Papo Dimetrodon Dinosaur Figure

This Papo Dimetrodon is a model of a prehistoric reptile that lived during the Permian period. Its defining feature is the tall sail along its back, which was probably used to regulate body heat or in mating displays. The sail is the centrepiece of the figure, standing out clearly against the rest of the body.

Made by French toy company Papo, the model is intended as a highly detailed and accurate representation of the animal. The sculpting focuses on the features that make Dimetrodon recognisable, so it works well as a reference piece as well as a figure to play with.

It will suit collectors of prehistoric animals, or anyone who wants a Permian-era reptile alongside their dinosaurs on a shelf or in play.
