Papo T-Rex Dinosaur Figurine, Hand-Painted, 32 cm

A Tyrannosaurus rex figurine for children, collectors and anyone interested in prehistory. The name means "tyrant lizard king". The species was named in 1905 and lived in the late Cretaceous Period. It was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs. The real animal walked on two legs, balancing its huge head with a long, heavy tail that sometimes contained over 40 vertebrae.

Papo aims to make its dinosaurs long-lasting, and this figure is finished with attention to posture and detail, which gives it a lifelike quality. It suits teachers who want a hands-on way to talk about prehistory, and collectors who want a well-finished display piece.
