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!

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.
