Hello! I am making an iceberg (that might be a video, we shall see) covering obscure facts about Dinosaur Figures and their Companies. Attached is what I have so far.

Any more ideas? Would love some help.  :D
Plus it's always fun to learn more about the things we love.
Most (if not all) Rebor figures are mid

I really like this chart so far.
For a very well known thing, the Papo limited edition Spinosaurus not being so limited.
As for a medium one, early dinosaur figures of the 20s.

Put "Paint scheme variations in early Papo dinosaurs" in the fourth layer and Mattel's Old Therizinosaurus in the Second layer

Maybe for the middle area Nanmu and REBOR using the same teeth for their figures and maybe the controversy with the factory which made it? I don't know if that counts as an "obscure fact" though.

Also perhaps the rather abundant amount of canceled REBOR figures, even after being fully painted?

Wait, they use the same teeth? Didn't even know about this lol. That reminds me though, going to add the whole issue with that Irritator figure from over the summer into this.

How about PNSO charging 50% more for a figure by simply selling it in a "Museum Line" box?

Yeah there is a whole thread over this discussion. Rumors and evidence of Nanmu and Rebor being owned by the same individual(s). Anyways, it leads to the use of the same teeth.

This.

Another one for PNSO would be the abundant amount of releases.

I LOVE THESE ICEBERG CHARTS!!

Things to add could be Procon turning into CollectA on the tip of the iceberg,

Somewhere in the middle instead of just putting "PNSO releasing lots of new figures" you could add "PNSO's hiatus before mass releases,"

Not too familiar on the subject, but maybe someone could help chime in about Paleozoo,

The prototype sculpt for CollectA's Mapusaurus changing drastically just under the tip of the iceberg,

Lastly, the failed project with Minizoo and Australian Age of Dinosaurs that gave us that one Australovenator figure could fit around the middle as well.
On and off dinosaur collecting phases over the span of millions of years has led me to this very forum.

"CollectA Ceratopsians Sharing the Same Body Mould" in the fourth layer, "Failed Mesozoic Life Kickstarter" in the First layer and "Backerkit saving BoTM Triceratops" in the Second layer

Also, "Every Copy of the Papo Giganotosaurus is Personalised" in the last layer. It's sort of an iceberg tradition that started with Mario 64 to put something like this lol
