Polacanthus was like Acanthopholis one of the first dinosaurs described. It is known from an almost complete skeleton but the skull is unknown.

The Walking with Dinosaurs ,Polacanthus from Toyway is the finest version of this dinosaur  toy figure. 

Iguanodon was named from its teeth that resembled larger versions of those of modern iguana lizards. It was a herbivore with an elongated horse-like head, rows of grinding teeth, and may have had a long tongue. Its forelimbs were about half to three quarters the length of its hind limbs, and the fingers end in hooves rather than claws, with a large spike on the thumb. It lived in herds near lakes in warm swampy country, and was the biggest, most plentiful and most widespread iguanodontid. It could move quickly if necessary.
