Sungazer Lizard: Smaug giganteus (previously Cordylus giganteus)

[Scottish Sungazer]

Anyone know if a model of this species exists?

FULL BODY SHOT



HEAD SHOT



TAIL SHOT



If not, any model makers looking for a challenge - if so message me!!

I have a "Chinastore" figure of it, I can get pics?

[Scottish Sungazer]

That would be great - thank you.

[stargatedalek]

my apologies, it seems my parents tossed it in a yard sale bin last weekend (I'm still taking inventory on what else they might have accidentally sold *ggggrrrr*)

[Scottish Sungazer]

That is a real shame.

Can you provide me with as much information as you can please, such as manufacturer and series etc, to help me track it down?

[stargatedalek]

sorry, just "China" written on it, it had a garish bright red and black colour scheme, but it looked very much like that
I think it came from a dollarama, it was sold alongside some other lizards

For what it's worth, I used this species' limbs as models in a fantasy creature I sculpted.

I think I've seen those--if it's the one I'm thinking about I've seen them as part of a set of generic, agama-like lizards. Assuming it is the larger, hollow ones I'm thinking of.

thats probably it, nearly a foot long, hollow, and I think the others in the set were a rather generic iguana and a very chuckwalla reminiscent lizard

Okay, then I know the one. It wouldn't make a good sungazer.

Is it this one (or something similar)?:

[Scottish Sungazer]

Thanks for your help guys.

I am really looking for a good quality / likeness model to use on my S.O.S. (Save Our Sungazers) Campaign Stall. You can find out more information at www.saveoursungazers.com

[stargatedalek]

^yep, those are the lizards, not half bad for what they are

that sounds so cool, best of luck finding one (did you check Morgan Reptile Replicas?)

[Scottish Sungazer]

Yes I have had a look at their web site and they do not do this species.

[stargatedalek]

thats unfortunate

I managed to find one actually labelled as a sungazer, but its, well, uh, see for yourself...

I couldn't find any well detailed high quality ones, sorry

[Scottish Sungazer]

Thanks for your efforts.

Yes, I see what you mean!! 

[sbell]

I'm guessing that if anyone makes/made a convincing one, it would be AAA. Which would mean it will also be really hard to search for.

I found this at Veghead, if you're in the US

I can't be sure if it is a sungazer--the figures are not perfect.

That's been cast from some species of Asian rock agama, Laudakia stellio or another member of that genus. Tyrantqueen reviewed the figure here and I have it, too.
