After watching a few reviews of this guy, I decided to bite the bullet and get him. I purchased him completed from an Ebay seller, which was actually cheaper than to have purchased all 6 figures in the series and build the figure myself. So let's dive into this Pteronodon / Pterodactyl man.
The first thing I noted is how big this figure is. He's about the same height as my NECA human figures, and with his wide wing span, he's quite a handful. He looks really great. His paint and sculpt are very well done, from the highlights on his wings, chest and beak, to the patterns of his reptilian skin, to the loincloth on his waist (which is removable). Everything about his design is fantastic.
The articulation is quite impressive. His mouth opens very wide, his neck can look up, to the sides and forward a bit, his shoulders are on a ball joint with a hinge, there's an extra hinge in the wing that allows it to fold inward, his claws are hinged as well, his tail can move around and hinge up and down, and his thighs and legs have good range, including almost double jointed knees and ankle swivel and hinge. His upper torso is a bit loose, but I suspect this is due to the heaviness of his wings. You are still able to get him into some great, expressive poses.
Since he's a Build A Figure (BAF), he comes with no accessories, as he is the accessory. You can remove his loin cloth and he can sub as a prehistoric bird monster (though, as you can see in the photo above, he towers over Godzilla 84). He's a really cool figure, and if you like this character, or just like prehistoric monsters in general, he's worth owning.
