I want to talk accuracy on these, because that is one of the downsides to it. It’s colours match the male, sans the face. The pose is staring at the ground, perhaps looking for food or preparing for something else (what that is, I’ll leave to your imagination!) She is smaller, at 1.4″ high and 1.6″ from beak to tail feathers. This makes sense that a female might have duller colours than males, who need to display to the females. To show a form of sexual dimorphism (and better tell which is which) by a grey beak and face. Colouration is that of this is classic Dodo depiction, grey and white feathers, as opposed to the more modern and accurate darker colours, with a yellow face. Standing 1.8″ high and 1.4″ from beak to tail feathers. A little underwhelming a pose, but does well enough. Dylan stands in an erect posture, looking out to see what’s happening. Since there are two figures, I’ll look at each in turn, starting with the male, Dylan. The Noah’s Pals produced a pair as part of their line, showing the consequences of not having conservation. Then man came along and introduced new predators, ones that Dodo’s lacked, and soon they were gone from their native lands, never to return. From the island of Mauritius, these flightless pigeons roamed the land, eating fruit and shellfish and lacking fear. If something is “as dead as a Dodo”, it is very dead, gone forever, reflecting on the fate of said animal, the Dodo.
