The Popular Papo Giganotosaurus

By Mike|2024-03-19T08:02:18+00:00October 24th, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Papo Giganotosaurus Dinosaur Model

Everything Dinosaur team members are preparing to announce more new prehistoric animal models for 2021 from our various manufacturing partners. However, we are aware that there is some unfinished business when it comes to new figures and replicas for this year (2020). We are currently working on a YouTube video that will inform viewers about the latest situation surrounding Papo model production and their six new prehistoric animals that were scheduled to be introduced over the last few months.

More Prehistoric Animal Models

The Papo Giganotosaurus model is one of five dinosaur models that were due to be introduced in 2020. The other models are a replica of Chilesaurus, Stygimoloch and new colour variants of the Papo feathered Velociraptor and the Parasaurolophus.

Production was disrupted and we are still waiting to receive the feathered Velociraptor as well as the magnificent Megaloceros model, but we are confident that we the remaining figures will be in stock before Christmas. Ironically, the Megaloceros model was originally planned to be the first of the new for 2020 replicas to be introduced (May 2020), but the global COVID-19 pandemic led to a change in production plans.

The Giganotosaurus figure stands approximately twenty centimetres tall and it is around 18 centimetres long. It features in a new YouTube video that Everything Dinosaur team members have been working on entitled “Papo in Perspective”.

In this new video, due to be published shortly, team members at Everything Dinosaur review the Papo Giganotosaurus model and provide information about recent Papo retirements and ask viewers to suggest new prehistoric animal models for the French company to make for introducing in 2022.

The Influence of Zdeněk Burian

In the video review, we look at the influence of the famous Czech artist Zdeněk Burian on the design team at Papo. For example, the pose of the Giganotosaurus reminded team members of a 1950 illustration of the palaeofauna of the Morrison Formation painted by Burian. The theropod in the painting Antrodemus valens, is now thought to be nomen dubium, the fossil material previously ascribed to this doubtful genus most likely representing an Allosaurus.

A New Model from Eofauna Scientific Research

Those dedicated and talented team members at Eofauna Scientific Research will be introducing a new prehistoric animal model in 2021. A teaser campaign has been launched. As with previous product announcements from this amazing model-making company, there is no instant reveal, instead today, we see the start of a teaser campaign.

Six of the Best Prehistoric Animal Models

At present, there are five prehistoric animal figures in the Eofauna Scientific Research range. The first model to be introduced was the Steppe Mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii) in the autumn of 2017. This stunning 1/40th scale model was followed a few months later by a beautiful 1/35th scale replica of a Straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon antiquus).

Fans of dinosaur models did not have long to wait, as the third figure to be introduced was Giganotosaurus (Giganotosaurus carolinii), which came out in January 2019. In October of that year, the third model of a prehistoric proboscidean was launched – a 1/35th scale model of a Deinotherium (Deinotherium giganteum). The excitement had hardly subsided, when just a few weeks later, a fifth model was introduced, a replica of the Middle Jurassic sauropod Atlasaurus (A. imelakei).

The Current Range of Eofauna Scientific Research Models – Another Addition Coming Soon

Eofauna Scientific Research Models

Here is a summary of the figures introduced to date:

Steppe Mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii) launched autumn 2017.
Straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon antiquus) launched summer 2018.
Giganotosaurus (Giganotosaurus carolinii) launched January 2019.
Deinotherium (Deinotherium giganteum) launched October 2019.
Atlasaurus dinosaur model (Atlasaurus imelakei) launched November 2019.

What is the sixth model in the series? From the one image released so far there is not much to go on, but have a guess?

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We had known about this figure for some time, but it is always exciting for us when we can post up teaser images about a new introduction from this fascinating and highly detailed series. We look forward to sharing more pictures with our fans and followers and of course participating in the “big reveal” in the very near future.”

The New PNSO Caroline the Corythosaurus Dinosaur Model

By Mike|2024-03-19T06:56:58+00:00October 22nd, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

PNSO Caroline the Corythosaurus Dinosaur Model

PNSO have added another replica of a famous North American duck-billed dinosaur to their mid-sized model range. Recently, Everything Dinosaur revealed that a Lambeosaurus was being introduced. Today we announce a figure named Caroline the Corythosaurus. It has been revealed this morning with Everything Dinosaur and PNSO co-ordinating the release of images of this, the latest edition to the PNSO prehistoric animal model portfolio. Everything Dinosaur will be stocking this model and we hope to announce very soon when this model will be available.

A Graceful Corythosaurus Dinosaur Model

This beautifully designed hadrosaur with its long slender legs gives the impression of a very graceful dinosaur. The proportions of the forelimbs in relation to the hind legs reflect the extensive fossil material associated with this genus. Regarded as a facultative biped (walking on all fours, but capable of adopting a bipedal stance when required, for example to flee from a predator), this dinosaur is estimated to have weighed more than three tonnes and reached a body length in excess of nine metres.

The New PNSO Caroline the Corythosaurus Measures 27 cm Long

PNSO Caroline the Corythosaurus model. — *The PNSO Caroline the Corythosaurus dinosaur model is approximately 27 cm long and that beautiful “helmet” is around 10.5 cm off the ground.*

As the PNSO Caroline the Corythosaurus measures approximately twenty-seven centimetres long, it can be suggested that this figure is in approximately 1:33 scale, although PNSO does not officially declare a scale for their mid-sized model range.

A Stunning Replica of “Helmet Lizard”

The first species of Corythosaurus (C. casuarius), was formerly named and described in 1914 (Barnum Brown). It is known from numerous skeletons including complete skulls, all of which are associated with Late Cretaceous (Campanian faunal stage) strata of Alberta, Canada. That famous semicircular skull crest has been painted a combination of seafoam green and orange. This is a stunning replica of “helmet lizard”.

*A close-up view of the carefully crafted head of the PNSO Corythosaurus dinosaur model.*

A Green-eyed Corythosaurus Dinosaur Model

Eagle-eyed dinosaur model collectors will note that this model is number 28 in the series, whereas Gaoyuan the Microraptor, which will be available from Everything Dinosaur around mid-November is model number 29. The PNSO Tuojiangosaurus replica we announced on October 16th, 2020 is model number 34. From this, it can be deduced that more PNSO models are likely to follow. Rest assured model collectors, Everything Dinosaur team members will do their best to keep you up to date with new PNSO figures.

The New PNSO Audrey the Lambeosaurus Dinosaur Model

By Mike|2024-03-19T06:45:35+00:00October 19th, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

PNSO Audrey the Lambeosaurus Dinosaur Model

Everything Dinosaur announces the introduction of a new model into the PNSO mid-size range of replicas – Audrey the Lambeosaurus dinosaur model. In a co-ordinated media release with PNSO, our team members are able to post up pictures of this, a most impressive duck-billed dinosaur model, a representation of a hadrosaur that roamed North America during the Late Cretaceous.

The PNSO Audrey the Lambeosaurus Dinosaur Model

A Complicated History

The Lambeosaurus genus was formally erected by the Canadian palaeontologist and geologist William Parks in 1923. The genus name honours another famous Canadian pioneer of palaeontology in the province of Alberta – Lawrence Lambe, who inadvertently contributed to the rather puzzling and complicated assessment of the hadrosaurids of Laramidia, with a number of genera being erected in the early years of the 20th century. This led to subsequent revisions and reassessments of the wealth of fossil material related to crested hadrosaurs.

Today, three species of Lambeosaurus are recognised by most palaeontologists. The taxonomic history of the Lambeosaurini tribe is certainly complicated.

The PNSO Lambeosaurus Dinosaur Model

The PNSO Lambeosaurus has been painted in subtle green hues with orange and black on that striking head crest. The body, side of the head, neck, flanks, tail and limbs have a reticulated pattern overlaying the countershading. PNSO have produced an eye-catching replica of a huge herbivorous dinosaur.

The Model Measures 24.5 cm Long (Approximately)

The mid-sized range of prehistoric animals made by PNSO has expanded rapidly. Everything Dinosaur has already produced a number of blog articles announcing new figures in this very popular series. Team members often get asked to provide a guide as to the scale of a dinosaur figure. PNSO do not declare a scale for this particular part of their prehistoric animal portfolio and there is some confusion as to which fossil remains represent Lambeosaurus or other closely related genera.

Some scientists have previously stated that Lambeosaurus could have been as long as fifteen metres, but the largest species from Canada have led to more conservative estimates of around nine metres in length. Based on a nine-metre-long adult specimen, it could be suggested that the PNSO Lambeosaurus is around 1:36 scale.

The New for 2020 PNSO Tuojiangosaurus

By Mike|2024-03-18T07:24:59+00:00October 16th, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

PNSO Tuojiangosaurus

Those dedicated and enthusiastic people at PNSO have been very busy over the summer months. We are beginning to see the fruits of their labour, as over the next few weeks or so we will be sharing news about new model releases from this exciting company. Gaoyuan, the iridescent Microraptor model is already on its way to us, We are expecting our next shipment of PNSO prehistoric animals to arrive at our warehouse next month and today, (October 16th, 2020), we can officially announce that we will be stocking a Tuojiangosaurus model.

The Latest Stegosaur Figure to Join the PNSO Range

PNSO Tuojiangosaurus dinosaur model is part of what we refer to as the PNSO mid-size model range.

Tuojiangosaurus multispinus

This Late Jurassic herbivore was the first stegosaur to be discovered in China, it is wonderful to have a Chinese model manufacturer introducing some replicas of iconic Chinese dinosaurs. The exact taxonomic position of Tuojiangosaurus within the stegosaur family tree has been controversial, but most palaeontologists recognise it to be a member (somewhat derived), of the Stegosauridae, the family named after Stegosaurus, one of the most instantly recognisable dinosaurs of them all!

The PNSO Tuojiangosaurus Dinosaur Model

A New Tuojiangosaurus Model

Introduced to Chinese distributors a few hours ago, Everything Dinosaur team members are happy to post up official pictures of this Chinese armoured dinosaur, a member of the Stegosauridae that was officially named and described in 1977, exactly 100 years after the American palaeontologist Othniel Charles Marsh erected the Stegosaurus genus. The Morrison Formation of the western United States might have been home to Stegosaurus (as well as other types of armoured dinosaur, even basal ankylosaurs), but many academics believe that the Stegosauria clade originated in Asia.

Not the First PNSO Tuojiangosaurus Model

This is not the first Tuojiangosaurus figure that PNSO have produced. Collectors may be aware of the PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Tuojiangosaurus model, which was one of the original figures in this series launched by the Chinese company.

The PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Tuojiangosaurus Model

*The PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Tuojiangosaurus figure.*

The smaller figures tend to be more brightly coloured, whereas the mid-size models such as the new T. multispinus replica tend to have more muted colour schemes. This dinosaur model is also available from Everything Dinosaur.

The Beautiful PNSO Gaoyuan the Microraptor Model

By Mike|2024-03-18T07:22:20+00:00October 14th, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

PNSO Gaoyuan the Microraptor Model

Everything Dinosaur will be stocking the beautiful PNSO Gaoyuan Microraptor model. This excellent dinosaur figure with its iridescent feathers will be in stock in a few weeks, around the middle of November (2020). This is the first, of what will be a series of new prehistoric animals introduced by PNSO over the next few weeks and months.

The PNSO Gaoyuan the Microraptor Model Will Be in Stock at Everything Dinosaur in a Few Weeks

A Spectacular Model of a Feathered Dinosaur

In 2019, PNSO introduced their first version of this feathered, flying (most probably) dinosaur. The original Gaoyuan the Microraptor from PNSO is smaller than the new version, it measures a little under eleven centimetres long, whilst the 2020 Gaoyuan is around twenty centimetres in length.

PNSO Gaoyuan the Microraptor. — The PNSO Microraptor figure, new for 2020 swoops into view. This is one of the official images sent to Everything Dinosaur by the Chinese company. The new for 2020 PNSO Microraptor figure is around twice as long as the 2019 PNSO Microraptor model.

Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur

This figure is slightly longer than the CollectA Deluxe 1:6 scale Microraptor that came into stock at Everything Dinosaur earlier this year. Both the CollectA Deluxe Microraptor and this new version from PNSO have a twelve centimetre wingspan. Therefore, although the mid-size models from PNSO do not have a declared scale, it could be suggested that the PNSO Gaoyuan Microraptor model is also around 1/6th scale.

PNSO Gaoyuan the Microraptor with Iridescent Plumage

An analysis of Microraptor fossil feathers undertaken by a joint Chinese and American team in 2012 revealed that this small dromaeosaurid dinosaur had glossy, iridescent feathers, like that of a modern crow (Corvidae). The study also demonstrated that the narrow tail was adorned with a pair of streamer feathers, suggesting feathers originally evolved for display, rather than flight. This is the earliest record of iridescence in feathers.

The PNSO Gaoyuan the Microraptor figure reflects the very latest research into this enigmatic member of the Dromaeosauridae.

*The beautiful PNSO Gaoyuan Microraptor model. The model reflects the very latest research on the Microraptor genus.*

The Everything Dinosaur website: Everything Dinosaur.

Recently, a scientific paper was published postulating that Microraptor moulted, shedding and replacing its feathers in a very similar fashion to a modern bird.

To read an article about the evidence for sequential moulting in Microraptor (M. gui): Microraptor Moulted Just Like a Modern Bird.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We know that the enthusiastic team at PNSO are working on a number of new dinosaur and prehistoric animal figures at the moment. With this new Microraptor figure, model collectors have the opportunity to add to their feathered dinosaur model collection.”

This model will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur around the middle of November (2020).

Everything Dinosaur stocks a huge range of PNSO figures, to view the models and to see the first PNSO Microraptor: PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models and Figures.

Ichthyosaurus and Plesiosaurus Soft Toys

Everything Dinosaur stocks a large range of prehistoric animal soft toys. We like to refer to all these soft and cuddly creatures as our “prehistoric plush”. Joining our portfolio of prehistoric animals are a pair of marine reptile soft toys. Everything Dinosaur has added another Plesiosaurus soft toy and we have also been able to bring in a special Ichthyosaurus as well. Two wonderful examples of Mesozoic themed soft toys and they are super-sized too!

Beautifully Textured Marine Reptile Soft Toys

Team members at Everything Dinosaur have been asked to comment on the scales visible on the image above. We have been emailed several times about this subject and we can confirm that although the fossil record suggests that ichthyosaurs had streamlined bodies that lacked large scales, the texture of the soft toy does show lots of different sized scales. There are also subtle hues of greys and browns within the fabric. This is one very tactile example of prehistoric plush!

Papo in Perspective – YouTube Video

By Mike|2024-03-17T09:59:15+00:00October 11th, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur Presents “Papo in Perspective”

The next YouTube video that Everything Dinosaur has planned is a perspective on how Everything Dinosaur works with the French model and figure manufacturer Papo. Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube channel might have over 180 videos on it, but we have never before discussed in detail a single model making company in one of our videos.

Putting Papo Models in Perspective

Normally we focus on model and replica reviews and over the years we have posted dozens of videos dedicated to one Papo model or another. However, let’s do something different and provide a perspective on some of their new for 2020 additions, consider potential retirements as well as revealing a sure-fire way to identify a legitimate Papo model supplier. In the video we take a detailed look at Papo models.

Providing Educational Video Reviews

At Everything Dinosaur, we hope to educate and inform when it comes to our video contents. There are lots of model reviews to be found on YouTube, however, we are the only company of our kind with a very real insight into the model making industry as well as the palaeontology behind fossil finds. You could say that Everything Dinosaur is uniquely placed to comment upon the science behind the design of prehistoric animal figures. Our YouTube channel contains lots of helpful videos about prehistoric animal models and figures. To visit our YouTube channel and to subscribe: Everything Dinosaur on YouTube.

The Question of the Day

In addition, to looking at Papo’s current crop of prehistoric animal figures, we know that model collectors will be eagerly anticipating new figures for 2021. Manufacturers have the plans well advanced, but just for a bit of fun, we shall challenge our YouTube subscribers and video reviewers to come up with suggestions as to what replicas Papo ought to consider making in 2022.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

” We always like to include a question or two in our video reviews and with our strong working relationship with Papo we thought it would be fun to challenge viewers to suggest what sort of figures Papo ought to make in 2022. There are more than fifty models in the Papo Les Dinosaures range, although not all of them are dinosaurs. There are certainly enough figures and replicas to inspire model collectors. We look forward to reviewing the suggestions and to passing them onto our pals at Papo. Team members are big fans of Papo models.”
