Awesome!!!

A preview of Titantic Triceratops, my next Dinosaur Creation. I'm planning on making a Protoceratops, Styrachosaurus and Monoclonius from this basic design, though they'll be more than head-swaps (different armor details, some with weapon-hands, size variation, etc.)
Thoughts?
4 Cestopsians.Freaking Awesome Man! I am Totally interested in these!Cant wait to see the other Sculpts!

I'm surprised no one has said anything but the weapon arm is on the wrong side.All Beast-former weapons arms are on their left.Not a big deal but if your going for the battle beast look, its on the their left.

So are you switching it?

I'm doing a few things the original BB line didn't. I'm probably going to vary the side weapon hands are on and once a design gets tested it will likely get a complete alternate deco as well. There's also the matter of the full-length tails (largely because stegosaurs and ankylosaurs are planned and I wanted to be consistent)
Stalwart Styracosaurus, another one in the pipe for once I'm 100% sure on the joint tolerances for the full color prints.

These are just awesome.
Have you thought about having one of these printed to make a mold for casting in rubber?

It says that the full coloured sandstone has a "delicate feel." Does this mean that they are delicate? Sorry, I'm not really up to speed on this 3D printing stuff!

Sandstone is weaker than plastic. Its usally used for decorative pieces That no one touches for years on end.

yeah, would be good for mold-making though I think. my only question is about the surface texture of the sandstore prints. are they rough like I would expect them to be, or smoothed out / finished somehow?

Sandstone has a slightly rough, grainy feel and is meant more for display pieces. Shapeways has a full-color plastic material but it is currently in testing, pending release to a larger audience. It's more expensive but would be more toy-like. If you were looking for something to use for casting, the frosted detail or frosted ultra detail would be the way to go.
The print of Rampager Rex above is in the sandstone material, so you can see the texturing there.

Wait--so all the photos above are of the full-color "sandstone" material? Not the new full-color polyamide?
Just wanted to be clear about this. "Sandstone" (or whatever it's REALLY called...I hate Shapeshit's moronic marketing terminology) is ass when it comes to toys. Hyper-rigid and hyper-brittle. Polyamide, on the other hand, is essentially solid nylon...and is probably the most indestructible of all 3D printed materials (short of metal, of course!). Plus, polyamide is slightly flexible and reasonably priced (compared to STL photopolymers like 3D Systems stuff--what Shapeshit calls "Frosted Ultra Detail"). Pretty much perfect for toys...except that it has a slightly rough/grainy texture, much like "sandstone".

Yeah, a poster over at the Allspark forums got his sandstone print early and those are pics of his. I used his feedback to reinforce the upper arms for strength in that material, since a lot of people are going to want to take the cheapest option for a display piece. I have a full color polyamide copy on its way, but it's part of a big print order with some other stuff and it isn't done yet.
Unrelated, check a sneak peek at my next fig:

I wonder how well Muty McFly would look atop on of those finger skateboards sold in Hotwheels aisles?

Got these today.The only thing im disapointed about them is my four full color sandstone arms are two thick and don't fit!I Broke the triceratops arm trying to fit it there .Also Very Fragile especially the full color stone so beware on that.

Kickback,
Sorry about the arms, I'm just starting to use that material, so the fits aren't 100% correct just yet (thus the beta pricing). I'd suggest sanding the arm pegs on the sandstones that you have, and superglue apparently works really well on that material, so the Triceratops may be salvagable if you join the bits back.
What's odd is that two people who have gotten the sandstone ones have commented on the T-Rex's arms, but the other said they were loose. I'm wondering if there's some variability, print-by-print in that material.
So they fit correctly on the Plastic ones?
