Is this a real complete Dromaeosaurus

I recently saw a listing of a complete Dromaesaurus or some other Dromaesaurid. It is extremely complete, and I've never seen something like it for sale. Is it real?

Well its not Dromaeosaurus that species is only found in North America and is alot bigger.   Might be some type of Microraptor from Liaoning China.   Without any additional info pretty hard to determine what it is off of just photos. 

Is it real, again hard to determine off of just photos.  Lots of replica/cast skeletons are around that look pretty real and require hand examination to determine authenticity.  I will say that if I just look at the maxillary teeth they look very suspicious being so large.   My money is that this is a cast being so well preserved, centered in a nicly cut section of matrix ..

 

This is a cast of the holotype of Microraptor
