Manufacturing reference
A crested hadrosaur, where the crest is the whole character and the whole engineering problem.
The backward sweeping crest is a cantilevered part on the head, so it needs enough fill to hold its line without making the head heavy enough to tip the toy forward. Attaching it across a curved skull seam is the difficult join on this sculpt. A soft coral colourway also shows every mark, which makes the fabric choice and the packing method matter more than they would on a dark body.
This is the reference for a brief that wants a recognisable species rather than a generic dinosaur. Settle the crest length against the head size early, and decide whether the crest is stuffed, foam cored or flat, because the three feel completely different in the hand.
