GALAPAGOS GIANT TORTOISE “DIEGO” MODEL STATUES & LIFE-SIZE BUST

1:35, 1:15–1:18, 1:10 & 1:6 Scale Models | 1:1 Life-Size Bust | Presented by Aphid Studio

Discover the Galapagos Giant Tortoise “Diego” Collection from Aphid Studio, inspired by Diego, the legendary conservation tortoise whose extraordinary breeding contributions played an important role in the recovery of his endangered species.

Widely celebrated as the “Super Dad” of the giant tortoise world, Diego became an iconic figure in wildlife conservation through his remarkable reproductive success.

To ensure scientific accuracy, Aphid Studio invited Lou Zhang from Reptile World to serve as the scientific advisor for this project.

Based on references from the real Diego and scientific research materials, the sculptures aim to faithfully reproduce his distinctive anatomy, body proportions, and individual characteristics.

The scale models were developed with reference to Diego’s approximately 0.9-meter plastron measurement, offering collectors a scientifically informed representation of this remarkable Galapagos giant tortoise.

In addition to the full-body models, Aphid Studio introduces a special 1:1 life-size bust series, designed to showcase Diego’s anatomical features and sculptural details at a larger display size.
