>>11233111>>11233113I definitely think the Nanmu figures still have the edge on the BOTM figures when it comes to paint. Though the Melanistic Sabertooth really looks like it may almost be on par with them and is a tempting purchase if I didn't already have the cyberzoic sabertooth on pre-order. That being said, the red on the Allosaurus' eye that leads back into a stripe is well done almost on par with the blue on the male raptor's eyes and the white stripe going down its body and far better than any similar patterning that David's done before.
I do think the BOTM Allo has significantly better joint cuts than either the Nanmu figures which beyond looking nicer, don't sacrifice range of motion unlike the Velociraptor's neck or the Carno's waist.
Maybe after I get my hands on the $80 Nanmu V.rex and I can pose it alongside the Allo to see how the paint and articulation balance out I'll be less positive about the Allosaurus, because it's closer in size while being $40 cheaper, but the Carno and the Velociraptor are dwarfed by the Allo and their articulation is uglier so I'm less persuaded by the Raptor and Carno being $50 compared to the Allo's $110
One thing I will say that I'd like both companies to improve on is paint chipping issues. The paint chipping on my Nanmu Velociraptor's neck and my Daspletosaurus' hips are really noticeable because of the light colored plastic they are made of.
>11233119>Then you back peddle when someone has some of the figuresWhy are you making shit up? I literally complained about the Allosaurus' face stripe in the very first post I made about the figure
>>11231759 and I complained about the blue stripes on the Dilo's crest in the last thread
>>11179106 for the same reason. The rest of the paint apps have improved significantly. You may not like the stylistic choice of making its display structure a harsh blue, but that's a stylistic opinion and not a critique of sloppy paint apps.
