Glorified Chinasaurs, I agree with that. The Troodon is a nice model (their best I dare say), so is the Guanlong. I'll probably get both of them as well as the Coelophysis and Falcarius. Those however are rare exceptions in an otherwise mediocre collection. Like I've said before, Geoworld is about quantity and not quality. If you like them that's fine, everyone has their own taste. I don't like them though. Like Sbell said though, the skeleton kits are pretty good. I would probably buy some of those.

Please don't mistake my skepticism over Dr. Picini to have any bearing on my opinion of the figures. I'm actually quite fond of many of them. Other than their ankyosaurs.I have several and generally like them. Many are quite modern with the feathers and all. They are definitely meant as toys, and as either an educator or a parent there is much more value in this series than, say, Papo. Plus the education sheets they come with are fantastic and cover a broad swath of languages.

Don't worry, I didn't.  :) I was just saying that regarding the skeletons in particular, I agree with you.

I can't say I like any of them.
