the original draft for this post shat itself and deleted itself so im going to make this short and sweet. i recently saw a post (whilst trying to look at rontu posts) from i’m pretty sure @nyaskitten (i cant find the post anymore, apologies if you’re not the person who made it) that stated that rontu was clearly more designed w the teen riyu head in mind than the head that was used for her set- which looks very much true because of the fact that she doesn’t have the spike on her nose that is used in her official set, and the teen riyu head also lacks the spike whilst also retaining that line of scales that goes up the head
but you know who does have the spike on his nose that’s on that head that’s used in the official set? the adult riyu we’re seeing for the first time in the dragon adventures collab! the eye is even in the same spot as where it’s printed on the rontu set!
it looks like rontu’s set does still use a riyu head- just not the teen one! i think that at some point we’ll get an adult riyu set that uses this head!
(and hopefully it looks better and more accurate to the character it’s portraying. i will forever be mad that rontu’s set looks like dogshit)
