The Beautiful PNSO Yangchuanosaurus Dinosaur Model

By |2024-11-17T20:23:43+00:00November 16th, 2024|PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models|0 Comments

Team members enjoy taking photographs of dinosaur models.  Photographs of prehistoric animal figures are helpful to customers.  In addition, we can highlight details on the figures and discuss the accessories that are often included in the packaging.  For example, we were able to take some photographs of the recently introduced PNSO Yangchuanosaurus dinosaur model (Dayong). Dayong is a replica of Y. shangyouensis.  This dinosaur taxon was named and described in 1978.  The PNSO figure was introduced in the autumn of 2023.

The PNSO Yangchuanosaurus Dinosaur Model

The PNSO figure is a replica of a metriacanthosaurid theropod.  Its fossils come from south-western China (Chongqing Province). PNSO introduced two Yangchuanosaurus figures. Firstly, Dayong the Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis and secondly Dapeng, a replica of Yangchuanosaurus magnus.

The discovery of a much larger theropod skeleton led to the erection of a second species in the Yangchuanosaurus genus. However, it is now thought by most palaeontologists that Yangchuanosaurus magus should have nomen dubium status. That is, that this species is not valid, and the skeletal remains represent an older and much larger specimen of Y. shangyouensis. PNSO did introduce a replica of Y. magus at the same time as Dayong the Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis.

New CollectA Prehistoric Animal Models for 2025 – Part 3

By |2024-11-14T16:51:46+00:00November 15th, 2024|CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

Today, in collaboration with our chums at CollectA we make a third announcement about new CollectA prehistoric animal models for 2025.  CollectA will introduce a replica of one of the first, really big dinosaurs to evolve. In 2025, CollectA will add a 1:40 scale Ingentia prima model to their Deluxe range of prehistoric animal figures.  The manufacturer has kindly sent us some exclusive images of this new herbivorous dinosaur figure.  We can share some of these images with you.

  • CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale Ingentia prima.
The Ingentia prima model from CollectA.

The model is believed to measure a little over 25 cm in length making it approximately 1:40 scale.

Ingentia prima

With an estimated length of around ten metres and weighing a colossal ten tonnes Ingentia was one of the very first super-sized dinosaurs. Named and described in 2018 (Apaldetti et al), the fossil material reflects several adaptations to weight bearing and evolving enormous size. It did not have the pillar-like legs of later sauropods, the front limbs were bent and show greater flexibility than the limbs of later giants such as the diplodocids and brachiosaurs. The hand and foot (manus and pes) are not as derived.  There are individual toes and claws.  However, Ingentia remains one of the largest, if not the largest terrestrial animal known from the Triassic.

Its fossils come from the Quebrada del Barro Formation of north-western Argentina. It lived around 210 million years ago.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s article from 2018 announcing the formal scientific description of this dinosaur: Triassic Dinosaurs Just Got Bigger.

The CollectA Deluxe Ingentia prima Model

At this stage, we are not sure when this figure will be in stock. However, we will do our best to keep dinosaur model fans informed through our blog and other social media platforms.  We can confirm that the figure will measure a fraction over twenty-five centimetres in length.  So, the 1:40 scale declaration based on a ten-metre-long animal is quite accurate.  The figure is predominately light green with brown patterning.  The underside is a lighter, off-white colour.  The animal is posed as if it is slowly walking along.  This provides the design team with an opportunity to highlight those bent front limbs.

It is certainly a most intriguing figure.  Perhaps, CollectA will make a revised Plateosaurus figure, replacing their existing model that was first introduced more than a decade ago.

These images reveal lots of detail on the skin of the Ingentia figure.  There are scales of various sizes. Large osteoderms seem to be present on the back, the flanks and running down the tail. The skin folds and position of the tail convey movement in the CollectA Deluxe Ingentia prima model.

Using the Binomial Name

CollectA seem to be introducing numerous figures that include the binomial name in their title.  For example, this model is referred to as Ingentia prima.  As far as we know there is just one species ascribed to this genus.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“When the Arctodus simus figure was announced last week, we noted comments on our Facebook post asking CollectA to introduce a sauropod figure next year.  Whilst Ingentia prima has been described as a basal sauropod, its exact phylogeny has yet to be resolved.  It is closely related to Lessemsaurus. Along with Antetonitrus (A. ingenipes), these dinosaurs have been classified into a new family of sauropodiform dinosaurs – the Lessemsauridae.”

The spokesperson added that he was looking forward to the CollectA Deluxe Ingentia prima model coming into stock in 2025.

The Official Image of the New CollectA Deluxe Giant Short-faced Bear

By |2024-11-08T16:48:24+00:00November 11th, 2024|CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur recently received the official image of the CollectA giant short-faced bear model.  We had received some exclusive images of the prototype, however, now we can post up the official image from the manufacturer. It certainly is a wonderful model of Arctodus simus.  A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that it would be in stock next year (2025), but they were not quite sure when. It should be available in the spring.

The CollectA Deluxe giant short-faced bear model.

The CollectA Deluxe giant short-faced bear figure. This model will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in 2025. This is the official CollectA image included in the media release.

Intriguingly, the model in this view does not show the torn right ear.  This was a detail we highlighted in an earlier blog post when we announced this new figure.

To read our earlier blog post about the CollectA Deluxe Arctodus simusNew CollectA Models for 2025 (Part 2).

The CollectA Giant Short-faced Bear

This is the third prehistoric animal figure for 2025 to have been announced.  It joins the CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular Furcatoceratops and the remarkable 1:20 scale CollectA Deluxe Jaekelopterus.  Congratulations to CollectA these three models represent the enormous variety in the CollectA range.

The CollectA Deluxe Arctodus simus model has already attracted a lot of interest from dinosaur fans and model collectors.  Furthermore, having received the official CollectA image we can comment on some of the additional details that can be seen.  However, if you only have the official image to guide you, you will have missed that torn ear detail.

CollectA Arctodus simus model.

The CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale giant short-faced bear. This figure shows some remarkable details, including a damaged ear. The red arrow points to the torn ear.

How Big is the Model?

There has been speculation as to the model’s size.  We can now confirm that the official measurements for this figure are height 17.3 cm, and length including that outstretched left paw, is around 9.5 cm.  With a declared height of 17.3 cm, this suggests an animal standing around 3.46 metres tall in 1:20 scale.

This confirms that this figure probably represents a male.  Males were much larger than the females.  In addition, it demonstrates the accuracy of this model, in terms of its scaling. The largest specimens of A. simus probably stood around 3.4 metres tall when they reared up onto their hind legs.

Paws for Thought – A “False Thumb”

A close-up examination of the right paw of the CollectA figure reveals further carefully crafted details.  The pad has an enlarged and raised area under digit I (the thumb). This feature is seen in the only extant bear in the Tremarctinae subfamily (Tremarctos ornatus). In addition, almost diagonally opposite, there is a second, oval-shaped pad. It is the pad associated with the radial sesamoid bone.

This feature is also found in T. ornatus (the spectacled bear), as well as extant pandas.  This suggest that the sesamoid pad is a primitive, more basal characteristic that was lost in later bear taxa.  It is often referred to as the “False Thumb” as it has a role in helping the bear to grasp plant stems and other items.

Team members at Everything Dinosaur are looking forward to the CollectA giant short-faced bear model coming into stock.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur added:

“The official CollectA image shows the details on the paw of the figure nicely.  This 1:20 scale figure should be in stock sometime in the spring of 2025.”

New CollectA Models for 2025 – Part 2

By |2024-11-07T21:28:32+00:00November 8th, 2024|CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular and CollectA Prehistoric Life Models|2 Comments

Today, we make a second announcement about new CollectA prehistoric animal models for 2025.  A CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale giant short-faced bear model will be available next year.  CollectA seem to have listened carefully to the requests of model collectors, and as a result, they have made a replica of Arctodus simus.  We at Everything Dinosaur are not sure when this prehistoric bear figure will be available. Perhaps, we will be able to stock it in the spring.  CollectA have kindly sent us some exclusive images of this new Arctodus simus model.  We can share some of these images with you.

  • CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale giant short-faced bear (Arctodus simus).

The new for 2025 CollectA Deluxe giant short-faced bear (Arctodus simus). The figure has a stated scale of 1:20.

The CollectA Deluxe Arctodus simus Model

The CollectA Deluxe giant short-faced bear is depicted rearing up.  The engineering team should be congratulated as they have created quite a dynamic pose, whilst maintaining the model’s stability.  The figure represents a male, and that white flash on the chest is most distinctive.  The closest living relative to A. simus is the spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus).  It too, tends to have a lighter coloured chest compared to the rest of its body, which is mainly covered in black fur.

CollectA Deluxe giant short-faced bear (Arctodus simus).

The image of the CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale A. simus shows the distinctive short snout of this genus. The figure has a disproportionately short snout compared to extant bears within the Ursinae subfamily (polar bear, black bear, brown bear).

The figure has a disproportionately short snout compared to most living bears.  Hence the common name for this taxon – the giant short-faced bear.

To view the range of CollectA Deluxe prehistoric animal models in stock: CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Life Figures.

The Giant Short-faced Bear

This giant bear inhabited North America during the Pleistocene Epoch. It had an extensive range. Fossils of A. simus have been found as far south as Mexico and in Canada. Once thought to be almost entirely carnivorous, it is likely that, like most extant bears, it was omnivorous. The CollectA model represents a male. Males were much larger than the females. The largest specimens stood nearly 1.7 metres high at the shoulder and would have weighed nearly a tonne.  When rearing up, a large male could stand around three and a half metres tall.

Isotope analysis of fossil teeth and bones suggests that this bear browsed on vegetation.  However, it also consumed other animals such as deer and tapirs.  Large males probably chased predators off their kills, allowing these big animals to feed on the carcase.  The white flash on the face, neck and chest of the CollectA model would have helped to intimidate both diurnal and nocturnal hunters allowing the bear to take over the kill.

CollectA Arctodus simus model.

The CollectA design team have provided some nice touches of detail on this model. For example, a small fleshy pad can be seen below the left paw. This is the “false thumb” associated with the sesamoid bone. This feature is found in the living member of the Tremarctinae subfamily – the spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus). The red arrow points to a torn ear.

The CollectA Arctodus simus Model and the “False Thumb”

The CollectA figure shows lots of detail such as the “false thumb” just below the main pad of the paw.  This hard pad marks the location of the radial sesamoid bone in the wrist.  This anatomical trait is seen in the spectacled bear and also in the distantly related giant panda.  The CollectA figure has a torn right ear (as indicated by the red arrow in the image).

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that this figure would be in stock next year (2025), but at this time they were not sure when.

Our thanks to CollectA for sending us these fantastic photographs of their new Arctodus simus model.

Exclusive CollectA Deluxe Jaekelopterus Images and a YouTube Video

By |2024-11-06T22:28:03+00:00November 6th, 2024|CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur has been sent some exclusive images of the new for 2025 CollectA Deluxe Jaekelopterus model. It is a fascinating eurypterid figure. The model represents the species Jaekelopterus rhenaniae and it comes complete with a luckless agnathan prey item.  Team members created a short YouTube video that permitted them to share the images with model collectors.  The video was posted up on the company’s YouTube channel.

The CollectA Deluxe Jaekelopterus Figure

This remarkable figure of arguably the largest arthropod known to science has a declared scale of 1:20. In the Everything Dinosaur video, we take a look at this scale statement and try to determine whether it is accurate. Exquisite details on the eurypterid figure are shown. For example, the compound eyes are highlighted. In addition, the scale-like surface ornamentation is discussed.

It is likely that this figure will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur sometime in the spring of 2025.

The Jaekelopterus has splashes of green. However, they are only found on the top of the model.  This suggests that these markings represent algae growing on the animal’s exoskeleton.  In our video, we look at the underside of the model and discuss the colouration.  Furthermore, we examine the pincers and assess their accuracy when compared to the J. rhenaniae fossil material.

Our video highlighting the exclusive Jaekelopterus images lasts for just over nine minutes and thirty seconds.  It provides model collectors with the opportunity to get a really close look at this new invertebrate figure.

New Baryonyx Model Arrives on a Memorable Date

By |2024-11-01T16:02:34+00:00November 1st, 2024|PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models|0 Comments

The new PNSO Baryonyx model has arrived at Everything Dinosaur.  The delivery coincides with an important date in the history of spinosaurids.  For, as the PNSO Maxim the Baryonyx was being unloaded, our thoughts turned to November 1st 1986.  It was on this day thirty-eight years ago that the scientific paper describing Baryonyx (B. walkeri) was published. Sadly, the two authors of that publication Alan J. Charig and Angela Milner have both passed away. However, as we unloaded the boxes today, we took time out to reflect on their immense contribution to vertebrate palaeontology.

Three examples of the new PNSO Baryonyx model.

The PNSO Baryonyx Model (Maxim the Baryonyx)

PNSO have made several spinosaurid figures.  However, this is the first, large Baryonyx model that the company has produced.  This figure measures twenty-four centimetres long.  The head height is around nine centimetres.  This beautiful Baryonyx has an articulated lower jaw.

To see the PNSO range of prehistoric animal models available from Everything Dinosaur: PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models.

The title of the 1986 scientific paper was “Baryonyx, a remarkable new theropod dinosaur”, it introduced an entirely different type of carnivorous dinosaur.  It is wonderful to see that, thirty-eight years later, Baryonyx is still fascinating collectors and dinosaur fans.

Alan Charig and Angela Milner significantly advanced our understanding of prehistoric life through their ground-breaking discoveries.  During our busy day, we spared a few moments to remember them.

New CollectA Models for 2025 – Part 1

By |2024-11-01T14:51:56+00:00November 1st, 2024|CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular and CollectA Prehistoric Life Models|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur in collaboration with CollectA reveal two new prehistoric animal models for 2025. A new horned dinosaur – Furcatoceratops and an eurypterid.  The eurypterid is a replica of the giant “sea scorpion” Jaekelopterus (J. rhenaniae).

At this time, we are not certain when these two CollectA prehistoric animal models will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur.  However, we estimate that they might be available in the spring (2025).

New for 2025 the CollectA Jaekelopterus model in 1:20 scale.

New CollectA Prehistoric Animal Models (Part 1)

Furcatoceratops (pronounced Fur-kat-toe-sera-tops), is the latest horned dinosaur addition to the Age of Dinosaurs Popular range.  CollectA have been keen to highlight the great variety and diversity of North American ceratopsians.  Furcatoceratops (F. elucidans) joins other centrosaurines in this range such as Nasutoceratops, to which it was closely related.  It was formally named and described in 2023 (Ishikawa et al). Its large brow horns curved sharply downwards, and these have been carefully depicted in this new CollectA figure.

The fossil material comes from the famous Judith River Formation of Montana.  The predominantly green-coloured body contrasts nicely with the carefully painted head in the images of a prototype CollectA kindly provided.

The model has different-sized epoccipital bones lining the frill. This layout reflects the known fossil material.

Detailed Epoccipitals

The picture (above) shows the beautiful frill of Furcatoceratops more clearly.  The epoccipitals (bones lining the frill) are not all uniform and the same size.  This arrangement of epoccipitals reflects what is seen in the holotype fossil material.

It has been estimated that Furcatoceratops grew to about 4 metres in length.  This could mean a model of around ten centimetres in length with an approximate scale of 1:40.

The CollectA Deluxe Jaekelopterus rhenaniae

CollectA have gained a reputation for creating wonderful replicas of prehistoric invertebrates.  Collectors have been after an eurypterid figure for years, and CollectA have delivered. The CollectA model represents Jaekelopterus rhenaniae (Yak-kel-op-ter-us ren-an-ee-aye), one of the largest arthropods to have ever lived.

The CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale Jaekelopterus with prey.

The Jaekelopterus figure is holding a jawless fish in its huge claw (chelicera).

The prototype images provided by the manufacturer show some amazing details.  For example, the figure has large, compound eyes and dorsal ocelli (light-sensitive organs) located on the top of the head.  Remarkably, CollectA have been able to include a small replica of a jawless fish.  Jaekelopterus rhenaniae was probably the apex predator in the Early Devonian waterways of what was to become Germany.

It probably hunted primitive fish. The fish prey represents a generic jawless agnathan.  It is probably based on a group of prehistoric fish called Pteraspidiformes.  This was one of the last times in our planet’s history that an invertebrate was top of the food chain hunting vertebrates.

The model is predominantly a mottled brown but with patches of green on it.  When the underside of the model is viewed (see below), there are no green patches.

The underside of the CollectA Jaekelopterus figure.

A view of the underside of the Jaekelopterus model.  The reproductive organ can be seen as can the vent in the pretelson. The mouth parts have been carefully reconstructed along with the appendages.

The absence of any green colouration on the underside suggests that the green patches depict algae growing on the exoskeleton.  It is likely that algae did grow on this large predator as it lurked in the water ready to ambush its next victim.  The limbs were too weak to support this animal on land so, it was probably entirely aquatic.  The algae would benefit this predator. It would have helped to camouflage it.

We believe the CollectA Deluxe Jaekelopterus figure will be approximately sixteen centimetres in length.  At this size it would fit with an approximate scale of 1:20.

To view the range of CollectA Deluxe figures available from Everything Dinosaur: CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Animal Figures.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur thanked the manufacturer for providing the additional images.  It is likely that these two CollectA prehistoric animal figures will be in stock in the spring of 2025 or thereabouts.

Hopefully, more new CollectA prehistoric animals next Friday.

Helpful Advice and Information About Beasts of the Mesozoic Theropod Stands

By |2024-10-28T13:32:09+00:00October 28th, 2024|Beasts of the Mesozoic Models|0 Comments

Team members have created a short YouTube video about the new Beasts of the Mesozoic theropod display stands.  Two sizes of display stand have been made available.  There is the “large size”, this is suitable for the super-sized 1:18 scale T. rex figure. In addition, there is the “medium size”.  This size of display stand is suitable for use with the Beasts of the Mesozoic tyrannosaur figures.  For example, the Bistahieversor, Lythronax and Daspletosaurus models.

To help customers, we made a short video.  The video focuses on the “medium size” theropod display stands. However, the “large size” stands can be assembled in the same way.

The image (above) shows some of the recent arrivals at Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse.  The Haolonggood range of prehistoric animal figures has grown rapidly over the last two years.  This latest shipment includes the impressive sauropods Camarasaurus and Amargasaurus.  Team members have been busy alerting all those collectors and dinosaur fans who wanted to be informed about arrivals.

Haolonggood Dinosaur Models and Spinosaurus Too!

The shipment also contained the two Haolonggood Spinosaurus models. A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that it was pleasing to see these theropod models come into stock.

The spokesperson added:

“Haolonggood dinosaur models are extremely popular.  Their range of figures has grown dramatically, and we are delighted to bring into stock all these exciting dinosaur models.”

The two Spinosaurus models are essentially the same sculpt.  However, there are two different colour schemes.  The model named Lv Yi is predominantly green.  In contrast, the figure known as Chen Feng has a reddish hue. Fittingly, these are large models. Each Spinosaurus measures around forty centimetres in length. That magnificent sail is around thirteen centimetres off the ground.  These figures have a declared scale of 1:35. Perhaps, Haolonggood will one day make a 1:35 scale replica of Tyrannosaurus rex.
