Polacanthus (Papo)

The Papo Polacanthus figure captures the essence of Polacanthus with its low-slung, tank-like body covered in rows of spiked armor. The back is adorned with thick spikes and nodules, providing the dinosaur with substantial protection from predators.

The head of the figure is sculpted with detail, showing the small but sturdy skull, and the mouth is slightly open, suggesting readiness for feeding. Its limbs are strong and muscular, ending in short, robust feet that indicate the Polacanthus was a slow but steady mover. The thick tail is covered with spikes and hints at the defensive role it played in the dinosaur’s survival. 

The Papo Polacanthus measures approximately in inches:
7 L x 2.3 H.

Polacanthus, deriving its name from the Ancient Greek polys- "many" and akantha"thorn" or "prickle", is an early armoured, spiked, plant-eating ankylosaurian dinosaur from the early Cretaceous period of England. Polacanthus was a medium sized ankylosaur with long hindlimbs and man horns and scutes to protect it from carnivors. Polacanthus was a quadrupedal ornithischian or "bird-hipped" dinosaur. It lived 130 to 125 million years ago in what is now western Europe. Polacanthus was a medium-sized ankylosaur. In 2010, Gregory S. Paul estimated its length at 16 ft, its weight at 2 tons.
