Keeping this toy centric..so the Battat is more correct when looking at the feet ?
I don't think so. The Battat has claws on several of some digits where they shouldn't be.

It may have the claws..but the feet look more correct than on any other model I have ( if I recall correctly ).

I don't think so. Shouldn't the front feet be facing each other slightly? Similar to how theropod hands should be in a clapping position, but not so extreme.

Despite this I still think the Battat Triceratops has more accurate anatomy than the Wild Safari which is saying something given its age verses that of the WS. Newer models by WS and even Papo seem to be increasingly accurate.

If you can follow Jack Horner's example and just call Torosaurus a Triceratops, then one could argue the Safari Torosaurus made for the friends of Sue set is highly accurate and well done. Gorgeous dinosaur

WS yes, but Papo...I'm not so sure. Maybe the only reason they're getting the anatomy correct is because they're copying Sideshow, not actually doing any research into these things. I could be wrong, but that's my feeling.

Who can say with Papo? All I know is the feet on their Pachyrhinosaurus and Styracosaurus are much more accurate than those on their Triceratops.

Is there a Sideshow Pachyrhino? Because that came a bit before the Styracho which uses many of the same features.

There is not.  Though it could have been based on Krentz's design in DINOSAUR. Then the Styrac was based on the Sideshow piece at least in part.
