I like when lesser-known creatures get the honor of a replica, and I like when an unique action pose is used. But there is a risk for these companies with both, and this time the results were less than stellar. The sculpt is good, but the paint is merely safe. That would be OK if there were other points of interest about this creature, but the only thing that gets my attention is the strange posture. What the heck is it doing? About to be sick? Choking up a fur ball? Ducking to avoid an old girlfriend? Assuming the fetal position after some bad news? The most interesting thing about this gut is figuring out his psych profile.
I expect they saw this one facing off with some smaller plant eater, but it's not easy to do. My son puts different little vegetarians in front and it still just looks like acrocanthosaurus just bumped his head or something (you can almost see him trying to rub his head with his sawed-off little arms and cursing).
Four stars for making a new realistic animal available in some other position than attention. But I wouldn't rush to put this guy in you stable unless just want one of everything, or you have all of the hundred other better ones.

I bought a bunch of these over several years for my nephew who was into dinosaurs. (Now, not so much.) He liked them fine and played with them fine, but I didn't get the impression from his mom or from what I saw that he loved these any more than he loved the cheap ones you get at like Dollar Tree or WalMart. They all went into the same Bucket O Dinos and got dumped in the dirt the same, got dumped in the bathtub the same, slept in his bed the same (ouch) etc. And he doesn't seem any more knowledgeable about dinosaurs than any other kid his age either, though I grant you he doesn't seem to think they shot lasers out of their eyes or got captured into a Pokeball or whatever either. I would buy them again for my own son but probably not for anyone else's because there are other toys where it looks like you get more for your money.Best Deals for Safari Ltd Carnegie Collection- Acrocanthosaurus
Another great dino copy. He teaches as the others how the dinos may have looked and lived. My grandsons enjoy all the dinos so much. It really helps to teach them.Honest reviews on Safari Ltd Carnegie Collection- Acrocanthosaurus
We have LOTS of dinosaurs and The Carnegie Collection is the best series out there.The education value is high. Even my 5 year old knows that dinosaurs and humans did not live at the same time!
