Does anybody know if any elephant bird models have been made, if any at all?

there are 2 Kaiyodo sized models Ive seen on eBay. I wish some company would make a bigger model.

Elephant birds, moas, and terror birds haven't received anywhere near enough plastic love.

Didn't Yowies also make one of these or at least a close relative with their Dromornis, Pachyornis or Moa figures?

Halichoeres

Moas are probably the closest relatives of moas/kiwis, but it would be cool to see more proper elephant birtds. In general the megafauna of ancient Madagascar is neglected. Some of the lemurs and aardvark-like things were plenty weird.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

yep I got the dromormis from Halichoeres. :)
if someone makes a larger moa they must also make a Haast's eagle to go with it.  ;D

Well, Yowies already did that in miniature at least. :)

Halichoeres

They certainly did! http://toyanimal.info//index.php?title=Yowies_Lost_Kingdom_47_New_Zealand_Giant_Eagle
