Mike from Everything Dinosaur will take part in a live Zoom interview next month. The event marks the first dedicated interview about the new Everything Dinosaur Evolution range.

Hosted by palaeoartist Karim Zanaty of Extinct Fine Art, the online discussion will explore the inspiration behind the project. In addition, attendees will learn more about the development of the figures and the future plans for the range.

The event takes place on 24th June at 4:00 pm UTC (5pm BST, noon EDT).

Discussing the Everything Dinosaur Evolution Project

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution range represents an exciting new chapter for the company. For more than twenty years, Everything Dinosaur has helped enthusiasts, collectors and educators access scientifically accurate prehistoric animal models. However, the Evolution project takes this commitment a step further. The aim is to create museum-quality prehistoric animal figures that combine scientific accuracy with exceptional craftsmanship.

The first figure in the range is a 1:33 scale Tyrannosaurus rex. A team of scientists, artists and designers worked on the model. Furthermore, the project took more than three years to complete.

During the interview, Mike will explain how the team developed the figure. He will also discuss the importance of combining palaeontology and palaeoart when creating realistic prehistoric animal reconstructions.

Palaeontology and Palaeoart Connected

Accurate prehistoric animal models require both scientific research and artistic skill. Therefore, the interview will explore how these two disciplines work together. Palaeontologists provide evidence from fossils and scientific studies. Meanwhile, artists help transform that evidence into engaging visual reconstructions. As a result, collectors can enjoy figures that reflect current scientific understanding.

The discussion will also highlight the collaborative approach behind the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range. This co-operation has helped create a figure that captures both anatomical accuracy and visual appeal.

An Opportunity to Ask Questions

The Zoom event includes an open discussion and a live question-and-answer session. Consequently, attendees will have the opportunity to ask Mike about the Evolution range and the development process.

Questions about model design, scientific research and future releases will be welcome. In addition, participants can learn more about the challenges involved in creating museum-quality prehistoric animal figures.

The event is free to attend. However, visitors can make an optional donation to support the project if they wish.

Sue Speaking at DinoCon – A Unique Insight into the Dinosaur Model Industry

By |2026-05-14T18:18:12+01:00May 14th, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

It is true!  Sue speaking at DinoCon 2026!  We teased this on social media and today we can confirm that Sue Judd from Everything Dinosaur will be presenting at this year’s DinoCon. Her presentation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the company’s first in-house dinosaur model.

The talk is titled “It Takes a Team to Build a T. rex“. It takes place at 10am on Saturday 25th July in the Library Room at DinoCon. The DinoCon event is being held over the weekend of 25th and 26th July at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel (Birmingham, England).

For Sue, this event marks a special milestone. It will be her first public presentation at DinoCon. Indeed, it is her first time presenting about dinosaurs. As a result, visitors can expect a personal and honest account of the challenges behind designing a scientifically accurate dinosaur model.

Sue Speaking at DinoCon

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex model took more than three years to develop. However, the project involved much more than sculpting a prehistoric animal. The development team brought together palaeontologists, artists, digital designers and model collectors. Furthermore, the project explored sustainability goals, innovative manufacturing methods and new digital technologies.

Sue’s talk explains how these different skills combined to create the final model. In addition, she will discuss how the lessons learned are helping shape the forthcoming Triceratops figure.

Collectors and dinosaur fans often see only the finished model. However, this presentation reveals the planning, collaboration and problem-solving behind the scenes.

Unique Insight into Dinosaur Model Design

This DinoCon presentation focuses on the people behind the project as much as the prehistoric animal itself. Consequently, visitors will hear how a small UK-based company developed an ambitious museum-quality figure range.  It is an astonishing project.  Aiming to change the world one dinosaur model at a time.

Sue will discuss the inspiration behind Everything Dinosaur Evolution and the importance of following the fossil record. In addition, this presentation will provide unique insights into the company’s collaborative work with palaeoartists and designers.  There will even be time for some questions too.

Building the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex became the company’s first in-house prehistoric animal model. The figure was developed with support from experienced palaeoartists and digital sculptors. Additionally, the project reflected Everything Dinosaur’s commitment to responsible manufacturing and long-term sustainability goals. The development process also highlighted the importance of community involvement. Feedback from collectors helped influence several stages of the project.  Indeed, this process is on-going and suggestions about which models to make next are welcome.

As a result, the award-winning 1:33 scale Tyrannosaurus rex model combined scientific research with practical design experience.

Visit DinoCon This July (2026)

DinoCon continues to grow as one of the UK’s most exciting dinosaur-themed events. The convention attracts collectors, families, artists and prehistoric animal enthusiasts from across the country. Therefore, Sue speaking at DinoCon provides visitors with an opportunity to learn more about the creative process behind prehistoric animal model development.

Sue commented that she was excited to have been approached about speaking at this prestigious event and added:

“I’m thrilled to speak at DinoCon and share how our team turned an idea into the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex. This presentation celebrates collaboration, creativity and our commitment to building scientifically accurate dinosaur models inspired by the fossil record.  Moreover, I can provide exclusive insights into our new Triceratops.”

Fans of Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops and prehistoric animal collectibles will not want to miss this fascinating presentation.

Sue’s presentation, “It Takes a Team to Build a T. rex“, takes place in the Library Room at 10am on Saturday 25th July.

We look forward to seeing you there.

AI Platforms Provide Extremely Positive Reviews for Everything Dinosaur

By |2026-04-08T09:56:22+01:00April 7th, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

Have you ever wondered what ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity actually say about you?  In the fast-moving online world rapidly becoming dominated by artificial intelligence (AI) companies are having to navigate a new digital environment.  For example, for us at Everything Dinosaur, our website’s position in search engine queries is increasingly influenced by concepts such as AI optimisation (AIO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO).  Two more acronyms that we have to get used to.  Interestingly, AI insights for Everything Dinosaur yield extremely positive results.

But what do they mean?

  • AIO – AI Optimisation is our website structured in such a way so that AI agents can easily understand its content and navigate around it?
  • GEO – Generative Engine Optimisation is our website designed to have content cited as a reference in generative AI results?

AI Insights for Everything Dinosaur

This is all rather confusing to someone who would rather be looking at dinosaur models all day.  However, our reputation for customer service and our dedication to our customers seems to be putting Everything Dinosaur into a favourable position when it comes to how AI views us and our business.

For example, we were recently invited by Yoast, a European based search engine optimisation company to take part in an exercise to reveal how AI agents viewed our brand.  Intrigued, we submitted some basic information about us and the team at Yoast set about checking how leading AI platforms view Everything Dinosaur. In turn, these platforms help populate search queries.

The examination reveals overwhelmingly positive AI insights for Everything Dinosaur. In the analysis we scored 100% for our brand sentiment.

The image (above) shows the report into brand sentiment.  The AI platforms could not find any negative comments or sentiments expressed by Everything Dinosaur.

Reassuring for Customers

We might be living in an increasingly AI dominated world.  However, we remain true to our values.  For example, whilst we acknowledge the importance of making our websites AI friendly our priority remains keeping our sites easy to use for people.  As a company, we continue to receive high praise from customers.  We have thousands of Feefo and Google customer reviews.  New reviews are posted nearly every day.  Furthermore, we continue to retain a rating of “Exceptional”.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is pleasing to note the brand sentiment results following a trawl through AI platforms.  However, we remain committed to helping our customers and supporting them.  Whilst we recognise the importance of AI, helping people is the core element of our business.  After all, we are model collectors too.”

Everything Dinosaur Customer Reviews Revealed by Google AI Analysis

By |2026-03-26T10:15:01+00:00March 29th, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

Recently, we reported an exciting milestone. Everything Dinosaur received six Google 5-star reviews in a single day. Moreover, we have hundreds of 5-star Google reviews.  However, with six reviews in a single day, we wanted to explore this further. Therefore, we asked Google’s AI Mode to analyse Everything Dinosaur customer reviews.

The results were both interesting and reassuring.

To read about Everything Dinosaur achieving six, 5-star Google reviews: Six 5-star Google Reviews in a Single Day.

Everything Dinosaur Customer Reviews Demonstrate a Strong Reputation for Customer Service

According to Google AI Mode, Everything Dinosaur has built an exceptional reputation. The analysis highlighted a consistent one hundred percent 5-star review record, based on hundreds of reviews. Furthermore, the AI identified several key themes. First and foremost, customer service stands out. Reviews frequently describe the service as “stellar”, “fantastic” and “top notch”. In addition, many customers state that the team goes “above and beyond”.

This reflects our long-standing commitment to helping model collectors, educators, and enthusiasts.

Fast Shipping and Careful Packaging

Next, the AI pointed to shipping and packaging. Customers often praise the speed of delivery. Furthermore, they highlight the care taken when packing orders. This is especially important. After all, many of our products are delicate, museum-quality models. Therefore, careful handling remains essential.

As a result, positive feedback in this area is particularly pleasing.

Another key theme is scientific accuracy. Collectors appreciate our detailed product information. They also value the anatomical accuracy of our models.  We stock museum quality prehistoric animal figures. Importantly, this reflects our collaboration with palaeontologists and professional artists. We work hard to ensure each model is based on the latest research.

Consequently, it is rewarding to see this recognised in customer reviews.

Genuine, Independent Reviews Build Trust

The AI summary also highlighted authenticity. Everything Dinosaur is committed to sharing only genuine customer feedback. We actively discourage fake or misleading reviews. In addition, we never rely on AI-generated testimonials. Trust is vital, and transparency remains at the heart of our business.  We work closely with the independent customer ratings company Feefo.  Everything Dinosaur has also received extremely positive reviews on the Trust Pilot platform.

Interestingly, Google AI Mode also referenced independent platforms. For example, Everything Dinosaur holds an “Excellent” rating on Trustpilot and Feefo regards the company as “Exceptional”.

In addition, we were awarded the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award for 2026. This honour recognises consistent delivery of outstanding service. It has been won for five years in a row.

Together, these independent ratings support the findings from the AI-generated summary.

Our View on AI

However, we remain cautious about artificial intelligence. While AI can summarise large amounts of data efficiently, it is not perfect. For instance, we continue to commission artists. These experts create scientifically accurate prehistoric animal illustrations for our free fact sheets. We believe human expertise remains essential in palaeontology.

That said, AI clearly has its uses. In this case, it provided a helpful overview of customer feedback trends.

In conclusion, the AI generated report confirms what a lot of our customers already know.  Sue and I often go “above and beyond”.  Everything Dinosaur customer reviews demonstrate reliability, quality and trust.

Most importantly, we thank all our customers for taking the time to leave feedback. Your support helps us improve and grow.

As always, we remain committed to delivering the very best experience possible.
