172: Nanmu Walking Brachiosaurus (Watchmen, Grey) Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- If ever there were any Jurassic Park dinosaurs I wanted, it would be the most iconic dinosaurs. Since I didn't like the Velociraptors, for me that leaves Brachiosaurus and T Rex. The T Rex I acquired in the Once and Future King Buck T Rex, and now in this Watchmen Walking grey variant, I have the Brachio.
It's large, as befits a sauropod, and certainly makes an impact on any shelf of Jurassic Park dinosaurs. It displays very nicely next to the W-Dragon Giraffatitan too! With the detail that Nanmu is famous for, and a nice paint application to top it off, this one is a no-brainer if you've ever wanted a JP Brachiosaurus.

Talking about "accuracy", every few years we have a new accurate version of all dinosaurs, so I am really happy with both the Nanmu and the W-Dragon as they are. My regret is that I have not been able to get the Standing version from Nanmu, not even in Ebay. Thank you DinosDragons for this excellent comparison.
You're most welcome! The thing about accuracy is that with the speed of new discoveries, it's not really possibly to have _the_ definitive version of many dinosaurs. So I'm quite happy to have any model that, at the point of purchase, represented the best known iteration then. That's how I continue loving my old Carnegies from 30 years or so ago.
I really have mixed feelings about the standing one. You may have watched my 'Lying Brachiosaurus' video. That story seems to be the norm, with undamaged ones being the exception. you would probably have to pay a lot for it, only to have to top up some more for repairs. And not everyone was as lucky as I was, to have quite a clean break with just some stray chips that the expert I consulted was able to patch.
"it's..it's a dinosaur!" Alan Grant, Jurassic Park 1993
Exactly! 😁
I want to see a size comparassion between your biggest sauropods vs Paraceratherium 😎
Yikes, that is an idea that I really should have done for all my large sauropods! I'll try to remember to include the Paraceratherium in future large sauropod reviews!
EXACTLY the type of review on this I was hoping you’d do! This seems like a great model, but since I prefer accuracy and already have the W Dragon, I think I’ll pass on this one. Thank you for helping clarify and providing great information as usual!
You're most welcome as always Michael! I try to do this for those that are especially expensive as I know this isn't the best of times. I'd say you really do lose nothing if you prefer accuracy, and this is really for JP nostalgia. There is a fineness in the W-Dragon that the Nanmu lacks, and you can definitely be proud to own just that!
Beautiful. Sauropods are my favorites dinosaurs
Haha mine too! My favourite group of dinosaurs!
Love the colors and the comparision. These gentle giants are a sight to behold.... ❤
They definitely are! But giants being giants, they could step on us and not even notice it, so keep a healthy distance!
I get that some people will prefer more scientifically accurate versions of dinosaurs. But since we’ll never truly know what a specific dinosaur looked like in real life, and what is scientifically accurate now might not necessarily be so in 10 years of continued research, I personally prefer an accurate version of a movie dino over a scientifically accurate dino that still might look very different from the real deal.
Well it's all down to personal preference of course. I like that each model is scientifically accurate as at time of production, and when I look back at my old Carnegies, I appreciate them as a snapshot of what was known back then. But for the case of movie accuracy, you of course have the advantage of permanence! At least, unless they rebooted and came up with new movie versions of old movie dinos! 🙂
The dinosaur who made me cry
You, me, and countless others! 😁
Incrdile. Can't wait for mine
You won't be disappointed!
I really wish we get an accurate 1:40 scale brachiosaurus some time soon
Me too. So sad W-Dragon doesn't do any accurate models anymore, I'd kill for more from them.
@@enderdefender7406 agreed. I m just hoping maybe eofauna or pnso makes one
@@theacro3472 definitely have high hopes for eofauna as well. can‘t wait to see their diplodocus release in february. but with their production rate of figures and models it could take a while to get another big sauropod
If Nanmu were to ever decide to start with accurate dinosaurs, I would have to get a second job.
Ha! 1:44, another reason I’m glad I went with the grey variant! Nice to see this in hand!
That was really a moving scene in an otherwise fun ride of a movie. In fact Fallen Kingdom is hopefully where people start to feel different dimensions of this issue.
8:38, its a perfect size comparison.
Already owning the giraffatitan, if I were to purchase a Nanmu brachiosaurus it would be the rearing-up one.
Yes unless you really must have a JP Brachio. As for the standing, watch my last video 😅
@@DinosDragons Oh no! That's such a shame...
Ooooooh it's a masterpiece!
For sure! Something beautiful about its simple dignity!
now i kind of regret not getting the grey variant. but i am still very excited to get mine in the mail hopefully soon and put it next to my wdragon giraffatitan. i really do also wish though, that there would be a nicely detailed model this size of brachiosaurus that is more scientifically accurate some time soon
Me too. It's hard to find large sauropods nowadays because of the risk to the manufacturer of not getting enough volume of sales to justify cost of production and shipping.
I am sure that you'll really like it when you receive yours, grey or brown! 😁
@@DinosDragons i have no doubt about that :) great review as always btw.!
6:06, wow, they are the exact same size and the exact same height!
Almost! The Giraffatitan is slightly taller. 😀
I ordered a grey just like you. Now, I am waiting to get it.
It will be worth the wait! I am sure of it!
Awesome review! Wishful thinking, Wdragon might be doing an official Brachio soon
Thank you! I didn't know W Dragon would be doing an official Brachio. Like a JP Brachio? I wouldn't be surprised since they got the official licence for the Indoraptor and Indominus Rex.
@@DinosDragons not yet official. It’s just me wishing 😅😂 I hope they do it one day 🙏🏻
cool!
It really is impressive!
Epic review
Thank you, it's quite an epic model! 😁
Inaccuracies aside, I’ll probably get one to create a family diorama with a Tamiya pre-built Brachiosaurus I found on eBay. Both seem to have similar inaccuracies. The Tamiya kit would be easy to resculpt around the poorly realized feet but I’m not sure I want to go that route with the Nanmu Brachiosaurus.
Still a very nice figure for the price.
Excellent! That Tamiya Brachiosaurus is a classic and still mighty impressive. Sadly I have zero skill to do a kit and then paint it up, but I have seen what my friend did, and I would say that's still a Brachiosaurus that will have a presence in any collection. Good find!
@@DinosDragons yeah, I had planned on a large generational diorama with a trio of adult brachiosaurus that would have portrayed a scene of walking/browsing animals in a forest scene including sub-adults and juveniles with the standing Nanmu Brachiosaurus as a center point.
The Tamiya kit will need a complete repaint but it wasn’t done well to begin with. If it ever comes to fruition, I’ll send you a pic.
Have a great day.
Absolute unit of a figure, and so beautiful too. Loving the comparison with the Giraffatitan! (also that scene of the Brachio on the jetty has stuck with me ever since...)
Just a thought, would you be interested in showing more comparisons between figures of the same scale? e.g. this Brachiosaurus and the Giraffatitan next to, say, PNSO's Biber & Rook, or Eofauna's Giganotosaurus (1:35) - would be so nice to see how they scaled with each other (:
I do that for related dinosaurs, and also with dinosaurs that I am sure most people would have. Hence in many videos I use PNSO's 2020 Wilson 😁 But if I had done more comparisons the video would have been inordinatel long. I'll consider doing that in future, especially since the EoFauna Giganotosaurus is within easy reach! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@DinosDragons Agreed, Wilson is a great choice (still trying to decide whether to get him myself) 👍🏼
I recently got a 1:35 human to scale with my models and I didn't expect imagining the dinos' real-life sizes to be quite so fascinating. Thanks for hearing me out!
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉
You're most welcome, thank you!
Thank you for this video!!! I am trying to decide which color is Nanmu i will take it. Any suggestion between grey and the new color “differ”? Thanks
It really depends on what your preferences are. For me, I will only buy scientifically accurate dinosaurs as a rule. So when I buy a Nanmu JP-style dinosaur, it's purely because of my want to have a JP-link. That being the case, I chose this Grey one since it was in the movie and the one sad scene in JWFK, and I already was going to get the original brown in the standing version. The new version looks nice, but doesn't serve the significance I would buy a Nanmu for.
If you have no special reason for wanting to get this, perhaps you can consider just going with the colour scheme you like best! 😊
hey they now have green JP3 color for brachiosaurus. I think its most detailed of all 3 from colors nanmu. Check it out
Do you think the grey or brown variant to be the closest to the 1993 Jurassic Park brachiosaurus?
I believe the original one was brown. The gray one I remember most vividly from the last movie.
I like this review and this figure
Thank you it's really quite an amazing model!
Really nice review and side by side comparation is great info. Thanks a lot. If only they released this one 1st... I owned a W-Dragon one and probably pass on this one, maybe considering about 2 legs standing version. 2 legs version not arrived yet?
Lol. Do you consider dead on arrival "arrived"? 🤣
@@DinosDragons past participle, isn't it. Anyway I'm not native English speaker so whatever.
Edit: I haven't watched your last video, so maybe something to it.
@@3enjamin I am indeed referring to my last video. I don't insult my viewers!
I really hope some more giraffatitan are produced in a new wave. They seem sold out in most places, is there any site that still sells them?
I just checked, it seems that Lanatimeshop still has them. But from what I hear, they were pretty much sold out quick, within two weeks.
8:00 yes, the W Dragon Giraffititan is more accurate.
Yes I really hope W-Dragon makes more real dinosaurs in future!
I was afraid that it would be hollow like Nanmu‘s apatosaurus. Thankfully it’s not. 👍👍👍
No it's definitely like a bludgeon, but it also means that it's less forgiving if dropped. Be careful with it!
@@DinosDragons Thank you, I will. 😂
@@DinosDragons hi! is wdragon giraffatitan this fragile as well? i just ordered mine and just realized this
How does the Nanmu Brachiosaurus compare to the Papo Brachiosaurus?
I don't have the Papo Brachiosaurus. But I do recall that the Papo is heavily muscled, perhaps overly muscled. If you like that sort of look that might be your thing. Both of course aren't companies known for accurate dinosaurs, but I would say overall I prefer the Nanmu.
@@DinosDragons Thanks for the reply. I have the Papo Brachiosaurus and liked its detailed skin texture, but its bland color is a negative. I'm sitting on the fence for the Nanmu grey/green version which appears to have a more dynamic paint scheme.
Do you have an official instagram page?
I don't know if I would give it such a grandiose ring 😁 But I do have an IG page, dinosdragons. I post there rather irregularly.
I prefer W - Dragon's giraffatitan but It's really beautiful 👌 Now I'm expect to see giraffatitan made by Sanctum 👀🤔
I'm not familiar with Sanctum. What is it?
