I found this one online :
The detailing looks great..but the color pattern isn't that good.
Will this be our 2nd Quarter dinosaur piece ? If so that could fit well..right around tax return time. Assuming Sideshow is going for 4 a year again...one every Quarter would be reasonable wouldn't it ?
Personally, I could never get around the fact that the Trcic Allosaurus in that statue looks like it got violently sick while running at full speed.
As to this statue, I think Dan's " artistic rendition" isn't entirely implausible, though odds favor the Camarasaurus actually being a bit smaller still. Remember they averaged 60-65 feet in length which puts them at about 1.5 times the length of a large adult Allosaurus. Nice, though, that they are making it a pair of Allosaurs doing the attacking. It's what I would have hoped for in such a piece, and SS has delivered, much to my alacrity.
The trend in representation that I'm really liking in this line is that every piece is somehow unexpectedly delightful in realization. In the T.rex VS Triceratops dio no one expected both animals to be so viciously entwined in a plunge to their deaths down a cliffside; the Carnotaurus was so unusual and out of the mainstream that it garnered immense affection for its peculiarity, dynamism, and ferocity; the Styracosaurus may be much smaller than its cousin T.horridus, but what it lacked in size it made up for in regality and vibrance; the T.rex maquette took the the king of theropods outside of the realm of traditional august representations to show what the most ferocious of Tyrannosaurs may well have looked like; and the Deinosuchus maquette bust onto the scene with such a cold-blooded fury that its presence in a SS dio this early on in the line was as surprising to viewers as it was to the Parasaurolophus. Like most here, I would have thought if Allosaurus were to be depicted in a VS dio, it would probably be with a Stegosaurus. Well, we got our Allosaurus VS dio, but the opposing dinosaur is a small sauropod species, upon whose bones we have evidence of Allosaurus attacks. Artwork with Allosaurs attacking Camarasaurs isn't unheard of, but to see SS create their take is a very pleasant surprise. Remember Todd Marshall's piece, "Death Cry" in which a pair of juvenile A.jimmadseni attack a subadult Camarasaur, with the adult Allosaurs stalking in their wake?
Also, the oil painting by Josef Moravec.
SS has now added their own artwork to the pantheon. Thank you, Sideshow, for thinking outside the box.
