I actually prefer CollectA's Einiosaurus and Regaliceratops to Safari's...  But I hate those filaments on the CollectA figures so I don't have any figure of those genera.

I find it strange that CollectA keeps adding filaments to all their ceratopsids in a position that's different to the Psittacosaurus specimen with them.  The arrangement of filaments on CollectA's ceratopsids is invented, it's not based on science.  So why keep repeating it on ceratopsids as if it was something real?

i prefer CollectA ceratopsians to Safari too (quite an unpopular opinion)
regarding the filaments, I believe that Prehistoric Planet can become a trendsetter and future CollectA ceratopsians will not have those

So it's kind of a mix. Personally if they ditched what a former member used to refer to as 'butt fuzz,' I'd buy more CollectA ceratopsians, but I'll usually prefer other companies' versions on that basis alone. Their Einiosaurus looks very, very good, and is closer to my scale preferences than Safari's, but I own Safari's because it lacks the fuzz. Generally, though, I'm pretty happy with the existing assortment of ceratopsians from various companies, excepting some basal members of the group who have gotten short shrift. I'd prefer CollectA focused on other ornithischians.

I think the person who called it "butt fuzz" is an active member here.

Oh, maybe I'm misremembering who called it that. The person I'm thinking of hasn't logged on in over a year.

If only they would ditch the "butt fuzz"!
