I tried playing with the assembly puzzle 'Mosasaurus restoration puzzle' using 35 kinds of parts that even adults can fully enjoy
From the figure maker Megahouse, a three-dimensional puzzle ' Mosasaurus restoration puzzle ' that you can learn about the skeleton of paleontology while playing has appeared. The more you play with a total of 35 parts, including 3 types of bones, body, and internal organs, the more you can learn about Mosasaurus, so I actually played with it.

The package of 'Mosasaurus Restoration Puzzle' looks like this.
In addition to how to play, the contents of the set are described in detail on the back of the package. In addition, the target age is 6 years old or older.
The contents are parts and Mosasaurus data book (assembly guide). The material of the parts is PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
The parts are the body part of Mosasaurus ......
Built-in
It is divided into bones and 'pedestals with ammonites'.
Some parts are quite small, so be careful not to lose them when opening.
I will actually assemble it referring to the assembly guide. Since the guide describes the skeleton and the position of the built-in in detail like this, it is OK if you assemble while looking at this.
According to the assembly guide, you should assemble the right half, internal organs, left half and bones in that order, so let's start with the right half.
Each part has a hole or a protrusion, so ...
We will connect them together. When you connect it, you will feel a sense of responsiveness, so it feels like 'push' rather than 'insert'.
Next to the tail fin, connect the torso ......
connect the head.
Then with pectoral fins ......
Connect the pectoral fins.
Next, I will put in the internal organs. All of them are similar in shape and it is a little difficult to understand just by looking at them ... ...
Since grooves for putting internal organs are carved in the body parts, it seems to be crispy to some extent. Assemble while checking the assembly guide carefully.
First of all, from the brain and tongue where it is easy to understand where to put it.
Next, insert the lungs, heart, liver, stomach, kidneys, small intestine, and large intestine. How do we know how the internal organs of ancient creatures were made? According to the assembly guide, ``Marine reptiles are vertebrates. You can do it.'
Next, we will assemble the bones, but the order of assembling the bones is also important. If you assemble it with the idea of ``starting with something that is too big for the time being''...
I often forgot to insert small parts such as 'scleral rings (eyes)'. There is no mistake if you assemble the bones from as small parts as possible.
This is what the scleral ring looks like.
Assemble the bones while doing trial and error ......
The left half of the body is also worn.
Finally, if you put a bone in the fin part, the assembly is completed.
After that, attach ammonite to the pedestal ......
It is OK if you put Mosasaurus on it. It is quite unstable, so I try to keep it from shaking by supporting it with the fins.
Looking from the back side it looks like this.
At first glance, the “Mosasaurus Restoration Puzzle” might seem like a toy for children, but it is difficult even for adults to put the 35 different parts in the correct positions, so it turned out to be an educational toy that can be enjoyed through trial and error. As you assemble it, the names and positions of the skeleton and internal organs will come into your head, so after playing with it, you may be more familiar with Mosasaurus than anyone else.
The price of 'Mosasaurus Restoration Puzzle' is 1980 yen including tax and is sold by Megahouse.
In addition, Amazon.co.jp is sold at 1516 yen including tax at the time of article creation.
