Meet Spicomellus: A Spiky New Beasts of the Mesozoic Action Figure
Spikes, armor, and plenty of personality—the Beasts of the Mesozoic Spicomellus afer action figure gets its moment in Creative Beast Studio’s video, “The Spikiest Dinosaur EVER, SPICOMELLUS is here!”
The showcase explores the figure’s porcupine-inspired colors, flexible spikes, interchangeable tail tips, and extensive articulation. From the unboxing to the final poses, Spicomellus offers a distinctive addition to a prehistoric collection.
Porcupine-Inspired Colors and Detailed Sculpting
Spicomellus immediately stands out with its dramatic arrangement of spikes and contrasting dark and light markings. Its color designer, Spino Dude, explains in the video that the inspiration came from the prehensile-tailed porcupine.
That influence appears in the prominent banding on the spikes and pink accents around the face and eyes. Paintwork by David Silva brings the design together, highlighting the sculpted scales and giving the small head an expressive appearance.
The combination creates a figure that looks heavily armored while still having plenty of character.
Flexible Spikes Meet Dynamic Articulation
The Spicomellus action figure features pliable spikes that bend, allowing collectors to handle and position its elaborate armor during posing. Articulated sections around the head and body help the spikes move with the figure.
An opening jaw and articulated tongue add expression, while movement through the neck and torso allows Spicomellus to look around, turn, and shift its stance.
The legs feature articulation at the shoulders or hips, elbows or knees, and feet. These joints provide options for grounded standing poses, walking displays, and more dramatic arrangements.
Two Interchangeable Tail Tips
Spicomellus includes two interchangeable tail tips, giving collectors a choice between a larger, more elaborate silhouette and a smaller alternative.
The segmented tail also offers extensive movement. Collectors can adjust it alongside the body and legs to create a coordinated pose or emphasize the figure’s striking outline.
The video demonstrates both tail options, making it easy to compare their appearance before choosing a favorite for your display.
Illustrated Packaging and a ZOIC TCG Card
The presentation continues beyond the figure itself. Packaging artwork by Ralph Ramos provides an illustrated background that can be reused as a display backdrop, while photography by Nutty_Bakaz showcases the figure on the box.
An included collector card features artwork, a figure photograph, and information about Spicomellus. It also works as a token beast card in the ZOIC Trading Card Game.
