I got to pre-order this dimetrodon as it was my 23rd Birthday on Jan 4th! This review has got me even more hyped for the dimetrodon. Great review Andy

Probably the most disappointing head sculped of the line as well as poorly defined eyes.
@TheMethodicalJackHorse9 ай бұрын
Literally, the only reason I collect this line is because all dinosaurs are supposed to be able to move their heads from right to left, AND THIS ONE CAN'T DO THAT, no no no no, terrible figure and enzyme, the sculpt is horrible

The teeth / dental pattern and skull shape of Dimetrodon are one of the most distinctive PARTS of the animal- in fact the name Di-metro-don MEANS "two measures (of) teeth", referring to the changes in its dentition along the jaw - so ESPECIALLY for this genus, getting it wrong is a big L (to see what I mean, look up the actual skull of Dimetrodon - it's pretty wicked - big fang-like teeth toward the premaxilla (front part) and smaller cutting teeth in back, with a distinctive "notch" shape in the upper jaw toward the front) - and they seem too have not allowed the hind legs to splay outward, which for a Permian synapsid is a big F-up. Nice to see non-dinosaur figures, especially Permian, but it could be much better with a couple tweaks.

I can get mine to splay nicely. Squat boi. One of the few redeeming qualities.

Coming off the heels of the carnotaurus, this dimetrodon is terrible.
@EpicJasonX90009 ай бұрын
hmmmm, while I do really like it and plan to pick it up at some point, I must say that the mainline figures is just slightly better since the arms on those figures is proportionately more correct to the way the arms are positioned. the jaw joints really needed to be improved, and the whole glass eye thing needs to be approached differently since many figures have a hard time getting them exposed and in many video reviews you get this dead eye look to them. I would be in favor of a wild roars version to allow them to beef up the size and give it a more definitive sculpt.

I will probably purchase this figure at a later date when it’s on sale for much less, for the quality I just can’t justify the price. The head sculpt is terrible..

Mattel is so lazy that they didn’t give the dimetrodon wrist articulation.
@Dandidoo6249 ай бұрын
They aren’t lazy, it’s just that the wrists are so small that they’d likely snap extremely easily if they tried adding articulation

@@JurassicBattleDroid ok fair enough but there isn’t much need for wrist articulation on a quadrupedal figure and they’d have to make the foot bigger which would make the figure look a lot worse

Dimetrodon is my most favorite synapsid since i was a kid. Pass about the teeth, for me, Hammond Collection Dominion Dimetrodon look awesome, Andy. Cannot wait to purchase Hammond Collection Dominion Dimetrodon soon, Dino-great video, Andy 🌷🤗.

Looks great, but the mouth not closing flush is pretty disappointing. Hopefully it’s not a widespread issue. Perhaps a heat treatment will fix it.
@jacobcox45659 ай бұрын
The figure is nice. Shame it's of the JW:D design. It looks like the creature design team took Dimetrodon, stripped it of all its unique features save for the sail, and just made it a big lizard with a mini T. rex head. They could've kept the head accurately shaped at least.

If they used the Standard dimetrodon version but with better teeth, eyes, and same articulation I would have liked that better. Hammond collection just isn’t it idk. Not the same vibe as the Carnotaurus Hammond collection Figure.
