The first three reveals!

The Ceratosuchops and the Hadrosaurus are the very first of their kind (definitely the former, pretty sure for the latter), so they're must-buys for me. They both look pretty nice too! I'm passing on the Triceratops, though.

CollectA has become harder for me to get since the newer releases are hard to find or absent in Amazon but I really want that Hadrosaurus.

[Dusty Wren]

Surprised that CollectA is coming out the gate with another Triceratops this year. I know it's a popular genus and all, but releasing two back-to-back is an odd choice.

Glad to see the Hadrosaurus, though!

[EmperorDinobot]

Oh! A Hadrosaurus!

I don't think it's the first Hadrosaurus though. DeAgostini had one.

They did it before with T. rex, Deinocheirus, and Baryonyx. But I would have much preferred an all-new ceratopsian like Centrosaurus or Anchiceratops or Leptoceratops. I strongly suspect everyone here feels the same.

[Gwangi]

The Hadrosaurus is the standout for me here, a definite must have.

I just woke up, and oh my WORD I was not expecting that.

100% will try to get the Ceratosuchops, in fact, I was kind of expecting it to release sometime from CollectA. I'll give my full opinions in the morning, I'm so excited!

[Lynx]

Ok ok, so I'll give my opinions real quick just because I can't hold it in!

Ceratosuchops: Absolutely love this figure, and one of my favorite releases so far. Only negative aspect is that it doesn't really look like it is fishing, if I am honest. You could just call it "Ceratosuchops" and it'd be fine.

Hadrosaurus: No real interest or excitement from me but it is very cool!

Triceratops: Again, as with the Ceratosuchops, you could have just called it "Triceratops" and nothing would really change. Very nice colors, will work well as a female/younger male of the previous Triceratops.

I too will likely pass on the Triceratops, as I quite prefer the previous models color scheme over another brown one, although I must admit it looks nice.

[Renecito]

The Ceratosuchops and Hadrosaurus look really nice!!!

[KrazyKaprosuchus]

I really like the Ceratosuchops and Hadrosaurus. Definitely want to grab those... I still need to grab the ones from this year that still haven't seemed to turn up though . Disappointed in Triceratops filling a spot on the roster, but oh well.

[Primeval12]

All three are slam dunks for me.

[Faelrin]

I wasted no time on getting these on the Dinotoycollector the second I saw these lol.

Anyways, despite the former two genera being pretty fragmentary, I do like how CollectA's handled them. I think the Ceratosuchops is a step up from the previous Baryonyx figures they did.

[Mononykus]

I don't think it's the first Hadrosaurus though. DeAgostini had one.

And also Marx

[Patrx]

I quite like the looks of all three of these! I don't even mind the repeat Triceratops, since 1) there are never too many Triceratops, and 2) this year's was too big for my display (probably because of my adherence to the first principle).
My only gripe at all is the articulated jaw on Ceratosuchops there. I never like those.

[GojiraGuy1954]

I saw the Trike first. Thought 2023 might end up a bad year for CollectA for a second.

Other two are really good, especially the Hadro.

[TooOldForDinosaurs]

I like the Hadrosaurus, but I'm not sure that I'm gonna pick any of these up.

[EmperorDinobot]

Well, I mean, you ARE @TooOldForDinosaurs 

@Mononykus yep. I mean it's the first American dinosaur to be described (yes?)

[Carnoking]

CollectA is getting harder and harder for me to pass up on, the Hadrosaurus and Ceratosuchops are quite nice!
