Rebor Oddities Extinction Models

Rebor Oddities “Extinction” Victorian neoclassical marble and bronze version. A wonderful pair of limited-edition and highly detailed replicas of a Velociraptor in contemplation cast in elastic resin and polystone. The fantastic Rebor Oddities “Extinction” replicas. These figures are highly-prized collector’s items.

Holding a human skull, the Velociraptor is in deep thought sat upon a pile of books. Such is the detail in this fantastic replica that there are twenty-three books listed, one for each of our twenty-three pairs of chromosomes. The books are a combination of fiction and non-fiction and team members at Everything Dinosaur wrote a blog post in the autumn outlining the contents of this dinosaur’s extensive library.

To read our earlier article and to see the list of books featured in this remarkable statue: The Rebor “Extinction” Library.

Rebor Oddities “Extinction” Victorian Neoclassical Marble

Each display piece has been skilfully crafted, and we congratulate the design team at Rebor for producing such an inspirational pair of figures. These are certainly dinosaur models with a difference. Our personal favourite is the Rebor Oddities “Extinction” Victorian neoclassical marble figure, although we suspect both these incredible figures will prove to be extremely popular amongst collectors.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented.

“These are very innovative figures and quite striking. We have had lots of enquiries, not just from dinosaur fans and collectors but also from academics conducting research into various aspects of the human condition. Over the next day or so, we will be emailing all those who enquired and ensuring that they know that these limited-edition figures are available.”

The New Papo Kronosaurus Model

By Mike|2024-02-08T08:48:16+00:00December 12th, 2022|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur has received the official image from Papo of the new for 2023 Papo Kronosaurus model. Although no details of this new marine reptile figure have been published (information remains strictly embargoed), team members at Everything Dinosaur expect this figure to have an articulated jaw. It is due to be available around quarter 3 (July to September) of 2023.

A Marine Reptile with Barnacles

Eagle-eyed Papo model fans will note that there are some strange lumps and bumps visible on the upper arm, the top of the shoulder and along the leading edge of the front flipper. Everything Dinosaur has been able to use the official Papo image to gain a closer view of these features on the marine reptile model. The Kronosaurus has a colony of barnacles.

Parasites and Kronosaurus

Barnacles are a type of crustacean (Crustacea, from the Arthropoda phylum), they are often seen attached to the flippers and bodies of large whales. It is thought these whale barnacles evolved from barnacles that attached themselves to the carapace of marine turtles. Their evolutionary origins are indistinct, but it is believed that these types of parasitic barnacle evolved during the Cretaceous, so it is quite feasible to imagine a large marine reptile acting as a symbiont (living together) with a colony of stalkless barnacles, although they do seem relatively rare in the Early Cretaceous fossil record, before radiating and becoming more specious during the Late Cretaceous. As the fossil record of barnacles dates back to the Carboniferous, an Early Cretaceous marine giant such as Kronosaurus queenslandicus may have picked up some of these parasites as it patrolled the sea that covered much of what is now Australia approximately 115 million years ago.

Papo Kronosaurus Model

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Whilst we can’t be certain about the presence of barnacles on a Kronosaurus, these apex predators probably suffered from many different types of parasite. It is great to see Papo adding a replica of another type of marine reptile to their model range.”

The spokesperson also confirmed that the Papo Kronosaurus figure was due in stock around quarter 3 (July to September) of 2023.

The New Papo Mosasaurus Model

By Mike|2024-02-08T08:51:53+00:00December 9th, 2022|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur has received the official images for the new for 2023 Papo figures including the new Papo Mosasaurus model. We are now also able to confirm the model’s measurements. The Papo Mosasaurus is due in stock at Everything Dinosaur in early 2023.

Papo Mosasaurus Model

Originally scheduled to be introduced in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Papo Mosasaurus model was delayed and is now due to be released next year (early 2023). Many manufacturers have experienced problems with production, partly caused by issues arising from the global pandemic. However, Papo intend to introduce a total of four new figures into their “Les Dinosaures” range next year.

Two dinosaurs (Concavenator and Einiosaurus) are due to come out along with a second marine reptile model (Kronosaurus). There are also two product reissues (Archaeopteryx and Woolly Rhino).

To read more about the new for 2023 Papo figures: Papo Prehistoric Animal Models for 2023.

Mosasaurus Model Measurements

Model measurements have been released by Papo for the new Mosasaurus figure. It will be 25.5 cm in length. The official Papo information also states that the Mosasaurus will be 15 cm in width with a height of 11 cm. We suspect that the width measurement has been taken across the front flippers and the height measurement refers to the height of the tail fluke off the ground.

The Papo Mosasaurus marine reptile model is due in stock at Everything Dinosaur early in 2023.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Fans’ Choice Medusaceratops

By Mike|2022-12-05T16:19:56+00:00December 5th, 2022|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The new Beasts of the Mesozoic Fans’ Choice Medusaceratops model is in stock at Everything Dinosaur. This beautiful, articulated replica of Medusaceratops lokii is one of the latest horned dinosaur figures in the Beasts of the Mesozoic model series to arrive at Everything Dinosaur’s UK warehouse.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Fans’ Choice Medusaceratops

Fossils of Medusaceratops (M. lokii) are known from Upper Cretaceous deposits of Montana (USA). A member of the centrosaurine clade of horned dinosaurs, Medusaceratops roamed North America around 78 million years ago (Campanian faunal stage of the Late Cretaceous). Palaeontologists estimate that this large herbivore grew to a length in excess of six metres and it might have weighed more than three tonnes.

Astonishing Artwork

As with all the amazing Beasts of the Mesozoic models, the box artwork has been praised. The superb illustration of a resting Medusaceratops was created by Raph Lomotan.
