Finding Suitable Dinosaur Models for Adults – Some Helpful Advice

By |2024-07-21T16:12:10+01:00July 16th, 2024|Categories: Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

Finding suitable dinosaur models for adults can be a challenge.  There are so many prehistoric animal models available these days.  For the novice, the choice can be overwhelming.  The experts at Everything Dinosaur are happy to provide advice.

Dinosaur Models for Adults

Prehistoric animal figures have long been popular children’s toys, but in recent years, there’s been a growing demand for more detailed, realistic models aimed at a mature audience. These models aren’t just child’s play they are meticulously crafted works of art that allow you to appreciate the majesty and complexity of these ancient creatures in incredible detail.  However, which models to collect?  Team members have recommended some ranges that are popular with mature collectors.

PNSO figures are favoured by model collectors.  There is an extensive range to collect, and several new figures are being introduced each year.  The PNSO model range has been praised for its scientific accuracy, and for the different prehistoric animals that have been included.  There is a bias towards theropod figures, but PNSO have also produced sauropod models and replicas of armoured dinosaurs.

Nanmu Studio Jurassic Series

The Nanmu Studio Jurassic Series has been heavily influenced by monster movies such as “King Kong” and “Jurassic Park”.  The figures are beautiful, and many include display bases.  There are limited-edition figures too.  For example, a recent addition to the “Dragon Soul” series is the “King of the Giant Apes – Rage” figure.

Collectors have been amazed by the subtle details and, the precise anatomical features.  For example, the gorilla figure has a high degree of realism.  The base of the “King of the Giant Apes” figure includes some carefully painted human remains.  These help to provide the impression of size and scale for this figure.  Model fans have also praised the painting of the ape model too.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Nanmu Studio figures have been strongly influenced by cinema monsters. The company focuses on these movie monsters. Whilst not scientifically accurate for the most part, some of their figures are extremely impressive and highly collectable.”

Haolonggood Models and Figures

Another range to consider when looking for dinosaur models for adults is Haolonggood.  These models, like PNSO and Nanmu Studio are manufactured in China.  The range has grown rapidly and there are now over twenty different dinosaur figures to collect.  These models are usually made in pairs.  Each dinosaur being available in two different colour schemes.  The image (below) shows the Haolonggood Ouranosaurus figures.  The company was congratulated by many dinosaur fans for amending the models to ensure an accurate manus (hand).

Educational Prehistoric Animal Models

Beyond just being beautifully crafted collectables, adult dinosaur models can also serve as excellent educational tools. Display them alongside informative books and documentary DVDs to teach yourself and your family more about dinosaur evolution and palaeontology. They also make wonderful conversation pieces that are sure to impress your guests and ignite their own fascination with prehistoric life.  Some figures increase in value over the years, especially rare figures or limited-edition models.

By |2024-07-19T08:36:02+01:00July 15th, 2024|Categories: PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur team members are delighted to announce a new dinosaur model from our chums PNSO.  A replica of Baryonyx walkeri is to be introduced.  It will be available from Everything Dinosaur in a few weeks.  A spokesperson from the UK-based mail order company commented that Maxim the Baryonyx was the latest theropod model to be manufactured by PNSO.

The Baryonyx figure measures twenty-four centimetres in length. It has an estimated head height of around nine centimetres. The dinosaur model has an articulated lower jaw. It comes with an A3 Sci-Art poster and a sixty-four-page, full-colour booklet. Everything Dinosaur customers will also receive a free Baryonyx walkeri fact sheet with purchases.

To view the extensive range of PNSO models and figures available from Everything Dinosaur: PNSO Dinosaur Models.

Baryonyx walkeri was formally named and described in 1986 (Charig and Milner). The holotype (NHMUK PV R9951) is one of the most complete large theropod specimens known from Europe. The fossils also represent one of the most complete spinosaurid specimens known to science.

The new PNSO Baryonyx figure is supplied with an A3 Sci-Art poster and a full-colour, sixty-four page booklet.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that the company would be stocking this new dinosaur model.  He praised the figure stating:

“Maxim the Baryonyx will make a welcome addition to the PNSO model range.  It is great to welcome a Baryonyx figure from PNSO, especially since the company added a Sinopliosaurus, a model of a probable Asian spinosaurid in 2022.”

The PNSO Baryonyx figure had an articulated lower jaw.  The long jaw has the typical shape of a member of the Spinosauridae family of dinosaurs.  Baryonyx is known to have fed on other dinosaurs, but most palaeontologists suspect that the bulk of its diet was fish.

An Exquisite Replica of a Large Dromaeosaurid

The new for 2024 Beasts of the Mesozoic Utahraptor is an exquisite model of a large dromaeosaurid dinosaur.  Mike from Everything Dinosaur explained that Utahraptor ostrommaysi was one of the biggest dromaeosaurs known to science.  The recently introduced Achillobator figure represents the largest dromaeosaurid known from Asia.

He commented:

“With the introduction of these replicas both representing very large dromaeosaurids, producing YouTube shorts about them feels like a juxtaposition.”

The New PNSO Mateo the Tyrannotitan Model

By |2024-07-16T14:26:57+01:00July 13th, 2024|Categories: PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models|0 Comments

A model of the South American carcharodontosaurid Tyrannotitan chubutensis is to be added to the PNSO mid-size range of prehistoric animal figures.  This new theropod figure will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in a few weeks.  PNSO have already produced a Giganotosaurus figure as well as a Mapusaurus. Phylogenetic studies suggest that the geologically much older Tyrannotitan was closely related to Giganotosaurus and Mapusaurus.  The new figure will be called Mateo the Tyrannotitan.

This new dinosaur figure measures thirty-two centimetres in length.  The head height is reported to be around thirteen centimetres.   The beautiful dinosaur model has an articulated lower jaw.  It is supplied with an A3 Sci-Art Tyrannotitan poster and a full-colour booklet.  The booklet has sixty pages.

Tyrannotitan chubutensis

Tyrannotitan (T. chubutensis) was formally named and described in 2005 (Novas et al). It was a large theropod, with body size estimates in excess of twelve metres. Body weight estimates also vary, Gregory S. Paul estimated seven tonnes, a body mass also supported by Larramendi and Rubén Molina-Pérez. Both cranial and postcranial remains are known. The fossils are associated with the Cerro Castaño Member of the Cerro Barcino Formation (Chubut Province, southern Argentina).

Tyrannotitan chubutensis has been classified as a member of the Giganotosaurini tribe within the Carcharodontosauridae family. As such, it is thought to be closely related to Giganotosaurus carolini and Mapusaurus roseae. Originally, thought to be a basal carcharodontosaurid subsequent studies (Canale et al) has redefined this enigmatic group of carnivorous dinosaurs and identified that these apex predators were highly diverse immediately prior to their extinction.

The Mateo the Tyrannotitan figure from PNSO has an articulated lower jaw.

This dinosaur is pronounced “Tie-ran-oh-tie-tan”.  Tyrannotitan chubutensis translates as the tyrant lizard of Chubut Province.

Tyrannotitan and Patagotitan

The discovery of Tyrannotitan cranial material has helped palaeontologists to better understand the morphology of carcharodontosaurid skulls.  For example, new size estimates were calculated for the total skull length of Giganotosaurus carolini.  In addition, scientists are slowly piecing together a trophic pyramid of the fauna associated with the Cerro Barcino Formation.  For example, fifty-seven Tyrannotitan teeth were found in association with the giant titanosaur Patagotitan.  The discovery of these teeth suggests that Tyrannotitan may have scavenged the bodies of these colossal dinosaurs.  It is also quite likely that Tyrannotitan hunted young, sick and old titanosaurs.  Although, it would have been a brave theropod to take on a healthy, fully-grown Patagotitan.

New Achillobator Model YouTube Short

By |2024-07-15T20:25:54+01:00July 11th, 2024|Categories: Beasts of the Mesozoic Models|0 Comments

With the arrival of the new for 2024 Beasts of the Mesozoic Achillobator giganticus figure, team members at Everything Dinosaur took the opportunity to create a short video.  The very first series of these articulated dinosaur figures featured dromaeosaurids.  It is wonderful to see new members of the Dromaeosauridae added to this range.  Achillobator (A. giganticus) is the largest known dromaeosaur from Asia.  Our YouTube short highlights the figure, shows the packaging and mentions our free Achillobator fact sheet that is sent out to our customers.

The video is under thirty seconds in length.  It begins with Mike from Everything Dinosaur sitting in the company’s huge warehouse surrounded by boxes of dinosaur models.  Views of the Achillobator and its packaging are provided.  This YouTube short concludes with Mike holding the free Achillobator giganticus fact sheet that is supplied with purchases.

The Achillobator giganticus Figure

Scientifically described in 1999 (Perle et al), Achillobator represents the first and largest dromaeosaurid known from the Bayan Shireh Formation of Mongolia.  Not all the skeleton is known.  However, based on the holotype and subsequent fossil discoveries, this theropod measured around five metres in length.  It was robustly built and probably weighed in excess of three hundred kilograms.  That is heavier than a male Siberian tiger, one of the largest and most formidable terrestrial carnivores around today!

An Impressive Articulated Theropod Model

The Beasts of the Mesozoic Achillobator giganticus figure is articulated. It has twenty-three points of articulation, permitting the model to be displayed in a variety of poses. The Achillobator is supplied with interchangeable feet, a flexible tail and a display base. The Beasts of the Mesozoic Achillobator giganticus includes posing rod accessories and a clear, plastic display base. We were most impressed with the artwork on the packaging. The illustrations are stunning.

It measures thirty-eight centimetres in length (approximately fifteen inches). The model has a declared scale of 1:18.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur congratulated the design team and praised their efforts stating:

“The model is beautiful and extremely detailed.  The colour scheme for this Late Cretaceous predator model was inspired by the extant California condor.”

Our thanks to dinosaur model collector William, who sent into Everything Dinosaur a Haolonggood Carnotaurus model review.  The review focuses upon the brown-coloured Li Zhong Haolonggood Carnotaurus.  The reviewer explained that he enjoyed collecting dinosaur models in pairs and considered Li Zhong to represent a female Carnotaurus.  A review of the other Carnotaurus figure, the grey-coloured version (Zhou Tong) was published on this blog last month.

William congratulated the design team at Haolonggood for making such an excellent theropod figure.  The detailed design was commented upon.  This dinosaur model has an articulated lower jaw, and it measures a little under twenty-three centimetres in length.  The Haolonggood Carnotaurus has a declared scale of 1:35.

The reviewer stated:

“I consider Li Zhong to be a female. Her beautiful earth tones would have been well suited to stand watch over a nest during the day, whilst her mate Zhou Tong guarded the nest at night whilst she hunted.”

Whilst working in the warehouse, we came across some beautiful CollectA Deluxe Beishanlong dinosaur models.  This 1:40 scale replica of a member of the Ornithomimosauria clade is quite difficult to obtain.  Most CollectA stockists do not have this feathered dinosaur model available.  However, we at Everything Dinosaur are committed to supporting the entire CollectA prehistoric model range.  As we checked and counted our stock, we took the opportunity to take some photographs of the Beishanlong figure.

Utahraptor ostrommaysi

Utahraptor is regarded as one of the largest members of the Dromaeosauridae family. Size estimates vary, but this theropod could have reached an adult size of more than six metres in length. It might have weighed as much as a North American grizzly bear (350 kilograms plus). It is known from fossil material collected from Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah. This dinosaur was formally named and described in 1993 (Kirkland, Gaston and Burge).

The design team behind the Beasts of the Mesozoic “raptors” are keen to introduce models of some of the larger dromaeosaurids into their range.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that they were looking forward to the shipment arriving at the company’s warehouse.

The spokesperson added:

“We have a substantial customer reserve list for Beasts of the Mesozoic figures.  When the stock arrives, we will make sure to contact all those customers who wanted one of these exciting new figures.”

New Haolonggood Carnotaurus Model is Reviewed

By |2024-07-01T21:37:01+01:00June 30th, 2024|Categories: Haolonggood Prehistoric Animal Models, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Our thanks to prehistoric animal model fan William who sent into Everything Dinosaur a review of the Haolonggood Carnotaurus model.  William’s first review focused on the grey-coloured version know as Zhou Tong.  This is a 1:35 scale replica of the famous South American abelisaurid Carnotaurus sastrei.

The Haolonggood Carnotaurus is available in two distinct colour schemes.  There is Zhou Tong with its greyish tones and this figure contrasts nicely with the other Haolonggood Carnotaurus.  The second figure is known as Li Zhong.  This model is a dusky brown colour.

Two new Haolonggood Carnotaurus models are coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur. The grey-coloured figure (Zhou Tong) is seen on the left. The other, dusky brown Haolonggood Carnotaurus (Li Zhong) is on the right.

The Haolonggood Carnotaurus Model (Zhou Tong)

In his review, William explained that he had begun to collect Haolonggood figures as he liked the idea of buying models in pairs or trios.  In addition, he explained that he thought Zhou Tong was the male Carnotaurus.  Whereas the brown-coloured Li Zhong was probably the female.  The reviewer explained that he had seen similar colour patterns in extant birds such as fowls.  The male being silver or grey in colour with its mate being either brown or wheat coloured.

Both figures measure approximately 22.5 cm in length and stand a fraction under 10 centimetres high. Each Haolonggood Carnotaurus has an articulated lower jaw.

William praised the design team at Haolonggood for their chosen colours.  These colours would help to camouflage these predators as they hunted at twilight or dawn.

When asked to comment about Zhou Tong the reviewer exclaimed:

“It is a great all-round figure from sculpt to colouration.  Haolonggood have made a rather classy Carnotaurus sastrei, and at a great price too.”

Praising Everything Dinosaur

William concluded his dinosaur model review by praising Everything Dinosaur.  He explained that the legion of prehistoric animal figure collectors truly valued the work of Everything Dinosaur team members.  He highlighted the company’s commitment to using quality packaging materials and pointed out that Everything Dinosaur had recently won an international award for customer service.  In addition, the reviewer praised Everything Dinosaur for the swift delivery of parcels.

“From searching the leading brands to all the tireless efforts to get the stock from suppliers into the company warehouse and onto customers.  Patrons of Everything Dinosaur can have the highest confidence in this UK-based business.”

William ended his review by stating that without the presence of Everything Dinosaur many collectors would miss out on dinosaur figures.

Our thanks to William for sending into Everything Dinosaur his Haolonggood Carnotaurus model review.
