Lora,

You mean Skippy the Kangaroo?  :)

No, I know what you mean -- _Scipionyx samniticus_, a
juvenile *whatever-the-hell-it-is.*

I know the dinosaur model market fairly well, and I
really don't think that was made for sale -- it is a
highly realistic (although, apparently, fairly
inaccurate) museum display piece -- a one-off for
display in a museum.  But I'd love to hear accurate
info to the contrary.
