A nice guy, I put mine on a 1/30 shelf which is already a scale for a big Eryops. How do you calculate the scale please ?

I want that Eryops. Great one. Collecta or other brand should also make one.

Nice figure

Very good model!

Hello everyone, sorry for the late answer, weirdly I didn't get email notifications for my thread.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Eryops' skull was about 60 cm long, the model's one is 1,7 cm, so you get 1:35.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] it's not hard to find on ebay. There's also a pinkish variant.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I agree!

Thank you for showing it, Leyster. Is this dino articulated?

The Kaiyodo polar bear is beautiful. Although of course we all know that there an even more beautiful polar bear . Don't you have it yet?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] yes, it's an articulated toy made for the 2013 Walking With Dinosaurs 3D movie. And no, I do not collect sheeps
