The Papo Iguanodon figure features a moveable jaw that opens and closes.
The figure features a robust and muscular build that reflects its powerful hind legs and sturdy posture. Its most iconic characteristic, the thumb spike, is prominently displayed, a feature that distinguishes the Iguanodon from other species.
The skin texture is carefully sculpted to resemble rough, reptilian scales, adding a layer of realism to the model. The color palette, a mix of earthy tans and browns, is applied with subtle shading to create a lifelike appearance, mirroring how the creature might have blended into its surroundings.
The figure is designed in a dynamic stance, with one arm extended forward and the head upwards tilted slightly, giving the impression of movement or alertness. The long, thick tail provides balance, further adding to the realistic anatomy of this prehistoric animal.

Iguanodon is one of the first dinosaurs to have been identified by scientists, with its discovery dating back to the early 19th century. The name "Iguanodon" means "iguana tooth," reflecting the similarities between the dinosaur’s teeth and those of modern-day iguanas. This dinosaur lived during the early Cretaceous period, around 125 million years ago, and fossils have been found in Europe and parts of North America. Iguanodons were herbivores, feeding primarily on plants, and are believed to have moved in herds for protection against predators.
One of the most distinctive features of the Iguanodon is its thumb spike, which paleontologists believe was used as a defensive weapon or to forage for food. The dinosaur’s ability to walk on both two and four legs made it highly adaptable to its environment, allowing it to graze on both low-lying plants and taller vegetation. The Iguanodon was large, reaching lengths of up to 33 feet and weighing as much as five tons. Its size, coupled with the thumb spike, made it a formidable presence despite being a plant-eater.
