Twisty turny Tanystropheus

[Derek.McManus]

My favorite "non-ornithodiran" reptile! I have the JP Chaos Effect, Carnegie (v2) and Kaiyodo.

lol...me too, one of my favorite non-dinosauria archosaurs. For those interested in cryptozoology, Champ researcher Dennis Hall believes the Lake Champlain monster is Tanystropheus. He even has a name for it, Champtanystropheus americansus. No, I don't believe him (I don't even believe in the monster) but I just finished a book about Champ and found it interesting. Dennis Hall is quite a character from what I've read...so are most crptozoologists.

I find it fascinating how people seem to have a need for  mysteries like this in their life. I think it says something about the human condition.

Ah, I couldnt tell from the previous photo that the plastic was cut. I thought you meant the internal wire was broken, preventing it from holding a pose. Thats why I mentioned replacing the wire.

No, problem, it's all ok. I didn't know that there was a wire, so, it's my fault.

Not quite Tanystropheus, but Dinocephalosaurus:

If it didn't cost so much for such a cartoonish figure I'd be tempted

I'm already tempted but the price still has me a little indecisive. I don't mind the stylization.
Although once the Guanlingsaurus releases I may have to go for it.

This thread wouldn't be complete without the 2021 Mattel Tanystropheus. Here's my pic of it taken for the DTC a few years back.
