That's an interesting find, thanks for posting. A lot of variation in alvarezsaur finger number.

Also, if some company wanted to do this, Mei, Broomistega, and Thrinaxodon, they'd have the start of a nice set of "nap time" minis.

If only, @Halichoeres!  I love the idea of snoozing minis!

I wish companies paid more attention to alvarezsaurs in general but I guess they lose out to the increasing desire to stick to a given scale, which rules out smaller taxa.

@Halichoeres Well at least PNSO got Mei covered. Would love to see the others someday too.
