Summary: Hope he doesn't eat my coelacanth! 2008-05-03
Comment: I got one of these beauties at the Dinosaur Store in Cocoa Beach, Florida (which will be opening its splendid new building later this year -- 2008 -- in case you are lucky enough to live in the area which I do not). Dunkleosteus was a huge, dramatically armored fish of the ancient seas, and if you have been to museums you may have seen him as a replica or a partial-fossil-model or in a mural. I especially like the related exhibit at the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY -- you might like it too (and they had toy trilobites there). Or you may have seen him in one of those computer-simulated TV shows. It's a cool fish.
This is a nicely sized toy, big enough for some serious detail, and it has a ferocious open mouth. Whether you are a kid in need of a wicked beastie or an adult dino hobbyist, or something in between or beyond, you are likely to enjoy this fish!
Oh, and for the curious... My coelacanth is one of those small Japanese snap-together models (gashapon?), but very beautiful, and I got it from UDF on eBay but their store seems to be gone.

Summary: Dunkleosteus 2008-03-25
Comment: After seeing the DVD Chased by Sea Monsters, my son was all about the sea creatures from the dinosaur age. There aren't too many of these guys available in toy form and Dunkleosteus was one of the few I found.
He's made of the usual hard plastic and stands up to play. He's painted pretty close to what we saw in the DVD. He comes in at about 5 inches long.
"Dino-Kids" will have fun with this guy in out of of the tub for quite a while! Recommended.

Summary: Fantastic replica! 2008-03-24
Comment: This dunkleosteus is really wonderful! My son has many, many dinosaur and prehistoric creatures from this same line, but his favorites (and the most difficult to find) are the prehistoric sea creatures. I have never seen a dunkleosteus replica before, so I had to have this one for him. He LOVES it. And no one else he knows has one, so he feels pretty special. It's very detailed and extremely durable. If you are into these things, you'll love it and need it for your collection. Now if I could just find megalodon...

Summary: Devonian armored fish 2007-12-17
Comment: The only replica of an armored fish available-great for teachers or paleo buffs who love and study our ancient world. The color is conjectural of course but the detail is the real deal.
An excellent addition to anyone's dino/paleo collection.
