Carnegie Collection Acrocanthosaurus (Model Number 403901)

First produced in 2001, the Carnegie Collection Acrocanthosaurus was a mainstay of this highly popular model series up until its retirement back in 2010. The model was rarely found in ordinary toy shops with their plethora of T. rex, Stegosaurus and Triceratops replicas and genuine dinosaur model collectors had to seek this one out more often than not. Acrocanthosaurus (A. atokensis) was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs of North America during the Early Cretaceous. It has been estimated to have reached lengths in excess of twelve metres and footprints found in Texas (USA), might be those of this huge theropod dinosaur and, if so, they indicate that this dinosaur may have hunted in packs.

So why the interest in this dinosaur model, one that was officially retired five years ago? With the demise of the entire Carnegie Collection model series, team members at Everything Dinosaur know that many collectors and dinosaur model fans are eager to get their hands on this replica so that they can complete their Carnegie collections. Everything Dinosaur has been able to acquire a number of these dinosaur models and we are selling them at the same price they were back in 2010 just £4.99 plus postage (2015 price). After all, why should we exploit a situation just because a dinosaur model is getting rarer and rarer.

Buy dinosaur and prehistoric animal figures on-line. Everything Dinosaur stocks a huge range of prehistoric animal models including the Safari Ltd. Wild Safari Prehistoric World model range: Safari Ltd. Wild Safari Prehistoric World Figures.

So for all those dinosaur fans and model collectors, he is one last opportunity to acquire what is becoming an increasingly rare dinosaur – the Acrocanthosaurus dinosaur model – Carnegie Collection.

Acrocanthosaurus – An Update

In addition, PNSO have introduced a replica of Acrocanthosaurus. This model was nicknamed “Fergus”. It was introduced in 2022.

There is much to be admired about this Acrocanthosaurus dinosaur model. It is so well balanced that it can stand on a solid surface without the need of the clear, plastic support. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Which Political Dinosaur Will You Vote For?

Unless you have been buried under a geological formation for the last few months it probably hasn’t escaped your attention that on May 7th in the United Kingdom we are going to have a general election. Today, April 1st means that there is just over five weeks remaining before the big vote. Whilst we appreciate that such events are very important and we would not want to belittle the democratic process, but having heard the phrase “political dinosaur” banded around and with many politicians and other people who hold public office referred to as “dinosaurs”, we thought that just for a bit of fun we could give everyone the opportunity to vote for a dinosaur!

Vote Dinosaur

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED

Everything Dinosaur team members have sorted through our range of soft toys and identified our candidates. We have tried to represent the leaders of seven political parties with a dinosaur soft toy, each soft toy being in the colours of their respective political parties.

Team Members Try Their Best for Easter Delivery

By Mike|2023-03-25T10:44:54+00:00March 31st, 2015|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Press Releases|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur Prepares for the Bank Holiday (Easter)

With a Bank Holiday weekend fast approaching for those of us in the UK, it is worth remembering that most courier services and Royal Mail will not be working on Good Friday or Easter Monday. What will be for most of the population, a four day weekend, will result in disruption to mail services and deliveries. However, those hard working team members at Everything Dinosaur are doing all they can to try to ensure that UK customers at least, have every chance of receiving their parcels before the Easter break.

Team Members Working Hard to Despatch Parcels

Everything Dinosaur provides “egg-cellent” service.

To view a selection of prehistoric animal themed toys and games available from Everything Dinosaur: Everything Dinosaur Toys and Gifts.

A spokesperson for the Cheshire based dinosaur company stated:

“Our packing team are working as hard as they can at the moment to get orders picked, packed and despatched as quickly as possible. We appreciate that many customers have made purchases for the Bank Holiday and we are doing all we can to get parcels on their way as quickly as possible.”

Despatching Parcels to Customers

No parcels will be despatched on Good Friday as Royal Mail and most couriers are not going to be working, so customers are urged to place any orders for Easter as quickly as possible to give their parcel the chance of arriving in time.

Everything Dinosaur aims to pick, pack and send out parcels on the same day as an order is placed. Every customer receives a personalised email from a team member advising them of the status of the parcel and where it is in the despatching process. Some parcels are turned round from the time the customer places the order to despatch within forty-five minutes, a schedule that few other mail order companies can match.

There will be no parcels sent out on Bank Holiday Monday. Once again most couriers and Royal Mail are not operating a collection service on this day. However, Everything Dinosaur has put in place a contingency plan, whereby they can despatch parcels on Saturday morning should the need arise.

Everything Dinosaur

The spokesperson went onto add:

“We do appreciate that a number of customers want orders to arrive in time for the weekend. We have put extra resources in place to help manage the Bank Holiday work pressures, but we do urge all customers to place any orders as early as possible to give the delivery companies time to deliver.”

With a commitment to customer service such as this, it is no wonder that Everything Dinosaur has become the “go to company” for dinosaur toys and dinosaur models.

Lottie the Fossil Hunter is Great for Imaginative, Creative Play

By Mike|2024-05-05T09:44:36+01:00March 30th, 2015|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Educational Activities, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Teaching|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur Supports Women In Science

With our school visits to deliver dinosaur and fossil themed workshops, Everything Dinosaur team members are heavily involved in helping to promote geology/palaeontology and careers in science to young people and it is wonderful to introduce a girl palaeontologist rag doll. We are very aware of the need to promote science to both girls and boys and as we visit a large number of schools we recognise that our team members can make an important contribution.

It’s not just our school visits, we supply lots of helpful teaching resources to teachers and home educationalists and provide advice on all sorts of Earth science related subjects from “Anning to Zuniceratops” as our boss, known as “Tyrannosaurus Sue” likes to say. This week alone, we have provided free lesson plan advice to a Year 6 teacher as they prepare to teach evolution as a term topic, supported a Key Stage 2 teaching team with their fossils and rocks scheme of work and answered questions from school leavers about the potential roles and vocations within the umbrella of palaeontology.

Fact sheets on Smilodon fatalis and Allosaurus fragilis have been emailed to India and we have supplied ammonite models to help a geologist explain about life in Jurassic marine environments – all this and it is still only Monday.

Dinosaurs and Fossils are Not Just for the Boys!

Encouraging women into the Earth Sciences!

We have been so lucky to have met and worked with some amazing women scientists. That’s why Everything Dinosaur is delighted to introduce a “Girl Palaeontologist Rag Doll” into our extensive product range.

Girl Palaeontologist Rag Doll

Say Hello to a Girl Palaeontologist

We first met this young palaeontologist quite a few months ago when she was very much at the prototype stage. We applaud the efforts of those women behind the campaign to get more girls to study the sciences. Celebrating the role of women in archaeology, geology and palaeontology who have done amazing work in the past, continue to do so today and will no doubt be at the cutting edge of the Earth Sciences in the future. Our boss Sue, (volcanism is her thing), only wishes that this soft toy had been around when she was growing up.

Sue commented:

“There have been some wonderful women who have been pioneers in the development of palaeontology and geology and we are all keen to help encourage girls into science careers. Sadly, in some quarters those Georgian/early Victorian attitudes that dogged Mary Anning can still be found, but we are doing all we can to stress that dinosaurs and fossils are not just for boys.”

As if to affirm Sue’s comments, we received a letter from Shantel in Year 2 after a dinosaur workshop with her class. Shantel was delighted that we came to her school as she was “very excited because we love dinosaurs”.

Great writing Shantel and thank you for your kind words, we know that this fossil hunter rag doll will be very impressed.

The Beautiful Dinosaur Timeline Poster

By Mike|2024-05-04T19:26:04+01:00March 28th, 2015|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Dinosaur Timeline Poster

Many dinosaur fans may be familiar with the phrase the Age of Dinosaurs. This term represents the time when the Dinosauria were the dominant terrestrial life forms on our planet. This informal measurement of deep time actually covers three geological periods, the Triassic, the Jurassic and the Cretaceous.

The first dinosaurs and the Pterosauria (flying reptiles), evolved in the Middle Triassic, although this is only an approximation as the evolutionary history of the Dinosauria and Pterosauria remains controversial due to the paucity of the fossil record. Both these types of vertebrate reptiles rapidly diversified and for the next one hundred and sixty million years these types of creatures dominated the land and the air respectively.

For the pterosaurs, the evolution of the birds (descended from theropod dinosaurs), led to them being challenged for aerial dominance and as a group, the flying reptiles began to decline in terms of the number of genera and species towards the end of the Cretaceous. Both the pterosaurs and the Dinosauria went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.

Dinosaur Timeline Poster

This super, beautifully illustrated A2-sized poster shows how the world changed over the time of the “Age of Dinosaurs”. Three scenes are presented, one for each of the geological periods and dates for the length of these immensely long geological periods are provided.

A Fantastic Dinosaur Timeline Poster

The excellent dinosaur timeline poster.

Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur

Three Prehistoric Scenes

Each prehistoric scene depicts the flora and fauna associated with that particular time period. It provides an excellent, visual guide to the changes to life on Earth during the time of the dinosaurs. There are a total of thirty prehistoric animals illustrated and the poster provides a stunning depiction of prehistoric life. The dinosaur timeline poster has a key to help viewers to identify the animals and the dioramas really help young minds to understand the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and the types of animals and plants that flourished.

To see the range of educational prehistoric animal posters available from Everything Dinosaur: Dinosaur Posters, Toys and Games.

This colourful dinosaur timeline poster measures 42 cm by 59.4 cm and it is a really well thought out dinosaur and prehistoric animal poster.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“We have searched for quite a while to find a colourful, accurate and educational dinosaur timeline poster and we are delighted with this item. Retailing for under £2.50 GBP [2015] plus post and packaging, this poster represents fantastic value. We highly recommend it for use in schools, for use by home educationalists and for the bedroom walls of young dinosaur fans.”

A Video Review of the Schleich Anhanguera Model

By Mike|2023-03-24T07:23:42+00:00February 15th, 2015|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos|0 Comments

Schleich Anhanguera Pterosaur – Video Review

With all the new models and replicas due out this year, Everything Dinosaur team members are having a job finding the time to review them all. However, after several requests, we have got round to shooting a quick video review of the new for 2015 Schleich Anhanguera replica. What a beautiful model of a flying reptile this is! The detail around the eyes is simply amazing and although the wing shape and stance of this replica is not quite how we imagined, this does nothing to detract from what is a very colourful and well made pterosaur model.

Everything Dinosaur Reviews the new for 2015 Schleich Anhanguera Pterosaur Replica

Video credit: Everything Dinosaur

Schleich Anhanguera Model

Over the last three years or so Schleich have revamped their prehistoric animal model range, opting to change the sizes of their models and introducing a number of very colourful and bright prehistoric animals. The sky blue tones of the Anhanguera replica certainly make this flying reptile model stand out from the crowd.

To view the range of Schleich prehistoric animals available from Everything Dinosaur: Schleich World of History Models and Figures.

In this video, which is six minutes and thirty-five seconds long, we talk about where in the world Anhanguera fossils have been found and then we describe the model in detail. Schleich has made a model of Anhanguera before, a smaller replica once formed part of the company’s not-to-scale “dinosaurs” range.

The First Anhanguera Model made by Schleich

This model was retired a number of years ago.

A Mini Quetzalcoatlus Figure

This is not the only pterosaur figure introduced by Schleich this year. In the popular, mini dinosaurs range, a flying reptile replica was included, this time a model of a giant pterosaur, distantly related to Anhanguera, the Late Cretaceous behemoth known as Quetzalcoatlus. It too is a very colourful replica.
