Bring back the RTJP skins for select species

Hello! So first off, I'm incredibly happy to see that certain species are being upgraded to variants in the coming update! People have been pretty vocal about wanting the remaining skins with model changes to be upgraded to variants too, which would more specifically be:
  • Triceratops 1993
  • Ankylosaurus 2001
  • Velociraptor 2001 A
  • Velociraptor 2001 B
  • Parasaurolophus 2022
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex 65 MYA
However, discussing them is not the purpose of this post. Instead I would like to address the movie skins that don't make model changes, and probably aren't distinct enough to become variants by JWE2 standards. More specifically movie dinosaurs that already had alternate skins in Return to Jurassic Park. Those would be:
  • Brachiosaurus 1993 (specifically the A, B, C, D, and E skins)
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex 1993 (specifically the A skin)
  • Parasaurolophus 1997 (specifically the A, B, C, D, and E skins)
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex 1997 (specifically the default skin, which you may recall was an inaccurate blueish take)
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex 2001 (both the default and A skins, which you may recall the former being an inaccurate brown take)
While I certainly agree that the first list of skins deserve to be turned into variants... I wholeheartedly believe that the other Jurassic Park era designs deserve some more love too. It would be nice to be able to have some color variety amongst their exhibits without having to use the JW era skins. Bringing back the missing Return to Jurassic Park skins that I listed would be a perfect way to give them this variety. All the devs would have to do would be to port them in and make sure they work. No new texture work would be required at all, unlike when they have to make a whole new skin set for variants, so it would be a low investment update that could go a long way for making some fans happy!

I for one really prefer the wrinkles on Brachiosaurus 1993 over the default design, and would love to have its skins back in particular. :)

I'm sure we'll get more variants for 2022 Parasaurolophus one day. I won't mind seeing more for Triceratops 1993 and Tyrannosaurus 65M would be very interesting.
