Next additions to Sideshow’s Dinosauria By Gracie Bifulco Sideshow is proud to present the next two additions to the Dinosauria collection, the Apatosaurus and Carnotaurus Statues. Apatosaurus Statue Formerly, and perhaps more famously known as Brontosaurus, the Apatosaurus was one of the first sauropods ever discovered. A longtime favorite among children and adults alike, the widely recognized dinosaur was also the first ever to appear in an animated cartoon (1914’s Gertie the Dinosaur), and has since graced the silver screen in countless films. Designed with the insight of renowned paleoartists, Sideshow’s Apatosaurus Statue brings the popular long-necked giant to life with intricately sculpted details and a striking banded pattern. [store-items skus=”2001343″] Carnotaurus Statue A strange, yet dangerous carnivore from the Cretaceous Period, Carnotaurus is one of South America’s most famous dinosaur discoveries. With a name that means “flesh-eating bull,” the Carnotaurus is distinguished by his muscular build, small stubby arms and bull-like horns above its brow. Thought to have been able to reach high running speeds, the Carnotaurus Statue captures the raw power and agility of the predator as it lurches into an aggressive attack.
