Haolonggood Announce New Giganotosaurus Models

By |2025-09-16T14:30:26+01:00September 16th, 2025|Categories: Haolonggood Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

Our chums at Haolonggood have announced that they will be introducing three Giganotosaurus figures.  The Haolonggood Giganotosaurus models will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur before the end of the year.  Each figure measures thirty-five centimetres in length.  Those beautiful nasal crests are some eleven centimetres off the ground.

Haolonggood will be introducing three Giganotosaurus colour variants. HLG-162 Giganotosaurus Guan Sheng (top), HLG-163 Giganotosaurus Lin Chong (middle) and the Haolonggood special colour version (HLG-165) bottom.

New Haolonggood Giganotosaurus Models

Each figure is the same sculpt.  Furthermore, each figure will have an articulated lower jaw. It is the paint schemes that vary.  To help collectors, we have included images of all three Haolonggood Giganotosaurus figures in this article.

The three models are:

  • HLG-162 Giganotosaurus Guan Sheng.
  • HLG-163 Giganotosaurus Lin Chong.
  • In addition, the Giganotosaurus Special Colour Version (HLG-165).

We suspect that the HLG-165 figure will only be available for a limited period.

A Special Colour Version of Giganotosaurus

Haolonggood usually produce a pair of figures. However, they intend to introduce a trio of Giganotosaurus models.  HLG-165 is the special colour version of Giganotosaurus carolinii.

The third Haolonggood Giganotosaurus figure to be featured in this article is HLG-165.  This is the special colour version.  At this time, we are not sure whether HLG-165 will be produced again.  Haolonggood tends to produce special editions, but these are only available for a limited time.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“I know dinosaur fans have been asking Haolonggood to make a Giganotosaurus model.  It is wonderful to see this trio of figures announced.  They will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur shortly.”

Haolonggood Iguanodon models are coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur. The inventory will include the brown coloured Iguanodon (Tao Zong Wang).

Mike commented that it was wonderful to see a modern interpretation of the second dinosaur to be scientifically described.  The two colour variants (grey and brown) are on the same shipment as the new Torosaurus and Shantungosaurus models.  The shipment is certainly ornithischian heavy!

Haolonggood Iguanodon Model Colour Variants

Although each version is the same sculpt, the colour schemes are very different.  Each Iguanodon has a different name.

  • Zheng Tian Shou – grey-coloured, 1:35 scale figure.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur added:

“We have stocked a large number of different Iguanodon models in the past.  This is one taxon that has been revised on numerous occasions.  The kangaroo stance may have gone, and we are back to depicting these Early Cretaceous herbivores as quadrupeds.  Perhaps, one day we will write a blog post highlighting how Iguanodon models have changed.”

The Delightful and Beautiful CollectA Furcatoceratops

By |2025-09-16T14:31:05+01:00September 1st, 2025|Categories: CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular and CollectA Prehistoric Life Models|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur team members took the opportunity to photograph delightful CollectA Furcatoceratops dinosaur model outdoors. This model represents Furcatoceratops elucidans. This dinosaur was scientifically described two years ago (Ishikawa et al). Its fossil remains come from the famous Judith River Formation of Montana. The holotype (NSM PV 24660) was first described ten years ago. The fossils were thought to represent the remains of an Averceratops (Averceratops lammersi). However, further study highlighted unique characteristics, and this led to the establishment of the Furcatoceratops genus.

The CollectA Furcatoceratops Dinosaur Model

The model is relatively small.  It measures a little under eleven and a half centimetres long (four and half inches).  The CollectA Furcatoceratops might be small, but it has some amazing details.  Our photographs highlight the different textures on the animal’s body.  In addition, the images demonstrate that some of the scales are much larger than others.  This reflects what is known about ceratopsian integument that has been preserved in the fossil record.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We took the opportunity of a break in the weather to take some photographs of our Furcatoceratops model outside.  It is a delightful figure of a ceratopsian.  CollectA have introduced numerous horned dinosaurs into their Age of Dinosaurs Popular range.  These dinosaur models help to demonstrate the incredible variety of North American Late Cretaceous ceratopsians.”

Two new PNSO models are now in stock at Everything Dinosaur.  They are Russo the Coronosaurus and Youran the Guizhouichthyosaurus.  The delivery arrived today and the PNSO shipment has been unloaded.  Coronosaurus is a Late Cretaceous centrosaurine.  In contrast, Guizhouichthyosaurus is an ichthyosaur known from the Late Triassic.  They make strange bedfellows.

Two New PNSO Models – Coronosaurus and Guizhouichthyosaurus

Coronosaurus (C. brinkmani) was originally thought to be a new species of Centrosaurus. However, in 2012 it was named as a separate genus (Ryan, Russell and Shepherd). Guizhouichthyosaurus lived tens of millions of years before Coronosaurus evolved. It was a large ichthyosaur around five metres in length, and it is known from extensive fossil remains found in southwestern China.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is great to see these two, PNSO figures in stock. We are busy contacting all those customers who wanted to be alerted when these two new figures arrived.  It is going to be a busy weekend.”

These are fabulous ceratopsian figures.  Fantastic replicas of these Late Cretaceous, giant chasmosaurines.  The debate as to whether Torosaurus (T. latus) represents an extremely mature Triceratops continues. However, most palaeontologists consider the Torosaurus taxon is valid.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Haolonggood have produced a wide range of horned dinosaur figures.  For example, Triceratops, Utahceratops, Chasmosaurus, Diabloceratops and Kosmoceratops.  These beautifully painted models have proved popular with dinosaur fans and collectors. We are looking forward to getting these two Torosaurus models into stock.”

The Ultimate Guide to Collecting Prehistoric Animal Models: A Fun Hobby for All Ages

By |2025-08-24T21:06:32+01:00August 7th, 2025|Categories: Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Collecting prehistoric animal models is more than a hobby. It is a gateway into the past, where Earth sciences and imagination meet. This pastime connects people of all ages, from children fascinated by dinosaurs to adults who build museum-quality displays and dioramas. Best of all, it is a hobby that grows with you.

Why Collect Prehistoric Animal Models?

First, collecting prehistoric animal models sparks curiosity. Every model tells a story about life in the past. You can hold a piece that represents prehistoric times in your hands. That sense of connection to the past is often palpable.

Secondly, the models bring learning to life. A child who collects dinosaur models gains more than toys. They gain knowledge about evolution, life in the past, ecosystems, and extinct species. Adults benefit too, by deepening their understanding of palaeontology and fossils.

Collecting is often thought of as something for young people. Yet this hobby proves otherwise. Adults rediscover their childhood fascination with prehistoric animals. Some go on to create serious collections featuring rare, scientifically accurate models.

For younger collectors, prehistoric animal figures inspire creativity and imagination. For older collectors, they offer relaxation, learning, and occasionally investment opportunities. The joy of collecting spans generations.

The Social Activity of Model Collecting

Another joy lies in the model collecting community. Collectors often share their finds online, in clubs, or at exhibitions. Conversations flow easily because the passion is shared. Collecting prehistoric animal models builds friendships that stretch across continents.  We are all enthusiasts.

How you enjoy your collection is up to you. Some collectors keep them in cabinets, arranged in precise geological order. Others create dioramas that bring ancient palaeoenvironments back to life. Children may prefer play, while adults may prefer to display. Both approaches are equally valid.

Mike from UK-based Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Collecting prehistoric animal figures is a hobby without limits. It is fun, educational, and inclusive. Whether you are eight or eighty, the thrill of ownership is the same. Each model brings you closer to the fascinating story of our planet.”

So, if you are looking for a hobby that inspires curiosity and sparks boundless joy, try collecting prehistoric animal models. It might just become a lifelong passion.

Unbox History with Innovative and Unique Packaging

By |2025-08-06T07:13:51+01:00August 5th, 2025|Categories: Everything Dinosaur Evolution|0 Comments

Time to unbox history!  The Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex dinosaur model has unique and innovative packaging. What’s more the tray that the model is packed in is fully compostable.  In addition, the cardboard packaging can be recycled.  We are on a journey to change the way prehistoric animal models are packaged.  No more single-use plastic bags, no more plastic trays.  In addition, our Tyrannosaurus rex is the first dinosaur model in the world to have a digital product passport.

It is time to change the world one dinosaur model at a time.

Unbox history! The Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex model is the first dinosaur model to have a digital product passport.

It’s Time to Unbox History

Today in Geneva, the United Nations meet to tackle plastic waste. While they debate, we act. Our plan is to package our range of scientifically accurate models without single-use plastic.  Indeed, we want to stop using all forms of rigid plastic packaging such as trays and inserts.  Our Tyrannosaurus rex comes in a fully compostable tray.  After all, history shouldn’t cost the Earth!

To view the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range and to pre-order your T. rex figure (whilst pre-order is running): Everything Dinosaur Evolution Models.

Designed and developed in the UK using cutting-edge technology.  Perhaps, one day all collectable dinosaur models will be packaged this way.

A Dinosaur with a Digital Product Passport

We’re also proud to launch what we believe is a world-first digital product passport for a dinosaur model, giving you details about design, science, and sustainability at your fingertips. A digital product passport (DPP) links a digital record to a physical, consumable product, detailing its lifecycle, manufacture, materials and environmental impact.  This technology is being rolled out across Europe.  Users will be able to access our dinosaur model’s DPP by scanning a smart QR code on the box.  In addition, a second smart QR code can be found on the collector card envelope inside the box.  The DPP provides transparency for customers. Furthermore, it supports the circular economy.  One day, all dinosaur models will require a digital product passport.

Great care and attention have been put into the design of the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex packaging.

The picture (above) shows one of the early stages in the development of the T. rex product packaging. Great care and attention have gone into the development of the product packaging.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Our digital product passport gives collectors instant access to our dinosaur model’s manufacturing details, materials, and design story. It builds trust by proving authenticity and showing our commitment to sustainability.”
