Commenting on the reception the Tyrannosaurus rex figure has received, Sue from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“We have tried to create a model of this iconic theropod based on the fossil evidence. It has been a real labour of love and very much a team effort.  All the kind comments and positive feedback we have received means so much to everyone involved in its production.”

Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex – Following the Fossil Evidence

The 1:33 scale Tyrannosaurus rex is supplied with a carefully designed display base representing a dried-up water source in the Late Cretaceous Hell Creek landscape. Even the cracks in the ground have been individually sculpted.  Palaeontologists consider the strata associated with the Hell Creek Formation to represent a highly seasonal environment.  For example, there was a wet season and an extensive dry season. Water courses would have been affected by this palaeoenvironment.  Small ponds and other water sources were ephemeral. However, amongst these details are features directly inspired by the fossil record.

Three-toed theropod tracks have been incorporated into the base. These footprints were modelled using genuine tyrannosaur tracks as a reference. They are not simply decorative additions. Fossil footprints are trace fossils and can provide palaeontologists with valuable evidence about how extinct animals moved and behaved.

Intriguingly, recent research into Tyrannosaurus foot function provides further support for the way the tracks were reconstructed. The deeper impressions associated with the toes rather than the heel are consistent with evidence indicating a more bird-like footfall in Tyrannosaurus.

More Evidence Associated with the Display Base

The attention to detail does not stop with the footprints. A replica coprolite – fossilised dung – has also been incorporated into the display. This feature was based on large coprolites from deposits containing Tyrannosaurus rex fossils.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We wanted the fossil evidence to influence every aspect of our T. rex, not just the dinosaur itself. The tracks, dried lakebed and even the coprolite on the display base help tell the story of a real animal that lived more than 66 million years ago. For us, these details are an important part of bringing palaeontology to life.”

The advertisement prepared for issue 159 of “Prehistoric Times” provides another opportunity to showcase the philosophy behind Everything Dinosaur Evolution. Scientific accuracy extends beyond the dinosaur itself. The landscape, tracks and even the dinosaur dung help tell the story.

For Everything Dinosaur Evolution, following the fossil evidence really does mean following in the footsteps of Tyrannosaurus rex.

A New Chapter for Everything Dinosaur

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution range represents a new direction for our company. We worked closely with renowned palaeontologist Dr Dean Lomax, digital sculptor Glen Southern and acclaimed palaeo-reconstruction artist Bob Nicholls. Together, the team created a scientifically accurate Tyrannosaurus rex based on the latest research and the fossil record.

Furthermore, the model captures the anatomy, proportions and soft tissue details expected from a premium collectible. Every feature reflects our commitment to combining science with outstanding craftsmanship.

Our dinosaur model is photographed and also the box art is featured.

The First Model in the Hell Creek Series

The Hell Creek series celebrates one of the world’s most famous Late Cretaceous ecosystems. The Everything Dinosaur Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex is the first release in this exciting collection.

We are delighted that “Prehistoric Times” magazine has recognised the quality of the model. We would also like to thank the magazine for featuring it alongside the latest PNSO figures.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Our sincere thanks go to everyone who has supported the launch of the Evolution range. We look forward to revealing more models in the series soon.”

We came across this enquiry – is Everything Dinosaur Evolution a good brand?  That’s a great question!  Hopefully, our thousands of customers will be happy to endorse us and what we do.  However, let’s dig a little deeper, after all Everything Dinosaur Evolution was only launched a few months ago.

Everything Dinosaur have launched their own range of scientifically accurate prehistoric animal models under the brand name Everything Dinosaur Evolution.

A Natural Evolution of a Trusted Brand

Everything Dinosaur Evolution builds directly on the reputation of Everything Dinosaur. However, it takes things a step further. This sub-brand focuses on original, museum-quality prehistoric animal models. Scientifically accurate models that are designed and developed in the UK.  Furthermore, each figure forms part of a series of four.  They represent contemporary fauna from a famous geological formation.  For example, the first model – Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex is from the Hell Creek Formation series.

To view the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range: Everything Dinosaur Evolution.

Importantly, these are not typical dinosaur figures. Instead, they are carefully crafted display pieces aimed at collectors and enthusiasts. As a result, the brand positions itself firmly in the premium segment.

Designs that Follow the Scientific Evidence

One of the biggest strengths of Everything Dinosaur Evolution is its commitment to accuracy. Each model is developed using the latest palaeontological research. Therefore, scientific credibility sits at the heart of the brand. Each model takes a long time to bring into production.  The design and development process is intense; every little detail is gone into. For example, the debut Tyrannosaurus rex model reflects modern interpretations of anatomy and posture. In addition, the use of a consistent scale, such as 1:33, highlights a serious and research-driven approach.

Another key component is collaboration. The development of the first figure took several years. Moreover, it involved a team of experts, including palaeontologists and professional artists. This collaborative process helps ensure both accuracy and artistic quality. Consequently, the final product feels both scientifically grounded and visually striking.

A Premium Collector Experience

Everything Dinosaur Evolution is clearly aimed at collectors. The models are presented as limited-edition pieces with premium packaging. Furthermore, additional items such as artwork and collector cards enhance the overall experience. Because of this, the brand appeals to those seeking more than just a model. Instead, it offers a complete collectible package.  Moreover, collectors can have direct contact with the manufacturers. In addition, collectors have a say in which models get made.

Positive Early Feedback

Early reactions to Everything Dinosaur Evolution have been very encouraging. Collectors have praised the level of detail and the scientific accuracy. In particular, the first release has generated strong interest within the community. This positive reception suggests that the brand has made a strong first impression.

So, Is Everything Dinosaur Evolution a Good Brand?

In short, yes. Everything Dinosaur Evolution appears to be a very good brand. It combines scientific accuracy, expert collaboration, and premium design. Moreover, it successfully targets a niche audience of collectors and enthusiasts. While still relatively new, the foundations are extremely strong. Therefore, Everything Dinosaur Evolution looks set to become a respected name in prehistoric animal models.

Final thought: If you value accuracy, detail, and authenticity, this is certainly a brand worth watching.

Our thanks to talented artist Juan Plata who sent into us a wonderful illustration of the Everything Dinosaur Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex.  The illustration depicts the theropod looking at a small turtle that is basking on a rock.  The dinosaur leaves footprints in the soft sediment.  Perhaps these tracks will be preserved as fossils and discovered some sixty-six million years later.

Walking along the shores of a lake, T. rex notices a turtle coming out of the water to rest on a rock. It will not eat it, but it is curious about it. The turtle is based on a recent find in the Hell Creek Formation, specifically a baenid turtle called Saxochelys gilberti. Picture credit: Juan Plata.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented on the impressive illustration and stated that he was honoured to have the chance to add this beautiful drawing to their dinosaur’s digital product passport.

He added:

“I shared Juan’s artwork with Bob, Dean and Glen.  They were all amazed and delighted.”

A Baenid Turtle

The uppermost Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Hell Creek Formation in North America has yielded a diverse assemblage of fossil turtles.  More than twenty-five taxa have been named.  Most of the taxa have been assigned to the now extinct Baenidae family. Juan has included a baenid turtle (S. gilberti) in the illustration.  These turtles were common in Laramidia, and it is very likely that Tyrannosaurus rex encountered these reptiles.  The species in the drawing Saxochelys gilberti was named and described in 2019 (Lyson, Sayler and Joyce).

Our Everything Dinosaur Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex towers over the freshwater turtle.  However, T. rex and the rest of the non-avian dinosaurs were soon to become extinct. In contrast, a turtle fossil assigned to Saxochelys gilberti was recovered from above the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary layer.  This suggests that this baenid turtle species survived the end-Cretaceous extinction event persisting into the Palaeocene.

Our thanks to Juan, it is a beautiful illustration.

Everything Dinosaur is on a mission to improve its sustainable logistics.  Trying to change the dinosaur model industry one dinosaur model at a time, is more than just a strapline. Sue and I are working towards becoming more responsible manufacturers.  For example, we use recyclable cardboard pallets for our Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex model.  Traditional wooden pallets are not used for our first dinosaur model in the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range.  Instead, we have invested in pallets made from recycled cardboard.  In turn, our pallets can be recycled.

We are helping to reduce waste and doing our bit for the circular economy.

Using Recyclable Cardboard Pallets

The cardboard pallets are an innovation.  Having already removed single use plastic from the product packaging, they demonstrate our continued commitment to being a responsible manufacturer. Buying a detailed, museum-quality dinosaur model need not cost the Earth.  The pallets are cleaner, environmentally friendly and they are lighter.  In addition, they are much easier to handle than traditional wooden pallets.

These pallets reflect how carefully we have considered all aspects of the Everything Dinosaur Evolution brand.

To view the Everything Dinosaur Evolution dinosaurs: Everything Dinosaur Evolution.

Customers expect responsible packaging. Therefore, we continue to review every part of our supply chain. Cardboard pallets help us reduce waste. They also reduce our carbon footprint during transport. Because they weigh less, they require less fuel. This change supports our long-term commitment to eco-friendly shipping.  We have a long way to go, but we have made a start.

As the pallets weigh less, there is less chance of injury when moving or lifting a pallet.

Demonstrating our Recyclable Cardboard Pallets

We have created a short video highlighting our use of these innovative pallets for our own product range.  Sue from Everything Dinosaur demonstrates how light, but sturdy these pallets are. Viewers can see that the pallets are strong and robust. They support heavy loads with ease. Yet, they remain simple to recycle after use.  Moreover, they once again reflect how we are trying to change the model making industry.

Our short video is available on the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel: Dinosaur Model Videos from Everything Dinosaur.

Sue, our pallet juggler, explained:

“We will keep exploring more sustainable options. It’s important for our own product range. Step by step, we aim to make our packaging even greener. As a UK-based mail order company with a global reach, we recognise our responsibility. Sustainable practices matter. They help protect the planet and it is all about doing the right thing.”

Today, we focus on the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex display base. For us, the display base is just as important as the dinosaur model.  As much thought and care has gone into the design of the display base as went into the 1:33 scale Tyrannosaurus rex figure.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur explained that the plan was to develop a community of prehistoric animal figures.

He stated:

“It’s a community of dinosaur models for the model collecting community and that base complete with scientifically accurate tyrannosaur tracks and T. rex poo has amazing detail. Join the Evolution!”

Team members collated Everything Dinosaur Evolution customer feedback after the introduction of the first model.  With the arrival of EDE001, a 1:33 scale figure of Tyrannosaurus rex, we were keen to get feedback, especially as the model had been nominated for an award.  The model has taken more than three years to develop.  It has involved Everything Dinosaur working with many institutions, organisations and individuals.  Intriguingly, our T. rex project was nominated for an “Excellence in Collaboration” award by our local Chamber of Commerce.

As the award ceremony approaches, we want to share some of the comments received with our collaborators.  We compiled a list of the comments, feedback and reviews.  There are a lot of reviews for this model, after all, it is widely regarded as one of the most scientifically accurate dinosaur models ever produced.
