The original CollectA Triceratops:

I do not normally try to post on the same day another review comes out.  In this case, I think these two make a interesting comparison.
Check out both Triceratops and decide.

Interesting figure! And sorry, laticauda, this is the teacher in me speaking, but there are a number of grammatical errors in your review. Namely, the lack of a capital "T" in Triceratops.

How did I skip that?   Ok, it has been fixed, lets just say that as a teacher, I am shamed.      Now I must go back and reread it again, hopefully I'll see the mistakes.  Oh, and don't be sorry, I have no problem going back and fixing my own errors, just wish I caught them in the first place.   This is another reason why my reviews take a awhile to write. Math and grammar, the bane of my existence.

I see these toys all the time.  But I don't think Maisto makes them. There products are sold as adventure wheels but these dinosaurs are not one of them.

This fast and furious review has turned into a nightmare.  As I continue to look for information, I have found out that you are right.  So here's what I have learned.  The original info that I read said Adventure wheels is the Wal-mart brand name for Maisto.  That's what I ended up writing.  What it didn't state is that while Maisto is Adventure wheels, it is only one of the brands that they change the name to and sell under the Adventure wheels banner.  Dragon-i wasn't even listed on the box, but I did find it on the triceratops.  So it is made by Dragon-i, which is a subsidiary of the Fair Jade group LTD.  Sorry for the confusion.

Happy Canada Day to all my northern neighbors.    Very sad narrative, but great review.

Fantastic.
Where can I get it?

And yes, is too sad that humans drive so many species to extintion. And actually we are doing the same with hundreds of plant, insects and amphibian species by poisoning the water and destroing their habitats. A human being can learn the lesson, but capitalists corporations never stop killing the plannet.

I've come out of retirement it seems. Managed to find this little guy in my attic.

Anyone know who made this "Pinacosaurus"?

[Silvanusaurus]

It's one of a selection of large figures I've always taken to be giant chinasaurs, there are a number of other species, like the T rex linked to in the review, that crop up regularly on eBay in the UK, but i've not seem them associated with a particular brand. Aesthetically they seem to be very similar to the cheap 'Megasaurs' that infest UK toy stores.

   You used to be able to buy that Pinacosaurus from Link and Pin Hobby in the UK for  like $6.98 dollars. They called them Jumbo Dinosaurs.  This is the only one I really liked.

Don't get used to the Inpro reviews, this is the only other one I own.
