They're terrible!



Roughly clockwise from the left, they are:

Smilodon
mammoth
Lexovisaurus
Brontosaurus
Brachiosaurus
Tyrannosaurus
Carnotaurus
Parasaurolophus
Stegosaurus
"two headed lizard"
Triceratops
Utahraptor
Dilophosaurus
Nodosaurus
Therizinosaurus
Dimetrodon

The two headed lizard is described on the web site as a prehistoric aquatic reptile with two heads, which sounds like a reference to Hyphalosaurus, an Early Cretaceous choristodere for which there are many specimens, one of which was famously found with two heads. This, however, just looks like one of those generic two headed dragons. What a pity, that might have been an actually interesting choice.
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.

If Diramix could make figures that are even close to their associated artwork (look at that card in the corner!) they would totally be worth tracking down.

But they are not.

If only it looked even somewhat like Hyphalosaurus!  :))  Fingers crossed PNSO will make one in their next series of minis.

Silvanusaurus

Ah, two headed lizard, one of my all time favourite species...

Although I'd prefer a one-headed individual, personally...

Maybe they'd heard the old adage that "two heads are better than one." Cross- cultural influences - powerful stuff.
