Controversial opinions on dinosaur toys

[Sim]

I hadn't watched Dinosdragons's video on the Mamenchisaurus.  However as far as I'm aware, blue isn't a colour animals obtain from food, it's a structural colour, which is why when a dead blue animal degrades, the blue colouration vanishes.

Only one of the stegosaurus variants is blue?

Unless you're counting the accent plate color on the red/geeen "fruit" variant, which seems silly to me, might as well say the blue variant with red tipped plates makes two red variants.

Not tips, it's body. I think it's more blue than green.Teal color. Another controversy.

It looks more blue in some areas and more green in others, so if you think it's a second blue variant, one could also say it's a second green variant.  I think it would have been better to have used the yellow colour scheme instead of the fruity one to please a greater amount of tastes...

@Sim that's true, many bird greens and blues are structural colours, not dependant on their diet.

y'all will have my head for this....

I simply cannot be bothered with Triceratops. I don't hate it but it bores me. To me I rather see the rivalry of Tyrannosaurus Vs Ankylosaurus and at the moment I am lacking a ceratopsian in my collection and I am choosing to go with Pachyrhinosaurus over Triceratops to go with E.regalis since I have an Ankylosaurus for my rex.

I mean it is controversial to put anky as the Rex rival since they are like Ceratopsians & Tyrannosaurs are like Jedis & Siths.. On the other hand Triceratops is a bit boring looking ceratopsian compared to others. It looks like a parent among punk concert.

I imagine that comes with the overexposure or fatigue with how much attention it gets, much like T. rex. It doesn't feel as unique or special anymore because it is everywhere. I don't hold it against the real animal in anyway, and it is still really cool to see it in person (which I did at the Boston Museum of Science I went to as a kid. I vaguely remember seeing a skull of it and being amazed with how huge it was). Never-mind the plethora of remains, across its lifecycle, and with some skin.

Honestly kind of feeling that way as well with Triceratops, and some other dinosaurs. Then again, perhaps I'm just biased as I've always loved Styracosaurus more growing up, because of the horns, especially after seeing in the Valley of Gwangi, or in Disney's Dinosaur. It also doesn't get much attention, except perhaps on the figure market (though still nowhere as much as Triceratops). I was also the kid that preferred Allosaurus to T. rex (especially after the fixation that happened after watching the Ballad of Big Al, and again the Gwangi film).

Recently I've been particularly fascinated with Chasmosaurus as far as ceratopsians go, after neglecting it nearly my whole life. It's got decent material (including lots of skin), and even a juvenile (still hope the Wild Past one can see the light of day for that reason). It also lived in the Dinosaur Park formation, which is one of my favorites. It's been pretty neglected in the media, and on the figure market too, except in recent years.

from my previous posts on calling out on Triceratops, T.horridus is the most boring ceratopsian but I forgot that the Yoshi's Trike does catch my attention quite ABIT. In short, I'm bored by T horridus but am cool with the Yoshi's trike
