So Papo makes these beautiful dinosaur models, and the Allosaurus, I feel is really the cream of this radiant crop.
I would like to use it as a mini for my druid, but I worry it would be too big for the three squares by three squares a huge creature takes up.
Does anyone own one of these? Does it work on say, the traditional one-inch by one inch Chessex battlemat?
Sorry for the possibly slightly silly question, but inquiring minds would like to know.

Amazon has it at 23.4 x 11.4 x 9.2 cm
Though I wonder if that is head to tail...
I really just need to know if the feet fit in a 3x3 area.

I stock a lot of Papo and Schleich in my toy store - you should be ok with pretty much any of the dinosaurs fitting in a 3x3.
That is one beautiful model

I use this exact model for wildshaping. It fits very nicely on a square 3"x3" base. The tail and head overhang these dimensions but the feet fit onto the base. The head and tail are high enough so that adjacent monsters/party members can stand next to you just fine. In my experience, players always get a kick out of seeing this guy come into play. As a bonus, the Allosauras has grab and this model has operable jaws so you stuff a mini into its mouth for some extra fun.

Take a look at Toys 'r Us - here in france they have a lot of this figures (Dinosaurs, normal animals, even structures like castle).
I bought a white tiger figure for my girlfriends druid (Large Tiger Companion), works great.
Personally I think the model is too big for what it represents, cool as it may be, but to each their own.
I find that these minis are great for a number of situations, from animals and dinosaurs to their large dragon miniatures which are perfect size for Gargantuan creatures.
Huge 3x3 creature with the head and tail representing a 15ft reach? We will see when it arrives.

Yes. The measurements for that model make it vastly larger than not only comparable "Huge" sized miniatures, but larger than the "Gargantuan" ones as well.
It's dimensions (according to Amazon)are 9.64 inches by 2.36 inches by 4.13 inches.
By comparison, here are the dimensions of a few of the official minis from the different sets:
(I will list the numbers in the format of Length, Width, Height to match the dino stats. All numbers in inches)
Dino Model: (Huge): L: 9.64 W: 2.36 H: 4.13
Rune Giant (Gargantuan): L: 5 (8 if sword is included) W: 3 H: 5.5
Green Dragon (Gargantuan): L: 6 W: 5.25 H: 4
Storm Giant (Huge): L: 4 W: 1.5 H: 4.5
Red Dragon (Huge): L: 5 W: 4.5 H: 3
Svathurim (Huge): L: 4.75 W: 2.75 H: 4.75
Just saying the model in question is more in line with the gargantuan sized minis than the huge ones. And it is not just the feet that are supposed to fit on the base, but the majority of the miniature.
Sure the thing looks cool, but it is most likely scaled a size too large for what you plan it for.

I just need the feet to fit in the 3x3 to have it represent a huge creature on the battlemat (i.e. for game purposes), why should (perhaps there is a reason I am missing?) I care about where the rest of the model goes?
