At least it isn't Mattel's cursed Iguanodon hand. But yeah that's a shocking mistake to see. Highly unfortunate, especially considering it is one of the most notable aspects about it. Maybe they can issue a revised version like they did for the Ouranosaurus. Edit: Even Disney's Dinosaur got this aspect correct, and that was 25 years ago!

Haolonggood definitely makes some beautiful models and of much needed species on the market, but I do wish they would improve with getting basic anatomical features down better (and avoid the repetitive colorations, but that's another thing).

There's no reason why Ouranosaurus, Maiasaura, and now this Iguanodon should have the anatomical issues that they do if more research was done prior to sculpting. I think it's frustrating to know something as decent as that Giganotosaurus gets the axe, but mistakes like these get put to market.

I don't understand some of these mistakes. Simple research on internet would reveal all these major details.

Those hands are also the most famous part of the animal.

I'm pretty forgiving of inaccuracies. I don't care about the head shape on this Iguanodon but the hands might be a dealbreaker. But it would also be easy to modify them. It's not something I've ever done or even like to do but if I'm going to buy my first Iguanodon toy in roughly 15 years it should probably have correct hands. Hopefully Haolonggood will do what they did with the Ouranosaurus. They make such excellent figures that inaccuracies like this are baffling.

That correction should be quite do-able. Go for it!
