Collecta "updated" Tsintaosaurus

[Dilopho]

I heard that collecta "updated" their risque Tsintaosaurus to make it a little more...PG. Has anyone got pictures that can confirm this?

It would be helpful to know where you heard that from.  I doubt it was modified though, as it isn't modified in CollectA's 2016 catalogue and I'd expect a modification to be shown there, since they show it for the Mapusaurus: http://www.collecta.biz/en/e-catalogue

Honestly, I think that if they update it, it will be to reflect the new reconstruction:

Sorry, Sim, I can't remember the source. It was some dinosaur collectable site, though! And CityRaptor, from what I heard they just added a "dome" over the two air sacs near the base of the crest.

I was going to create a new thread about this, but it seems the question had been asked before.

I remember when CollectA announced the new Tsintaosaurus back then, the crest shape was the cause of much controversy. If I'm not mistaken, someone later that year said that they had updated the model to have a less phallic shaped crest.

I remember seeing this picture associated with the news. But now I only see the original "phallic crested" version of this model. Has this variant actually been produced or the picture represents a custom job on the model? I'm not sure anymore. If the model really had a different crest, I'd be interested in acquiring a copy of this variant.

They never updated the model, the model that Ikessauro posted was a custom.

I cant remeber who made it, but CollectA never did correct its Head

Thanks Takama! That's actually a relief, it means I don't have yet another variant to hunt down

Yes, the modified crest version is a customised figure by paleoferroequine: http://dinotoyforum.proboards.com/post/77473/thread

Some posts after that, paleoferroequine confirmed it was them who had modified the figure, not CollectA: http://dinotoyforum.proboards.com/post/77536/thread

I would like a Deluxe size tsintaosaurus scale 1:40 or 1:30 that is medium-large size. Unfortunately to date, no toy figure of acceptable size has been made by a good company of that hadrosaurid lambeosaurine.

We have in acceptable size, the corythosaurus Schleich, Safari or Toyway, parasaurolophus in countless toys, saurolophus Favorite, Bullyland lambeosaurus but unfortunately you need a toy company a good representation of that figure of an acceptable size.

I hope it is not true but the latest proposed fossil reconstruction has changed to make the animal less unique.
