Time to announce the latest edition to the CollectA range of prehistoric animal figures.  We, in collaboration with our chums at CollectA can reveal that a Velociraptor with moveable jaw will be added to the CollectA range in 2027.  The figure has a declared scale of 1:10.

Images of the prototype do not show the articulated jaw.  However, we have been reliably informed that this new dromaeosaurid figure will indeed have a moveable jaw.

The model will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in 2027. We will update model fans and collectors

The model has a declared scale of 1:10. It measures a fraction under 20 centimetres in length from nose to tail. At this size, the scale claim made by the manufacturer is appropriate.

• CollectA Velociraptor with movable jaw – stalking, (1:10 scale).

The New For 2027 CollectA Velociraptor

The prototype model measures around nineteen and half centimetres in length.  Size estimates for this genus vary.  Most palaeontologists state that this genus (there are two described species), measures around 1.6 to 2 metres in length.  If the production model is just under twenty centimetres long, then the 1:10 scale declaration is pertinent. In addition, much of the total body length was made up by the long tail. In the new CollectA figure, the long tail with its elaborate plumage accounts for over half the model’s length.

The new for 2027, 1/10th scale CollectA Velociraptor dromaeosaurid dinosaur model with an articulated lower jaw.

We suspect that this new Velociraptor replica will replace the original Velociraptor model (product code 88034), which was one of the first dinosaur models made by CollectA.

The original CollectA Velociraptor model (88034) introduced in 2008.

A Spectacular Colour Scheme

The figure has a spectacular and striking colour scheme.  The lower jaw is a dirty white colour, which contrasts with the dramatic, black face mask.  There is a tuft of black feathers on the top of the head forming a crest and the figure is covered in a shaggy coat of feathers.  The impressive tail consists of a plume of long feathers and the tail is striped.  The chosen colour scheme would have been effective camouflage in a desert habitat.  Velociraptor is thought to have lived in a dry, arid environment.

The tans and browns would have been effective camouflage in the arid, desert-like palaeoenvironment. The black face mask is particularly striking.

We expect the Velociraptor figure will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in 2027. We will update model fans and collectors on social media.

The model has a complicated but naturalistic colour scheme and displays countershading.
