I can get more accurate statues from artists that put in the time to research the animals. The Spino design actually bothers me the most looking like a large varnid lizard with a sail? It's pretty far from the scientifically accurate one we have thus far too. I would have preferred a Quetz based on the Dominion design, far nicer. This one could have been another species if they had liked. Tupuxuara?

This is the largest pterosaur I own, Scale: 1/10
Size: 23.6" L(600MM) X 44.5" W(Wingspan 1130MM) X 28.3" H(720MM)

The point of Jurassic, and especially of Rebirth, is that they’re not accurate. Or at least that’s what they’ve run with since the World movies and we now have a better understanding of what dinosaurs may have looked like.

For myself, I’m trying to stick strictly with JP. And that’s been quite easy as they’ve focused on that film and that’s what they’ve done most dioramas from. I’m surprised they haven’t, at least yet, done more dioramas from different films. A diorama of a Stegosaurus or two walking in front of Malcolm, Eddie and Nick would be amazing.

I know the belief is that " herbivores don't sell" but I would love a Parasauroplophus and Corythosaurus stampede piece. Maybe some concept pieces? TLW Raptors vs the JP3 ones, Spino vs Raptors, Brachiosaurus vs Tyrannosaurus? The VS concept worked great for Sideshow awhile back.

Yeah the Lost World has some great scenes. I'm waiting on my t rex cliff attack from Prime 1

Same. no idea if mine is in this batch or second.

I don't think inaccuracy was ever the intention of the original films, or even the new ones. In fact I believe the only way they excused the inaccuracies was with a random piece of dialogue from one of the Jurassic World movies.

I don't even remember Quetzalcoatlus being in Dominion, but I don't remember anything about Dominion really.

That statue looks great.

I think the first problem was with Grant's line in JP3 " What Hammond and Ingen did at Jurassic Park was create genetically engineered theme park monsters..."

That was a jumping of point for them being inaccurate or being labeled as such..time did the rest.

Wu and Hammond discuss it in the novel how they can alter them with different variations though.


Yeah it attacks the plan they are taking to Biosyn valley among a few other shots.

Thanks!

That?s what I mean, they tried to excuse the inaccuracy in JW with Wu?s line.
But with rebirth, from what I gather, they?re intentionally inaccurate because it was the original experimental playground.

The first two films (and the books) were focused on as much scientific data as they could be. They do discuss alterations, but that was in the book. Moreover it was referencing an ability to alter if they needed/wanted to do it. The idea there, which is Malcolm's Big complaint in general, is the perversion of science.

They had Jack Horner on set and behind the scenes a lot to try and be as accurate as possible in the first two films. Now, I'm not blind to the obvious inaccuracies, but Spielberg chose not to do feathers because it's not as scary and likely to save time. Along with that he made the Velociraptors significantly bigger than they were, but in a happy coincidence, the Utah Raptor was discovered during production and made it easier to hand-wave their size.

I can enjoy the hybrid dinos, but in all honesty it isn't as interesting. Dinosaurs are scary enough if you do it right (first film showed that). If they're all mutated, it's just a monster flick. It's Godzilla or King Kong. Jurassic Park's draw with a lot of people was the science, the ability or idea this could be done. It was just believable enough and they cared about trying to give life to dinosaurs, rather than treat them as lizards or non-familial creatures as Bakker theorized. That stuff is why i love the series. Unfortunately that stuff is gone.
