The Mosasaurus 1899 is based on an 1899 restoration illustration, reproducing mane-like scales from the back of the head to the tail and a straight tail, as interpreted at the time. The Iguanodon is based on a complete skeleton discovered in the 1870s, depicting the dinosaur standing like a kangaroo and dragging its tail. Both kits are non-scale and include a name seal and base. The PlanoSaurus series uses a touch gate system, allowing parts to be popped off the runner without nippers, and snap-fit assembly, so no adhesive is needed. Each model features a Skeleton Build, where joints are movable, and a Dinosaur Build, where skin parts attach over the skeleton. The Mosasaurus 1899 has an opening and closing mouth and movable fins and tail for swimming poses. The Iguanodon has a movable mouth, neck, limbs, and tail for varied display. The Mosasaurus 1899 is priced at 1,980 yen, and the Iguanodon at 1,925 yen, both tax included.","whyItMatters":"The Mosasaurus 1899 reflects a historical restoration, offering a model that captures an outdated scientific interpretation, which adds a unique educational angle to the series.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBANDAI SPIRITS is adding two new kits to its PlanoSaurus Gachikoseibutsu-bu series, both scheduled for release on August 1, 2026.
