Safari Ltd. Dilophosaurus #287-829 Review:
Safari Ltd. has two Dilophosaurus currently available. This is the older version.
We really like this figure (even better than the newer version). This is one of the tallest Dilophosaurus due to its very upright stance. It is a very sleek and "fast looking" figure.
The jaw is not movable, but is of good form and this model has some of the best teeth. The paint on the whole figure is well done, but the paint on the head (multiple colors) is really top notch. For example the crests are not just a solid color, but are shaded / blended nicely. The eye is a very bright orange.
Overall a great figure for the price.

Dilophosaurus Dinosaur Facts:
Dilophosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaurs (hollow bones and 3 toed limbs) that lived in what is now North America about 193 million years ago. It was also the largest known land-animal of North America during the Early Jurassic period.
Slender and lightly built, its size was comparable to that of a brown bear. The largest known specimen weighed about 400 kilograms (880 lb), measured about 7 meters (23 ft) in length, and its skull was 590 millimeters (23 in) long.
Its snout was narrow, and the upper jaw had a gap or “kink” below the nostril. It had a pair of arched crests on its skull. The lower jaw was slender and delicate at the front, but deep at the back. The teeth were long, curved, thin, and compressed sideways. The teeth in the lower jaw were much smaller than those of the upper jaw. Most of the teeth had serrations at their front and back edges. The neck was long and its arms were powerful, with a long and slender upper arm bone.
Interestingly, the DilophosaurusÂ’ hands had four fingers (Theropods typically only have 3); the first was short but strong and bore a large claw, the two following fingers were longer and slenderer with smaller claws; the fourth was genetically unusable.
