High time Collecta or somebody made a nice sized Inostrancecia.

Yeah last one was from Safari Ltd (which I have), but it was retired years ago. Honestly gorgonopsids only had like three figures altogether to my knowledge, all retired (Kenner's JP Lycaenops, and Schleich's Dinogorgon), so they certainly could use more representation.

Really is sad if you think about it, that these here are the only gorgonopsids that's ever been made. Glad I managed to track down all 3, did take quite a few years though.
