Everything Dinosaur team members have posted up a short video reviewing the new Dino Hazard Irritator challengeri dinosaur model and explaining what needs to be done before this figure can be sold legitimately. The first part of the video, which has been posted up on the company’s YouTube channel, looks at the model in more detail and discusses the accessories supplied with it. In the second part of the video, the narrator outlines the product testing required in order to place a dinosaur model on the market.
In Everything Dinosaur’s brief YouTube video (duration 4:48), the narrator discusses the model and then explains the steps required in order to legally sell this figure.
Irritator challengeri
At over 30 centimetres in length, this is an impressive replica of a South American spinosaurid dinosaur. The model has an articulated lower jaw and it is supplied with a lungfish figure and an optional display base. This model, marketed under the brand Dino Hazard stands very well on its own without the use of the base, but if model collectors prefer, the figure can be displayed on its base, although Everything Dinosaur recommends that the model is glued permanently in place when this base is used.

Product Safety Tests
This model has to pass independent product safety tests (submitted for testing in June 2021). A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur stated that a decision as to whether or not to stock this figure would be made by team members once the test report had been received. It was then a question of entering into negotiations with the manufacturer in order to secure this model prior to taking the models from the factory in China.

Hey, Everything Dinosaur.
I rally want you to stock this figurine. It means a lot to me. Buy it and stock it on your website, please.
Please make it cheaper, too.
Thank you for sending the link to the Battat dinosaur model on sale on Ebay for $700 USD. We have worked with the supplier of Battat Terra Nova figures for some time and we suspect that this figure will remain out of production and therefore rare. We would strongly advise our customers to think long and hard before spending $700 USD on a single item, especially if they have no experience of the seller and are looking at an item offered on a sales platform such as Ebay.
Try to secure a limited stock.
We have submitted this product to Eurofins for product testing under the General Product Safety Directive. We hope to have the report on this product soon. Once we have the report and reviewed its recommendations will be taking a decision about whether to stock this item or not. Everything Dinosaur will not place onto the market any product that does not conform to safety standards. We will not put the safety of our customers at risk. The manufacturer of this product has contacted Everything Dinosaur, we will be happy to work with them and to provide what assistance we can to help them bring to the market replicas and figures that meet internationally recognised product safety standards.
