With the arrival of the new for 2024 Beasts of the Mesozoic Achillobator giganticus figure, team members at Everything Dinosaur took the opportunity to create a short video.  The very first series of these articulated dinosaur figures featured dromaeosaurids.  It is wonderful to see new members of the Dromaeosauridae added to this range.  Achillobator (A. giganticus) is the largest known dromaeosaur from Asia.  Our YouTube short highlights the figure, shows the packaging and mentions our free Achillobator fact sheet that is sent out to our customers.

The video is under thirty seconds in length.  It begins with Mike from Everything Dinosaur sitting in the company’s huge warehouse surrounded by boxes of dinosaur models.  Views of the Achillobator and its packaging are provided.  This YouTube short concludes with Mike holding the free Achillobator giganticus fact sheet that is supplied with purchases.

The Achillobator giganticus Figure

Scientifically described in 1999 (Perle et al), Achillobator represents the first and largest dromaeosaurid known from the Bayan Shireh Formation of Mongolia.  Not all the skeleton is known.  However, based on the holotype and subsequent fossil discoveries, this theropod measured around five metres in length.  It was robustly built and probably weighed in excess of three hundred kilograms.  That is heavier than a male Siberian tiger, one of the largest and most formidable terrestrial carnivores around today!

An Impressive Articulated Theropod Model

The Beasts of the Mesozoic Achillobator giganticus figure is articulated. It has twenty-three points of articulation, permitting the model to be displayed in a variety of poses. The Achillobator is supplied with interchangeable feet, a flexible tail and a display base. The Beasts of the Mesozoic Achillobator giganticus includes posing rod accessories and a clear, plastic display base. We were most impressed with the artwork on the packaging. The illustrations are stunning.

It measures thirty-eight centimetres in length (approximately fifteen inches). The model has a declared scale of 1:18.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur congratulated the design team and praised their efforts stating:

“The model is beautiful and extremely detailed.  The colour scheme for this Late Cretaceous predator model was inspired by the extant California condor.”
