Reaper's at fault here as well, it's just what people in the business of making dinosaur figures / toys do. so it makes me excited when i see something that had care put into trying to make it look like a real animal and not a made up monster with 'dinosaur' slapped onto its name Edited January 12 by Sirithiliel 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
