    I can't really tell if I like it or not. Seems like something I would've played with when I was 8, and the proportions remind me a whole lot of these guys

    I like the idea though. Really throwback-y.

    I can only say the same, I'll pass on this one, really was expecting something more along the lines of the previous sculpts.

    So if most of you don't like it, does that mean I will be able to get one? Without buying it second-hand? I can only hope.

    Nope. Unfortunately it's about the name on the foot.

    Daimyo - I'm not sure what exactly that is, but it looks familiar and I think it's probably what I was thinking of when I compared the Tyranno-ju to a TRU toy.

    I'm digging this Dino! This sculpture would look even better if given the thrash out treatment :D

    Agree. I do like the sculpt. But smaller more vicious eyes would have made it better.

    I think it would look great in red vinyl. :D

    Good eye, c.k. Devil Dinosaur is the closest yet.

    The head sculpt has the same flatter croc-like feel to it. And Tyranno's teeth are definitely croc more than dinosaur.

    I think the smaller eyes would have been better(The size of a pin head). That would suggest the Tyrano relied on his sense of smell and since apes stink he would have no problem finding Gorilla Ju.
