Classification: Reptilia/Pterosauria/Dimorphodontidae
Size: Total length1meters
Period: Early Jurassic
A small pterosaur that lived during the Early Jurassic. Its large head had a beak lined with two types of teeth—large and small—which inspired its name. Jaw shape, tooth analysis, and its limited flying ability suggest it may have preyed on fish, insects, and small vertebrates. Although its wings were small for a pterosaur, its limbs were well developed. It may have climbed to high places and used its claws to cling to trees or cliffs before gliding down onto prey.
Interview with Supervisor Kazunari Araki
- Dimorphodon has long been familiar to dinosaur and prehistoric life enthusiasts and became even more widely known after appearing in films. It has joined the Soft Model series. What are your impressions of Dimorphodon?
- Dimorphodon is a familiar pterosaur, appearing even in Zdeněk Burian’s illustrated books from the 1960s. I actually remember making one for Kaiyodo’s mini figure series about 40 years ago (laughs).
It also appeared in Jurassic World and has been made into toys, so younger people may know it better than Rhamphorhynchus. - Dimorphodon

- What kind of image did you have in mind when sculpting the poses and bases?
- As with the other pterosaur figures, I chose a pose suggesting relaxed flight. The base similarly represents rocky terrain.

- Finally,Dimorphodon About the Soft ModelPlease share your comments.。
- Dimorphodon is a pterosaur with a large head and a somewhat endearing appearance, and it has joined Favorite’s collection. Collect the dinosaurs of the land, ichthyosaurs of the sea, and pterosaurs of the sky—and welcome Dimorphodon as it flies through the Jurassic skies!
* Rhamphorhynchus — Pterosauria/Rhamphorhynchoidea/Rhamphorhynchidae
A small pterosaur that lived around the world during the Jurassic. Like Dimorphodon, it has been known since early studies of prehistoric life.
