Roam the prehistoric world with this realistic Metriacanthosaurus toy! This detailed figurine captures the fearsome appearance and instincts of this Jurassic theropod predator.
The CollectA Metriacanthosaurus measures: 6" L x 2" W x 3" H.
The CollectA Metriacanthosaurus figure is an impressive recreation of this lesser-known Jurassic predator. Sculpted in a dynamic stalking pose, the model conveys motion and tension with its lowered head, extended tail, and muscular body structure. The textured skin detailing and pronounced dorsal spines running along the back give the figure a rugged, lifelike appearance that reflects current interpretations of the animal.
The carefully painted grey coloration with darker striping enhances the realism while drawing attention to the sculpted muscle definition and sharp facial features. Fine detailing in the claws, teeth, and scales adds depth throughout the figure. Whether displayed alongside other theropods or used for educational play, this model offers a strong balance of scientific inspiration and visual appeal.
Metriacanthosaurus was a carnivorous theropod dinosaur that lived during the Middle Jurassic period approximately 165 million years ago. Its fossils were discovered in England, making it one of the important predatory dinosaurs known from Jurassic Europe. The name Metriacanthosaurus means "moderately spined lizard," referring to the distinctive neural spines running along its back.
This dinosaur likely measured around 25 feet in length and was built for active hunting with powerful hind legs, sharp teeth, and strong jaws. Metriacanthosaurus belonged to a group of theropods that helped bridge the evolutionary gap between earlier Jurassic predators and later giant carnivores such as Allosaurus. It would have preyed upon smaller dinosaurs and other animals within its environment.
