By |2026-07-04T06:48:03+01:00July 3rd, 2026|Categories: Haolonggood Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

The eagerly anticipated Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator models have arrived at Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse. Two superb 1:35 scale replicas of the enormous prehistoric crocodile Sarcosuchus are now in stock.

Collectors can choose between two striking colour variants. The Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator Tong Meng features a beautiful brown colouration. In contrast, the Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator Tong Wei has a greener colour scheme. They are both fabulous scale replicas of an ancient pseudosuchian that was scientifically described sixty years ago (Broin and Taquet).

Two Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator Models Available

The two Sarcosuchus figures have been introduced in 1:35 scale. They reflect Haolonggood’s continued expansion beyond dinosaurs into other fascinating prehistoric animals. The Tong Meng model combines subtle brown tones with careful detailing to highlight the animal’s powerful body shape. Meanwhile, the Tong Wei figure uses a greener colour palette, providing collectors with an alternative interpretation of this giant predator.

Sarcosuchus imperator remains one of the most famous prehistoric reptiles known to science. Its fossils come from Early Cretaceous deposits of Africa. This huge animal lived during the Early Cretaceous and shared its environment with a variety of dinosaurs.  Dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Ouranosaurus.

Although often nicknamed “SuperCroc”, Sarcosuchus was not a direct ancestor of modern crocodiles. Instead, it is a distant relative of extant crocodilians.

Sarcosuchus – A Giant from the Early Cretaceous

Fossil evidence suggests that Sarcosuchus imperator was an enormous predator. Large individuals may have exceeded nine metres in length. Its long jaws contained numerous conical teeth ideal for gripping slippery prey. This remarkable reptile probably hunted fish and other animals around rivers and waterways. In addition, larger individuals may have been capable of tackling dinosaurs that ventured too close to the water’s edge.

The distinctive enlarged structure at the end of the snout, known as a bulla, remains one of the most recognisable features of Sarcosuchus. Scientists continue to debate its exact purpose.

Everything Dinosaur team members research every prehistoric animal represented in the company’s extensive model range. A free Sarcosuchus fact sheet is supplied with purchases of these new Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator models.

The fact sheet provides additional information about this amazing prehistoric predator. It helps collectors learn more about the fossil discoveries and the science behind the replica.

These new Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator models demonstrate the company’s attention to detail and their willingness to explore remarkable creatures beyond the Dinosauria.

The arrival of these models highlights the increasing diversity available to prehistoric animal model collectors.

Team members have been busy checking the new arrival and preparing orders for despatch. Furthermore, this exciting figure demonstrates Haolonggood’s continuing development as a manufacturer of highly detailed prehistoric animal models.

The new Woolly Rhinoceros replica is part of Haolonggood’s “Ancient Witness” range. This series introduces collectors to some of the remarkable animals.  The “Ancient Witness” series will include Paraceratherium and two models of Woolly Mammoths.

Coelodonta antiquitatis was a spectacular member of the Pleistocene megafauna. This large, powerful herbivore roamed across Europe and Asia. However, no fossils have been found in Ireland. It was superbly adapted to the cold environments of the Ice Age. Everything Dinosaur supplies a Coelodonta fact sheet with sales of this figure.

Thick fur, a compact body and relatively small ears helped this animal survive freezing conditions. In addition, its impressive horns were probably used in display, competition and for clearing snow to access food under the snow cover.

The Haolonggood Coelodonta antiquitatis model captures the strength and character of this iconic Ice Age mammal. The carefully sculpted coat texture, muscular body and distinctive horns help to create a realistic representation of this extinct rhinoceros. The figure has been produced in 1:35 scale. As a result, it makes an excellent companion piece for other prehistoric animal models in a collector’s display.

Celebrating the Haolonggood “Ancient Witness” Range

Everything Dinosaur team members have praised Haolonggood for expanding their portfolio and introducing more prehistoric mammals.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Haolonggood has earned a fantastic reputation for producing highly detailed dinosaur figures. It is wonderful to see the company expanding into prehistoric mammals with their ‘Ancient Witness’ range. The Haolonggood Coelodonta antiquitatis is a superb replica of one of the most iconic Ice Age animals. We think collectors are going to be very impressed with this Woolly Rhinoceros model.”

The introduction of prehistoric mammals provides collectors with the opportunity to explore different chapters in the history of life on Earth. Dinosaurs might dominate many model collections, but animals such as Coelodonta demonstrate that the Cenozoic Era was also home to some extraordinary creatures.

EU Customs Charges for UK Retailers – Everything Dinosaur Is Ready for the Changes

By |2026-07-01T10:13:55+01:00July 1st, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

From today, 1st July 2026, new EU customs charges for UK retailers came into effect following the removal of the European Union’s long-standing customs duty exemption on consignments valued at €150 or less. Although these changes affect businesses exporting to the EU, Everything Dinosaur has already updated its shipping procedures to help ensure ordering remains straightforward for our customers.

These new customs charges do not apply solely to UK retailers. They affect every retailer based outside the European Union that exports eligible consignments into EU member states. This includes businesses in countries such as the United States, China, Canada, India, Australia and Japan.

The new duty applies to imports from all non-EU countries, regardless of where the seller is established.

Everything Dinosaur recognised these changes well in advance and updated its shipping procedures before the new legislation came into force, helping to ensure a smooth purchasing experience for our European customers.

Preparing for the EU Customs Charges for UK Retailers

To prepare for the new regulations, we have added a small fee to our handling charge for deliveries to the 27 EU member states. This reflects the new fixed €3 customs duty that now applies to eligible consignments entering the European Union.

International shipping regulations continue to evolve. Therefore, we closely monitor changes to customs legislation, import requirements and delivery procedures. Consequently, we can adapt our systems quickly and provide customers with accurate information before new rules take effect.

To read a blog post about the new EU customs charges: Everything Dinosaur Ready for EU De Minimis Changes.

We have also updated our shipping information and our Frequently Asked Questions page to explain the latest requirements. Furthermore, our experienced team is always happy to answer questions about international deliveries. Whether you are adding a new prehistoric animal model to your collection or purchasing a gift, we want you to order with complete confidence.

An Evolving Situation

Over the last twenty years or so, we have had to adjust our business practices to accommodate changes in legislation and changes to regulations.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The introduction of these new EU customs charges for UK retailers is another example of how international trade continues to evolve. We work hard to monitor regulatory changes and update our systems before they affect our customers. Our aim is to make ordering from Everything Dinosaur as simple as possible while continuing to provide the reliable service and award-winning customer support that collectors have come to expect.”

These EU customs charges for UK retailers represent another change for businesses exporting to Europe. However, careful planning and a proactive approach enable Everything Dinosaur to continue providing dependable worldwide shipping. We remain committed to excellent customer service, transparent pricing and helping collectors throughout the European Union enjoy a smooth and reliable shopping experience.
