Title: Meh.
Product review: This is not really a BAD toy, it's just sort of disappointing. The lettering on the bottom that gives the dinosaurs' names is hard to read, the figures are of indifferent quality, and most galling, several of the included figures are not even of feathered dinosaurs. I know there are not that many fossil feathered dinos to make, but I'd rather have five well-done, honest-to-goodness feathered dinos than a dozen mediocre figures, with about half being just regular old nekkid dinos. Having said that, being able to hold up, say, the microraptor and asking a kid what that could be, and being told that it's a bird, and then being able to say, "No, that's actually a type of dinosaur"--is a great way of demonstrating visually the evolutionary connection between avian dinosaurs and modern birds. In other words, even a child can begin to grasp that in an important sense, the dinosaurs never totally died out. They just evolved into emus and penguins and sparrows and such.
