The articulated Allosaurus model from Nanmu Studio (Crooked Mouth Guy).

Inspired by a CGI Dinosaur Documentary

We think that the Allosaurus colouration and broken jaw concept has been inspired by “Dinosaur Revolution”.  This was a four-part, American documentary series that was first shown in 2011.  Episode two, entitled “The Watering Hole”, draws inspiration from fossil discoveries associated with the Upper Jurassic Lourinhã Formation of Portugal.  A juvenile Allosaurus is injured by a sauropod, and this episode focuses on how the predator copes with its broken jaw. Crocodilians can survive severe facial injuries such as broken jaws.  So long as they can still hunt and consume prey.  The documentary perhaps used this knowledge of extant archosaurs as the inspiration behind their Allosaurus.  Subsequently, the Allosaurus from the documentary inspires the Nanmu Studio Crooked Mouth Guy figure.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur comments:

“Two more detailed dinosaur figures from Nanmu Studio.  Allosaurus is a popular theropod amongst collectors.  We are sure these two articulated Allosaurus will create a lot of interest within the collecting community.”
