New Addition: 'Nick' the Ceratosaurus
By PNSO
Wonderful photo and great detail of teeth, especially. I really like this model, I would dare to say that for me it is the best Ceratosaurus figure in the market, but as Halichoeres mentioned, it is too big :(

The Ceratosaurus is spectacular, but too big for me too. A great centerpiece for those that have the space though. I really hope PNSO does a smaller Ceratosaurus someday.

Apart from the [Mattel] Colossal theropods we have, Nick's the biggest figure in my collection. That being said, he doesn't have the biggest presence - at least, on my shelf. Apart from being too big to fit anywhere, Nick's large size also means he tends to 'steal' the attention from smaller figures. Because of this, I moved him a bit further back and have him standing on an elevated platform, but he's very much still in the 'background' of the display. Because of this, he's sort of...awkward in that sense. He's the center of attention, and yet I have to put him where you don't give him your attention...it's a bid weird.

I'm sure if I had a space that I could devote to just him, or if I had more figures his size, this is less of an issue. But because he's so big and my other figures are not, he's sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place. I still love the figure, but this is something collectors should keep in mind - it's not just about whether or not the figure fits physically, but whether or not it compliments your display.

I've always thought that Carnotaurus looked like it could be the mount of the young Count Dracula from the first few minutes of the 1992 movie. That weird overlapping red armor, maybe a boiled leather thing?
