Product details
Beelzebufo ampiga , an extinct species of ceratopsian frog, emerges as a giant among its kind, a true colossus of the Mesozoic era. Around 70 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous, this formidable amphibian inhabited the lands of what we now know as Madagascar, reigning over its surroundings with an imposing presence.
This one-of-a-kind frog was notable for its exceptional size. Reaching lengths of up to 41 cm and weighing up to 4.5 kilograms, Beelzebufo was undoubtedly the largest frog that ever existed. Its imposing appearance was accentuated by a thick shell and a powerful skull, indicative of a physique adapted for hunting.
Its skull, with a rough vault suggesting the presence of osteoderms, reveals this predator's ability to take on sizable prey. Beelzebufo was a voracious hunter, capable of bringing down everything from small vertebrates to even juvenile dinosaurs with its powerful jaws and teeth.
The discovery of the first fossil fragments in the Maevarano Formation in 1993 marked the beginning of the fascinating journey toward understanding this prehistoric creature. Thanks to the efforts of scientists like David W. Krause, Susan E. Evans, and Marc E.H. Jones, we can now reconstruct part of its skeleton and better understand its place in evolutionary history.
Beelzebufo defies comparison with modern giant frogs. Its size far exceeded that of any contemporary toad or frog, including the Goliath frog and the giant frog of Lake Titicaca. This discrepancy raises questions about biogeography, suggesting a land connection between South America, Madagascar, and possibly Antarctica in the past.

So if you love dinosaurs and animals as much as we do, this is your favorite store to collect and paint them :)
We are authorized distributors of all the replicas and figures we offer. We use 3D printers with 8K - 14K resolution, and high-quality resins with additives to improve hardness and flexibility, thus offering replicas of impeccable quality.
Different scales will be used to make the replicas (depending on the size of the species), although we are open to making other suggested scales upon request as long as they fit in our printing trays, for which you will have to contact us via email and request the required size.
Replicas are supplied with the option of airbrush priming in dark grey. If you require another colour, please let us know which one you prefer in the box with special instructions for the seller. Without priming, we do not guarantee that the resin will accept paint.
We also offer the option of choosing a professionally painted replica, which is agreed upon throughout its development with the painter, through a private chat available.
Complete replica (one piece): We supply complete replicas in those models that are small, and models that are medium, large or not very bulky, will have the prerogative of being presented as a complete replica or assembly kit as the case may be.
Complete replicas will be supplied separately from their base.
Replica assembly kit: We supply replicas whose models are large, very large or bulky, only with this option.
The indicated replicas (generally composed of base, head, body and tail) will come prepared for the subsequent assembly that will be required by the client, by sanding, putty, adhesive or technique chosen by the client.
All replicas are thoroughly inspected before shipping and will be carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport.
Information about the models
The poses of the models aim to represent each character in the most scientifically viable way, thus revealing the life and customs of prehistoric and modern fauna.
Each character has its own personality and develops in different life scenarios; birth, adolescence and play, hunting, feeding, fighting, courtship, death and many other scenes from their daily life, always from the creative perspective of their designers.
Handmade
All orders are individually prepared on the cutter for subsequent prototyping, obtaining a resin part that will require post-processing by manual and ultrasonic cleaning, support removal, ultraviolet curing, labeling and packaging.
We are authorized distributors
We offer both our own physical replicas and those that have been modeled by many of the best 3D designers, in order to offer you the greatest possible variety.
