Dimetrodon Danger Pack (Epic Evolution): Figure Guide & DNA Scan Code

Family Ties: Closer to You Than to T. rex

Dimetrodon is a synapsid, part of the group that later gave rise to mammals.

Family treeNot a dinosaurDimetrodon

Lived: about 295 to 272 million years agoGroup: synapsid (pelycosaur)Closest living relatives: mammals, including usBefore dinosaurs by: more than 40 million years

Synapsids and reptiles split apart more than 300 million years ago. Dimetrodon sits on the synapsid side, so it shares a more recent ancestor with mammals than with any dinosaur.

One clue is in its skull: a single opening behind each eye, the same arrangement found in mammals.

What Is the Blue and Dimetrodon Pack?

This is a special Danger Pack two-pack in the Epic Evolution line, pairing the film raptor Blue with a Dimetrodon. Like other Danger Pack figures they have movable joints and no sounds or motorised attacks, so no batteries are needed.

It was sold as a two-pack rather than in the numbered Danger Pack waves, so it can be harder to find than single figures.

Is It Worth Buying?

Dimetrodon is a classic prehistoric animal and a great way to show kids that not everything with scales was a dinosaur. Together with Blue, the two-pack is good value. Its DNA code is still to be confirmed.

It came out in 2024 as a Danger Pack two-pack.

About Dimetrodon

Dimetrodon was named in 1878 by Edward Drinker Cope from fossils found in Texas. The name means two-measure teeth, because it had teeth of different sizes.

It lived in the Early Permian, about 295 to 272 million years ago, in what is now the United States and Germany. The largest species reached about 4.6 m long.

Dimetrodon was the top predator of its time, hunting amphibians, fish and other synapsids.
