Armored ankylosaurs!

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

Hi everyone~ recently I've taken a liking to ankylosaurs! However, they seem to really be underrepresented in toy-form.  Most Ankylosaurus figures more closely resemble Euoplocephalus, and many are still generic looking tanks, or cringe-worthy chinasaurs.   

That's probably why there aren't more. But I think we may be on the cusp of an "ankylosaur renaissance" (at least for toys) as more new research on ankylosaurs trickles its way into the public consciousness. I feel like there's much more of a general sense out there these days of how uniquely and interestingly different each type is from each other, and I think we will probably start seeing more good models in the future.

Interesting idea...let's hope you are correct!

Hi everyone~ recently I've taken a liking to ankylosaurs! However, they seem to really be underrepresented in toy-form.  Most Ankylosaurus figures more closely resemble Euoplocephalus, and many are still generic looking tanks, or cringe-worthy chinasaurs.   

Currently, I only own Safari's Sauropelta, which is magnificent:



Others on my wish list include Kinto Favorite's Ankylosaurus, Schleich's new mini Saichania, and I have a Terra by Battat Euoplocephalus lined up.

What others can you recommend / are your favorite?  The Papo "Ankylosaurus" is a pretty nicely detailed looking model, if not for the incorrect posture of the tail, and mislabeled name.

I have to agree, Safari's Sauropelta is AMAZING!

[Sauropelta]

Wild safari Ankylosaurus is the best one ever made. Sauropelta is pretty good too but the face paint looks melted and it's kinda small/medium size figure. CollectA's Gastonia is bad because it should be a about the same size as Sauropelta (17 feet) but is about half the size.

[Shonisaurus]

As for armored dinosaurs, ceraptosides and dinosaurs with plates Doug Watson is a true genius at the time of realizing them. Doug Watson is one of the reasons that Safari is the most awarded company in the different assessments by prestigious magazines such as Prehistoric Times among others.

I like the CollectA Gastonia in part because it's close to 1:35-1:40 scale so it fits well with lots of my other dinosaurs.

Btw it is criminal that these haven't been posted here yet:

Vitae Zhejiangosaurus

[Shonisaurus]

I have the Carnegie euplocephalus but unfortunately I do not have a camera. For his time he was a great figure.

Some sadly unreleased, but beautiful figures by Dan Lorusso.

That Sonokong Hylaeosaurus reminds me of Skeletor.

It's actually meant to be a baby.

How have we not seen the PNSO Ankylosaurus here yet?
