Scelidosaurus (Invicta)
…e a few of those. With the Invicta line mostly being in the 1/45 scale and Scelidosaurus only being a 13’ animal it makes this model also among the smallest in the Invicta line. With this being one of the oldest Invicta models it should come as no surprise to our readers that it is also one of the most dated. Scelidosaurus is known to have had hind limbs longer than the front and although this means that the animal probably had a posture similar t…
Scelidosaurus (CollectA Deluxe)
…lared as a “Deluxe” dinosaur. To be honest, this is a promise the CollectA Scelidosaurus can’t really live up to, although it is really neat. The CollectA Scelidosaurus is 23 cm long, 7 cm tall and of a really heavy touch. The back and the many scales and spikes of different sizes are all painted tan and beige. The shoulder spines make an exception: These eye-catchers are light red. The belly is grey. The animal has been caught at quick pace, mout…
Scelidosaurus (Paleo-creatures)
…added with good intentions, and that was to demonstrate the height of the Scelidosaurus. Despite the out of place looking tree, the rest of the base is fairly well done. With a miniature log, and a rock sculpted onto the base. I personally prefer to keep my Scelidosaurus off of its base, because of the fact that the tree just does not look like it belongs in a terrestrial setting. Overall, this is another great figure made by Jetoar, and it is on…
Borealopelta (Jurassic World by Mattel)
…ch have enough material from the hands to show they had five digits there. Scelidosaurus, Peloroplites, and Sauropelta also have unguals/claws on the first three digits, while the fourth and fifth lacked them. Regarding the pes/feet, Scelidosaurus, Stegouros, and the nodosaurids Europelta, Mymoorapelta, Niobrarasaurus, and Sauropelta all have been preserved with four toes, and with unguals on each of these toes. Many of these specimens’ unguals ha…
Minmi (CollectA)
…CollectA nodosaurs and ankylosaurs that I have seen (Their Polacanthus and Scelidosaurus being the main offenders). Minmi was found in Roma, Queensland, in 1964 and named after a nearby creek. It was the first thyreophoran unearthed in the Southern Hemisphere and is also one of the few dinosaurs known from an almost complete specimen. Minmi may be too primitive to be included in the Ankylosauidae or Nodosauridae families. It is suggested that Minm…
Spinosaurus (Wild Safari by Safari ltd. – 2021 ver)
…form (or, maybe, a primitive Thyreophoran? I’m personally getting a strong Scelidosaurus impression from the model, oddly enough). It’s become quite the cliché to model Spinosaurus after crocodiles, due to superficial similarities in anatomy and (possibly) lifestyle; however no fossil evidence of crocodile-like integument has been discovered yet, so the inclusion of such armor is still artistic license. Also speculative is the animal’s gait: Safar…
Nodosaurid (Furkan)
…seem relatively static with Marx´s tank – style Ankylosaurus and Invicta´s Scelidosaurus as a prototype. Although later Nodosaur figures leastwise lifted their tails (Carnegie, Schleich), the poses remained uninspired. Then came Papo Ankylosaurus / Euoplocephalus and changed our perception of Ankylosaurs at least a little. The reviewed dinosaur figure was on the market earlier and anticipated a bold and swinging Ankylosaur pose. I think it´s a nic…
Compsognathus (alias “Velociraptor”) by Tchibo
…this little Compy I very much like the “Ankylosaurus” (which seems to be a Scelidosaurus), too. And now for the facts: This little fellow is 10 cm tall and 20 cm long. It´s painted in five colours: Green with darker green stripes for the body, white for the eyeballs, black for the claws and the pupil and red for tongue and the jaw flaps. At its belly it only has the European “CE” – sign that doesn´t say anything at all – only that it fits “Europea…
Sauropelta (PNSO)
…a relatively stiff tail. Eventually it is a hard decision. Safari dared an scelidosaurus-like approach with a fairly athletic sculpt, while PNSO went with the heavy tank variant. Though I like the PNSO more for its ultrarealistic sculpting details and overall look, I will keep both and probably display them together as an example on how different two interpretations of the same animal can be, despite sharing size, scale and proportions….. what do…
