BotM Styracosaurus:

[CityRaptor]

Really annoying to read someone complaining about the colors of every BOTM review. Yeah, we get it. If you want dull animals, wait for the Beasts of the Cenozoic. Tons of brown and grey animals.

[Dusty Wren]

Yeah, it's a huge bummer how often people complain about the paint jobs on the ceratopsians. I wonder if it started to bother David Silva as well, because the tyrannosaur line has noticeably more conservative color schemes than the ceratopsians (minus the Dilong). 

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Count me in with that, I am a strong proponent of the idea that many dinosaurs were very colourful, Ceratopsids in particular should be extremely colourful  like big scaly birds of paradise.

[Lynx]

I honestly love the BOTM ceratopsian colors. The only thing stopping me from buying them is the price tag.

[ceratopsian]

They are certainly expensive, but not I think overpriced for the complexity of the articulation etc. I like the brilliant colours very much.  Maybe it's because the articulation gives the models a rather stylised feel and the interpretation seems to fit that aesthetic.

[Shonisaurus]

The colors of the styracosaurus are very beautiful, and honestly no one knows what those prehistoric animals really were like, even in terms of color, it is an artistic license very well achieved by the BoTM brand which is to be celebrated because it would be boring for all brands of toy dinosaurs followed the same creative and artistic guidelines. Dinosaurs that over time and over the years, that is to say within 30 or 40 years, will be reference figures for every dinosaur collector such as those from Tyco Toys to give an example although I think these figures are logically better than those mentioned in two lines above.

[EmperorDinobot]

It is incredibly grating to find someone on social media complaining about the colors of these toys.


I'm opening taco as we speak.

[Faelrin]

Despite it coming from a real lizard I absolutely love how the Styracosaurus turned out. I loved it right from the start with the colored concept art revealed. I think it will also look quite nice alongside the Dromaeosaurus pair (despite the current scale discrepancy), and mountain set, and I am definitely eager to see this alongside the Gorgosaurus, which is something I've been wanting on my shelves since after getting the raptors in hand, if not before that.

@EmperorDinobot Also great review on it by the way.
