Sideshow Dinosauria Maquettes



  1. Except the Spinosaurus' fishy meal looks like a misshapen Dunkleosteus. Bad form, Mattel..

  2. A retro carnosaur-headed Spino!

    If only you were not so far away, David, you can have this Sideshow Styracosaurus. Well, ok, you can buy it at a much reduced 'mate's rate'... I would be much more selfless were my circumstances not demanding otherwise. ;_;

  3. Doesn't it make more sense for the "spinosaur" toy to actually be a Dimetrodon? That would explain why the face is so short, why it's capable of quadrupedal motion, and why the fish is Dunkleosteus-like (still over a hundred million years off but hey, at least it's in the right geologic era). Plus, there has been some suggestion that Dimetrodon included large amounts of aquatic life in its diet.

  4. I was going to say that, but it doesn't have that many claws on its hands...also, Spinosaurus has a higher profile these days, so it'd make more sense to make a toy of it.

  5. My wife bought me the Sideshow Protoceratops vs. Velociraptor for Xmas...she won't let me put it on the mantle, though.

  6. There's also this:


Trolls get baleted.
