Ok, hard to really tell from the sites supplied images but the sculptures shown do not look all that accurate according to present day data and theories. I understand that full size figures have necessary limitations, but these don’t look that realistic.
BTW:
Before I get hate responses, I’m a professional sculptor for over 35 years and have sculpted many dinosaur models. I’ll admit, none life-sized but the outsides should be representative – not to mention realistic in appearance.
