The Artwork on PNSO Prehistoric Animal Packaging

There are always lots of people willing to provide a review of a dinosaur or prehistoric animal model. At Everything Dinosaur, we take lots of photographs and videos of models however, today, we want to focus on another aspect of prehistoric animal model collecting, the product packaging. Recently Everything Dinosaur brought in new for 2019 PNSO models and figures and the artwork on the packaging, the box art is superb.

New for 2019 PNSO Prehistoric Animal Models – Great Models Great Artwork

PNSO Models

PNSO has long been associated with the scientific art world of the famous Chinese palaeoartist Zhao Chuang and this box art certainly reflects the high standards we have come to expect from him.

The box art helps to bring out the fine detail and skilful painting of the prehistoric animal figures. The PNSO model range has certainly grown in the last two years or so, Everything Dinosaur team members have played a role in helping to develop and promote this product line and it is wonderful to see the fine artwork of Chinese illustrators being showcased in this manner.

As well as introducing figure collectors to a whole new selection of prehistoric animals, many of which represent dinosaurs that are very rarely, if ever, made into models, the packaging helps to reinforce the concept of palaeoart and the importance of scientific illustration.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We get lots of enquires about how to develop a career in scientific illustration, we do our best to offer advice and support. PNSO have demonstrated that palaeoart is very important to them and these new prehistoric animals and their packaging reflects this commitment.”

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We have been working with PNSO for several years now on this exciting prehistoric animal model range. The number of models in production has certainly increased and with the addition of these new figures, we have in stock around seventy-five PNSO prehistoric animals, ranging in size from a few centimetres in length to giant replicas such as Nick the Ceratosaurus, the 1:35 scale scientific art Mamenchisaurus and Brook the Ophthalmosaurus that measures nearly half a metre in length.”

PNSO Eurhinosaurus Marine Reptile Model

The talented model makers at PNSO have also added to the range of ichthyosaur models that they offer. The company produced a small Himalayasaurus for their “Age of Dinosaurs Toys” range, Himalayasaurus was a giant, Triassic ichthyosaur. In addition, Brook the Ophthalmosaurus was introduced last year. Making it a trio of ichthyosaurs is a replica of the Early Jurassic Eurhinosaurus, regarded as perhaps one of the fastest swimming marine reptiles to have evolved.

Levy the Eurhinosaurus. — Levy the Eurhinosaurus ichthyosaur model from PNSO. Fossil finds from Early Jurassic rocks from Europe suggest that this ichthyosaur reached lengths of around 6.5 metres and was a very fast swimming marine reptile.

Team members have promised to post up more pictures and to shoot some more short videos of this exciting PNSO prehistoric animal model collection.

Eofauna Deinotherium and News About the Eofauna Atlasaurus

Eofauna Deinotherium and Eofauna Atlasaurus

There is so much to do these days at Everything Dinosaur, for example, we have received stocks of the new Deinotherium model (Eofauna Scientific Research). So, in between informing all our customers on our priority reserve lists and getting this model on-line, we have all been very busy. However, we have received a number of requests to put up pictures of the model and to shoot a short video. We took photographs and these were posted up onto our various social media platforms yesterday.

Eofauna Deinotherium Video

As promised, we did make a brief video showing the model…

The video, taken in our new video and photographic studio shows a brief glimpse of the model. It allows viewers to appreciate the size, of this, the fourth replica to have been produced by Eofauna Scientific Research in their model range.

To read the article featuring the Eofauna Deinotherium replica with the studio photographs that we took: Eofauna Scientific Research Deinotherium Model is in Stock.

For the moment, we are restricted in the type of videos that we can produce. We intend to produce much longer model reviews as well as updates about new models being developed and such like in the future. However, for the time being this short video plus our photographs will have to be enough to whet the appetites of prehistoric animal model collectors.

What About the Eofauna Scientific Research Atlasaurus?

The Eofauna Scientific Research Atlasaurus model is coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur in the next few weeks or so. This is the second dinosaur figure that Eofauna have created after their beautifully crafted Giganotosaurus model.

Eofauna Scientific Research Deinotherium Model is in Stock

The new for 2019 Eofauna Scientific Research Deinotherium model is in stock at Everything Dinosaur. The Deinotherium becomes the fourth figure to be added to Eofauna’s range, it joins a Steppe Mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii) and a Straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon antiquus), as extinct members of the Order Proboscidea to be represented in this exciting portfolio of prehistoric animal replicas.

Complete with Deinotherium Data Card

The Deinotherium prehistoric elephant model comes complete with a data card. Everything Dinosaur team members have been assisting Eofauna Scientific Research with the text associated with their models. Purchases of this figure from Everything Dinosaur will also be accompanied by a fact sheet on Deinotherium giganteum complied by our staff. Our fact sheet also includes a scale drawing so that readers can assess the true size of this extinct member of the elephant family.

Model Measurements

The Deinotherium replica measures around 20 centimetres in length and it stands around 13 centimetres high. This beautifully detailed model has been developed based on analysis of actual fossil material and the Eofauna range of replicas is rapidly becoming a firm favourite amongst model and figure collectors.

The texture on the skin has been carefully crafted and the paint job is excellent, particularly the work on those downward pointing tusks which have a roughened and weathered look to them. The downward pointing tusks were used by these prehistoric elephants in a variety of ways.

The Everything Dinosaur website: Everything Dinosaur.

The tusks probably served a variety of functions to assist with feeding. For example, some palaeontologists suggest that the tusks were used to excavate tubers and roots. Other scientists have proposed that the tusks were used to help to scrape bark from trees. The curved tusks would have made very effective hooks to help Deinotherium pull at tree branches, from which they could strip the leaves.

The Fabulous TetZooCon 2019 Event

TetZooCon 2019

Just a few more sleeps until the start of the annual TetZooCon event in London. This is the meeting of fans of the tetrapods (living and extinct), amphibians and the amniotes (reptiles, birds and mammals). Once again Everything Dinosaur is delighted to announce that we will be sponsoring this prestigious meeting themed around the world-renowned blog Tetrapod Zoology.

TetZooCon 2019

TetZooCon is bigger and better than ever and it takes place on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th October at the spacious “The Venue” in Malet Street, London. Speakers from the TetZooCon universe will be presenting on topics as diverse as whale strandings, the diseases of theropod dinosaurs, natural history film making and hunting with eagles. Amongst the activities there will be a quiz and Everything Dinosaur has donated the prizes.

Conservation and Cryptozoology

The two-day conference covers a variety of special interests, from conservation projects looking into the demise of UK amphibian populations to using citizen science to investigate the impact of roadkill. There is a lot for cryptozoologists too. Cryptozoology looks at the evidence to prove the existence of animals from myths, legends and folklore, such as the Mokele-mbembe from the Congo Basin of Africa, which some believe to be a type of sauropod dinosaur. Conference organiser Darren Naish, an authority on the subject, will be taking time out from his duties at the event to sell and sign copies of his latest book – “The Cryptozoologicon (Volume 1)” – the biology, evolution and mythology of hidden animals. TetZooCon will include plenty of time to meet authors, peruse their publications and to get some favourite copies signed.

Everything Dinosaur has Prepared Slide Shows for the Event

A Haven for Palaeoart and Palaeoartists

Talented artist and fellow organiser John Conway will be leading some of the exciting palaeoart activities and workshops. Noted luminaries in the world of prehistoric illustration will be attending such as Bob Nicholls and Beth Windle will be leading a discussion on “women in palaeoart”. This annual event is turning into a haven for palaeoart and palaeoartists, the extensive social media coverage will give plenty of opportunity to all those unable to attend to view and appreciate the artwork and scientific illustrations on display.

The quiz might even feature a Beasts of the Mesozoic model or two. We could not possibly comment, other than to say that as the exclusive distributors for this exciting range of articulated collectible figures, they epitomise the link between beautiful scientific illustration and imaginative scale models. On the subject of scale models, look for a presentation by Agata Stachowiak on how to produce accurate models of prehistoric animals – fascinating stuff.

New Rebor Komodo Dragon Preparations

By Mike|2023-12-31T11:35:39+00:00October 13th, 2019|Categories: Adobe CS5, Animal News Stories, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Rebor GrabNGo Komodo Dragon Preparations

Team members at Everything Dinosaur are busy preparing for the arrival of the next new Rebor model, the GrabNGo Komodo dragon figure in 1/6th scale. This model has created quite a lot of interest from herpetologists – those scientists and academics that specialise in the study of amphibians and reptiles.

We have it on good authority that this new Rebor figure has even been discussed at the prestigious Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP), annual meeting in Brisbane, a sizeable reservation list for this lizard replica has been built up over the last few weeks and Everything Dinosaur staff will be very busy contacting all these customers when the models arrive next month.

The picture (above), shows production samples ready to be sent out to zookeepers and specialists. We are not sure what the collective noun for a group of Komodo dragons is called (we have been told it is a “bank of Komodos”), but who knows. Rebor commented that when all the models were put together it reminded them of Billingsgate fish market, all we know is that the figures look splendid and we are looking forward to receiving our stock in just a few weeks’ time.

One of the models is being used to help us design a new cardboard box for use as packaging. The model is so long (around 50 cm in length), that we are having to commission a special, double-walled cardboard box to accommodate this model and to provide protection when it is sent out to customers.

Limited-edition Papo Spinosaurus Model Delayed until December (2019)

The eagerly anticipated limited-edition Papo Spinosaurus dinosaur model has been delayed until December (2019), according to information from Papo received by team members at Everything Dinosaur.

No reasons have been given for the delay and we don’t want to speculate about the reasons for this delay at this stage. However, all our plans are in place to contact all those people who reserved a model, everything is ready at Everything Dinosaur for the arrival of this figure. As soon as it comes in, we will be in touch with all those customers on our reserve lists, even if it means bringing in extra staff to ensure swift communications, at what will be, our busiest time of the year.”

Exciting Rebor Scout Models in Stock

By Mike|2024-05-11T17:15:24+01:00October 8th, 2019|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

The Scouts Return – “Melon”, “Hazelnut” and “Stan”

Everything Dinosaur has three of the very popular and very collectable Rebor Scout models back in stock. Our warehouse has received deliveries of “Melon” the baby Stegosaurus, “Hazelnut” the baby Triceratops and “Stan” the baby Velociraptor. Fans of the Rebor range will know that the Velociraptor figure is named after the Academy Award-winning special effects creator Stanley “Stan” Winston, who worked on the first three films of the “Jurassic Park” movie franchise.

Rebor Scout Models “Melon” and “Hazelnut”

Team members at Everything Dinosaur are not sure why the baby Stegosaurus and the baby Triceratops were named “Melon” and ” Hazelnut” respectively, however, why not give these two, highly detailed figures these names? It seems that unlike scientific nomenclature, anything goes when it comes to creating prehistoric animal replicas. Both the Rebor baby Triceratops and its Stegosaurus counterpart are in approximately 1:35 scale, whilst the Rebor Velociraptor figure is in 1:18 scale.

A Baby Stegosaurus Dinosaur Model

Fans of the Rebor model range will be aware of the potential for a new Stegosaurus replica from this company in the near future. For the time being, the sole representative of the Stegosauridae is this beautifully crafted figure that comes with its own display base.

A Baby Triceratops Dinosaur Model

The Triceratops figure “Hazelnut” is around the same size as the Stegosaurus (approximately 11 cm in length). It too, comes with a display base and it makes a great addition to any prehistoric animal model collection.

Rebor Scout Models

It is the attention to detail that makes these Rebor models stand out. Take for example, the display base that accompanies the 1:18 scale baby Velociraptor figure “Stan”. The base has footprint depressions that act as a guide to help dinosaur fans position their figure correctly. The footprints on the base have been carefully sculpted to represent what are thought to be dromaeosaurid prints found in the fossil record. We are sure ichnologists will approve!

PNSO Megalodon Model – More Information

By Mike|2023-12-30T20:40:12+00:00October 4th, 2019|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

PNSO Megalodon Model – More Information

At Everything Dinosaur, we try our best to respond to all the enquiries, questions and emails that we receive from our customers. This is no mean feat considering the thousands of customers we have all over the world, but we do try hard to answer all the queries in a timely fashion. For example, having produced a short video featuring the large Megalodon (Carcharocles megalodon) replica from PNSO, we were asked to show more details of this shark model. To this end, within 24-hours, we produced another brief video showing the prehistoric shark model in greater detail.

The PNSO Large Megalodon Model – Showcasing “Patton” the Megalodon

PNSO Megalodon “Patton” Large Prehistoric Shark Model

In this short video presentation, we reaffirm the model’s size (it measures around 32 centimetres in length), we estimate the model’s scale at approximately 1:50 based on the length of Carcharocles megalodon at around 16 metres. In addition, we highlight the “battle scarring” on the model and discuss the figure’s gloss finish. Large predators tend to pick up a variety of injuries, we suspect Megalodon was no exception. If it preyed on marine mammals, we expect creatures such as Obobenocetops which was contemporaneous with this prehistoric shark, not to succumb without putting up a fight. Scars and tears in the fins would be just part of being an apex predator.

Our latest prehistoric animal themed video is now up on the company’s YouTube channel. Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube channel features over a hundred different prehistoric animal model reviews and lots of other helpful information for model collectors and dinosaur fans.

Discover Everything Dinosaur on YouTube and please subscribe: Everything Dinosaur on YouTube.

A Glossy Model with a Superb Wash

In this short video, we also comment on the finish of this shark replica. The new version of “Patton” (the large PNSO Megalodon figure), has a glossier finish than its predecessor. The model’s seams are much less visible and the addition of a gloss provides a pleasing wet-look finish to the figure. As the video narrator remarked, the wet-look is very appropriate given the fact that this is a model of a marine animal.

Please note this genus binomial name has been revised to Otodus megalodon.
