Though one other Triceratops might be the very last thing any of us want in our collections (actually mine) this one from Yowie Group is first rate sufficient to deserve a while within the highlight on the Dinosaur Toy Weblog. It comes from Yowie Teams Final Dinosaur collection which is presently out there in varied store throughout the US. Yowies are blind bag toys that come packaged in a plastic egg encased in chocolate. I didn’t select this little Triceratops, destiny selected it for me.
The Yowie Triceratops is positioned in a pleasant little trot along with his head barely lowered. It’s detailed with rows of enormous scales operating down the again and sides, and wrinkles and pores and skin folds alongside the limb joints. The sting of the frill is embellished with little epoccipital horns and a row of bumps might be seen operating from every forehead horn to the sting of the frill. The toy measures about 2.5″ (6.35 cm) in complete size, giving it a scale of 1/144 when scaled down from a size of 30′ (9.1 meters).
By way of accuracy, it’s first rate sufficient for a toy of its dimension and value level, however the tail is a bit too lengthy and the forearms must be barely splayed with the palms angled outwards. The horns are thick and blunted for security. Digits on the toes are properly outlined, as are the facial options just like the mouth and nostrils.
The determine is tan coloured with a grey frill and grey operating alongside the again. The horns are creamy white, as is the beak. Each the higher and decrease parts of the beak are painted, in contrast to the Yowie Kosmoceratops the place solely the higher portion is painted. The paintjob is engaging and naturalistic, and the paint is properly utilized.
If you happen to’re a specialised Triceratops collector (and I do know the discussion board has at the least one) then that is undoubtedly a determine you’ll need in your assortment. For everybody else, it’s most likely a cross. I actually didn’t want it however I fairly prefer it and am pleased to have it amongst my massive herd of mini-Trikes. It stands out and is an enthralling little toy.
