I've had this generic Schleich icthyosaur for a few years now, and always assumed it was just a generic icthyosaurus. As it turns out, it could actually be representative of Stenopterygius. What do you guys think?



The paint job even seems inspired by this artwork.

Schleich blatantly stole this artwork from that painting.

It also comes with the Dino Crisis 2 Mosasaurus:


Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

avatar_Stegotyranno420 @Stegotyranno The playset with that Ichthyosaur also has a Mosasaurus that's reminiscent of the Dino Crisis 2 one.

Wow, didn't realize the stealing of artwork and applying it to model figures was this prevalent. I guess I'm more looking for opinions on the species of this icthyosaur, though. I feel like this is a Stenopterygius, but want further opinions on this ID.
