Photographing the New CollectA Deluxe Arctodus simus Figure

Mike and Sue from Everything Dinosaur have been taking a close look at the new for 2025 CollectA Deluxe Arctodus simus model. They thank CollectA for sending a sample of the figure.  These models will be in stock at the company’s warehouse in a few weeks.  The CollectA Deluxe Giant short-faced bear is one of seven new prehistoric animal figures to be introduced by CollectA this year.

The picture shows the new Arctodus simus model photographed against the backdrop of some boxes containing CollectA tree models.  The superb texture of the fur and the details of the inside of the mouth can clearly be seen.  The subtle staining of the white flash on the chest can be made out too.

It is a wonderful model a huge and formidable prehistoric bear.

The CollectA Deluxe Arctodus simus Figure

The model stands around seventeen centimetres tall and it has a declared scale of 1:20. Our photograph shows the torn right ear of the figure.  This injury could have resulted from intraspecific combat or perhaps in a fight over a carcase with an American lion (Panthera atrox) or some other apex predator.  Meat is not thought to have made up a large part of this bear’s diet.  Especially those animals that roamed the southern parts of North America.  However, like modern bears this huge mammal would have happily fed on a carcase that it found.  It’s huge size and immense strength would have probably intimidated most other predators that encountered it.
