No. The Aepycamelus is smaller than the Synthetoceros!



I don't have a photo of them together--but the two pictures should give an idea of the figures' sizes. A live Aepycamelus should be about 4m high at the shoulders. Synthetoceros was substantially smaller.

As shown in this excellent Maurico Anton sketch:

I did a search and it found the source in Google books:

It is Neohipparion

I have both figures: The Aepycamelus is 8.5 cm (3 ¼") to the very tip top of the ears and Synthetoceras is 6 cm ( 2 ⅜") to the very top of the horn.

I actually think the Aepycamelus works as a pretty good Oxydactylus (at least that's what I use it for)

it would huh? I too like using animals as stand ins for others if they can "pass". My paop zorse is posing as an early species of equus .

Honestly, the best stand in for 'primtive' Equus would be either the Przewalski's horse (CollectA makes one right now), the Wild Ass (also CollectA) or a Fjord horse (Mojo, Schleich...I think they all do, or did, make one). Depends on what locality you are looking to recreate! The Fjord will ne more northern, the Wild ass more southern, the Przewalski kind of in-between.

I have the Collecta Przewalski, and I'll look into the others! Ive been meaning to pick up the Collecta wild ass as well...
