were they proven viviparous?

No, it's outside of the crown mammals so it very likely laid eggs. It probably also didn't have teats. There's a lot of speculation in this reconstruction.

ok I know it was real but this reconstruction is so unsettling, especially the face. Reminds me of the poor chimera from Fullmetal Alchemist.  :o

Just because the proportions of the skeleton are rather unusual doesn't mean that reconstruction is at all believable.

thanks for the info.

To be fair, I don't find it all that believable either. It looks like a mange-y dog :'(

Well, that hound from hell figure is somewhat disturbing - especially the real size statue -
not sure at all I am so keen on ever displaying such 'splendour' that 'only mother can love' ...  ;)
what you definitely can't say about this beauty, went for 21700 Y ( about 200$ ) :

You already got one - If I remember correctly ...
( any desires for a 2nd ? ...  ;) )

Yes, I have one.
I spent almost the same money.
The figure isn't that big but truly a beauty.

Lovely figure.

For those who love there dinotales, the rarest of the dinometal figures. In fact, I'd guess the rarest of the dinotales. The dinometal ceratosaurus (thank you Helge  :) )

Not exactly my 'cup of tea' this particular model - but I get the collectible value .
20100Y + ~1600Y - That's about 200$



And I'm so glad I don't let true mammals into my collection -
A heroic battle over this 25cm Shinobu Matsumura Kaiyodo black rhino Ended with about 630$ :

Great stuff Jim, lucky you're fabulously wealthy  ;)

Only kidding.....


BrontoScorpio

Well, I guess you wanted another 'V' mark in your DINOLAND collection -
who could ever not symphatize with that ? ... :)
Personally - I don't like this model -
the shape and posture of the T-rex just look too strenuous and unnatural.
who's model is it ?
The locked knees might imply it is a Kazunari Araki model.
Is it ?

Yeah there's only a few models im missing from the Dinoland set and this was one of them. Im not sure if this one is the premade model or a kit. It seems to come in a really big box if it was a kit but i've also only ever seen the premade model painted brown and never in blue. Im not sure who sculpted this model, it might just be Kazunari Araki.

*SNIP*

Its not Araki's - This model was sculpted by Shinobu Matsumura as part of the Kaiyodo Dinoland line (Araki and Matsumura were the two sculptors for that line of figures).  I had it once upon a time, but wasn't too keen on it... I like Araki's style better personally ... at least for customizing ... they're all pretty obsolete as far as accuracy goes...but for being made almost 30 years ago, they're pretty cool ...

Invicta Hunter

When you owned this model did you have the kit or the premade, also do you know if this one is the kit model or a premade one?
As i said in my post before the box seems a little bit to big if it was the kit version.

;D So true ;D Congrats on the new addition, it really is a beautiful model, and love that you are almost there as far as completing the series, that would be a huge accomplishment!
Good luck on hunting the rest of the figures.
