With regards to the triceratops, there was a mockup of one in a museum that had the front legs splayed out lizard style but the hind legs upright. Dr. Robert Bakker has an illustration of it in one of his books. I can't remember which museum or if it's since been rectified or not.
I grew up with a dinosaur magazine that you got parts each week to build your own T rex, so when I seen this kit coming out it reminded me of that. And I discovered your dinosaurs are wrong looking into the old magazines and was happy to see the magazines again, I do think I still have my ones in the loft somewhere but to cold to go up there atm.
Give us RG Dinosaurs Bandai!! :P Then let the amplified designers make their own take on dinos! Also, give us more info blurbs in the instruction manuals for other kits for people like me who builds mecha but watches exactly 0 mecha anime related to said kits
I must say these are a nice base for a ZOIDS-esque gunpla kitbash. have bandai release Velociraptors with feathered option parts and i could make myself an 08th-MS Raptor team
Hope there will be option weapon parts for this kits in the future. I want my T-rex to have beam sabers for the teeth and my Triceratops wields dual horn-beam launcher. jk
I was really curious about this because I got the ecopla T Rex skeleton. That one was barely posable. But very museum-accurate. Although the ecopla formulation at that time wasn't that great yet. Kinda brittle. These look good.
It's still largely a hypothesis that bipedal dinos like T-Rex have feathers. Personally I stick to the classic look until actually proven otherwise. The only dino actually found to have feathers is Archaeopteryx, so until we find actual evidence that Tyrannosaurs and raptors had feathers...
