PNSO have announced that they will introduce a new dinosaur model.  Say hello to the PNSO Munkh the Gigantoraptor.  It is a beautiful model of the largest oviraptorosaur known to science. This figure will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in the near future.

The PNSO Munkh the Gigantoraptor dinosaur model.

This stunning replica of a feathered dinosaur measures an impressive twenty-two centimetres in length. In addition, Everything Dinosaur confirms that the Gigantoraptor replica stands fifteen and a half centimetres high.  Although no scale is given by PNSO for this model, based on an estimated length of Gigantoraptor erlianensis of eight metres, we calculate that this PNSO model is in approximately 1/36th scale.  However, collectors can confidently display this model next to 1/40th scale prehistoric animal models.

The model of the largest known oviraptorosaur (Gigantoraptor) measures 22 cm long and stands 15.5 cm high.

The PNSO Munkh the Gigantoraptor Model

Gigantoraptor (G. erlianensis) was formally scientifically described in 2007. This enormous theropod lived during the Late Cretaceous.  Its fossils come from the Iren Dabasu Formation of Inner Mongolia.  Intriguingly, a large dentary (lower jawbone) from the Bayan Shireh Formation has been tentatively assigned to this genus.  The PNSO Munkh the Gigantoraptor figure is supplied with a full-colour poster and a fifty-six-page booklet.

The Gigantoraptor figure is supplied with a full-colour, A3-sized Sci-Art poster and a 56-page, full-colour booklet.

This the second Gigantoraptor model to be made by PNSO.  The PNSO range already includes a small replica of this oviraptorosaur (Shanshan the Gigantoraptor).

Commenting on the introduction of this new oviraptorosaurian dinosaur model, Mike from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“Congratulations to the design team at PNSO. It is an amazing figure.  Furthermore, it is great to see this company making more models of Asian theropods. This dinosaur model will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur soon.”
