The popular Natural History Museum dinosaur models are being retired. The entire series of Natural History Museum dinosaur figures is now out of production. These dinosaur models were introduced more than twenty years ago. There had been plans to extend the range to include marine reptiles and pterosaurs. However, Everything Dinosaur has been informed that all these figures are now being retired.

When first introduced the range consisted of thirteen items, including two T. rex figures and two box sets. Over the years, the range has been reduced with the Corythosaurus, Iguanodon and the large Tyrannosaurus rex model being withdrawn. Everything Dinosaur team members were aware of the plans to stop production last year, but today, we formally announce that once stocks of these figures have been sold, they will not be replaced.

Megalosaurus Model out of Production
The Natural History Museum Megalosaurus model is also out of production. This year marks the two hundredth anniversary of the scientific description of Megalosaurus (M. bucklandii). However, this important scientific landmark has failed to save this figure. It too is being retired.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that the company had been able to obtain stocks but once these had sold it would not be possible to replace them.
The spokesperson added:
“We have the Megalosaurus, T. rex, Baryonyx, Triceratops, Stegosaurus and the Diplodocus, Kentrosaurus box set, but the Ankylosaurus figure has already sold out. We have not altered our prices just because we know these figures are going be more difficult to obtain. Hopefully, model collectors will have plenty of notice to enable them to complete their model collections.”
It is not known whether the London Natural History Museum intends to introduce a new set of models.
