Cutesaurus?

[ember86]

I don't know if I brought this up before, but I don't get or really like Cutesaurus. Of course I knew she rare and I wouldn't pass one up if I found one at a really good price, but why a dinosaur and what kind of dinosaur is she anyway.

I believe she is suppose to be a Cutesaurus    I think she is cute.  Maybe with time she will grow on you.  I am starting to like the Piggy ponies; couldn't stand them before because their eyes creeped me out

[ember86]

And I though Cutesaurus was her name! LOL.

She to me looks like a herb/planet eating dinosaur. Though I do agree with the fact that she is cute.

The thought "my time has come!" just flitted through my mind.

While her exact species is uncertain, Cutesaurus is definitely a sauropod! Sauropods are the long necked, long tailed, herbivorous group of dinosaurs that includes such species as apatosaurus (previously brontosaurus), brachiosaurus and diplodocus.

As to why Cutesaurus, well, as you may have gleaned from the post above, some girls really love dinosaurs. I was one of those girls! Aside from ponies, my plastic dinosaurs were my favorite toys. I think Cutesaurus was released somewhat before my time, so I only found out about her as an adult. I got a Cutesaurus as a Valentine's day present this year, and aside from my original childhood collection, she's probably my favorite "pony." She's a pony; she's a dinosaur; she's a pony and a dinosaur at the same time. She's everything my inner child ever wanted! (Even if real child me really appreciated that my dinosaur toys were realistic and accurate, and Cutesaurus has...hair.) The idea of a dinosaur who's cute and aimed at little girls seems special to me these days, and that smiling face sculpt is so, so cute! That's why I love Cutesaurus.

Sometimes I even think about sculpting a line of G1 Cutesaurus inspired dinosaur toys of other species. They'd be just like My Little Ponies, but they'd be dinosaurs. Imagine a very cute Tyrannosaurus with Munchy's hot dog and hamburger cutie mark; it would finally make sense! Or a cute triceratops with a tongue in cheek comet cutie mark and a back card story like Night Glider's that talks about watching a beautiful meteor shower with her friends. Or So Soft feathered velociraptors covered in soft, strokable flocking with birds for cutie marks!

So I guess Cutesaurus appeals to a specific type of person, but she isn't for everyone. Hey, no one is out there insisting that as a pony collector, you must own all the rare and desirable ponies. Don't feel strange! I have the same (unpopular) opinion about Mimic.  But I'm really glad there's a Cutesaurus in the world.

OMG!! Best idea ever!!! <3 <3 <3!! I want to draw all of them!!! !!!!!!

I like cutesaurs although her being orange helps since its my favorite color lol. Although she is kind of weird looking with no ears or ear nubs. LOLZ!!

[ember86]

I think what bothers me most about her is her tail and that her legs look backwards.

I actually looked for more 'dinosaur ponies' for years as a child, not realizing Cutasaurus was the only one they made.    She was part of my childhood herd and indeed, would be some type of sauropod, albeit highly stylized. I remember thinking her symbols were a bit macabre in context, given the whole extinct/dead/fossilized implication.

I was a dinosaur kid and had cutesaurus and loved her. Orange is my favorite color too, so she was super cool, just was not a fan of her symbols. Honestly the second set of friends are a favorite set for me, I wish they did more animals.

The one I can't figure out is Kingsley the lion. I keep my pony friends set incomplete because I really don't like the lion, I always wondered why she couldn't look more like the moondreamer lion instead.

I've always thought a dino pony was fun! Have never managed to snag her from eBay though. She's cute in pictures but I could see myself getting her and being underwhelmed for whatever reason.

I was a dinosaur kid as well - I love dinosaurs and everything dinosaur related. I was 12 when Jurassic Park came on cinema, and trust me - the 90's where a GREAT time to be a child and love dinosaurs! Not to mention that I got to see Land Before Time when it was released. I was 7 or something - and it was one of the first movies I actually watched in the cinema.

Back to Cutasaurus - I really like her, and I agree with those who said in here that being a girl and liking dinosaurs, you rarely saw something dino and girl-related. I actually think she is quite amazing for that time That said, I also loved my dino's to be as realistic as possible - so even though adult me LOVE her, my child- version would probably look at her and see something totally else

[reanna-mator]

I think she's really cute. I'm not counting on getting her anytime soon, though. But who knows? I got Cha Cha for a really good price in a lucky eBay BIN. That'll probably be how I end up getting her, as it is with most of the more expensive ponies I have.

[Shaiyeh]

here's another dino kid! I never had cutesaurus, and I didn't know she existed until I started collecting, but I would have been all over this pony/saur as a kid. I love her!
