So, here is my first review about SAFARI Ltd 2011 products. I choose to begin with this one to enjoy a little bit our friend Roger Very Happy .

First, let's talk about the real kaprosuchus himself  study  :

This mighty crocodyliformes was discovered in 2009 by Paul Sereno and Hans Larrson in the republic of Niger.
Kaprosuchus was a terrestrial hunter who lived during the upper cretaceous, 95 million years ago. It is believed to reach a 6 meter size  affraid .
The name Kaprosuchus means "boarcroc" and was inspired by the shape of the skull and teeth.

The discovery inspired the artist Todd Marshall who made this wonferful drawing reconstruction of the kaprosuchus.

It is easy to understand this drawing inspired the SAFARI Ltd sculptor  Wink  Laughing

Hmmm, nice drawing but aren't the limbs too much human-like?

Well, look at it... It seems like the author borrowed too much ideas of human anatomy, look at knees, ankles, the calf. It's more fantasy homo-croc-o-sapiens warrior than historical creature...
Just my humble opinion, I don't want to argue about minor things like this one.
BTW, very nice pictures Very Happy

Ah ah Robert, you know I like to argue  Laughing .

Well, crocs have knees, ankles and calf too, we are both tetrapods. If you mean the legs don't look like the legs of a modern crocodile or like a Komodo dragon, it's true.
The fact is crocodiles ancestor were terrestrial for most of them. those reptiles are closer to birds and dinosaurus of course than to monitors, lizards and Komodo dragons.
It means the legs are much more like postosuchus legs than lizard like

[quote="Kikimalou"]So, here is my first review about SAFARI Ltd 2011 products. I choose to begin with this one to enjoy a little bit our friend Roger Very Happy .

Thanks Christophe, as usual nice review, fantastic pictures and a very nice figure! cheers
Anyway a caprosuchus only could be a toy for a Sarcosuchus, I'm not affraid of it! affraid
The size of a Sarcosuchus is about 40 feet, 2 times longer than a caprosuchus, the head of a Sarcosuchus has the same size of our tall friend Willy and he can swallow all his collection! ;)Maybe I'm exagerating but the size of the head is true! drunken

I know Willy was very thin in these pics but are nice to have an idea! Laughing Kidding silent affraid
