I received this set of roughly 4" sauropods yesterday. The set consists of 10 dinosaurs, each of a different genera, and a 2-piece cycad tree. The models are very good, cast in "medium consistency" plastic and are nicely factory painted. Of the 10 dinosaurs, only two (brontosaurus and brachiosaurus) are familiar animals, while the remaining eight are each of a genera discovered in more recent decades. These small models are about 1:144th.

They do look nice! Except "Suitable for Ages 3 and Up."

Do you really want your kids playing with Chinese plastic and painted?

Maybe, if you don't like 'em much.

Nice find, though. The paint jobs seem good enough for the table as is.

Yes, they need zero work unless you choose to base or modify them. Maybe add a howdah with 10mm lizardmen/sleestacks.

Examining the models under magnification I noticed that they have interesting textures to simulate hides. A couple have osteoderms in a random pattern while others have spines. Ampelosaurus and Agustinia have more elaborate armor to protect them from large predators in their habitats.
