Safari Ltd. Prehistoric World Liopleurodon Figurine - Detailed 7" Plastic Model Figure - Fun Educational Play Toy for Boys, Girls & Kids Age 3+

It's amazing. Dinosaur toys have advanced right along with our knowledge of dinosaurs. I remember the old toys I grew up with, with upright T-Rex's, for example, walking on two legs with their tails dragging the ground, a uniform gray. We know of dinosaurs that were undiscovered when I was 7. Makes you want to be a kid again.The detail is amazing on this toy, the fearsome jaws and teeth, the coloring. It's a very solid, durable-looking toy as well, with no parts ready to snap off. It so revolutionized my son's dinosaur collection (and like any 7-year-old he's a paleontologist in training, pointing out to me that liopleurodon is NOT a dinosaur) that we had to buy him several more dinosaurs. They're all beautifully designed and painted and well worth every penny, the kind of things you wouldn't mind putting on a shelf to admire.Highly recommended and thoroughly play-tested by a 7-year-old.

They're magical liopluridons.... they're gonna show us the way! Lol

I am an avid enthusiast of evolution and prehistoric life, pliosaurs being one of the prehistoric creatures I'm most fascinated by. I bought this figurine to use as a decoration on my desk and he looks good guarding my computer! The coloration is similar to the Liopleurodon featured in Walking With Dinosaurs. I'm extremely impressed with the quality. It feels heavy in your hand, is not hollow, and is made of a slightly rubbery plastic with a small amount of flexibility. If you are an enthusiast like me, I recommend this figurine. If you have a child who would like this as a toy, I also recommend it as it should endure a child's abuse. Just make sure you stress to your child that this pliosaur is NOT a dinosaur, but a marine reptile. Now I simply need a Leedsicthys for him to feast upon.

I have so many pieces from Safari, Ltd. and I keep buying them for a reason. They have wonderful detail and as far as I can remember, no fowl order compared to some other pieces that I have tried before.

It was a little smaller than I expected, but very good quality. My 4 year old was very excited about his liopleurodon, as they are harder to find than most dinosaurs!

My grandson loves these dinosaurs. They are realistic and we also learn about each kind.

I am buying these dinosaur era replicas for a library display I'll be doing in December 2015. The Liopleurodon is not an actual dinosaur, it is a pliosaur. It was a large carnivorous marine reptile during the middle Jurassic period. That said, I was highly pleased when I received this neat replica. It is approx. 6.5 inches long and wonderfully detailed. It's made of a hard rubber material, so the flippers will not snap off easily. Its mouth is wide open and the teeth are all set apart from each other in great detail. I really like this toy. And I think whoever wins it will like it too.

I have tiny hands and was very disappointed by the size. If this thing is 6 5/8”, than I’m the Queen of England. Bummed for my kid and for my wallet. Maybe if you stretched it out, (which you cannot). It’s very sturdy and great details. Worth paying maybe $5.00 but not almost $9.00
