Our thanks to model collector William who sent into Everything Dinosaur a review of a recent purchase.  William reviewed the Beasts of the Mesozoic Albertosaurus sarcophagus figure.  The reviewer briefly outlined some aspects of tyrannosaur evolution.  He explained that during the Campanian faunal stage of the Cretaceous the Albertosaurinae took a more fleet footed path of predation than the heavier, southern Tyrannosaurinae.  Albertosaurus is estimated to have weighed around three tonnes.  It measured approximately nine metres in length.

William commented that as with all the Beasts of the Mesozoic figures, the model has a high specification.  The stunning paint scheme for the model was inspired by the extant Australian Eastern Water Dragon (Intellagama lesueurii).

The length of the figure was confirmed to be twenty inches (over fifty centimetres long).  A collector’s card and the box art were created by renowned palaeoartist Raph Lomotan.

The reviewer opined:

“With a marvellous twenty-two points of articulation from snout to tail tip and extra legs and feet.  In addition, there is a detailed sculpted and painted base.”

William concluded his dinosaur model review by stating that Albertosaurus sarcophagus figures were truly rare.  Collectors have a once in a lifetime opportunity to add a 1:18 scale Albertosaurus model to their collection.

He added:

“It is the best version in 1:18 scale that you will ever see!”

William dedicated his final comments in this review to Everything Dinosaur.  He thanked the team and stated that dinosaur model collectors value the team’s efforts.  The company undertakes tireless efforts to source stock and to deliver it to the front door of customers.  Products have safety tests and certificates, and this helps give collectors confidence about new ranges and figures.

Discussing the company’s very competitive pricing he explained:

“A very good price range for children to the adult collector who either wants the latest Beasts of the Mesozoic Yutyrannus huali figure to the latest releases from PNSO.”

The reviewer continued and explained that purchasing from Everything Dinosaur was fast, safe and secure.  He liked receiving an email confirming the order and the paperwork supplied was clear and concise.  William added that his normal purchase time on the company’s website was about two to three minutes.

The new “limited-edition” section of the website was highlighted as being particularly helpful.
