Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

The 'deltadromeus' reminds me of the Carnegie one, especially with the way they used the full binomial. Perhaps the name was inspired from there?

[tyrantqueen]

I'd go with they are just being lazy.

Yeah, but Deltadromeus and Rapator are more obscure names than Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus. They are not names that most people would know off the top of their head. It seems weird that they would be lazy about that, but go to the extra effort of researching the names.

By the way, you can take the "pterosaurs'" head off. Not sure why, but it is detachable:

[CityRaptor]

Probabyl saving on glue.
If they included other heads, it would be like the Gakken Ceratopsian. So it looks more like it is part of a combiner, with the head forming an axe, while the rest attaches to the back of some sort of Super robot.

I'm trying to figure out if they actually meant the genus Rapator or just misspelled "raptor"

It's a bootleg of the Safari green Tyrannosaurus. This guy



But imagine it with less detail and a big ugly seam-line around the middle And the legs on mine are distorted so it doesn't stand by itself very well.

What is "Reign of the Dinosaurs" like? Is it worth getting?

[sauroid]
