(try-SER-a-tops)

The huge Triceratops ("three-horned face") grew up to 30 feet long and probably weighed about 6 tons. Triceratops was so large and so well equipped for defence that it is difficult to imagine how even Tyrannosaurus Rex could have brought it down.

Collecting the Triceratops
Loose Triceratops' feature often in loose collections, and that is probably the easiest way to pick up one. Be careful and check for wear, ensure the battery cover is present & that the tip of the tail is intact. The Triceratops' accessories and pretty easy to identify and can be gathered from loose collections fairly easily. The guns and armour have a habit of going brown in the sun, so go for grey if you can.

MIB Triceratops' don't pop off too often, and are a highly valued set. Grab one if you can!

The Real Triceratops
("Three-horned face"). Many groups of dinosaurs produced their largest individuals at the very end of the Late Cretaceous, right before the great extinction that doomed every last dinosaur - and the ceratopsians were no exception. There is little doubt that, at 30 feet (9 meters) in length, weighing 6 tons (5.5 metric tons), and boasting three horns that might have been 5 feet (1.5 meters) long, Triceratops was the most impressive of all horned dinosaurs. Need more? Scientists now think that Triceratops lived and ran in huge herds. What a sight they must have made, thundering across the plains of western North America by the thousands. The whole earth would have seemed to be shaking.
