The CollectA Therizinosaurus - Deluxe 1:40 scale figure showcases the dinosaur's most notable attribute: its massive, elongated claws, which are accurately depicted and proportioned. The body is sculpted to reflect the robust, yet somewhat avian, build of the Therizinosaurus, with a well-defined musculature and a prominent, rounded belly.
The skin texture is finely detailed, mimicking the feather-like covering that scientists believe adorned this dinosaur. The head is small with a beak-like mouth, and the eyes are carefully painted to give a lifelike appearance. The stance of the figure suggests a gentle, herbivorous creature, with its forelimbs slightly raised, displaying its formidable claws.
The coloration is naturalistic, featuring both earthy tones and vibrant colors.
The most distinctive feature of Therizinosaurus was the presence of gigantic claws on each of the three digits of their frontlimbs.
This CollectA Therizinosaurus - Deluxe 1:40 measures approx in inches 8.3 H x 10.8 L.
Therizinosaurus, often referred to as the "scythe lizard," is most famous for its gigantic claws, which are among the longest of any known animal, reaching up to one meter in length. These claws were not weapons for hunting but were likely used for foraging and possibly for defense. Unlike most theropods, which were primarily carnivorous, Therizinosaurus is believed to have been herbivorous, using its claws to pull down branches and strip leaves.
The anatomy of Therizinosaurus is quite distinctive. It had a small skull on a long neck, suggesting a feeding strategy that involved reaching high vegetation. Its beak-like mouth and robust, peg-like teeth were adapted for a diet of tough plant material. The body was bulky with a wide, rounded belly, indicative of a large digestive system necessary for processing plant matter. Its hind limbs were strong and columnar, supporting its substantial body weight, while the forelimbs were elongated and powerful, bearing the impressive claws.
