My New Safari Rex needs nasal surgery or something.

[Doug Watson]

P.S. I just had a thought, one good thing about them "adding" material to teeth, claws, spikes, etc. If it can be added it can be removed so if you are a half decent model maker you could doctor them to be more realistic and less of a toy. I know that isn't for everyone but it is an option for some and that ties back to the nostril issue.

Well, it was not only an option, but an requirement for me, I did that the day the figure arrived.

I guessed the original models weren't that blunted (seeing your other original sculpts in the other thread), the stubby claws on the Psittacosaurus are a special pain in my opinion. Is this a somewhat special requirement for Safari as it is an US based company? Because Papo or CollectA models (which I guess are also sold in the US) seem to have much "sharper" detailing in this regard?

I have pointed out (no pun intended) the sharpness of teeth etc on Papo with Safari Ltd and they say they can't control what other companies do but that these are the regulations they operate under. As I have mentioned they are a very family conscious company and you may not know they are not a big corporation they are still family owned and operated. Can't speak to CollectA since I have never seen one in the flesh.
