The first post in this thread asks what the worst dinosaur we own is. Let's see your uggos!
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Sometimes I draw pictures

ceratopsian

The Schleich Agustinia. Hands down winner. When charity shops reopen, it might be heading off there!

Gwangi

The Inpro Protoceratops is the ugliest figure I own and actually display. There might be a worse in my daughter's toy box but it would be hard pressed to compete with this one.


Gothmog the Baryonyx

The CollectA Lufengosaurus I think, though I may have something uglier in the attic
Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Archaeopteryx, Cetiosaurus, Compsognathus, Hadrosaurus, Brontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Albertosaurus, Herrerasaurus, Stenonychosaurus, Deinonychus, Maiasaura, Carnotaurus, Baryonyx, Argentinosaurus, Sinosauropteryx, Microraptor, Citipati, Mei, Tianyulong, Kulindadromeus, Zhenyuanlong, Yutyrannus, Borealopelta, Caihong

One of the things I appreciate about the Starlux line is the sheer diversity of animals from the Paleozoic until now, some that still have yet to have another figure made in all this time since (such as some of the Cenozoic stuff to my current knowledge).

Who knows maybe one of these days I'll try to hunt for some.

And of course, the more unique and interesting they are--meaning the best fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals--the harder they are to find and the more expensive they get. Getting them without breaks or chips is even harder.

Hence, the brachiopod and trilobite+nodule are probably the priciest ones of all!

The poor thing looks like it has a bad case of elephantiasis. Made me want to rush to the medicine cabinet to see if I could find something to help it!

What about this one?


Almost reluctantly, I recently gave my old Schleich replicasaurus Ceratosaurus away to a youngster, along with other golden oldies. This one is so crude and homely, I'll say, that it achieves an almost mythical status in that department, IMO. As such, it's a classic, in my estimation.

I feel like that Schleich Ceratosaurus would be right at home with the Crystal Palace dinosaurs. It certainly has that kind of retro charm to it. What a night and day difference between this and their new one.

I really can't understand what the sculptor was thinking in creating this oddity. Still, its unique, to say the least!

I believe the only cure is fire.

No, we must sacrifice it to the Gods

On the other hand, i kind of like the detail texture on the figure. Thats not saying much, tho

I think Schleich's ceratosaurus is the undoubtedly winner ...   ;D

But these set of Spanish brand Yolanda made in 1989, called "Cabosaurios" are very close ...

Hands are bigger than the head ;D ;D ;D

Shonisaurus

For me the Schleich ceratosaurus was for me one of the most interesting of the ornate or wave of Schleich of 1996 for me it is not one of the worst figures of dinosaurs.

By the way, Yolanda's uintatherium is without a doubt the weakest prehistoric mammal of all existing brands, but for me it was a gift from heaven to have it. Dimetrodon is very interesting. I love vintage figures as much or more than current ones.
