Quick question: I know the Dino Riders Placerias is small but does anyone know the exact measurements? If he's small enough I am going to try to put two of them in my triassic diorama to illustrate the swan song of the Dicynodonts & Bonus Question! Does anyone know the measurements of the Dino Riders "Killer Wart Hog?"  Richie |

Yeah 2x4 1/2 " is about right for the Placerias...I don't have the Killer Wart Hog though... :/

Drat, I have the warthog (AKA Megachoerus AKA Deinodon), but it's in a box in my storage unit at the moment. Curses to moving! I'll try and get it out this weekend to get measurements for you. I remember it being roughly twice the size as the Placerias in height, about 1.5 times in length, and about the same width if not a little larger, if that helps!

Here are photos of both, complete with scale bars: Placerias:  Enteldon (Megachoerus):  Also, Webdragon, I think you meant Daeodon (formerly Dinohyus). |

thanks sbell! i've been undecided on if i want to put the "killer warthog" in the oligocene or the miocene. Richie It would be more correct in the Miocene. A smaller species, like Entelodon or Archaeotherium, would be more likely for the Oligocene. |

I now have only one of those Placerias left--I wonder where Tomhet got his... That's why I didn't show it--it would just be cruel. |

I ask, why do they not release more of them good Chinasaurs? It's a beauty, I wonder what Tomhet have to trade to get one from you  Congrats to both of yah ;D The sculpt looks really nice. Thanks for sharing, tomhet ;D Was the figure released long ago? How big? You guys can make a killer diorama with all of the early critters! ;D |

Thanks for sharing, tomhet ;D Was the figure released long ago? How big? You guys can make a killer diorama with all of the early critters! ;D I can tell you exactly when I found my first one--the day my son was born (in the hospital gift shop!). That would be about 5 1/2 years ago. The year after I found it, I would come across one or two in various dollar stores. Since then, I haven't found a single one--at maximum, I had about 6, but they were so handy for trades or sales. As for Tomhet's offer--I can't be specific, but it was a currency exchange. Yes, I can be mercenary--but I think it was pretty fair (Tomhet seemed happy too!). |

A smaller species, like Entelodon or Archaeotherium, would be more likely for the Oligocene. yes you're right I finally decided to put him in the Miocene chasing some Anchitherium while a Synthetoceras looks out scared. btw... can i call the Anchitherium something else ie can i label him as any of the other Miocene horses? |

I think he's a little too primitive to call him a Cormohipparion or something, maybe Sbell can answer more adequately.

As for the other stuff--whoops, replied in the wrong thread! So I made it go away. |
