As we near the delivery of Meta The Deinosuchus, REBOR updates her sister, Lica the Sarcosuchus imperator, which is slated to include an infant Nigersaurus taqueti corpse as a bonus prey item.

Poor little Nigersaurus, barely got a chance at life.  :(

Oh wow, this looks like straight out of Path of Titans (Videogame) :D A good thing in this case.

Still hoping for an alive adult Nigersaurus... ::)
Miss the days when Rebor did dioramas with their figures. Could've had something neat with (alive) Appalachiosaurus & Nigersaurus with Deinosuchus & Sarcosuchus respectively.

For a few bucks more I would have paid for a living one of each to be included. Would have made a good scene too, one getting eaten he other escaping.

That Sarcosuchus looks so promissing, I alwready love the Safari one but I might not resist getting it.
Same size as the Deinosuchus I suppose ?

And actually it might be more accurate than its Safari couterpart that has a too small head and too short snout.

Very excited to see the paint variants of this, especially after getting my Meta

Save for the extra clawed digits, looking good!

Glad the Sarcosuchus's reveal is close enough to the Deinosuchus so that I can make an informed decision on which versions to get respectively.

I think the extra claw digit makes more sense in Sarcosuchus's case? Might be wrong though

I'd like to learn your reasoning for that thinking.

According to another person, a pseudosuchian had evidence of having 5 claws. Apparently Sarco was closer to this group than Deinosuchus. Of course, I am no expert and wouldn't mind someone fact-checking this.

"Closer" sure, but still leagues away from Rauisuchians. Pseudosuchia comprises so many croc-relatives that it isn't very helpful to directly infer anatomy from one separate clade to the next, like you'd be comparing anatomy from Phytosaurs, Aetosaurs, Ornithosuchids, Rauisuchians with Crocodylomorpha proper. Even THEN, Crocodylomorpha comprises of many different families with wildly diverse anatomy and lifestyle; anything from the sea-going Metryorhynchids to the herbivorous Simosuchus.

Sarcosuchus is comfortably nested within Neosuchia, the clade that includes extant crocodilians and of course Deinosuchus. I don't recall any Neosuchian having retained clawed digits on IV and V? Regardless, Rebor's justification for including them are highly flawed and not based on reality.

Thank you for the info, Flaffy! That's interesting to know

Man between this (+ Nigersaurus corpse), and/or Safari Ltd's version, the new Haolonggood Ouranosaurus, and PNSO Suchomimus, the Elrhaz formation finally has a lot more options on the table.
