I have a few of these Primeval scorpion and Sabretooth cat figures available for sale.
I hadn't looked too closely at the scorpions before but they're actually a really nice and highly detailed figure. They're about 12cms long in body (not including the whip/stinger). A must for the pre dino figure collector as there seem to be very few such figures readily available. The scorpion itself, although not alluded to as such in the series (merely Silurian scorpion), would appear to represent Brontoscorpio (so say the online Primeval nerds anyway
). Brontoscorpio was apparently a meter long creature that haunted the Silurian seas. I guess that this would look superb in a diorama of the era 
. If this is meant to represent that creature then they didn't have much to work with as Brontoscorpio is represented as a single fossil pedapalp claw therefore any representation is going to be somewhat speculative (a bit like Spinosaurus ........... but we won't go there ) I'm not sure about articulation on the scorpion as I haven't removed any from their boxes yet (I'm not sure if they are articulated at all as I can't see any points of articulation).
As with the Raptors, these are $21.50 ($16.50 for the scorpion and Steven Hart figure (he's got a big gun!) and $5.00 for postage if removed from packaging).
The Sabretooth is a really nicely executed figure. Very detailed and well painted (see Bucketfoot's thread in the Dinosaur Toy section). It is also about 12cms long, fully articulated and probably the rarer of the Primeval action figures. You get an Abby Maitland figure with this one. As with the others, these are vanishing fast and I doubt that I will be able to source any more. 
Again, these are $21.50 ($16.50 for the Sabretooth and Abby Maitland figure (she's quite foxy I guess!) and $5.00 for postage if removed from packaging).
Payment is via Paypal.
PM me if interested
If anyone wants the Future Predator and Helen Cutter figure then PM me quick as there are a handful of these left in a store near me for the same price above
