Which Mesozoic dinosaurs have good figures and which don't, according to Sim

[Sim]

I've removed the PNSO Confuciusornis and Anchiornis from the list due to their inaccuracies.

[Sim]

I forgot to say, the reason I didn't notice the tail fan is an inaccuracy on the PNSO Confuciusornis, is that I had read a basal avialan had the tail fan and the rest of the tail projecting out of the fan, but now I can't find this anymore.

I've added Basal Ornithischia!

[Sim]

After further consideration, I've removed most of the Dilophosaurus figures and the Geoworld Coelophysis.  I've also added to Basal Ornithischia and I've added Thescelosauridae.

[Sim]

I've added Basal Ceratopsia to the list.  I've also added Centrosaurinae, I decided to keep it separate from Chasmosaurinae as each of the two groups has a large number of species known from good remains!

[Sim]

I've done Chasmosaurinae!  It's interesting that this group hasn't received as much attention as the Centrosaurinae.  That there isn't a good Chasmosaurus belli figure except for the large BotM is surprising.  I hope one will be made soon, same for Chasmosaurus russelli.

What about the PNSO mini Chasmosaurus?

[Sim]

The PNSO mini Chasmosaurus's frill doesn't look like the frill of any of the Chasmosaurus species, comparing it to this: https://www.eurekalert.org/multimedia/720947

[Faelrin]

@Sim Thanks. I had a feeling it would be good to ask you, since you are much more familiar with this animal then I am. That comparison is a really helpful way to distinguish them apart.

[Sim]

I'm glad it could help!  That comparison image shows why it makes no sense to classify perifania in a different genus (Mojoceratops) to Chasmosaurus russelli, the two are almost identical!

[Sim]

I've added the PNSO Megalosaurus to the list, as well as the PNSO "Sinopliosaurus" which I had forgotten about.  I've also done Pachycephalosauria!  I've kept Stygimoloch and Dracorex separate from Pachycephalosaurus.  Juvenile Prenocephale have been found which show they have the dome head like the adult, suggesting that the flat-headed Homalocephale is not the juvenile of Prenocephale.  And as an extension of that, perhaps Stygimoloch and Dracorex are different animals from Pachycephalosaurus too.  Scott Hartman has said he's seen a specimen of Dracorex where a dome is starting to grow, but I still think it's possible that it is its own species.

[Faelrin]

It's probably helpful to have them separate anyways, as they are quite distinctive even if they might be the same species. Same with like the younger forms of Tyrannosaurus, if not any others that may be out there.

[Chasmosaurus]

What do you think of the dracorex and the stygimoloch from Safari? They are good representation of theses species to my eyes.
I also like the leaellynasaura from toyway even if he didn't have feathers.

Hello,

I still have question regarding the PNSO Qianzhousaurus.
I don't know if I can ask it here or if I should create a new thread.

I like it as a figure, but the head seems weird to me compare to most other representations.
The snout seems to elongated, with the wrong shape, am I correct ? or is PNSO more accurate ?
Qianzhousaurus from Prehistoric Planet for exemple has the the typical look for exemple (not counting the lips matter).
And even the PNSO mini has that look, they changed it for the larger figure.

[Sim]

I thought the Safari Dracorex and Stygimoloch had feet that are too big, but looking at them again they're not too bad, so I've added them to the list!  They are on the same level as the Schleich and Papo versions respectively.  I noticed in its DTB review, the reviewer criticised the Safari Stygimoloch for only having four fingers and said, among others, PNSO's Pachycephalosaurus has the correct number of fingers, but the PNSO actually has four fingers too!  I don't know if its known how many fingers these animals had.  I've also added the Toyway Leaellynasaura to the list!

@SenSx, I think the difference between the PNSO prehistoric animal models Qianzhousaurus and the others you mentioned is that it doesn't have lips while the others do, making the snout look longer.  Another Qianzhousaurus you might want to consider is the Beasts of the Mesozoic version.

[SenSx]

Even without lips I think the PNSO is still a bit too elongated.
I usually don't like articulated body on beasts, but I must admit the botm Qianzhousaurus is nice, its just probably too big since I want to remain at 1/35 scale but thanks.

[Sim]

I've completed Basal Ankylopollexia and Basal Ornithopoda!

[Sim]

I've added some animals to Basal Ankylopollexia and I've done Hadrosauromorpha!

[Faelrin]

Should PNSO's Liaoceratops be on this list?

[Sim]

I didn't include it because PNSO gave it horns where it shouldn't have any according to Wikipedia and images of the skull that I've seen.

[Sim]

I've added Australovenator to the list!
