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.

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!

Visit the company’s award-winning website: Museum Quality Prehistoric Animal Models.

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.”

Sue from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“It’s a team effort!  The amount of work that has gone into planning and creating this remarkable range of figures is incredible.  If you want to make amazing prehistoric animals, then you require an amazing team.”

The Everything Dinosaur website: Prehistoric Animal Models.

Recently, Everything Dinosaur asked its customers and social media followers an important question.  Where would you like the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range to go next?  Our aim with this new range is to truly engage with customers.  It would be wonderful if customers had a say in how a range of prehistoric animal figures was developed.  Now you can, thanks to Mike and Sue at Everything Dinosaur.

We are asking dinosaur model fans to tell us which prehistoric animal models we should make next.  A poll asks respondents to vote for their preferred geological formation.  Customers can help us to decide which models we make after we have introduced the four figures in the Hell Creek Series.

Examining the Biota of Five Famous Fossil Bearing Locations

Customers have been asked to vote in a poll.  The poll lists five famous dinosaur fossil bearing locations.  Which of these locations should we explore next?

Here is a handy guide:

• Morrison Formation (Upper Jurassic) with a typical dinosaur biota consisting of Allosaurus spp. Dryosaurus altus, Camptosaurus dispar, sauropods, Stegosaurus and Ceratosaurus.
• Wessex Formation (Lower Cretaceous) – Neovenator salerii, Polacanthus foxi, Eotyrannus lengi, iguanodontids, hypsilophodonts.
• Kem Kem Beds (Lower Cretaceous) with Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, crocodyliforms, Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, Deltadromeus agilis, Rebbachisaurus garasbae.
• The Hateg Basin (Upper Cretaceous) a unique prehistoric island biota with azhdarchid pterosaurs, dwarf titanosaurs, Struthiosaurus transylvanicus, Balaur bondoc.
• Cedar Mountain (Lower Cretaceous) Falcarius utahensis, Utahraptor ostrommaysi, Moabosaurus utahensis.

Of course, there are many other geological formations to explore.  For instance, we have not mentioned any Cenozoic or Palaeozoic formations.  Indeed, the prehistoric animals listed in association with each formation may not be the final range of figures we produce.  However, this is all about giving customers a say.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Let’s give customers the opportunity to have some input!  We want to hear from you.  Which geological formation should we explore, and which prehistoric animal models should we make?  This is about providing genuine two-way communication. Furthermore, we greatly value your feedback.”

Filled to Capacity

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution Launch held at the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival was a huge success! The Driftwood Café was filled to capacity.  We were informed that around two dozen eager dinosaur fans had to be turned away as there was no more room at the venue.  Indeed, there were standing spectators at the back.  The room was jam-packed.  Mike was so busy and pre-occupied that he forgot to take some photographs.

Our thanks to Dr Dean Lomax for the images featured in this blog post.

What a fabulous Fossil Festival!  Our thanks to everyone who visited our stand at the Lister Gardens marquee, Sue and I were extremely busy over the two days of the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival.  It was a wonderful location to officially launch our new range of scientifically accurate prehistoric animal models.  We had the first figure, a Tyrannosaurus rex on display.  In addition, we had brought some of the prototype model packaging too.

Collaborators Dr Dean Lomax, Bob Nicholls and Glen Southern visited our stand.  It was the first time that they had seen the packaging and a production figure.  We were so busy that Sue and I did not have time to take any photographs.  Our thanks to everyone who sent in pictures.

Evolution Unearthed at Fossil Festival

It was definitely a case of “Evolution Unearthed” as we officially launched this new range of beautiful, scientifically accurate prehistoric animal figures.  Furthermore, we had a poll asking visitors to help us decide where we go next after the Hell Creek Formation collection is completed.  Over the course of the two days, we had a vote every seventy-five seconds.  Our stand was extremely popular!

Sue from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Lyme Regis was a fabulous location for us to give Everything Dinosaur Evolution its official debut.  The town is synonymous with both palaeontology and geology.    Our new range of models aims to inform and educate, and the Earth sciences are at the heart of everything we do.  It was wonderful to be able to channel my inner Mary Anning as I talked about how the fossil record shaped the design and development of our T. rex, its display base and the product packaging.”
