A message for all our customers in the USA. As of 18:00 hours (BST), 13:00 hours EST, (Sunday 24th August 2025), Everything Dinosaur is temporarily suspending shipments to the United States. Visitors to the Everything Dinosaur website will not be able to place orders destined for the USA. With the removal of the de minimis for all parcels destined for the USA taking place as of midnight August 28th, we are anticipating considerable confusion and delays within the American postal system.

In order to protect our customers, we have reluctantly taken the decision to suspend parcel shipments to America.  Deliveries to other countries are unaffected.

Everything Dinosaur – a leading supplier of dinosaur toys and models is working hard to help American customers. We are currently testing new software on the website to help American customers to understand the implications of the removal of de minimis. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Changes to the Everything Dinosaur Website

We are currently in the process of installing and testing new software on the Everything Dinosaur website.  Our aim is to provide comprehensive and easy to understand information about tariffs and duties for our American customers. Once this testing has been completed, we plan to permit sales to the USA once again. Sue and I apologise for this inconvenience, please be assured we are doing all we can to accommodate the new postal rules for parcels destined for the USA.

We note that many national postal companies and couriers have suspended operations to the USA, whilst they too are seeking solutions to accommodate the removal of de minimis. Parcels sent to other countries are unaffected.

Everything Dinosaur are delighted to exhibit at this weekend’s DinoCon event.  We proudly associate ourselves with this amazing convention.  Indeed, we posed for a photograph with us behind the Everything Dinosaur stall DinoCon 2025. This inaugural convention brings palaeontology enthusiasts, dinosaur fans, artists, academics, and collectors together to celebrate prehistoric times.  Furthermore, it allows individuals to showcase their talents.

The Everything Dinosaur Stall DinoCon 2025

Thank you to all those model collectors who contacted us advising which figures to bring. Indeed, the feedback we received was instrumental in helping us decide which models to bring.

Our stall proved very popular across the weekend. Visitors were able to browse a wide range of prehistoric animal models and dinosaur figures.  Beasts of the Mesozoic, Papo and CollectA models were on display.  In addition, we brought some other brands such as PNSO too.

Attendees took the opportunity to chat with us about the latest models and forthcoming releases. We also enjoyed answering questions about dinosaurs and model design.

The Vendor’s Hall was full of energy and enthusiasm. Sue and I were proud to stand alongside talented palaeoartists, authors, and other vendors offering incredible merchandise.  The atmosphere captured the true spirit of DinoCon 2025 — a location where science, creativity, and community come together.

We would like to thank everyone who stopped by our stall. The support and interest are greatly appreciated. Meeting fellow enthusiasts is always a highlight.  Moreover, we are part of an amazing community, and we left the event inspired by the passion of the DinoCon fanbase.

We are already looking forward to future conventions and hope to see even more familiar faces next time. DinoCon 2025 was a fantastic start, and Everything Dinosaur was proud to play a part.

It is official — Everything Dinosaur has fans! Two, in fact, to help keep us cool if summer returns. Earlier this week, we received a mystery parcel from China. Inside were two beautiful, hand-crafted fans.  What a heart-warming and delightful surprise.  Such a thoughtful gift from China.

Unfortunately, there was no note, so we do not know who sent them. The sender could be a customer, a freight forwarder, a manufacturer, or even a member of our trademark team in China. Furthermore, We have many contacts in China, so we are at a loss to know exactly who to thank.

A Thoughtful Gift from China

Thank you to the dedicated Beasts of the Mesozoic fan who gave Everything Dinosaur top marks for customer service.  We are grateful for all the Feefo feedback received.  The UK-based customer had recently purchased an articulated Velociraptor figure.  Having received their dromaeosaurid model, they promptly provided feedback on our customer service.

Feefo Feedback

The customer praised the speedy delivery.  In addition, they complimented Everything Dinosaur on their communication. Furthermore, the customer was impressed by the free Velociraptor fact sheet that we supplied with their figure. Feefo is a trusted reviews platform that collects genuine customer feedback for businesses. It helps companies improve service and build trust.  Everything Dinosaur has worked with Feefo for nearly a decade.

The feedback related to the purchase of a Beasts of the Mesozoic 1:18 scale Velociraptor mongoliensis figure.  Sadly, it is likely that this series of small, articulated models is going to be retired.

Everything Dinosaur has unveiled an eye-catching new email signature.  It celebrates the launch of the company’s own model range. The model range is entitled Everything Dinosaur Evolution.  Leading the way is the beautiful Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex model.  This exciting new tyrannosaur figure proudly features in the company’s digital correspondence.

The latest email signature footer from Everything Dinosaur features the soon to be available Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex model.

The Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex Model Incorporated into an Email Signature

This new email signature shows the Everything Dinosaur Evolution logo.  In addition, the figure is shown in lateral view. Only the front half of the dinosaur model is visible.  To see the entire figure, recipients of emails have to click on the link embedded in the image.

The T. rex is the first model in this exciting new series of museum-quality prehistoric animal figures.  This powerful symbol highlights the start of a new chapter for Everything Dinosaur.  The image implores recipients to “Join the Evolution”.  No other range of dinosaur models has been designed with this much attention to detail.

For further information on the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range of models: Everything Dinosaur Evolution Models.

By clicking the embedded link in the signature, email recipients can go directly to the Everything Dinosaur Evolution section of the website. Site visitors can explore the range, sign up for updates, and stay informed about the release of future figures.  They will be amongst the first to be informed about more Hell Creek Formation models.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur explained the strategy behind this digital update:

“We want to inform as many dinosaur model fans as possible about our new product range. This new outlook signature on our emails helps us to do just that.”

Setting the Tone

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex figure is a 1:33 scale model.  It sets a strong tone for this brand-new line of prehistoric animal replicas.  The updated email signature promotes this range.  In addition, it reflects the company’s commitment to scientific accuracy and customer communication.

The evolution of Everything Dinosaur has begun!

In the spring, the waters of international delivery became choppy.  The withdrawal of the de minimis threshold of $800 USD in the USA caused great uncertainty.  We did all that we could to keep our customers informed. When it comes to Everything Dinosaur shipping parcels overseas, we remain committed to providing an exemplary service.  An Executive Order remains in place for the removal of the $800 USD de minimis threshold on parcels of China/Hong Kong origin.

Uncertainty regarding the American administration’s intentions remains.  Bilateral trade deals may alleviate some of these problems.  After all, the UK was the first country to agree a bilateral trade deal with the United States following the wide-ranging unilateral tariffs that were announced in April (2025).

What is De Minimis?

De minimis refers to a threshold value for international parcels sent to the USA, below which goods can enter duty-free and without additional customs fees.  For countries other than China and Hong Kong it remains at $800 USD.  However, in the “Big, Beautiful Bill”, currently passing through U.S. legislature there is provision to make significant changes with regards to the sending of parcels to the USA.

There is a plan to end de minimis for all parcels entering the USA by July the 1st 2027.  The direction of travel is clear. Indeed, an Executive Order may end the de minimis threshold for small parcels sooner.

There are plans to charge duties and tariffs for all parcels scheduled to be sent to America.  The de minimis threshold for all parcels arriving in the USA could end by July 1st 2027. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

De minimis has long been used to ship low-value goods into America without duties.  This enables easy access to the U.S. consumer for retailers of “fast fashion” and other items.  Lawmakers have expressed concern over the dramatic rise of Chinese e-tailers.  Changes in the shopping habits of Americans has led to a boom in ecommerce.  The provisions in the “Big, Beautiful Bill” that oversee the ending of the de minimis threshold could raise billions of dollars in revenue.

However, it is not clear at this stage how a universal ending of de minimis would impact the U.S. postal network.  We estimate that around forty-five parcels enter the American postal network every second.  Administrating any de minimis changes would be challenging.  A thirty-day lead time prior to implementation has been proposed.

The Impact on Everything Dinosaur Shipping Parcels to the USA

In the light of these developments, Everything Dinosaur has been keen to keep customers informed. We are committed to understanding the ramifications of any changes and doing all we can to assist our American customers.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Sue and I try our best to keep our customers updated. There remains considerable uncertainty with regards to sending parcels to America. However, we work directly with major shipping companies, and we want to assure our customers that Everything Dinosaur is fully committed to navigating any changes.”

The advice from many commercial shipping channels is to adopt a DDP (delivery duty paid) model.  Everything Dinosaur has been offering DDP shipping for international customers for over five years. Team members have lots of experience in handling parcel despatch under DDP.

Excitement is building as dinosaur fans and model collectors eagerly await the arrival of the new Everything Dinosaur Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex model.  This is a stunning, 1:33 scale replica of the “Tyrant Lizard King”, the model is supplied with its own display base and each figure is hand-painted. Today, we can announce that there will be two versions of this beautiful prehistoric animal model available.  A Collector’s edition with five exclusive and unique collector cards and a very special Founder’s edition.

The Collector’s Edition and the Founder’s Edition

The collector’s edition will have its own unique product packaging.  A smart 2D QR code on the box will provide customers with exclusive access to Everything Dinosaur Evolution.  In addition, the entire packaging is fully recyclable or compostable, a first for our industry.  Inside the collector’s edition, customers will find five amazing collector cards featuring full-colour illustrations created by Bob Nicholls.  The Collector’s edition will have a limited production run.  We are going to make figures until the mould breaks.  Essentially, the technology to produce these extremely detailed figures is being pushed to the limit, when the mould breaks no more Tyrannosaurus rex figures can be produced from that mould.

To this end, as well as supplying the Collector’s edition, a very special and exclusive version is being produced.  The first batch of figures off the production line, the very first models that Everything Dinosaur has ever produced will be set aside.  These models will become the Founder’s edition.

The Founder’s Edition

There will be two very special versions of the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex!  As well as all the attributes of the Collector’s edition, the Founder’s edition will have:

• A unique, premium and high-end box design.
• Strictly limited availability and only available from Everything Dinosaur.
• A special additional collector card which is exclusive to the Founder’s edition.
• An exclusive, unique collector card that is personally signed by the acclaimed palaeo-reconstruction artist Bob Nicholls.

Developed and designed in the UK by an expert team including renowned palaeontologist and author Dr Dean Lomax and award-winning palaeo-reconstruction artist Bob Nicholls.  In addition, the acclaimed digital sculptor and designer Glen Southern is on board.  These two versions are likely to sell out fast.

Commemorating the First Figures

Sue from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“I have been responsible for organising the special, limited-edition Founder’s product offering.  Working closely with Bob Nicholls I have overseen the design of the new collector cards, including the exclusive ones that will only be available in the Founder’s edition.  The Collector’s edition is amazing but the Founder’s edition with its exclusive packaging and personally signed artwork is something special.  It’s great to be able to offer the dinosaur model collecting community something that commemorates the very first figures off the production line.  The first figures in the new Everything Dinosaur Evolution range.”

The EDE001 T. rex model has stormed onto the model collecting scene.  It is the first figure in the new, scientifically accurate scale model series Everything Dinosaur Evolution. This detailed, 1:33 scale replica depicts Tyrannosaurus rex from the famous Hell Creek Formation of North America.  The next three figures in this remarkable series are all dinosaurs from the Hell Creek Formation. However, once the Hell Creek Formation series has been completed, where does the design team go next?
