By Mike|2025-05-17T21:51:06+01:00May 14th, 2025|PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models|0 Comments

Two new PNSO horned dinosaur models are due to arrive at Everything Dinosaur next week. We have been informed that the container vessel is due to dock next Monday (19th May). The goods have to be unloaded and inspected. If all goes to plan, Stella the Stellasaurus and the new Judith the Spiclypeus could be in stock at the end of next week.

PNSO Judith the Spiclypeus in the swampy landscape.

The Spiclypeus model is depicted in a swampy environment. The holotype (CMN 57081) was collected from the lower Coal Ridge Member of the Judith River Formation. These sediments were indeed laid down in a swampy environment.

The picture (above), shows one of the two new for 2025, PNSO horned dinosaurs coming into stock. This is Judith the Spiclypeus. This dinosaur’s name was inspired by the Judith River Formation. The genus name is a combination of two Latin words that mean “spiked shield”.

The two new PNSO dinosaurs are:

Judith the Spiclypeus.
Stella the Stellasaurus.

Team members are busy finishing the Stellasaurus (S. ancellae) fact sheet that will be supplied free with the Stellasaurus model.

New Nanmu Studio Berserker Queen Figures Coming into Stock

By Mike|2025-05-13T06:29:13+01:00May 11th, 2025|Nanmu Studio Models|0 Comments

The Nanmu Studio Berserker Queen articulated dinosaur figures are coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur. Two beautiful articulated dinosaur models. Each figure has thirty points of articulation. We suspect these models were inspired by the Indominus creature that appeared in the “Jurassic World” movie. This film re-booted the “Jurassic Park” franchise. It was released in 2015, and it was a huge commercial success. Box office receipts were around $1.6 billion USD.

To read a blog post from 2015 about this hugely successful movie: Record Weekend Takings for “Jurassic World” Film.

Previously, Nanmu Studio had made models representing the Indominus dinosaur. These are now retired and out of stock.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Nanmu Studio tends to take inspiration from the cinema. Lots of their figures resemble movie monsters. We are looking forward to getting these two Berserker Queen figures into stock.”

The Nanmu Studio Berserker Queen Tyrannosaurus rex original colour articulated figure reminds us of the Indominus rex creature from the Jurassic World movie franchise.

To view the Nanmu Studio model range in stock: Nanmu Studio Models.

Nanmu Studio Berserker Queen Figures

These figures are stylised versions of Tyrannosaurus rex. Although for us, we can see the influence of the cinema in these models. For example, these theropods have three digits on their hand. Collectors have two colour versions to choose from. There is the original colour version (see image above) and the Berserker Queen Tyrannosaurus rex Valkyrie Tiger Stripes colour version (see image below).

The Nanmu Studio Berserker Queen Tyrannosaurus rex Valkyrie Tiger Stripes figure has thirty points of articulation.

Mike explained that these figures were on order with the factory and should be available in a few weeks. The new Nanmu Studio Therizinosaurus figure is also on this shipment.

Photographing the Beautiful CollectA Deluxe Placerias Model

By Mike|2025-05-06T06:42:36+01:00May 4th, 2025|CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

We took advantage of the recent dry weather to photograph the CollectA Deluxe Placerias figure outdoors. It looks amazing against the background of large, lichen covered pebbles and rocks. This 1:20 scale prehistoric animal model is one of our favourites.

The CollectA Deluxe Placerias Model

The model measures nearly sixteen centimetres in length. It is an excellent replica of a dicynodont. Placerias fossils are known from the Chinle Formation of Arizona. The remains of around forty individuals have been excavated from a site southeast of the famous Petrified Forest National Park. It roamed the western United States approximately 215 million years ago. It was thought to be the last of the dicynodonts. However, the discovery of Lisowicia in Poland and Pentasaurus (P. goggai) from South Africa which are thought to be geologically younger, suggests that these animals persisted towards the end of the Triassic.

The CollectA Deluxe Placerias figure was introduced in 2024. There had been lots of requests for a Placerias model from collectors. CollectA was happy to grant their wishes and introduce a 1:20 scale replica into the CollectA Deluxe range.

To view the CollectA Deluxe range of figures in stock: CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Animal Models.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“We are model collectors too. Sometimes, if the weather is dry and sunny we like to take a model outdoors and photograph it. By placing the camera below the figure, you can give the impression that the animal is huge. The Placerias replica looks very much at home amongst the rocks.”

Haolonggood T. rex Models to be Stocked by Everything Dinosaur

By Mike|2025-04-28T15:17:05+01:00April 29th, 2025|Haolonggood Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur has confirmed that they will be stocking the new Haolonggood T. rex models. These 1:35 scale tyrannosaur figures are due to be in stock later this spring. Dinosaur model fans can choose from the brown-coloured variant (Chao Gai) or the grey variant (Lu Jun Yi). Both models measure approximately thirty-three centimetres in length.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that customers who contacted the company would be added to the priority reserve list for these two figures.

Haolonggood T. rex Models

There is one other Late Cretaceous tyrannosaurid dinosaur currently represented in the Haolonggood range. The company has already produced a replica of Daspletosaurus (D. torosus). The Haolonggood Daspletosaurus models (Lu Zhi Sheng and Wu Song) also have a declared scale of 1:35. However, the new for 2025 Haolonggood Tyrannosaurus rex figures are about four centimetres longer. This is in keeping with current scientific evidence that indicates that T. rex was larger than the geologically older Daspletosaurus taxon.

The image (above) shows the brown variant (Chao Gai). This dinosaur figure, just like its counterpart (Lu Jun Yi) shows some amazing detail.

The New PNSO Russo the Coronosaurus Dinosaur Model

By Mike|2025-04-26T06:25:07+01:00April 25th, 2025|PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur will be stocking the new for 2025 PNSO Russo the Coronosaurus dinosaur model. This new horned dinosaur figure will be in stock shortly. The last four dinosaur models to be introduced by PNSO have all been horned dinosaurs.

The models are:

Frederik the Lokiceratops (Centrosaurinae).
Judith the Spiclypeus (Chasmosaurinae).
Stella the Stellasaurus (Centrosaurinae).
Russo the Coronosaurus (Centrosaurinae).

The new PNSO Russo the Coronosaurus dinosaur model.

The New PNSO Russo the Coronosaurus Dinosaur Model

The new Coronosaurus dinosaur model measures sixteen centimetres in length. Those beautiful and ornate frills on the top of the neck frill are a little over five centimetres off the ground. Originally thought to represent a new species of Centrosaurus, a review in 2012 led to the establishment of the Coronosaurus genus. The name means “crown lizard”. It is a reference to the numerous additional epiparietals that adorn the parietal giving the neck frill a crown-like appearance. Moreover, one of the palaeontologists that named this dinosaur, Michael J. Ryan stated that the neck shield ornamentation reminded him of the corona of the sun.

Michael J. Ryan was also one of the scientists that described Stellasaurus (S. ancellae). Recently, PNSO announced that they were adding a Stellasaurus figure to their range.

To read a blog post about Stella the Stellasaurus: PNSO Announces a New Horned Dinosaur Model (Stellasaurus).

The model will be supplied with a full-colour A3-sized poster and a sixty-four-page booklet. In addition, Everything Dinosaur customers will receive a free Coronosaurus fact sheet.

This new for 2025 horned dinosaur model is supplied with an A3-sized Sci-Art poster and a full-colour, sixty-four-page booklet. In addition, Everything Dinosaur customers will receive a free Coronosaurus fact sheet.

A Beautiful Centrosaurine Figure

Coronosaurus (C. brinkmani) is a member of the ceratopsid subfamily the Centrosaurinae. It is estimated to have measured around five metres in length and weighed approximately two tonnes. Coronosaurus fossil material is known from two bone beds, both located in Alberta, Canada. These bone beds consist of strata associated with the upper unit of the Oldman Formation. Coronosaurus roamed southern Canada around seventy-seven million years ago.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is wonderful to see another centrosaurine added to the PNSO range. Moreover, all these horned dinosaur figures help to illustrate the incredible diversity of ceratopsians present in North America towards the end of the Cretaceous.”

The New Nanuqsaurus Model Photographed in the Studio

By Mike|2025-04-23T17:43:18+01:00April 23rd, 2025|Wild Safari Prehistoric World|0 Comments

April the 23rd is St George’s day. Saint George is the patron saint of England. Indeed, he is the patron saint of several countries. For example, Malta and Portugal. St George was not English. He is perhaps most famous for slaying a dragon. There is a school of thought that suggests fossilised dinosaur bones were the inspiration for dragons. We thought it appropriate considering the date that we would post up a picture of a dinosaur. The recently introduced Wild Safari Prehistoric World Nanuqsaurus figure was close to hand. So, we photographed it in honour of St George.

The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Nanuqsaurus

The Nanuqsaurus model is leaning forward. Its cavernous jaws are open. It is quite easy to imagine this Late Cretaceous tyrannosaur figure facing a shining knight in armour as a child recreates St George’s battle with a dragon. Not sure how the knight would fare. After all, Nanuqsaurus hoglundi could be much bigger than previously thought. Originally considered a “pygmy” tyrannosaur when first described, due to the presumed lack of food resources at high latitudes, some scientists now believe that this theropod was actually much larger. Could Nanuqsaurus have been around the same size as Daspletosaurus?

No matter the size of the tyrannosaur this figure represents, it is a detailed model, beautifully painted and ideal for robust, creative play. The model is well suited to the rough and tumble of a joust with a knight or two.

Dragons and Dinosaurs Blurring the Distinction

Team members recall seeing many examples of illustrations in schools where the boundary between a dragon and a dinosaur has been blurred. Artwork produced by children as part of a topic exploring rocks and fossils often depicts dinosaurs. However, some of these drawings and crafts blur the boundary between depicting a dinosaur and a fantastical dragon to some extent. In the minds of some children, it can be hard to distinguish them apart. After all, in movies dinosaurs and dragons are both, very often depicted as frightening and fearsome monsters.

Hands inspire dinosaur artwork in school.

A “handy” way to create a prehistoric animal in the classroom. Everything Dinosaur team members recall seeing many pieces of art created by schoolchildren that blur the distinction between dragons and the Dinosauria. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Children might confuse a dragon depicted in a storybook and a dinosaur because both are large, reptilian creatures often portrayed in fantastical settings. To a young child this might make them seem similar in appearance and nature.”

A Unique Stellasaurus Scale Drawing

By Mike|2025-04-21T17:26:55+01:00April 22nd, 2025|PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur has commissioned a Stellasaurus scale drawing for use in the company’s Stellasaurus ancellae fact sheet. The PNSO Stellasaurus figure is due to arrive in a few weeks and sales of this centrosaurine will include the free Stellasaurus fact sheet.

A Stellasaurus Scale Drawing

This horned dinosaur was formally described in 2020 (Wilson, Ryan and Evans). Its fossils are associated with the famous Two Medicine Formation of Montana (USA). When first studied, the fragmentary remains were thought to represent a new taxon. However, subsequent studies assigned the material to Rubeosaurus. The 2020, study led to a reassessment and the Stellasaurus genus was erected.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s article about the discovery of Stellasaurus: Stellasaurus “Star Lizard”.

Many palaeontologists view this species as an intermediate between Styracosaurus albertensis and Einiosaurus procurvicornis.

The new horned dinosaur figure, the PNSO Stella the Stellasaurus. A fact sheet is being prepared by Everything Dinosaur to accompany sales of this centrosaurine model.

The Centrosaurine Stellasaurus ancellae

Stellasaurus ancellae is thought to have measured approximately five metres in length. It weighed around two tonnes, and it lived during the Campanian faunal stage of the Late Cretaceous (circa 75 million years ago).

The genus name translates from the Latin as “star lizard”. This reflects the ornate, star-shaped head crest but also honours the late pop star David Bowie. David Bowie was famous for his extravagant outfits and flamboyant stage show. His hit single “Starman” was released on April 28th, 1972. This is almost forty-eight years to the day that the Stellasaurus scientific paper was published.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We like to commission scale drawings of prehistoric animals. This means we can support the palaeoart community. The fact sheets we research and write are sent out free to our customers. It is one of the ways in which we try to support education and science communication.”
