Two New Haolonggood Brontosaurus Figures

These new Haolonggood Brontosaurus models are the latest, large sauropod figures to be introduced by Haolonggood.  Recently, Haolonggood have introduced Alamosaurus, Argentinosaurus and Brachiosaurus replicas.  As with previous sauropod models, the two Brontosaurus models will be supplied with a display base.

The two Brontosaurus figures are:

  • Haolonggood Brontosaurus Xie Ying Deng (brown colour version).
  • Haolonggood Brontosaurus Du Weng Zhong (grey colour version).

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Brontosaurus is an iconic dinosaur.  It is perhaps the best-known of all the Sauropoda, certainly in terms of the public’s perception of these long-necked dinosaurs.  Both Haolonggood figures are magnificent.”

Two Display Bases

The batch of Brontosaurus figures coming into Everything Dinosaur will be supplied complete with a display base.  Each base has been skilfully painted.  In addition, the base has a replica of a prehistoric plant incorporated within it.  From the images that Haolonggood have supplied, it looks like a small cycad.

Each of the Haolonggood Brontosaurus figures is supplied with a beautiful display base.

The head of each figure is over eighteen centimetres off the ground.  When the model is placed on a display base the figure will stand over twenty centimetres high.

Mike added:

“Brontosaurus is from the Late Jurassic of the United States.  Named and described by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1879, the holotype specimen of B. excelsus is on display at the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University.”

Eofauna Mammuthus Model Review – A Colossal Masterpiece from the Pleistocene

By |2025-09-21T22:13:50+01:00September 21st, 2025|Categories: Eofauna Scientific Research Models|0 Comments

Our thanks to model collector William who sent into Everything Dinosaur a review of the Eofauna Mammuthus columbi model.  William praised this 1:35 scale replica and provided a detailed review.

William stated that the Eofauna Mammuthus columbi is more than a model. It is a scientifically accurate replica with stunning detail. This figure celebrates one of the most iconic Ice Age mammals. It even includes a collectable card, making it ideal for dedicated collectors.

First Impressions of the Eofauna Mammuthus columbi

William is a big fan of this figure.  He commented that the moment you see it, its presence dominates. It is not simply a toy.  It’s a scientifically crafted figure that brings the Pleistocene to life.  It is a remarkable piece of model engineering. Its realism makes it a true centrepiece to any collection.

The Head Sculpt of the Eofauna Mammuthus columbi

William commented that the head sculpt impresses with its accuracy.  The broad forehead and strong trunk are perfectly formed.  The long, spiralling tucks are described as curving outwards in a classic style.  Subtle facial features add strength, character and intelligence to the model.

Main Body Sculpt

Moving onto the body, the reviewer stated that the body of the Eofauna Mammuthus columbi model reflects expert anatomical knowledge. Powerful muscles and folds run across the shoulders and flanks. The tall shoulder hump, a mammoth hallmark, is praised. William in his review stated that every contour adds realism.

Moving on, the limbs and stance were discussed.  William commented that the limbs look robust and weighty.  Each leg portrayed the true mass of this Ice Age giant.  Natural folds at the joints gave the impression of movement. Wide, textured feet provide excellent stability, making the figure secure on display.  A very helpful attribute for anyone wanting to put their figure into a diorama.

The Colour and Texture of the Eofauna Mammuthus columbi Figure

William explained that he thought the paintwork elevates this replica. Deep, earthy browns dominate, highlighted with lighter ochres.  Darker tones fill the creases, giving depth and shadow. The rough hide texture feels ancient and convincing. The glossy, intelligent eye completes the realistic impression.

Our reviewer also provided helpful measurements and confirmed the scale:

  • Length: 20.5 cm
  • Height: 11.5 cm
  • Scale: 1:35

This scale allows collectors to display the Eofauna Mammuthus columbi alongside other 1:35 prehistoric figures.

In addition, William commented that the model arrived securely packaged and that collectors will enjoy the bonus card.  Customers of Everything Dinosaur also receive a free, M. columbi fact sheet.

Final Thoughts on the Eofauna Mammuthus columbi Figure

In concluding his review William stated:

“The Eofauna Mammuthus columbi is a must-have for Ice Age enthusiasts. Its detailed sculpting, museum-quality finish, and scientific accuracy set it apart. More than a figure, it is a tribute to a magnificent creature that once roamed North America.”

Mike from Everything Dinosaur thanked William for his comprehensive review.  It is always a pleasure to receive feedback from a customer about a recent purchase.

He added:

“Sue and I are fans of the Eofauna Scientific Research range too.  This range of figures features several prehistoric elephants, and they will soon be joined by a fabulous Paraceratherium figure. Thank you William, for your Columbian mammoth review.”

Ultimate Do’s and Don’ts for Assembling the Rebor Kiss Island Figure

By |2025-09-19T07:19:58+01:00September 19th, 2025|Categories: Rebor Models and Figures|0 Comments

Discover the essential do’s and don’ts for assembling your Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Kiss Island figure. Learn safe tips for fitting the tail, posing arms, and adjusting the jaw without damage.

If you want your Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Kiss Island model to look its best, take a few minutes to examine the figure before attempting to assemble.  For instance, the tail piece can be difficult to insert into the body.  If you struggle to insert the tail, you could inadvertently damage the delicate arms of the model as you try to force the tail piece home.

Assembling the Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Kiss Island Figure

Things could go wrong if you try to force the parts together.  You could damage the model, or you could injure yourself by pushing and twisting too hard. Instead, you should gently prepare each part before assembly.  To insert the tail, dip the tail plug in hot water, or heat it with a hairdryer.  In addition, you could add a tiny smear of vegetable oil to help the joint slide into place smoothly.

Straight out of the box, the arms can be stiff.  These too can be warmed with a hairdryer to loosen the plastic before posing.  Furthermore, you could treat the articulated jaw in the same way.  Please do not try to force the mouth open.

An Impressive Dinosaur Model

Taking a little care assembling your Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Kiss Island figure is worthwhile.  It is an extremely impressive dinosaur model.  The figure makes a splendid addition to any prehistoric animal model collection.  Taking time to carefully assemble your model gives you peace of mind.  You know that you have an impressive and valuable item in your collection.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“I want collectors to avoid frustration. My hope is that these tips will help dinosaur fans to assemble their Rebor figure.  By taking their time, collectors can ensure that they have a pristine Rebor model in their collection.”

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 Giganotosaurus models.

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.”

Everything Dinosaur will be stocking both colour variants of the recently announced Haolonggood Iguanodon model.  Mike and Sue are looking forward to receiving into stock the grey version and the brown version of this iconic ornithopod.  Each model measures twenty-six centimetres long.  The models have a declared height of ten and a half centimetres.

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.
