Review: Fabulous, detailed, weighty and large figurine. Fabulous toy for 4 year old. - Fabulous, detailed, weighty and large figurine. Terrific toy for 4 year old.
Review: Excellent model - I've ordered this for my nearly three year old grandson and yes it maybe seems an odd gift for a child that age but he loves his models, he carries some everywhere with him. Why a Saber Tooth? He's obsessed with dinosaurs and saber tooth tigers and has tons of dinosaur models but when asked what he wants for Christmas he replied with "stretchy tiger tooth, grandmas getting one" this was the first grandma had heard of this and since I've never seen one we all assumed he'd move on. He hasn't and weeks later he's still insisting grandma is getting him a stretchy tiger tooth. We've looked everywhere and can't find one so in desperation I've bought this model which he'll love anyway plus a set of stretchy animals which includes a tiger. I'm still looking so if anyone knows where I can get a stretchy saber tooth tiger I would be so grateful. This model looks good and probably deserves better than the care it will get in my grandsons hands but I know he'll love it and that's what counts after all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the jaw move?**
A: Yes, the jaw does move. My Grandson loves Papo dinosaurs because they are so realistic.

**Q: Hello, do the arms and legs move? Thanks**
A: No movement in arms and legs but mouth opens and closes

**Q: Does this come in a branded bag? I’ve got it a plain bag. Doesn’t look new.**
A: The item comes in a clear plastic bag. The only branding is on the manufacturers tag.

**Q: Does this have any moving parts?**
A: The jaw is articulated and Is the only moving part on this Dino. 
The detail and paintwork on this one is fantastic. The only disappointment is that it is a lot smaller than I expected. 
I was expecting it to be a similar kind of size to the papo T Rex but it is more comparable in size to the Schleich Velociraptor.
