Product details

Product description and measurements

Microraptor gui was a small theropod dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, approximately 120 million years ago, in what is now China. This dinosaur is especially famous for its impressive plumage and for being one of the clearest examples of the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds. Its name means "little thief," and the species "gui" was given in honor of the Chinese paleontologist Gu Zhiwei.

Microraptor gui measured about 77 centimeters long and weighed less than one kilogram, making it an extremely small and agile dinosaur. Its body was covered in long, well-developed feathers, not only on its arms and tail, like modern birds, but also on its hind legs, giving it a "four-winged dinosaur" appearance. This unique arrangement suggests it may have glided through trees, using its limbs as lifting surfaces, although it has also been proposed that it was capable of short flights or controlled glides.

One of the most notable features of Microraptor gui is its long, stiff, feathered tail, which likely served as a rudder to stabilize itself in the air. Its lightweight skeleton, curved claws, and long toes indicate that it was an arboreal animal, adapted to climbing and moving between branches. Furthermore, its sharp, backward-curving teeth indicate that it was carnivorous, probably feeding on small vertebrates, insects, or even fish, as suggested by fossil remains showing a fish in its stomach.

The discovery of Microraptor gui was instrumental in supporting the theory that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs. Its excellent state of preservation, with detailed feather impressions, has provided scientists with a rare window into the study of the evolution of flight and plumage in dinosaurs. Its discovery in the Jiufotang Formation, a fossil-rich area in northeastern China, has significantly contributed to our understanding of Cretaceous ecosystems and the emergence of the first aerial dinosaurs.

      Collector's item ; Hyper-realistic replica, highly detailed and with a high degree of scientific precision.

      Made to scale, prototyped in resin and with a scenic base in most of the models offered. If you like miniatures, both for collecting and for painting, we offer you a wide variety of scale replicas; All of them related to dinosaurs, extinct prehistoric fauna and current fauna.

      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.
