I like it too - especially because it is cheap (as sauropods go).

I have to say, I must defend my fellow Canadians--how dare you claim Panorama (actually a line from COG Ltd, distributed by Tedco) is the second Opabinia? The ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) created a set of 5 Burgess critters, including (of course) Opabinia. And Laggania for some odd reason instead of Anomalocaris. The set is still available from the ROM directly, or so I've been told. The Panorama Opabinia is quite good, but as I pointed out, they didn't get the number of body lobes right, it has only 10 instead of 15. The Kaiyodo version is more accurate and its colouring is very attractive IMHO. I am aware of the ROM figures (I kind of remember seeing those in your collection) they are definitely in my list of wants. Laggania was a nice choice

I never saw one in stores, not at the museum, a year and a half after it was issued.
Then again...
It's a beautiful dinosaur. It's definitely on my top 30 dinosaur figures. It's amazing.
I'm gonna do Giganotosaurus next, but I need some good light to take its mugshot.

Laggania was a nice choice And for the record--the ROM figure has the right number of lobes as well. Laggania still seems odd to me--like the tail section was cut off. But that's what the fossil shows.

the mold is great! But I agree the colouring is not good

The Carnegie T.rex I was hugely disappointed with when it came out. The tail is simply disgusting, and he's just...bad. He can't even stand.

When a dinosaur can't stand, you're just ready to kick his butt a million times.
Now..when a QUADRUPEDAL dinosaur can't stand, that's...that's simply tragic. That's where I take points off Battat. Maiasaura can't stand at all. And Edmontonia seems a bit atrophied.
Ok two new reviews thanks to moi.
I'm debating whether I should review the horrid Procon Dilophosaurus. I'd do it out of figure obscurity, but there's nothing good to say about the beastie. He's inaccurate as hell. But he's detailed, and Dilophosaurus is my favorite dinosaur...
