>>11188772>>11188871I prefer the little Nanmu, but the HC is still great. Mattel's turn around has been great to see. I just hope that many of the early figures get an updated version.
>>11188784>David Peterslol, that guy is wild, some of is stuff is batshit insane. The pterosaur stuff is just obviously wrong because of the biomechanics of the animals, but his take that multituberculates are actually rodents is crazy
>>11189052>And none of the pins and magnets are even elephant related. It's just comical how badly they screwed the pooch.honestly baffling that they didn't have cutsie little buttons and pins of the baby mammoth and its mom. It seems like such and easy slam dunk.
>The Megalonyx dream is dead. The Gigantopithicus dream is dead. You won't even get a kitbash/partshare/halfass 1/35th Columbian Mammoth. You'll get the Cyberzoic Andrewsarchus, a 1/12th Dire Wolf, and another half dozen repaints of the cat.Don't give up hope just yet. David said that he doesn't intend to let the designs go to waist so he might still end up doing Cenozoic but without the morons over at Eons.
>>11189057>Also, its increasingly being revealed that paleontology/evo bio suffers from the same rigidity and dogma that affects modern scienceI'm very supportive of this. Dr. Longrich's recent paper on Nanotyrannus showing that we actually have at least one real juvenile T.rex that looks nothing like Nano has exposed how dogmatic paleontologists are. I was astonished when I saw a paleontologist reduced to name-calling and decrying T. mcraeensis as "fanfiction" while having a tantrum on Twitter.
