This was selected as the technically most accurate Microraptor figure. The “toe claw” on the foot was one of the most accurate. The feather textures were varied between the wings, legs, and body. The pose is dynamic and looks like it could be in attack mode. The feathers had an iridescent shine to them which is consistent with the fossil record of the Microraptor. Overall a technically accurate and good looking model.
This is also a very technically correct Microraptor figure. The “toe claw” on the foot is accurate and well textured. The feather textures were varied between the wings, legs, and body. The pose is one of the most dynamic and looks like it could be landing on a tree branch. The feathers had an iridescent shine to them which is consistent with the fossil record of the Microraptor and have a great variety of colors with blacks, blues, and purples. The purple crest is a nice touch. Overall a technically accurate and good looking model.
This is a mini version Microraptor but still has lots of great details. Nice, varied feather textures on one the body. Bright yellow crest really pops and carries thru to the yellow patch under the neck. Feet are not painted separately. Makes a great companion to the larger sized PNSO Microraptor.
This is an adult Microraptor model – but is smaller than the other adult figure – but still a good sized. Deep black coloring is offset by bright yellow claws and beak. Toe claw is present and nice feather textures throughout the body. Feathers are flat black which is technically not correct, but overall a good figure for the price.
