PNSO to Introduce New Version of T. rex “Wilson”
PNSO are going to introduce a new version of the Tyrannosaurus rex replica known as “Wilson”. This beautifully crafted model, which is based on a real T. rex fossil specimen discovered by the famous American palaeontologist Barnum Brown, will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in 2021.
The New PNSO “Wilson” the Tyrannosaurus rex Model
Based on AMNH-5027
The new Tyrannosaurus rex figure is based on the first, substantial skeleton of this iconic theropod dinosaur to be reconstructed and mounted for display. The fossil specimen (AMNH-5027), consists of an almost complete skull (the first virtually complete T. rex skull to have been discovered), the pelvis, rib cage and a nearly complete vertebral column, including cervical vertebrae that proved that this dinosaur had a relatively short neck. In total, about 45% of the skeleton was recovered and this famous fossil is on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

A Replica with a Deeper Chest
As this figure is based on fossil material the design team at PNSO have been very keen to get the body proportions correct. The chest is much deeper and as a result, the arms look disproportionately much smaller. The powerful and muscular legs that would have provided adequate support for the living animal are not quite up to the job when it comes to this new model. In order to keep the feet anatomically correct, the model is supported by a transparent rod which helps to prop up the chest.

A 1:35 Scale Model of Tyrannosaurus rex
The new PNSO “Wilson” the Tyrannosaurus rex measures around 34.5 cm long and it has a declared scale of 1:35. The head stands 12.9 cm high and this beautifully designed dinosaur model is going to tick all the boxes for collectors who like their figures to represent real animals recorded in the fossil record.

Recognising the Importance of the Hell Creek Formation
With the introduction of “Sede” the Ankylosaurus, “Doyle” the Triceratops and “Wilson” the Tyrannosaurus rex, PNSO are recognising the significance of the famous Hell Creek Formation. All three of these iconic dinosaurs have been reported from the Hell Creek Formation, although Ankylosaurus fossil material is exceptionally rare when compared to the Ceratopsidae and tyrannosaurids.

Absolutely beautiful, I hope I can pick this one up!
So you are saying the legs are wrong ?
At last I have met the actual creature. My childhood dream. I am overwhelmed. The AMNH 5027 in flesh and skin. Some have reported about over sized scales. But after a keen study and showing the sculpting details by the artist himself I can conclude that the scales are most scientifically restored in this model based on skin impressions of this creature or its relatives in various body parts with scale variations.
There is no doubt that I shall be glad to have this figure in my collection. Really a life like T. rex figure which seems that a real creature is frozen in plastic. Brilliant sculpt indeed!

I’m just a hobbyist collector, but this looks the most anatomically correct T-rex figure I’ve ever seen. Great textures, tiny arms, proportional legs, and it looks like a real animal and not an evil cartoon character. It doesn’t have feathers though… but it surely surpasses the most recent versions from all major brands! I’d like to reserve one if possible
