As far as I can tell all the dinosaurs in the picture(except for the
Spinosaurus/T-Rex) are using the same head, if in different colors.The
thingy sticking off the Pteranodon's head is a tail piece. Having seen the
older pictures of these sets the tails and necks are interchangeable.
Frankly as far as realism goes the Pteranodon seems to look really goofy.
But its nice to see Lego mixing in basic block construction into the system
sets and showing that its alright to build animals from Lego and not have to
depend on wholly pre-molded figures. Also its not clear if these were
dinosaurs built for the diorama only or are actually parts of the sets. The
plane does look nice and functional too.
