PLANNOSAURUS is Bandai Hobby’s original “learn-by-building” dinosaur brand, launched in 2023, that lets builders understand dinosaur anatomy by assembling both internal skeletons (Skeletal Build) and external skin parts (Dinosaur Build). The series is designed for ages 6+ with strong appeal to families, dinosaur fans, and hobby users, and features snap-fit construction that does not require nippers or glue.

Key product features:

• Educational dual-build system: Internal skeleton plus external skin assembly helps children learn about real dinosaur structure and how scientific theories have changed over time, including historically accurate 1899 and 1915-style reconstructions.
• Tool-free snap-fit: No nippers and no glue required, ideal for first-time builders, kids’ workshops, and family activities.
• Articulated display: Poseable jaw, neck, limbs, and tail on many items, with options to display skeleton-only or fully skinned modes.
• New molding expression: Select versions use a special flake-infused molding (“mineral injection”) to represent environmental effects such as snow on the dinosaur body surface.
