This hand-painted Utahraptor replica measures twenty-three centimetres in length. It stands around eleven and a half centimetres tall. It is an extremely colourful dinosaur model. The vivid blue colouration reminds us of a budgerigar. Dromaeosaurids like Utahraptor are, after all, distantly related to modern birds. The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Utahraptor dinosaur model is supplied with an Everything Dinosaur Utahraptor fact sheet.

Mojo Fun Pays Tribute to Dinosaurs in the Movies

By Mike|2024-09-18T13:40:26+01:00February 11th, 2024|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page|0 Comments

Our thanks to Mojo Fun for sending Everything Dinosaur some new images of the Mojo Fun prehistoric life dinosaur models. The images we received includes a clever illustration of a Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex model.

We think this T. rex dinosaur model was introduced into the Mojo Fun prehistoric and extinct range in 2020. It has certainly proved to be popular with dinosaur fans and model collectors. The manufacturer has paid tribute to dinosaurs in films by mimicking a famous scene from the “Jurassic Park/Jurassic World” franchise.

Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex

The Mojo Fun T. rex figure is escaping from captivity. The image parodies scenes from the famous Universal Studio’s film franchise.

To view the Mojo Fun prehistoric life model range available from Everything Dinosaur: Mojo Fun Prehistoric Life Figures.

The Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex Deluxe figure measures around 30 cm in length. Team members at Everything Dinosaur estimate its head height to be approximately 11 cm.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Every dinosaur fan will get the connection between the Mojo Fun T. rex image and the movies. There are rumours circulating that a new film in the “Jurassic Park/Jurassic World” franchise will be released in 2025. Mojo Fun’s timing of the release of this new image is apposite.”

Everything Dinosaur team members were given the opportunity to handle the prototype for the new Papo Suchomimus dinosaur model. This new Papo dinosaur was on display at the Spielwarenmesse (Nuremberg, Germany). It is one of three new Papo dinosaur models due to be released this year (2024).

This new spinosaurid figure is going to be available after the Papo Corythosaurus and the Ampelosaurus models. It is likely to be available in the latter part of the year. The model at the tradeshow was not an actual production figure. It is a prototype that will assist with the painting guide required for when these models are made at scale.

Sue Judd from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“This new Suchomimus figure is stunning! We were given the opportunity to handle all three new for 2024 Papo dinosaurs. However, this Suchomimus model is very precious as it is effectively the prototype. It really is a beautiful model, and we hope our photographs do it justice.”

The Papo Suchomimus model is scheduled to be in stock at Everything Dinosaur towards the end of 2024. We hope our photographs have whetted the appetites of Papo fans and model collectors.

Preparing for the New Beasts of the Mesozoic Figures (Alectrosaurus)

By Mike|2024-01-22T09:30:56+00:00January 21st, 2024|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Drawings, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

Team members at Everything Dinosaur are busy preparing for the arrival of the new Beasts of the Mesozoic figures. They are wave three of the tyrannosaur series and the new figures will include the Asian tyrannosaur Alectrosaurus (Alectrosaurus olseni).

The new tyrannosaur figures include:

Eotyrannus lengi
Moros intrepidus
Albertosaurus sarcophagus
Gorgosaurus libratus
Daspletosaurus torosus
Tarbosaurus bataar
Alectrosaurus olseni

To view the range of Beasts of the Mesozoic models in stock: Beasts of the Mesozoic Models.

Alectrosaurus olseni

Alectrosaurus is known from hindlimb fossils and fragmentary elements of the hips. Much of the ascribed fossil material was discovered during the Third Asiatic Expedition to Inner Mongolia (China), by the American Museum of Natural History. It was formally described in 1933 (Gilmore).

The fossil material came from deposits associated with the Iren Dabasu Formation. The age of the strata remains uncertain. Relative dating using the abundant ostracod fossils suggest a Late Campanian to Maastrichtian age. However, the vertebrate assemblage represents fauna that indicate that the deposits are much older perhaps dating from the Turonian faunal stage. This would suggest that Alectrosaurus lived around 90 mya (million years ago).

The size of Alectrosaurus olseni is unknown. Its body length has been estimated at between five and six metres. Analysis of the limb bones and their ratios (femur to tibia), indicate that this dinosaur was a fast runner. It was probably a pursuit predator. The weight of A. olseni has been estimated to be around six hundred kilograms.

An Everything Dinosaur Scale Drawing

As part of our preparations for the arrival of the new Beasts of the Mesozoic tyrannosaurs, we have commissioned an Alectrosaurus scale drawing. This illustration will be incorporated into the free fact sheet that we will send out with the Alectrosaurus olseni model.

New Haolonggood Carnotaurus Models

Two new Haolonggood Carnotaurus models are coming to Everything Dinosaur. The two figures are part of a shipment that will be arriving in the UK soon. Both theropod models have articulated lower jaws.

Haolonggood Carnotaurus Models

These beautiful figures have been painted in stunning colours. Each model has a declared scale of 1:35. The Haolonggood Carnotaurus models measure 22.5 cm long and stand around 9.5 cm tall. They are spectacular models of the famous South American abelisaurid.

View the range of Haolonggood models and figures available: Haolonggood Prehistoric Animal Models.

As with the vast majority of the prehistoric animals supplied by Everything Dinosaur. Each Carnotaurus model will be supplied with a unique Carnotaurus (C. sastrei) fact sheet.

Models of Carnotaurus sastrei

Named and described in 1985 (Bonaparte), Carnotaurus is known from an exceptional specimen. The only known fossil material consists of much of the anterior portion of the skeleton including the skull. It is thought to have been one of the largest of the Abelisauridae. Palaeontologists estimate that Carnotaurus may have measured around eight metres in length. However, it has been speculated that this predator could have grown much larger.

Commenting on the imminent arrival of these two Carnotaurus sastrei figures, a spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“The two Haolonggood Carnotaurus models are named Li Zhong and Zhou Tong. They are essentially the same sculpt, only the colour schemes are different. They are both exceptional models and each has an articulated jaw. We are looking forward to receiving this pair of dinosaur models into stock.”

New Haolonggood Baryonyx Dinosaur Models

By Mike|2024-01-15T10:34:29+00:00January 14th, 2024|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The Haolonggood shipment has been delayed by three days as the container vessel has diverted away from the Red Sea. The current unrest in the region is causing shipping companies to divert vessels away from the area. Everything Dinosaur aims to have the new Haolonggood figures in stock by the end of this month. The new arrivals will include the fantastic Haolonggood Baryonyx models.

Haolonggood Baryonyx figures. New for 2024 Haolonggood dinosaur models. — *The new Haolonggood Baryonyx figures will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in early 2024.*

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that numerous ships were having to take longer routes to avoid the Red Sea. Many container vessels will be delayed.

Haolonggood Baryonyx Models

The two new for 2024 Haolonggood Baryonyx dinosaur models are named Shan Ting and Wei Ding Guo. Both models have articulated jaws and are the same sculpt. However, they have different colour schemes. The Baryonyx model named Shan Ting has more grey colouring and subtle red colouration running across the top of the model. In contrast, Wei Ding Guo has more green and more prominent countershading.

Each figure is 26 cm long with a declared scale of 1:35. At this size, the scale measurements suggest a dinosaur in excess of nine metres in length. This is within the parameters suggested by palaeontologists for Baryonyx walkeri, based on the London Natural History Museum specimen (NHMUK VP R9951).

The Baryonyx Holotype

The London Natural History Museum specimen represents the holotype for B. walkeri. The holotype was originally known as BMNH R9951, however, it was later re-catalogued as NHMUK VP R9951. It remains one of the most complete theropod fossil skeletons known from the UK. A cast of the Baryonyx fossil specimen is on display at the London Natural History Museum.

Baryonyx (B. walkeri) was formally named and described in 1986 (Charig and Milner). It remains the most complete fossil specimen of a spinosaurid found to date.
