PNSO Prehistoric Dinosaur Models: Paulwun The Dakosaurus 5"

The sculpt of this beast is impressive--a plausible, personality-filled reconstruction of a long extinct marine reptile. Same with the thoughtful, realistic paint job. It's truly a delight to behold.Worth noting: this won't make a good toy for younger kids (maybe 12 and under). It's a fairly rigid display piece. Though exceptionally well crafted and suitable for collection and educational purposes, it is not an ideal plaything for youngsters.

Very well constructed and life like.

Look, it's expensive. I get it. But this is so high quality that it could bring a nerd like me to tears. It is so worth the money. The realism is off the charts, it's beautifully sculpted. I truly wish I could afford everything they sell, because they are all true works of art. Indulge your inner child if you find yourself, like me, daydreaming about these forever before taking the price plunge.

I collect and review Dunkleosteus models, and this is my new favorite. Except for the dorsal fin being too far back (recent material from Morocco puts it further forward), I think the details here are correct or very close to it, considering we don't have fossils of the complete creature. It flows like a real animal, not like a static model: you could hang this in a fish tank and most people wouldn't notice anything amiss at first look. The color is necessarily speculative but highly believable. Little details some modelers pass over, like the wrinkles where the fins join the body, are all here. Uniquely among affordable models, the skull tips up as the jaw moves down, creating a more realistic simulation of the way this giant actually fed. It's superb work.

The PNSO Livyatan prehistoric whale is about 12 1/4 inches long. It does not have a mouth that opens. Some negatives are that there is a somewhat noticeable seam between the eye and flipper and a less noticeable seam behind the mouth. The paint detailing on the eyes and the mouth is not as precise as shown in the prototype photos.Overall, the PNSO Livyatan is a worthy addition to a prehistoric collection, but it does have some drawbacks.

Wow! This fish is way beyond good! It’s so realistic that my friend thought I went to fishing or went to a sushi bar. Look the photos I took! It look so real already while it sit on the pillow, image if I take a photo with this near the water. Buy it!

Great detailed model
