New Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Models Announced

By |2024-08-17T06:30:08+01:00August 16th, 2024|Categories: Rebor Models and Figures|0 Comments

Rebor have announced that they will be introducing two, new Tyrannosaurus rex figures in the autumn of 2024.  The Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream figures (Mountain and Skull Walker) will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in a few weeks.

The Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream (Mountain version).

The new for autumn 2024 Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream in the Mountain colouration.

Both figures have been beautifully sculpted. The represent robust variants on a T. rex theme.  Each model measures around forty-two centimetres in length.  The head height is estimated to be around fifteen centimetres.

These new tyrannosaur figures will have articulated lower jaws.  We expect the tails will be flexible and require insertion into the base of the model to complete assembly. The forelimbs will probably be articulated too.

The Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream Pair

The Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream pair, Skull Walker and Mountain will be arriving on the same shipment. Everything Dinosaur customers will be able to select their preferred model, or perhaps pick up both.   A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur praised these figures and pointed out the innovative “arrow-shaped” end of the tail.  The spokesperson stated that the skin texture on these figures looked fantastic.

Commenting further on their appearance, the spokesperson added:

“Skull Walker and Mountain are excellent figures.  I am most impressed with the amazing texture and fine details of the scales.  For me, these two figures remind me of the Vastatosaurus rex from the 2005 film ‘King Kong’.  Their grey, pebbly appearance, blunt heads and large, irregular teeth remind me of the tyrannosaurine from Skull Island.”

A Beautiful Dinosaur Diorama

By |2024-08-16T12:55:40+01:00August 14th, 2024|Categories: Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

Our thanks to model collector and dinosaur fan Carl, who sent into Everything Dinosaur some pictures of his latest diorama.  Carl was inspired by the 2001 film “Jurassic Park III”.  This was the third film in the award-winning “Jurassic Park” series and the first of the franchise not to be directed by Steven Spielberg. Whilst it reprised many of the characters from the earlier movies, a Spinosaurus replaced Tyrannosaurus rex the apex predator.  Carl’s diorama recreates a famous scene from the film.  The Spinosaurus fights T. rex!  The Nanmu Studio T. rex meets its demise after an assault from a W-Dragon Spinosaurus.

The W-Dragon Spinosaurus Battles the Nanmu Studio T. rex

The picture (above) shows the carefully composed prehistoric animal diorama.  This is Carl’s interpretation of the classic scene from the film Jurassic Park III when a Spinosaurus battles a T. rex. The diorama was created using the W-Dragon Spinosaurus and the Nanmu Studio Once and Future King T. rex.  As dinosaur fans will know, the Tyrannosaurus rex meets its demise.

The W-Dragon Spinosaurus stands in triumph over the corpse of the Tyrannosaurus rex.  The Nanmu Studio T. rex figure has been replaced by the Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex carcase in the “jungle” colour scheme.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Jurassic Park has inspired lots of dinosaur dioramas.  The Spinosaurus and T. rex is one of the most iconic scenes from the franchise.  We congratulate Carl for skilfully blending figures from several ranges to recreate this dramatic scene.”

CollectA Plants and the Rebor Display Base “Winter Tears”

In addition, to the two protagonists, Carl has used numerous other props in his prehistoric animal diorama.  Some CollectA prehistoric plants have been used.  For example, the large CollectA cycad trees add depth and help to frame the scene. Whilst the smaller Monathesia and cycads model accompanied by the Williamsonia figures in the foreground help to draw the viewer’s attention to the dinosaurs.

Recreating some of the incredible scenes from the “Jurassic Park” franchise using detailed prehistoric animal dioramas creates a sense of wonder and excitement. Dioramas such as Carl’s capture some of the thrilling magic that amazed cinema audiences.

New Rebor Zombie T. rex Models in Stock

By |2024-08-11T07:42:53+01:00August 11th, 2024|Categories: Rebor Models and Figures|0 Comments

The new Rebor Zombie T. rex models are now in stock at Everything Dinosaur.  Two fantasy dinosaur figures with different colour schemes.  They also have different severed arm accessories.  However, both models share the same Rebor build quality.  Marrying the fascination of prehistoric dinosaurs with the modern horror of zombies is a truly inspired concept.  We congratulate the design team at Rebor for their innovative creations.

To view the range of Rebor figures available from Everything Dinosaur: Rebor Figures.

The Rebor Zombie T. rex Models (Plain and Jungle)

Two Rebor zombie T. rex colour variants are available.  There is the brown version, known as “Plain” and the green version “Jungle”.  Both models measure around forty-one centimetres in length when assembled.  Collectors have to insert the tail into the rear of the model.  Fortunately, in the figures we looked at, this was easy to accomplish.  The head height is approximately eleven centimetres.  Each figure has a declared scale of 1:35.

Rebor Zombie T. rex figures (Jungle and Plain).

What an amazing pair of zombie dinosaurs! The Rebor Zombie T. rex Cannibal Corpse Jungle (left) and the Plain colour variant (right). Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

The models are supplied with a transparent support stand.  Purchasers will also receive an Everything Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex fact sheet.  In addition, each figure has a severed arm accessory.  The arms are different.  We think the “Jungle” version is supplied with a Spinosaurus severed limb.  In contrast, the “Plain” version of Zombie T. rex has the severed arm of an Indominus.  Of course, we could be wrong about the Indominus, but we like to think that Rebor have done this to acknowledge the influence of the “Jurassic Park/Jurassic World” influence on dinosaur designs.

Combining Dinosaurs and Zombies

Mike from Everything Dinosaur praised the team at Rebor for their creativity.

He commented:

“Marrying our fascination with dinosaurs with the horror concept of the living dead is an extremely clever idea.  Rebor has demonstrated that they are an innovative company.  The detail on these figures is most impressive.  If you like gore and fantasy figures, then these models are a must have.”

Both “Jungle” and “Plain” have articulated lower jaws and articulated arms.  The tail is flexible too. Rebor has declared a scale of 1:35 for these two tyrannosaurs.  The idea of these ancient apex predators being reanimated as mindless, ravenous undead creatures is both chilling and captivating.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur added:

“What makes these two T. rex figures compelling is the contrast between the power of these theropods and the otherworldly horror of zombies.  Rebor have once again demonstrated how creative and imaginative they are.”

These are two most impressive dinosaur figures.  Furthermore, these models are a fusion of awe-inspiring natural history and our darkest supernatural nightmares.

New Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex Figure Reviewed

By |2024-08-02T10:50:54+01:00August 3rd, 2024|Categories: Eofauna Scientific Research Models|0 Comments

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.

You can read William’s review of the Eofauna T. rex model here: Eofauna “Sue” Model is Reviewed.

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.

Which are the Best Prehistoric Animal Models?

By |2024-07-23T14:32:14+01:00July 27th, 2024|Categories: Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

At Everything Dinosaur, we get sent lots of questions by dinosaur fans.  We try our best to reply to them all.  Sometimes the questions we receive relate to a new dinosaur discovery.  We get enquiries about the latest research and fossil finds.  In addition, our email inbox is populated with enquiries about prehistoric animal figures.  Some of these questions involve us providing information about a single model.  For example, recently we received lots of enquiries about the new Eofauna T. rex 1/35th scale model. However, we also receive more general questions, such as which are the best prehistoric animal models?   This is a tricky question to answer.  After all, an appreciation of dinosaur and prehistoric animal models is extremely subjective.

The Best Prehistoric Animal Models?

Prehistoric animals and extinct creatures have long captivated the imagination of children and adults alike. The most popular museums tend to be ones that focus on natural history. The most popular galleries in these museums are often the ones containing prehistoric animal fossils. From the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex, to the majestic mammoth (Mammuthus), these animals drive curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. Moreover, for those seeking to bring the past to life, high-quality animal replicas can be an invaluable resource.  Whether used for educational purposes, creative storytelling, or simply as display pieces in museums, prehistoric animal models offer a tangible connection to ancient ecosystems.

The picture (above) shows the popular Papo running T. rex figure in a museum exhibit featuring tyrannosaur material.  Papo prehistoric animals may not be the most scientifically accurate models, but these figures have been spotted being used in museums.

Scientific Accuracy or Play Value?

Arguably, the best prehistoric animal models not only capture the unique physical characteristics of their subjects, but also their sense of power and presence. Many also feature articulated joints, allowing for dynamic posing and creative play.  So, when considering which are the best prehistoric animal models what factors should we prioritise?  Do we focus on scientific accuracy or play value?  For example, the Beasts of the Mesozoic figures are essentially for display.  However, their stunning paintwork along with their myriad of articulated joints can attract younger dinosaur fans to this model range.

Additionally, there are personal preferences to consider.  For Everything Dinosaur team members, it is not possible for us to answer the question about “the best prehistoric animal models”.  Any answers would be difficult to quantify and extremely subjective.  Ultimately, it is a case of “beauty being in the eye of the beholder” and there are probably no right or wrong answers to this question.

Happy model collecting.

New Eofauna T. rex Model is Reviewed

By |2024-07-21T18:46:55+01:00July 22nd, 2024|Categories: Eofauna Scientific Research Models|0 Comments

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.

Our thanks to William for his kind words and for his Eofauna T. rex model review.

Bullyland Ichthyosaurus Figures New into Stock

By |2024-07-24T16:35:58+01:00July 21st, 2024|Categories: Bullyland Prehistoric Animal Figures|0 Comments

The rare Bullyland Ichthyosaurus figures are back into stock at Everything Dinosaur. These marine reptile models have been in and out of production for the best part of a decade.  We know how keen model collectors are to obtain rare figures, so we do our best to stock these difficult to find models.

Bullyland was formed in 1973. The company originated from the small town of Spraitbach near Stuttgart in Germany. The proximity to the Stuttgart Natural History Museum (Staatliche Museum für Naturkunde), led to a collaboration between the company and palaeontologists on a range of prehistoric animal figures.  Bullyland is perhaps more famous for its movie figures.  However, the company has always manufactured a small range of prehistoric animal models.

Bullyland Ichthyosaurus Figures

The Bullyland Ichthyosaurus figures arrived last week (July 2024).  The models measure 21.5 cm in length and the manufacturer has declared a scale of 1:60.  In the Bullyland range, there are several articulated figures.  However, the Ichthyosaurus figure has no points of articulation.  Many of the prehistoric animals in this range are hand-painted and the Bullyland Ichthyosaurus has been praised for its colour scheme.

Models of Marine Reptiles

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur welcomed the Bullyland Ichthyosaurus figures back into stock. The spokesperson added:

“It is always a pleasure to bring into stock rare or difficult to obtain figures.  We know how keen collectors are to get every model in a range and the Bullyland Ichthyosaurus has been hard to find.  At Everything Dinosaur, we listened to our customers, and we have set about bringing this figure back and making it available.”

It was explained that the Bullyland range included other marine reptile models.  Currently, a Liopleurodon and an Elasmosaurus were part of this German range of figures.

The New Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex Model

By |2024-07-25T14:06:44+01:00July 17th, 2024|Categories: Eofauna Scientific Research Models|0 Comments

Team members at Everything Dinosaur took some photographs of the recently introduced Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur model.  A new 1/35th scale figure was taken to the photography studio, the lights turned on and the model carefully placed on the turntable.  Several photos were taken, the figure was photographed from different angles.  It is a fantastic replica of the “king of the tyrant lizards”.

The Eofauna Tyrannosaurus rex Figure

This is a superb theropod dinosaur model. It is a museum quality replica of the famous T. rex specimen housed at the Field Museum in Chicago.  This is a model of the Tyrannosaurus rex nicknamed “Sue”.  It is a wonderful Eofauna model in 1:35 scale. The Eofauna T. rex is supplied with an Everything Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex fact sheet.

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.”
