PNSO will add a model of the fearsome Carcharodontosaurus to their popular range of mid-size prehistoric animal models. The figure named Gamba the Carcharodontosaurus is scheduled to be available in the summer (2021).
Gamba the Carcharodontosaurus Model
The Carcharodontosaurus is one of several new dinosaur models that PNSO will announce this year. Just like the recently introduced Domingo the Carnotaurus and A-Shu the Qianzhousaurus this replica of a Cretaceous theropod will also have an articulated lower jaw.
Model Measurements and Projected Scale
The model measures just over 29 cm in length and that beautifully sculpted head is a fraction under 10.5 cm off the ground. The length of the model when the curvature of the tail is accounted for is 33 cm.
Based on the first Carcharodontosaurus species to be described (C. saharicus), the model is in approximately 1:40 scale and is comparable in size to the CollectA Deluxe Carcharodontosaurus model that was introduced in 2014.

Supplied with a Transparent Support Stand
Gamba the PNSO Carcharodontosaurus model is superbly detailed and is supplied with a transparent support stand to help support the chest of this substantial dinosaur model.
The Importance of the Kem Kem Formation
The design team at PNSO have introduced models of Spinosaurus as well as Carcharodontosaurus. These figures are their tribute to the Kem Kem Formation of Morocco. The word “Gamba” is Spanish for “prawn” a reference to Spanish Morocco and a nod towards the ancient estuarine palaeo-environment that these large theropods inhabited.
In Stock in the Summer (2021)
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that the production run for this model is due to be completed in the spring and that the figure is likely to be in stock around June or July (2021).

Will Gamba be releasing earlier from other sellers or is it’s release date for everyone in the summer? Thank you!
We are not in a position to comment on what other sellers might say or do. At Everything Dinosaur we anticipate this model will be available from us in the summer. We will want to ensure that we have received product safety certificates and other items before we can import this figure from the factory. As far as we are aware, having direct contact with PNSO, we are happy to put on record that this item will be available from us in the summer. Naturally, as Everything Dinosaur is such an important customer of PNSO, PNSO working closely with us, will do all they can to expediate shipment to us.
Please could you notify me when this becomes available?
Thank you 😊
Hi, No worries we will contact you when Gamba the Carcharodontosaurus comes into stock.
Wish they had done it bigger – like their wonderful Ceratosaur.
The cost of producing really large models is prohibitive, however, PNSO continue to innovate and tomorrow morning we will reveal on this blog the next PNSO replica and this one is not a dinosaur….
