Tupuxuara - Pterodactyl

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

This is an adult speciman..but a baby prob wouldn't look much different.

 

[Dyscrasia]

I think a small family of pterosaurs would be pretty nice if SS produces them in the near future.

Ordered!!!

And I agree with other, the video sealed it for me. He is bigger than I thought he would be.

And comparably affordable to the other pieces. An excellent way to lure new enthusiasts into the line.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Seems to working... ;D

I think it'd be neat to see a nesting scene like that. Did they actually build nests, or is that only in movies and cartoons?

 

[dansdinosaurs]

We've found dinosaur nesting grounds, yes. These were (and still are) major discoveries, because they indicate nurturing behavior; the babies weren't just abandoned to their fate, as with some other animals.

Same for me. I wasn't sold until I saw the video. Ordered now though!

No pterosaur nests have actually been found..but we have found eggs and so know they laid them. Some scientists have noted a similarity between crocodilians and some pterosaur egg shells so it's possible they could ave buried them in mounds. It's unlikely they would lay them on bare stone..but considering they fly and are safer in high places some sort of nest would make sense..there is also supposedly some evidence for adults caring for young after they hatch much like birds so that would also mean they reqired a safe stable place to do so.

Maybe it was supposed to be a SDCC piece but they couldn't get it finished in time?

That would be my guess. Would be easier to pick up this one than the LSB

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Regardless of it's previous origin..one will be on my shelf.. ;D

Wonder will the next Dinosauria piece will be revealed this month ?

 

[Agent0028]

I don't know but since it is likely to be the stegosaurus I can't wait. I'm using my reward points on it. That's for certain.

What Dinosauria LSB is this of which you speak?

 

[Scar]

Also, head over to the Sideshow site and check out the backstory for the Tupuxuara, penned by yours truly!

 

[Agent0028]

Love the backstory, and it's awesome they asked you to write it. Congrats!

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Well done! You even got the proper wingspan length for T. leonardii.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Awesome work Scar ! I really felt that one..and it makes me want him even more than before.def the desired response... heh heh

 

[Scar]

Glad you fine gents enjoy the backstory! There'll be more to come.

 

[Agent0028]

As in more of this backstory or as in more backstories for other pieces?

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

More for other pieces I should think...unless it's a continuing saga..of pieces.. ;D
