"Silly toy nonsense"? On the contrary, your reviews provide a valuable and insightful resource, be it for parents eager to please their scientifically-precocious children with an anatomically accurate reproduction, or for longtime dinosaur fans eager to learn what makes a dinosaur toy they treasured in their youth accurate or inaccurate.<br /><br />Since dinosaur toys occupy a significant proportion of pop culture, and they can be instrumental in the development of a young would-be palaeontologist's mind, I would say that far from being a mindless fancy, a study and assessment is indeed entirely worthy material for a blog whose modus operandi states that it is "all about dinosaur science and pop culture."Taranaichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176999342965850175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-138775890395146402011-10-28T20:18:40.410-04:002011-10-28T20:18:40.410-04:00At least its not as bad as this fellow http://www....At least its not as bad as this fellow http://www.oceansofkansas.com/Mosasaurs3/Carnegie01.jpg<br /><br />Granted as a fan of all things Mosasaur (http://weaponofmassimagination.blogspot.com/2011/10/all-black-mosasaur.html) I won't be buying it.<br /><br />If it even had a tail fluke than it could have something going for it. <br /><br />At moment its almost cheekly looking at us to say "Yeah I'm refusing to be a Mosasaur.
