The Papo Yangchuanosaurus Dinosaur Model

Its fossils come from Sichuan Province (southwestern China). The type species Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis was named in 1978 (Dong et al). It has been classified as a member of the Metriacanthosauridae family of theropod dinosaurs. Size estimates vary, however, some palaeontologists estimate that it may have reached around ten metres in length. Yangchuanosaurus was an apex predator.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur praised the design team at Papo for creating such a fantastic figure. He added:

“It is a terrific theropod model.  The pose is dynamic, yet the figure stands perfectly well.  The teeth in the articulated jaws are perhaps a little too white but overall, the model’s paint scheme is excellent.”

A Superb Theropod Figure

The head of the model is amazing. Congratulations to the design team at Papo, it really is an incredible dinosaur model. Papo models are popular with collectors as well as dinosaur fans. Furthermore, there is so much detail in this figure to admire.  The nasal crests, the bony ridges over the eyes and the scales surrounding the nostrils are amazing.

In conclusion, Mike from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“The Yangchuanosaurus is one of the best Papo theropod figures for a while.  It is a beautiful dinosaur model.  Such care has been taken over the integument and the manus has the digits in correct proportion.  In addition, the colour scheme selected for the Yangchuanosaurus is excellent.”
