Dinosaur fan and model collector William sent to Everything Dinosaur a model review.  The review focused on the new for 2024 Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex figure.  We created a short blog post summarising the reviewer’s comments.  This dinosaur model is based on the T. rex specimen housed at the Field Museum in Chicago.  The specimen is nicknamed “Sue” after Sue Hendrickson, who discovered the dinosaur in 1990 during a commercial excavation trip in South Dakota.

This tyrannosaur model is supplied with a display base.  In addition, the figure has an articulated jaw.  William congratulated the design team. He stated that in his opinion, this was the most accurate Tyrannosaurus rex model to date.

Everything Dinosaur team members have posted up a summary of William’s comprehensive view on the Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex product page.

Here is the review as it appears on the Eofauna T. rex product page:

“Simple! It’s an Eofauna figure. Two years in development but well worth the wait for a model of ‘Sue’, not some fantasy beast but a replica of a once living animal. Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex “Sue’. It is a banquet for the eyes. Congratulations! We all now own the most accurate scientific Tyrannosaurus rex figures to exist.”

The reviewer went onto praise Everything Dinosaur stating:

“Customer service from Everything Dinosaur is of the highest level. A prime example was last week whilst I was ordering two PNSO Megalosaurus I received an email from Sue to confirm that it was not a mistake and that I did want two figures. Thank you Everything Dinosaur for your care and consideration.”

Mike from Everything Dinosaur thanked William for his model review and for his kind words about the company.

Our thanks to dinosaur model fan William who supplied a review of the Eofauna T. rex model.  William has been collecting prehistoric animals for quite a while and he explained that this figure had been two years in development, but it was well worth the wait.  He commented that it was wonderful to have an accurate sculpt of “Sue”, otherwise known as FMNH PR 2081.

The review began by focusing on the head of the figure.  The head is described as “fantastic” with glorious textured lips and inquisitive eyes.  It was explained that Eofauna were thinking outside the box when they devised this figure and created a novel fixture for the articulated jaw.  The seam is obvious on the figure, but the reviewer hoped that this approach to articulation had been patented.

The Eofauna T. rex Main Body

The trunk of the figure is described as being accurate and the muscular tail is praised.  The figure has a declared scale of 1:35. The tiny arms and hands ending in their two digits with claws are highlighted as being particularly well done.  William commented that the powerful hind limbs had been crafted with skill.  He also highlighted the textured pads on the underside of the feet.

When describing the chosen colour scheme for the figure, William exclaimed:

“The colour and texture of the figure are a banquet for the eyes.  The model may have been inspired by the Mexican beaded lizard’s colouration.  It has superbly sculpted skin integument from the lips to the tip of the tail.”

In concluding his review, William explained that the figure comes in a sealed plastic bag, and it is supplied with an informative picture trading card.

This is the first Eofauna figure to be supplied with a display base.  The reviewer highlighted the Eofauna T. rex model base and stated that it should prevent toppling issues.

Thank You Everything Dinosaur

The final part of the Eofauna T. rex model review was reserved for the Everything Dinosaur team members.  William thanked Mike and Sue for providing dinosaur fans and model collectors with assistance.  During these uncertain times, even through the pandemic team members were available to provide advice and support.  The company’s commitment to sourcing leading brands and obtaining new stock was praised.

In summarising the range of models offered and the variety of product prices, William stated:

“It is a very good price range for children up to the adult collector who either wants the latest Beasts of the Mesozoic Yutyrannus huali figure to the latest releases from PNSO”.

William added that purchasing from Everything Dinosaur was safe and secure and that the company offered excellent customer service.  He thanked the company for their kindness and consideration.

The head has been remarked upon by collectors.  The long snout shows lots of detail and the model has an articulated jaw.  The figure has a visible seam on the head.  Some collectors have suggested that the snout reminds them of the muzzle of a dog. However, the model depicts an accurate representation of the anatomy of the Field Museum T. rex (FMNH PR 2081).

Mike from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“This is the second theropod model to be introduced by Eofauna.  The first figure was Giganotosaurus carolini and both models are in 1/35th scale.  There are ten models in the Eofauna model series, and this T. rex is a wonderful figure.”

Dinosaur fans and prehistoric animal model collectors are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex model.  The model is expected in stock at Everything Dinosaur soon.  Team members have been asked to post up more images of this 1:35 scale figure.  A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur also confirmed that this T. rex will be supplied with a removeable display base.  The display base has two pegs that the feet of the figure slide onto.  Collectors can be assured that their dinosaur model will be stable.

The new for 2024 Eofauna Scientific Research Tyrannosaurus rex figure can be posed on its display base. Collectors can also display their figure without the base.

The Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex Model

The model has been beautifully painted, and it measures around thirty- four centimetres long.  It has an articulated lower jaw.  The model can be removed from its base and displayed separately.

The design team at Eofauna Scientific Research have based their T. rex model on the famous “Sue” Tyrannosaurus rex from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.  This is specimen number FMNH PR 2081.  In the summer of 1990, a field team from the Black Hills Institute of South Dakota were prospecting for dinosaur bones on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation. It was team member Sue Hendrickson who found the first evidence of fossils. The fossils were from a T. rex. Subsequent excavations recovered most of the skeleton including an almost complete skull.

The T. rex specimen was nicknamed “Sue” after Sue Hendrickson.

Eofauna T. rex Model

The “Sue” T. rex fossil specimen was discovered on the 12th of August 1990, by Sue Hendrickson. Extensive excavation and careful preparation resulted in a substantial proportion of the skeleton being saved. The specimen has the formal name FMNH PR 2081. It is one of the most complete and extensively researched of all the large tyrannosaur specimens known. This Tyrannosaurus rex is on permanent display at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago (Illinois).

The design team at Eofauna based their figure on a reconstruction of the Field Museum fossils.  They started with the dinosaur skeleton, added the musculature and finally the surface features such as scales, claws and teeth.

The new Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex figure is based on an actual tyrannosaur specimen (FMNH PR2081).
