a-QUILL-ops, birthday, Lego sets, etc.
First, before the world drowns in madness, it’s a-QUILL-ops, like a quill pen. Not AWK-wuh-lops, like Aquafina.
Second, I made good use of my recent birthday and went to the Lego store at the local mall.
Shortly thereafter:
The little custom figure that comes in the 76972 “Raptor Off-Road Escape” set is *tiny*, and I love it:
Speaking of my birthday, a fair few of you out there in the paleosphere contributed to the birthday book that Jenny put together for me. Thank you, sincerely!
I’m ridiculously fortunate to have so many great friends and colleagues.
Best. Birthday. EVAR!!
Jenny also managed to surprise me with this imaginext Aquilops, which I (A) did not know existed, and (B) would have not expected before June 11, which I believe is when most of the non-Lego Jurassic World Rebirth toys are becoming available. It…has some design choices, all right. But I suppose when a dinosaur is known from a partial skull, reconstructed based on relatives from another continent, turned into a movie character, and then toddler-ified in plastic, some latitude is expected. I’m just stoked that there will be little kids who grow up loving this weird little cat-ceratops — and maybe the attention will translate into more fieldwork and more fossils. Fingers firmly crossed.
Parting shot: hearing Scarlett Johansson breathily talk about one of ‘my’ dinosaurs was not on my bingo card for 2025. Or ever. But here we are.
