Thundering Herd: The Ceratopsian collection

[Bokisaurus]

Next to the sauropods, ceratopsians are my next favorite group of dinosaurs. When I expanded my collection, it was natural that I chose ceratopsians as my next focus.
Like the sauropods, there were species that dominated the market, such as the industry staple triceratops.
As you can imagine, this species made up the bulk of figures available. Styracosaurus came next in term of popularity. Almost all the major toy figure producers have these two species in their collection.
In recent years, more and more obscure species were added to the list. Despite this, the list of species is still short when compared to other groups.
So here they are, my ceratopsian collection!

The predator figure has no name on it be it think it supposed to be Placerias.
No body does much with Centrosaurus.  The Mexican series by Salas, like the Starlux, was more like Monoclonius I thought. Nobody want to do it either.

DSCN2169.jpg what are the orange and green figures?  I do not think I have ever seen them.  Marolin made a Monoclonius.

You know that saying: "like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs", well I've got a new one: "like a balloon in a heard of ceratopsians"!....oh that was terrible.

Great colletion Boki, as always!

That looks like a Marolino figure.

So many Ceratopsians!
There is also the Aurora/Monogramm/Revell ones. While not realistic, they have a certain charme to them. You know, like one of those old Dinosaur Movies. ( the Triceratops indeed looks a lot like the one in "One Million B.C. )
Most current Version of the line is called "Dawn of Time", with them being called Trike the Triceratops horridicus and Spike the Styracosaurs nosehornsis.

It is indeed Placerias.

This is made by Kabaya http://www.dinotoyblog.com/2010/03/27/triceratops-kabaya/

It's by Kabaya, part of a set. It comes with a detachable base like most of the figures in the set.

thanks Bokisaurus and tyrantqueen.

I wanted to ask , WITHOUT hijacking the thread, if you could point me in the direction of the find that has led them to place the quills on the trikes nowdays? I am aware of the Psittacosaurus fossil, but seemingly there are trikes now with the quills , like that new 1/15 replica. Thanks, and awesome collection Boki, always a pleasure

What, no Tyco Protoceratops!!?! The Tyco Protoceratops was a real gem!!


btw, you have a solid ceratopsian collection---they are my favorite group of dinosaurs

Uhh, that is no Protoceratops. It is a Placerias.

Supposedly the triceratops mummy that was found fairly recently shows evidence of possibly having quills lol.  Yes and it is as vague as it sounds the way i wrote it.  So in conclusion...we don't really know for sure but if psittacosaurus had them maybe larger ceratopsids had them???  I personally keep them off until further factual information says otherwise. 

And yeah thats not protoceratops let alone a ceratopsid.  This is tyco protoceratops.  Reviewed by me way back when

I am going to comment on that over in my Psittacosaurus thread, so as not to hijack this thread any further. Could use some information Gryph, thanks

I don't think the paper is out yet.  If it was I would have sent it to you.
