A Helpful Summary of the New CollectA Prehistoric Animal Models

During November, Everything Dinosaur in collaboration with our chums at CollectA published details of the new for 2025 CollectA prehistoric animal models.  We had been provided with exclusive images of each figure.  In addition, we received the official CollectA images of the models.  In total, seven new prehistoric animal figures for 2025 were announced.

Here is the list:

• CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular Furcatoceratops.
• A replica of an eurypterid, one of the largest invertebrates that ever lived, a CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale Jaekelopterus rhenaniae.
• A prehistoric mammal model, a CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale giant short-faced bear (Arctodus simus).
• CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale Ingentia prima.
• An ornithomimid model, a CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale Gallimimus (G. bullatus).
• CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale Maip macrothorax.
• CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale Phorusrhacos.

The Furcatoceratops horned dinosaur figure is the only new introduction into the CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular range.

CollectA Prehistoric Animal Models

So, CollectA will introduce a total of seven prehistoric animal models next year (2025).  They are an eclectic bunch.  There are four dinosaurs, an invertebrate (Jaekelopterus rhenaniae) and a prehistoric mammal.  In addition, we have a “Terror Bird” the ferocious Phorusrhacos.

The Palaeozoic is represented by a 1:20 scale model of the giant “sea scorpion” Jaekelopterus rhenaniae.  It is supplied with a model of a jawless fish.

Moving much closer to the present day, CollectA will introduce a replica of a Pleistocene prehistoric mammal.  The model of the giant short-faced bear is likely to be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in the early spring.

The Triassic is represented by the giant non-sauropod sauropodomorph Ingentia prima.  The fossils of Ingentia come from the Quebrada del Barro Formation of north-western Argentina. It lived around 210 million years ago (Late Triassic).  The CollectA model will be a 1:40 scale figure.

Two Feathered Dinosaur Models

The two new CollectA theropods are both feathered.  The 1:20 scale figure of the ornithomimid Gallimimus sports a shaggy coat of feathers and is extremely bird-like.

In contrast to the graceful Gallimimus, the second theropod – Maip macrothorax represents one of the apex predators from the Late Cretaceous of South America. Maip macrothorax was formally described in 2022 (Rolando et al). Its fossils come from the Chorrillo Formation of Santa Cruz, Argentina.  This giant, robust predator may have measured in excess of ten metres in length.  The CollectA figure is in 1:40 scale.

Both the Gallimimus and the Maip are scale models.  One is in 1:20 scale, the other in 1:40 scale.  They are new additions to the CollectA Deluxe range of models.

Last but not least, is the new CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale replica of the South American Miocene terror bird Phorusrhacos.  It too is technically a theropod dinosaur.  However, genetic research into the Aves, suggests that the Phorusrhacidae family are related to extant falcons.

All these exciting, new CollectA prehistoric animal models will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in 2025.
