From nose to tail tip this beautiful >11.25", six (6) ounce mini-predator stalks my home seeking prey. While some might consider the colors boring they certainly look realistic for a foot long (or thirty-foot long) reptile, with a hint of orange on the top of the neck and face, its yellow eyes protected by ridges of bone(!) and a darker green on its upper surfaces and a dark-yellow coloring for its lower surfaces. The skin detail is exquisite, on a par with the earlier Spinosaurus and the smaller Raptors. It is generally a darker color than the Raptors were. My only quibble is what appear to be knee pads on both knees. The arms are long and muscular and mindful of the earlier Raptors, but thicker and larger. It is in a highly animated pose, its legs powerful and its main balance is placed on the front foot. The spines on its back are less obvious in real life than in the photographs, just by the way. As we know the mouth opens and closes and it actually opens quite widely (see photo). These are truly gorgeous and easily the nicest Theropods available at an affordable price that I have ever seen.

Actually they cost $16.00 each, including shipping. Not too dear at all. I got them from Happy Hen.

So far they seem satisfied with various Marx herbivores. Soft on the outside, crunchy on the inside. The Marx Bar & Grill. MMMMM....Good.

Nice "Wolf Pack" of predators there. A buddy of mine who owned a hobby store made a pretty realistic model of a T-Rex with half of "Barney the Purple Dino" in his mouth with the other bloody half laying on the ground / stand. He had this in his store window. He got alot of complaints and compliments about it. I thought it was hilarious!

Reminds me of the Allosaurus skull on display at the Fossil Shop at Blackgang Chine, Isle of Wight, which had Laa-laa from the Teletubbies in it's jaws! Dinosaur Isle has nothing on that!
