3D model description
Bronto Thunder is the undisputed powerhouse—the largest and physically strongest member of the Dinosaucers. Often serving as the reliable second-in-command when Allo is away from the Lava Dome, this gentle giant balances immense destructive potential with deep loyalty to his team. Back on Reptilon, he was just an ordinary guy working as a sales representative for a ceramic tile shop—and thinking about his girlfriend, Apatty Saurus—but on Earth, he is a force of nature. When he Dinovolves into his massive, 80-foot Apatosaurus form, he becomes an unstoppable asset, capable of clearing inaccessible terrain for his comrades or crushing any Tyranno obstacle in his path.
This model has been specifically designed and sculpted to capture the essence of the Dinosaucers’ heavy hitter from the ’80s animated series. Unlike the vintage concepts of that era, this version is based directly on the original cartoon design, achieving an incredible, screen-accurate likeness to the heroic giant we saw on screen.
It is a must-have piece for dinosaur enthusiasts and collectors of ’80s nostalgia. What makes this model stand out is the way its massive, powerful anatomy has been translated into a solid, display-ready figure. Despite its colossal proportions, the model is engineered with perfect balance and stability, capturing its proud, heroic, and imposing stance.
This is part of my ongoing series of 16 models that I am uploading week by week. Each new model is perfectly to scale with the others (such as Allo, Teryx, and his massive rival Genghis Rex), ensuring that the proportions remain accurate to the show’s original height charts.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Material Recommendation
For this model, the use of ABS-Like Resin is strongly recommended. Please avoid using standard resin; large pieces can become very brittle and prone to cracking under their own weight. ABS-like resin provides the necessary structural durability and impact resistance so that if the figure accidentally falls, it won’t shatter into a thousand pieces.
Technical Details:
Machine Type: Resin Printer (SLA/MSLA).
Original Dimensions (100% Scale): 34 cm in height and 23 cm from snout to tail (Note: Adjust these dimensions if, due to the long neck, the actual height/length of the file varies.).
Material Consumption: Approximately 800 cc of resin at full scale.
Scale Recommendation: This is a massive model. If you wish to optimize material usage, I recommend printing at 80%, though at 100% scale, its volume looks truly impressive on the shelf.
Supports: Requires standard “Medium” supports optimized for resin (Chitubox defaults work perfectly; nothing out of the ordinary).
Wall Thickness: 3.00 mm
Post-processing: Once printed, uniform curing is recommended to ensure the long-term stability of the pose and prevent warping in the neck and tail areas.
