Standard models take 20-30 days; fully custom models take 30-60 days depending on size, complexity and movement count. Rush orders can be arranged on request.

How long does an animatronic dinosaur last?

With normal maintenance the anti-UV silicone skin lasts 3-5 years outdoors (8+ years indoors), while the galvanized Q235 steel frame lasts 10+ years. We include a spare-parts kit, offer lifelong replacement parts and a skin-refurbishment service to extend service life.

How do I choose the right animatronic dinosaur manufacturer?

Verify a real factory (not a trading middleman), verifiable international project cases, CE/ISO9001/IP65 certifications, true OEM/ODM customization with 3D previews, transparent pricing and MOQ, global shipping and on-site installation, plus a clear warranty and spare-parts policy. We welcome a live factory video tour or third-party inspection before you order.
