Very cute, shame it's dated now.

[ceratopsian]

Wow- that is quite a model!

[Huskies]

Love it. I wonder what is the scale.

[ceratopsian]

It's very striking but perhaps a shame that the feathering doesn't reach down along the fingers.

I'd say the wing membranes being missing is a bigger concern.

[ceratopsian]

I think the membranes are likely but not proven by analogy with Yi. So I personally can live with that at present.

[acro-man]

Forgive my ignorance I didn't know this species til now, so I thought of it in every good way.
I will deliver everybody's opinion to YC for a better sculpt in the future.

After all, imagination took the most part in their previous StarCraft creations than science and facts.

[Patrx]

That really is beautiful 

[Minmiminime]

Ooh, if I had $300...

[postsaurischian]

  Wonderful! .... but too costy (for me)

A wild scansoriopterygid model appears!
Kaprosaurus! Go buy him!
Kaprosaurus used buy!
It failed!
The wild model flees!
Kaprosaurus is sad that he can't buy it.

In all seriousness,I wish I can buy this,Scansoriopterygidae is my favorite prehistoric animal clade of all time,so I will die happy if I get this,I know the Yi Qi by Kaiyodo but it doesn't appear here in Philippines.It's best to dream.By the way,Epidendrosaurus is a synonym of Scansoriopteryx.right?

Correct it's a synonym.

[BlueKrono]

Wow, this is a Scansoriopteryx? How did they miss the membranes?

[Patrx]

If memory serves, until the discovery of Yi in 2015, the long manual digits of scansoriopterygids were usually hypothesized to have served a function similar to the fingers of an aye-aye; that is, extracting insect larvae from trees. Andrea Cau did speculate as to the possibility of patagia in scansoriopterygids all the way back in 2008, though! I wonder, since the styliform bones of Yi's wings are not known from the other two scansoriopterygids, is it actually safe to assume they also bore patagia? It does seem likely, anyway.
