amargasaurus cazaui

I have the paper for the specimen, I will have to read it carefully however it is my guess that you would not be able to tell a toy of this species from one of another mamenchisaurus species, because overall they seem to lack any visible features that are unique.
Authors with varying competence have suggested dinosaurs disappeared because of meteorites...God's will, raids by little green hunters in flying saucers, lack of standing room in Noah's Ark, and palaeoweltschmerz—Glenn Jepsen

Qijianglong, another chinese dragon.  I like "long" better than "saurus".  Dragon is just better than lizard.   ;)  As for more mamenchisaurids toys, lets do it.  The only ones I know of is the Safari Dinosaurs from China, Geoworld, and Invicta. Are there any other ones in the standard toy range?

There's a dinosaur expo one that comes up pretty frequently on Yahoo Japan for a reasonable price. What's the latest on how flexible their necks might have been?

From what I have read (doesn't mean it is right), the neck itself was rather stiff, so not very flexible.

We put a few more details about the neck, those air sacs and unusual processes on the blog article: More on long-necked "dragons"

Hope this helps.
