The best figure of every species, according to Halichoeres

[Concavenator]

One of the key features of Wuerhosaurus is the extra-long neural spines on the proximal caudals

TIL. For a fragmentary taxon like this one, it would be appropriate for companies (those interested in scientific accuracy) to ensure whatever material is known to be accurately depicted. And it's odd PNSO got the Wuerhosaurus' manus wrong, that's the sort of mistake I wouldn't expect to see from PNSO, more so at this point, also considering they did fine on that regard on their 2021 Stegosaurus and 2020 Dacentrurus.

Now that I think about it, there have been a few good Wuerhosaurus recently, between the PNSO, Haolonggood and Vitae.

The wait between successive iterations of theropod genera is rarely long, but yeah, this one was fast even by that standard.

Now let's see how long does it take for you to replace Schleich's Gallimimus!  I think it will be a good while, I get the impression ornithomimids are invisible for companies. You know a dinosaur is overlooked when it was featured in Jurassic Park (and in arguably one of the most iconic scenes, at that) and then receives this much attention.

You're talking about the third claw? Yeah, that is a bit odd, and maybe lends support to the idea that these aren't all sculpted by one person, even though the marketing seems to want us to think they are. It's true there are several decent Wuerhosaurus now; this was kind of a tough choice.

Hey, there have been like a dozen Gallimimus figures in the last five years, so those count as successive iterations, even if most of those are just JP/JW merch. The wait between good versions can certainly be longer, of course. The best for its time is still the Battat, but feathers trump artistry for me in this case. Anyway, I think herbivorous/omnivorous theropods in general are more ignored than others: alvarezsaurs, most therizinosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, oviraptorosaurs, noasaurs...

On another note, the Euoplocephalus and Gastonia photos were embarrassingly out of focus, so I've deleted and replaced them.

Yeah I was referring to that extra claw. PNSO might have experienced a change of factory:

Rumours say PNSO changed factory before Parasaurolophus release

Don't know if that has anything to do with different sculptors being involved though. Could be a possibility.

It's kind of unusual there are these many good Wuerhosaurus, not even the more famous (and more complete) Kentrosaurus has received this amount of good figures. I can only guess it's because those versions happen to be made by Chinese companies.

About Gallimimus, of course I wasn't taking into account all those JP versions! After all, even the Schleich is a closer match to the real deal than those.
