Iron Studios: Jurassic Park ‘T-Rex Ending Scene’

[Lemmiwinkles]

1/20 is a strange choice considering the excellent sick triceratops diorama is 1/10. 1/20 for the brachiosaurus scene makes sense dude to the vertical size and it probably not being that popular (carnivores sell better).

However. I believe they went with 1/20 thinking they were going up against both Chronicle Collectibles and Prime 1’s version of the rotunda and decided that price > size. Of course, that was before Chronicle Collectibles up and left so they should have gone back and redone it as 1/10. Might have been far too late though.

It's not that great of a value, though. Since 1/10 Rex was $650 on its own, a 1/20 version should run for $400 tops. Add a couple raptors (1/10 versions were $120ish so 1/20 should be around $70) and four humans (1/10 were $90 so these ought to be $50 each) and this entire piece should cost no more than $750. That's with some leeway in the price divisions, too.

You could argue that the number of components makes this a more complex item and thus justifies a price greater than the sum of its parts, but I can't imagine people feeling good about dropping nearly $1K on a Jurassic Park piece that's 10" tall.

I meant compared to Chronicle Collectibles rotunda at $1350 and Prime 1’s at $1999. A 1/10th scale would have put them in the fighting ring up against two other companies that were probably very close to production and probably in the middle price-wise. I think it’s a pretty good price point compared to Chronicle and I think that’s who they were aiming to undercut.

900 $ for a 10 inch T-rex ??? Ok.

Remember they made some of the figures from the Brachio diorama available as 1/10 one-offs, even thought the original was 1/20. MAYBE they do something similar with the t-rex in this one, but I'm not holding my breath. Such a bummer.

since i got screwed out of that piece from CC was waiting to see this one, soooo disappointing, only 10 inches high !! god why so bloody small ?? man this could have been epic in a larger scale, amazing no one spoke up and said HEY, why are we making this so small ?

The prices for Statues are getting out of control. I Remember when getting a SS PF quarter scale was under $300..I get that they now are more detailed..but $900 for a 1/10 scale? This hobby is not what it once was..you have to be very picky on what you get.

They had a lot of problems with the 1/10 Rex breakout diorama and a lot of people were not happy about the high price. I can totally see why they opted to go smaller this time. If this piece was done in 1/10 it would cost a fortune plus high shipping costs ...and everyone would be complaining about that. Either way, they can't win
