Where to get a good ~1:30 Iguanodon?

Hey there folks, just mooching for advice from whoever is willing to help. Been waiting for an Iguanodon to add to my collection, and I was counting on papo providing one, if I'm honest. Now it looks like they won't be releasing one, at least for a while. While I do like bullylands and safaris offerings, they are both around 20cm long making them a little smaller than I'd like. I really like the gene models iguanodon but can't seem to find a place to order it. Does anybody have any suggestions as to where to get a good iguanodon model that's around 30cm long? Thanks!

That's a very pretty Iguanodon, looks very elegant.

Looks amazing! Thanks. It is a little out of my price range for a single dino, though.
How long is it?

If you are searching for a 1:30 / 1:35 Iguanodon ( 33 cm long ), you don't have so many choices (unfortunately)..  :-\
I love Iguanodon figures too and I have a little collection  ( you can see it here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/albums/72157674241021004/with/15838154763/ ).
As you can see in my Flickr Album, the only 33cm Iguanodon is the DinostoreUs/Favorite ( that's 1:35 ).
I don't have the Starlux and the Geoworld one ( but they are quite smaller than 1:35...).
All the Iguanodon figures usually on the market are smaller than 1:35.
Also the retired Bullyland yellow/red Iguanodon is 26 cm ( 1:40 ).
Probably there is some resin kit at 1:35 ( the Geenmodels one is now retired).
But a resin kit usually is much more pricey than the DinostoreUs finished model ( http://stores.dansdinosaurs.com/search.php?search_query=iguanodon&Search= ).
On Shapeways there is a 3D figure at 35 cm but it's pricey too ( the LARGE one:  http://www.shapeways.com/product/9FSHP3F9G/iguanodon-medium-large-size?optionId=60864371 ).
If you like chinasaurs, Recur has a 23cm Iguanodon:  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Recur-Toys-Iguanodon-Dinosaur-Model-Highly-Detailed-PVC-Toy-Hand-Painted-Dinosaur-Figures-Original-Design-Soft/32712667143.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.9.nIGi6y&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2_10065_10068_10000009_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10060_10061_10062_10056_10055_10054_10059_10099_10078_10079_427_10073_10103_10102_10096_10052_10050_10051,searchweb201603_2,afswitch_5&btsid=8fa02bc4-eee4-4049-a6bc-f03e5ddc9dc1

Good luck for your search...  :)

I think the Bullyland Iguanodon is the best bet for a relatively affordable 1:30 Iguanodon. It's actually closer to 1:40, as Robin points out, but it's larger than the Carnegie, Wild Safari, or CollectA versions. It could easily be a 1:30 individual that is smaller than maximum size.

I agree about the Bullyland Iguanodon. Look how beautiful it may be when repainted:

Wow! It's amazing how much better can a figure look with a nice paintjob... beautiful repaint.

I actually really like the Bullyland color scheme, but Megalosaurus, that repaint is fantastic.

Also the Walking with Dinosaurs (Toyway) Iguanodon (24cm, 1:40) could be ok for a sub-adult at 1:35 scale:





...just a little note for collectors: there were 2 Iguanodon figures in the Bullyland catalogue (both retired).
The old Museum Line Iguanodon:


..and the newer Museum Line Iguanodon (with an articulated arm):


The first one was also available with a full yellow paint or in grey.


Finally a comparison:


( with Papo Parasaurolophus at 1:45 scale )

That is a gorgeous colour scheme.

Many thanks, my friends! Especially Robin. You make it extremely easy to build up the collection I have in mind. Between foulkes' repaint and the comparison shot, I've decided to get the bullyland iggy. It's about the size I'm looking for, though it's not a perfect "1:30" it is a reasonable size for a smaller adult individual at that scale. I hope my painting skills will be enough to do justice to what I have in mind! I do really like the pose as well. Though the favorite iggy is more detailed and I like it as well, I don't think it has the personality of the bullyland, and between that and the cost I think I'll start tracking down the bullyland iggy. Thanks guys!
