Description
This realistic horned lizard toy is moulded in thermoplastic rubber and made to look remarkably like the real reptile. Its flat, wide body is covered in knobbly scales, with a crown of pointed horns around the head and a fringe of small spines along each side. The colouring is a creamy pale yellow banded with deep red across the back, legs and tail, and the whole lizard is flecked with tiny dark speckles. It measures 15cm long, 8cm wide and 3.2cm high, so it sits low and flat, legs splayed, like a lizard basking on a warm rock.
As a toy, it is made for play: lining it up with other animal figures, sending it creeping across the kitchen table, or leaving it somewhere unexpected to give the household a start. It is lifelike enough to earn a place on a desk, a bookshelf or a nature table too, where the horns and speckles reward a closer look. At just 0.029KG it is very light, so it slips easily into a bag for days out, and it makes a fun little gift with plenty of character for anyone who likes their wildlife harmless.
Thermoplastic rubber gives it a pleasingly rubbery feel, and the detail is moulded right into the surface, from the tiny toes on each foot to the bumpy scales along the tail. To keep it looking its best, wipe it over with a damp cloth when it needs a clean and let it dry naturally. We like it set on a windowsill among potted plants for a quietly comic touch, or perched on the edge of a shelf, where it looks ready to scurry off at any moment. Tuck it into a gift box or wrap it in tissue and it makes a cheerful little present.
