So I was browsing Alibaba looking to identify a cheap 'made in china' dinosaur model I recently aquired when I stumbled across this:

As far as I can tell this company makes gigantic animatronic dinosaurs for theme parks, museums and playgrounds. This is one is clearly based off of a pleo. Like, it is basically just a giant steel skeleton pleo that you can order with optional handle bars for kids to ride on. So many hilarious questions went through my mind when I first saw this, like why bother copying a pleo? Why not just make a generic long necked dinosaur? And why does it have seductive bedroom eyes lol I just don't even know what to think about this thing, but it gave me a good laugh so I thought I'd post it.

  Indeed it looks like a giant copy of a pleo , and it's eyes it's Hilarius ! Maybe something for the big pleo fans to put in their garden ?

That looks like the giant pleo that Innvo Labs uses when they set up at conventions and shows, like at CES.  My guess is that this is the company that made the display for Innvo Labs.  The head and eyes look a little odd because to the camera angle.

Woah thats neat if it is! I didn't even think about them being a company commissioned by Innovo to make a display piece I guess Innovo gave them permission to sell it as they saw fit. Still if I had a spare 4K lying around and a mansion I wouldn't mind having a giant animatronic pleo in the foyer lol
