Well, I&#;m no expert in dinosaurs or dinosaur toys compared to most, but I feel obliged as this toy is the pride of my (tiny) collection and there is no review so far. So, from what I can see this is quite a good representation of one of the most well-known dinosaurs out there. For starters, the scales are sculpted brilliantly and really give a good feel of how the creature might have appeared. They have even sculpted a few wrinkles of flesh on the flank, which adds to the realism.
On the head, the eye is painted in a glossier paint than the rest of the body which gives a sense of character to it. However, the head also has some of the main drawbacks of the figure. The decision to paint the nostrils red makes it look a bit like it&#;s got a nosebleed, and although the teeth are sculpted well, the open mouth makes it look a bit too smiley &#; not to mention the tongue that is only half red.
This figure is a tripod, balancing on its tail which bends on the ground, giving the dinosaur an old-fashioned look. But the colour scheme is not old-fashioned &#; they&#;ve gone for an orangey brown, with a green wash over the top of the animal. This gives a different appearance depending on what angle you are looking from.
The last point I want to make is the size. It is massive! The Dalek in that picture is 6&#; tall, and it is half as tall as the Tyrannosaurus, which would make the height about 12&#;. In length, I&#;d say it was about a foot, which means it towers over all the rest of my dinosaurs, and that isn&#;t a bad thing&#;
I&#;m not sure what company makes this dinosaur, and I&#;ve yet to see it available in any shops, online or otherwise. I got mine on eBay for just under £10 but I don&#;t know if that&#;s good or not! If anybody knows which company produces this figure, please leave a comment!
