SA8065 PTERANODON ATTACK DIORAMA SCENE RESIN STATUE
1/8 scale diorama scene resin statue

Bring a classic Ray Harryhausen moment to your shelf with Star Ace’s new Pteranodon diorama from the Ray Harryhausen Collection. Standing 22 cm tall and expertly crafted in polyresin, this dramatic scene captures the Pteranodon in mid-flight, wings spread wide as it grips a mini Loana in its talons. A clear support rod suspends the creature above a craggy nest, where two eager hatchlings wait below, amplifying the sense of motion and peril. From the leathery wing textures and sharp claws to the expressive baby Pteranodons and layered rocky base, every detail pays homage to Harryhausen’s legendary stop-motion magic. Striking, cinematic, and meticulously painted, this is a centerpiece diorama that brings vintage adventure roaring to life.
