That is an interesting figure! I have had my eyes on it for a while. I don't collect CollectA, but I do keep all of my marine animals regardless of line, make and model in their own separate little Seaworld, so it would be a perfect addition.

Magnificent; terrific write-up, avatar_Faelrin @Faelrin!

And, for what it's worth, I do intend to cover the subadult Trike in the future - and there WILL be at least a couple photos featuring the rex alongside it.  ;)

NGL I feel kind of bad for this ugly dude getting roasted in the ratings. It's not a great figure but it isn't abysmal.

I still don't get why people spam every. single. Schleich figure with 1 star even if it really isn't terrible. You'd expect that to be given for some of the older Replicasaurus, but this isn't horrible.
An oversized house cat.

Eatmycar

Agreed. The same thing happens to Mattel stuff. I find it bizarre to see some out of date, single colored derpy retrosaur get a 4.5 even though it's horribly inaccurate and goofy looking. Yet those same rationales are used to tear down Schleich's stuff.

EmperorDinobot

I agree with everything that has been said, but remember, this is a repository of dinosaur figure knowledge.

A sort of dinodex, if you will. I have some uh...questionable figures coming up, and some of the very best the market has to offer currently in the works.


Faelrin

The only time I've rated figures on the blog's reviews have been figures I've owned (at least I think so). Granted I seldomly do it to begin with, as most of the time because I simply just don't remember to. I agree with E @Eatmycar kind of an average figure. I mean I think they did a better job with it then the Acrocanthosaurus from years ago. I mean the coloration is at least nice (though wouldn't surprise me if it was copied from something, as Schleich's history of doing so is anything to go by).
