Controversial opinions on dinosaur toys

I hadn't watched Dinosdragons's video on the Mamenchisaurus.  However as far as I'm aware, blue isn't a colour animals obtain from food, it's a structural colour, which is why when a dead blue animal degrades, the blue colouration vanishes.

Unless you're counting the accent plate color on the red/geeen "fruit" variant, which seems silly to me, might as well say the blue variant with red tipped plates makes two red variants.

Not tips, it's body. I think it's more blue than green.Teal color. Another controversy.  :D

It looks more blue in some areas and more green in others, so if you think it's a second blue variant, one could also say it's a second green variant.  I think it would have been better to have used the yellow colour scheme instead of the fruity one to please a greater amount of tastes...

avatar_Sim @Sim that's true, many bird greens and blues are structural colours, not dependant on their diet.
"Dinosaurs lived sixty five million years ago. What is left of them is fossilized in the rocks, and it is in the rock that real scientists make real discoveries. Now what John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters, nothing more and nothing less."
