelievable.

[Steve evans]

Sorry for a bad light but paint app looks terrible in person regardless the light.

The last one is a cheap licensed figure repainted from SEGA on same light.

[Steve evans]

Thanks for posting the photos Airnoname. The paint app appears to be worse on the head, which was the main area of concern on the Breakout Rex. The body on Blue doesn't seem too bad. It seems strange that the most important part, the head, gets such little attention.

[Leekson]

Am I the only one who is seeing the lack of skin texture on the top of the head, back and tail? It looks almost flat

Yeah totally agree. I was under the impression that CC used ONLY the good factories and after bad pieces like the Endo they were pulling out all the stops to make sure their products we're the best out there.

Obviously not.

Thank Jebus for Prime 1 that's all i can say.

[oddlysober]

Yup, my confidence is with Prime 1 as well for delivering great JP pieces to collectors. I have to wonder what happened to Chronicle, is this the same company that made Robocain and Ed-209?

You are misunderstanding. Toynami apparently has multiple factories, the one where ECC stuff is made being the best. I think they got shafted by Toynami putting out this quality of work which is probably why they are cutting ties with them.

[Phil the sixth]

Thanks for the clarification Stingray.Now I understand the whole picture.

It's because they got files and a lot of pics from ILM, but decided to change it to look more natural, since ILM doesn't know to do their job. Something similar like Rotunda Rex neck for example

Well, I guess we can't blame CC or be unsatisfied, they told us this could happen, right?

I’m not so sure the base color is bad. The pictures kind of suck lol. Blue refers to the stripe because I don’t believe she’s blue all around in the films. Can we get some better photos?

[Airnoname]

This one better?

I took last few pictures at night without proper light.

Here the ones I took in the morning.

Since I have it in person, I know for sure the paint job is really bad. The sculpt is not that great but it is acceptable and Owen doesn’t look like Owen, just some random guy. But the worst part is a paint job. (Which I personaly think it is at unacceptable level considering the price)

[Kefka2200]

Yeah the paint is pretty bad. I’m kind of shocked. Chronicle has never had anything this bad. If I heard correctly, they changed or are changing factories, so hopefully that’s a good sign. I have the LW male raptor bust paid off and it better turn out. I have faith in it because I think on a larger piece it’ll be easier to paint, but now I’m nervous. My JP female raptor bust is amazing, so...here’s hoping.

Big difference between paints changing and just a bad paint job.

Joke aside regarding my previous post about the paintjob... Let's be realistic, this is very complicated paintjob for both Owen and Blue. It takes serious effort to capture the likeness of the human at that scale and sometimes it's easier to paint bigger pieces.
However, what constantly keep surprising me is that with present technology of 3D scanning and printing, CC fails to deliver nice dinosaur sculpt. I've examined the prototype photos and this has nothing to do with bad casting. The model looks flat, it lacks skin texture. Damn, some smaller and cheaper toys have better texture

I have a $30 raptor figure from Rebor that looks way more accurate than this lol.

Here is the kind of painting you can get on a 30USD papo Trex :)

Here's a shot i took of my Papo Blue Raptor and Trex.

https://i.imgur.com/kvV5rHh.jpg

Are they the most amazing paints? No. But the Raptor was £6 ($10) & the Rex was £15 ($20) so are they the most amazing paints for their price range. Very much so YES.

Now compare this to the $400 Owen & Blue....

[tidus]

This is sad because i love CC but after my pachy and tlw raptor, no more jp pieces from them.

Wasn't the pachy one of the best painted pieces or something? Same factory as JP1 raptor bust? That's what people were saying.

The Pachy was beautiful, as is my female raptor bust. It’s unfortunate that they can’t seem to get that factory to perform consistently.

Well, no official response from Chronicle yet. No comments on this piece, no explaination, no apology, nothing.

I really wonder why Chronicle have courage to ship this $400 piece out like this without make things right first. If you see it comes out this bad, should improve/correct thing before shipping them put even if the release date will be postponed. (Some company will do)

This type of product hurt Chronicle’s reputation so hard and how can future customers trust what Rotunda Rex gonna turn out to be?

Thanks for making my statue becomes a joke lol.

Hi folks! I checked with Heather the other week when I started seeing a couple of complaints about the paint on here. She said we had not received one complaint from any customer about it. As you know, if you are unhappy with a product you have purchased from us, please contact our superior customer service department for support.

Because they can... Why not, when people are sheep. They've already done it with more expensive statues, so why not with $400 piece. Most of the people waited for their pieces a long time and after finally getting them they probably don't want to get through all the boredom of refund and returning the item. Also, you need to know that not all of the pieces are ordered directly from CC, each distributor has it's own return and refund policy

[Airnoname]

Well I did order directly from them but it took me around $150 usd before arriving in my country with tax/shipping and etc. Thinking about that, it is not worth to ship back and going through the process to return, it will cost me a lot more (shipping both ways, tax again) Will let someone paint this piece to improve it, nothing can do about sculpt but a moderate painter can do a lot better than what Chronicle did.

Just to express my opinion, I’m unhappy and Chronicle should not let the piece like this comes out again. You lost trust from a lot of customers (and this statue becomes a joke on some forums and collector’s groups lol)

Hey Robert are you happy with how this piece came out?

That's fine if you haven't received any complaints about the paint job from customers, but are you and the team personally satisfied that this is good enough to be put out by CC and have the CC name on it...and is this what we should expect going forward with future releases?

Because for me just the fact that you you let this go out to customers like this, along with other sub par paint jobs on products, really puts me off from buying anything from CC.....regardless of whether you have had complaints to your superior customer service department.

[Phil the sixth]

Well said guys.
But in all honesty what can we expect they will say?They still have to sell the rest of these low quality statues to the ignorant and/or convince the new owners they've received great value for their money.Believe me,acting as if there's nothing wrong is the right strategy. :D

[Leekson]

Believe me,acting as if there's nothing wrong is the right strategy. :D

This and "große Lüge" strategy or should I say Rotunda Rex strategy

Haha nice digging man.

If he's seen the production pieces and thinks it looks great and it took so long because they wanted to get it just right...then yeah CC's standards aren't in line with mine at all.

To be fair, these pieces can vary wildly from one example to another, so you can't be sure how the ones were he has seen. I've had Sideshow pieces so bad piece to piece they were completely different colors when they weren't supposed to be.

[Airnoname]

Even the one they posted on their facebook page comes with blur/unclear pictures to hide how magnificient the paint job actually is. Slow to get thong right? Lol

Btw, I look back at their facebook page and the pictures are not there anymore. (They posted unclear/blur pictures a while back)

I didn’t see one with excellent paint job yet.
