CollectA 2014 - Sneak Preview Photo: Ichthyovenator

Aaaargh no more items until early Nov why dear CollectA?

The Ichthyovenator is an aesthetically pleasing figurine for sure, but I'm slightly bothered by the fact that he'd scarcely be able to stand statically like that with his supporting legs set even and so far back. The weight distribution just wouldn't work; the tail, even if of sheer muscle, tendon and bone, isn't hefty enough to counterbalance his forequarters, especially not with the presumed guts sliding forwards towards his chest cavity as he bows down. It's just a biomechanical quibble, sure, but one that niggles me.

 Everything Dinosaur says the model will have a base and that CollectA is working on it actually.
They also says that the prototype stands quite well

I'm sure it'll be made stand by external aids, yes - but I was talking about the biomechanics of the animal the figurine models. If the model were an actual animal, it would not be able to sustain that static pose without falling on its face.

I predict CollectA will release another weird,recently discovered,exotic dinos in 2014.Let's see what happens. 
I suggested them a Deluxe Allosaurus,a Deluxe Balaur and Yutyrannus,so if that happens,you could thank me lol
