We are preparing a video short on the recently introduced CollectA Deluxe Gallimimus figure. It’s time to highlight the beautiful details on the model’s base. However, as we draft the script for our video, we looked at customer feedback for inspiration.

Feedback on the CollectA Deluxe Gallimimus
This figure represents a modern interpretation of an ornithomimid. It has a declared scale of 1:40. The model measures over sixteen centimetres in length. The head height is an impressive eleven centimetres. Gallimimus has attracted lots of positive comments from customers. For example, one purchaser commented that “CollectA is at the top of their game”.
In addition, we have collected other comments such as:
“I think Gallimimus might have been the most hotly anticipated figure from anyone! This is the first excellent ornithomimid I’ve seen in a while. I’m excited to see this Gallimimus, which I anticipate using along with my Struthiomimus flock as adjuncts to my tyrannosaurid dioramas. So far this has been a terrific series of introductions by CollectA, as far as I’m concerned.”

Our video will explain the different tracks on the display base. Also, we will look at the foot bones too.
The model’s base shows some amazing details. There is a Gallimimus foot bone and Gallimimus tracks.
Accurately Reflecting a Gallimimus Fossil Locality
The details on the base accurately reflect a Gallimimus fossil locality. The tracks and articulated foot bone on the base demonstrate that CollectA are reflecting an actual ornithomimid dig site. In one Gallimimus quarry palaeontologists discovered an isolated, articulated right foot. It probably had been part of a much more complete fossil specimen. However, the site was raided by fossil poachers and the rest of the skeleton removed. Furthermore, three-toed Gallimimus tracks were found at the site. These tracks were of different sizes indicating the presence of juvenile tracks as well as adult footprints.
We covered some of these aspects of the CollectA Deluxe Gallimimus model when we covered the launch of this figure: CollectA New Prehistoric Animal Models Part 4.
Once the model was introduced, Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“It’s great to have a model of the largest ornithomimid known to science. If the base includes tracks and a foot bone it demonstrates that CollectA have paid attention to the fossil record. If the foot bone is present, then in a subtle way the manufacturer is raising awareness about the problem of poaching fossils.”
