Worst dinosaur toy

Well, but Chinasaur is the established term. Even if you can't get more chinese than PNSO...

Exactly. It's like saying, "It's not a Kleenex, it's a tissue paper!" Everyone knows what a Kleenex is. PNSO is definitely turning the Chinese toy industry on its head in terms of quality though. In my lifetime China has been the eponymous purveyor of cheap low quality toys. A generation earlier Hong Kong claimed that title. What's next, Vietnam?

Next? I've read somewhere that at least Hasbro is producing in India now. So that might be the next thing.

Cool! India certainly has a lot of potential.

China has been producing good quality figures (same quality as the major western brands) through the years but they are more of exception rather than the rule. the nation is more known for cheap, run of the mill toys (in general). i doubt other countries like India will follow China's footsteps because China is the biggest producer of plastic toys in the whole planet. hopefully, PNSO will elevate and set the standard of quality of the animal toy figures produced in China now and the coming years.

Yes, PNSO has certainly put a new angle on the term "Chinasaur"!!!!!

Hey... you do realize most toys are made in China, right? And not all of them are bad quality...

Yes, yes! What I meant was the cheaply made dinosaurs that come in bulk in those plastic bags!

Hey now, not all of them come like that.

Isn't collecta a completely Chinese company?

No, I think it's UK.

[sauroid]

i think he was referring to Mojo Fun and confusing it with CollectA since there's a connection between the two major brands

EDIT - oh wait, wasnt it Safari Ltd who sued CollectA for claiming to be a British company but actually Chinese? anyone, correct me if i am wrong, i am thoroughly confused.

Well, that was one of the points. You can read the full list here:

Holy cow!

[sauroid]

so should everyone refer to CollectA as a (officially and conclusively) Chinese (HK) company?

[BlueKrono]

It sounds like that would be accurate.

[sauroid]

if that's the case then we have three high quality and active Chinese companies in our midst. PNSO, CollectA and Mojo (this one needs verification). iToy isnt prolific enough to be included in that league.

[stargatedalek]

I wouldn't include Mojo either, they still make great spiders, but their other animals (let alone their sad excuse for dinosaurs) aren't up to par.

Sadly, that's correct. Mojo makes fine extant animals (I own a few of their big cats and find them quite good), not to mention great extinct mammals, yet their dinosaurs...

I do like the Allosaurus they are releasing this year, however, so let's hope that it is a sign of new and improving changes!
