I quite like the 1:18 Psittacosaurus and haven't had any issues with it falling apart. Is it more stable than the others or could this be a QC issue?

My first P. hellenikorhinus copy had an incredibly loose knee joint, to the point where it was rattling inside the blister packaging. Thankfully EverythingDinosaur offered a replacement and my second specimen is better. Still I would've preferred less articulation for a more sturdily built figure. I would've happily sacrificed the limb joints and mid-torso articulation for a smoother, less "cut up" presentation. The secondary limb joints in particular seem incredibly fragile.

Another review of the BotM Dilophosaurus. This copy doesn't seem to suffer from the cartoonish crest paint. So I'm now wondering if it's a QC issue between batches?

The only issue I've had with the mini-1/18 dinos is the Psittaco's mouth being unable to move and its one foot pegged into the base warping over the course of a year. Both were easily fixed with hot water.
