Where are the Triassic action figures?

If the criteria you're after is double-digit numbers of articulations, then you could substitute almost anything for 'Triassic:' pterosaurs, marine reptiles, fish, synapsids, invertebrates, any period outside of the Mesozoic, and so on. Only three lines ever have that kind of articulation, one of which is from a movie franchise, and the other two of which have focused almost exclusively on the Cretaceous. I get why the Triassic would seem to stand out, because from a morphology standpoint it's easily the most interesting period of the Mesozoic, but it also doesn't have that many true dinosaurs, and companies (and many collectors, judging from some of the tedious collections I've seen on social media) are mostly allergic to anything that isn't a true dinosaur or from their favorite monster movie.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.
