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...

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

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..



I would also love a Muldoon encounter one.

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:

And a coloration as rich as these:

Spoiler

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.

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

The footprint of the I-rex should be bigger.

How big did you guys engineer it to be Mr. Hammond?

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.

Actually, last one is a fatherphantom product.

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$.

Again, i have to disagree.
In fact i think it's the opposite, eyes on CC bust are amazing from this angle:



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



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:



Or these.. don't know what they are, but looks amazing and with a simple but 100% effective paint job applied on them:

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.

This base and statue in general looks amazing, Paul. If i hadn't hated JW this piece would be a no brainer really, can't wait to see the rest of the 1:9 line.

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