Everything Dinosaur has been sent some exclusive images of the new for 2025 CollectA Deluxe Jaekelopterus model. It is a fascinating eurypterid figure. The model represents the species Jaekelopterus rhenaniae and it comes complete with a luckless agnathan prey item. Team members created a short YouTube video that permitted them to share the images with model collectors. The video was posted up on the company’s YouTube channel.

The CollectA Deluxe Jaekelopterus Figure
This remarkable figure of arguably the largest arthropod known to science has a declared scale of 1:20. In the Everything Dinosaur video, we take a look at this scale statement and try to determine whether it is accurate. Exquisite details on the eurypterid figure are shown. For example, the compound eyes are highlighted. In addition, the scale-like surface ornamentation is discussed.
It is likely that this figure will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur sometime in the spring of 2025.

The new for 2025 CollectA Deluxe Jaekelopterus figure complete with a pteraspidid fish victim.
The Jaekelopterus has splashes of green. However, they are only found on the top of the model. This suggests that these markings represent algae growing on the animal’s exoskeleton. In our video, we look at the underside of the model and discuss the colouration. Furthermore, we examine the pincers and assess their accuracy when compared to the J. rhenaniae fossil material.
The Contents of the Video
Our video highlighting the exclusive Jaekelopterus images lasts for just over nine minutes and thirty seconds. It provides model collectors with the opportunity to get a really close look at this new invertebrate figure.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“We know that model collectors have been after a sea scorpion figure for a while. It’s great that CollectA have added one to their range, especially as it is a replica of Jaekelopterus.”
