Dunkleosteus toys or models?

[Matt Bille]

I curate a FaceBook page on our old bone-headed friend Dunkleosteus terrelli.  I have only two full-body toys, one from WildSafari and a larger Japanese one.  Are there others?  I've been hunting for quite a while.    https://www.facebook.com/DunkleosteusTerrelli?ref=hl

The Japanese one is the Favorite Co. "Soft Model?" There's also a smaller Japanese one: the Kaiyodo Dunkleosteus (https://www.facebook.com/149100965149683/photos/a.149106681815778.31198.149100965149683/149110115148768/?type=3&theater). Let me know if that link doesn't work.

I think the best mass-produced toy is the Safari Dunkleosteus. If you want a resin model, the Paleocraft dunkleosteus by Sean Cooper is a good choice.

There are a few of varying quality. The Favorite line has a modest sized one on a stand, and a really big soft model. The Safari is still, probably, they best representation of all of them; I know I'm not alone in putting it above the resin versions.

In the smaller size, as well as the Dinotales one there is a skull from a later series; there is also a weird monster-ish one from the Animal Kaiser card game in Japan and a small figure from the original Prehistoric Panorama series (in the marine set).

One odd thing--overall, the Japanese figures tend to the forked heterocercal tail, while most other reconstructions use a pointed, heterocercal caudal fin. As far as I've known, most arthrodires that do have known tails tend to the single-pointed tail fin.

At the moment I am having a Dunkleosteus privately printed by Shapeways from Raul Lunia's (Dinoraul) 3D renders, which I purchased from him. It's going to be in 1/72 scale, since it would be prohibitively expensive in a large scale.



I'm not offering it for sale though, since that would be a violation of copyright. But I thought it might be something interesting to mention. I will post some photos in my thread if anyone is interested.
