Collecta’s Torvosaurus gurneyi.
Is a world first in the model world of Portugal and Europe’s s premier super theropod.
Released in 2016 in their 1/40 scale Deluxe collection just two years after first being named and descripted to the world.
The head sculpt is top notch just what we want from our Megalosauridae models.
Nice dark eyes typical that just sets off the head and great ear opening and nice teeth and mouth sculpt.
Great body length and neck held in a natural position.
I really like the tail even tho a tad long but nothing to detract from this great sculpt.
Strong arms and great powerful set of hands and claws just right in the living animal to hold down prey of fight a rival.
A fine set of legs that gives the aspect of fleet footed beast of prey and with claws to climb upon what ever it wished dine upon.
A fine little detail is the dew claws.
A nice touch is the spinal spikes it is these touches that set off the figure.
Collecta decided upon and light green with dark stripes a colour combo that looks natural for a big animal that would have been at times an ambush predator waiting hidden a long the ancient game trails of Portugal.
Collecta’s Torvosaurus gurneyi is must for all be it the European Dino collectors or Megalosauridae Fans a great addition to any serious collection.
May I take moment to thank Sue & Mike and the entire team at Every Thing Dinosaur on behalf of all that know this Greatest of Great companies for all they have done for the entire community during these testing times.
WE THANKS YOU ALL FOR BEING WHO ARE AND THAT IS EVERYTHING DINOSAUR.

Paleo Paul –
Just great that CollectA have produced an accurate model of this Megalsaurid. The model captures the dynamic profile with panache, and in particular the head and snout region are beautifully replicated. Just love the black and red banding over the nose and how the teeth have been depicted. The base in nicely done also and gives great scope for developing into a diorama. Truly an exciting model. I think i may just buy another one. Treat yourself to this if you can. Excellent!
