Now, before I begin this review properly, I have to tell you one thing: There were two main versions of this figure, a motorized one and a non-motorized one.
Today I would like to introduce to you the „Wangensaurier“ (literally meaning „cheek lizard“) from the “Wagner Margarinefiguren” series. When these figures were released sixty or so years ago, it was quite common in Germany to give prehistoric creatures German names and not to use the common species name.
Recur’s rendition of Carcharodontosaurus stands 12.5 cm tall and measures about 21 cm long.
Given how frequently Ceratosaurus shows up in pop culture, it is a little surprising that so few people can identify it. Certainly, one cannot fault it for lack of a catchy name, which makes it sound like a walking nightmare composed of dripping gore and massive steak knives.
