Rebor “Lonesome George”

The detailed giant tortoise figure honours “Lonesome George” the last Pinta Island tortoise known to science. This tortoise died on June 24th, 2012. The subspecies Chelonoidis niger abingdonii became extinct. It is thought that “Lonesome George” was over a hundred years old when he died.

Rebor Replica Pays Tribute

“Lonesome George” has become a symbol for conservation. The preserved taxidermy of this tortoise is on display at the Fausto Llerena Breeding Centre in the Galapagos National Park headquarters on the island of Santa Cruz. The facility was established to help protect the remaining indigenous tortoise populations of the Galapagos Islands.

Sarcosuchus with a Flexible Tail

The Rebor Sarcosuchus imperator models are supplied with separate tails and bodies. To create the Sarcosuchus figure, simply insert the tail plug into the body cavity. Dipping the tail plug in hot water or adding a drop of vegetable oil to help lubricate the plug will help with the insertion.

The Sarcosuchus models have flexible tails. Therefore, these prehistoric crocodiles can be posed in different positions.

Take care when opening the jaws. We suggest dipping the jaws in hot water before easing them open.

Rebor Sarcosuchus imperator Models

The Rebor Sarcosuchus imperator models have a declared scale of 1:35. When assembled each prehistoric crocodile figure is approximately 45 cm in length. The models are supplied with a drowned juvenile Nigersaurus replica. It can be placed in the jaws to give the impression that the Sarcosuchus has grabbed a sauropod.

This figure is not quite so huge, but it still measures an impressive 42 cm long and it stands around 21 cm tall. The Nanmu Studio Spinosaurus Pharaoh has a declared scale of 1:35.

New PNSO Albertosaurus Dinosaur Model Reviewed

By |2024-01-02T14:36:52+00:00September 29th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Our thanks to dinosaur fan and model collector William who sent into Everything Dinosaur a review of the PNSO Albertosaurus. William wrote to Everything Dinosaur and explained how Albertosaurus was named and scientifically described. He commented that in 1905 Henry Fairfield Osborn had just presented his paper describing a new North American theropod Tyrannosaurus rex. The Albertosaurus genus was also erected in 1905.

PNSO Wally the Albertosaurus

The reviewer added:

“Almost as a footnote at the end of his paper, Osborn named Albertosaurus sarcophagus. Named in honour of the newly founded Canadian province of Alberta from which the type specimen was unearthed. Thus, we see the founding of the first two great houses of the Tyrannosauridae to the south the Tyrannosaurinae to the north the gracile Albertosaurinae.”

PNSO Albertosaurus Reviewed

In the email to Everything Dinosaur, the reviewer praised the PNSO Albertosaurus figure. It was stated that this was an amazing and highly detailed sculpt. The choice of colour scheme and the firm, articulated jaw were highlighted.

William commented:

“Finally, I own a truly accurate yet handsome Albertosaurus with that special PNSO touch we have come to love. From sculpt to skin texture all fused with the natural warm skin tones no need of garish colours. Finalising in the wonderful yet unique horned head with a firm articulated jaw. “Wally” is captured as in mid stride as in pursuit no boring or dull figures that are vaguely standing but glimpses of a living animals as in life never boring or static is what all models should portray LIFE!!!!. Thanks Everything Dinosaur.”

Haolonggood Model Boxes and New Dinosaur Models

By |2024-01-02T14:37:45+00:00September 25th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

After receiving several enquires from customers, Everything Dinosaur can confirm that all Haolonggood figures will be supplied in Haolonggood model boxes. We have been notified that some suppliers have been selling Haolonggood dinosaurs unboxed. The figures are unpacked and removed from their packaging prior to be shipped. Sending a figure in this way, might reduce postage costs, although it increases the chances of the model being damaged in transit.

We like to give our customers the opportunity of being the first to open a box and to see the figure for themselves. It is all about the purchasing experience. Everything Dinosaur will send out Haolonggood models in their original product packaging.

Haolonggood Model Boxes

The Haolonggood model boxes incorporate superb model photography. We know that many customers purchase our models as they want a pristine figure including the packaging. Some model boxes are never opened, they are stored in a boxed, mint condition by the collector. The photograph (above) shows Haolonggood model boxes in one of the company’s packing rooms ready to pack.

Meeting Customer Expectations

From the emails received, it seems that many Haolonggood fans have been disappointed when they receive an unboxed figure. Our customers can be assured that all our Haolonggood figures will be sent in their original product packaging.

A spokesperson for the UK-based mail order company explained:

“We appreciate how eager dinosaur model fans are for their delivery. We strive to pack and despatch parcels as quickly as we can and we ensure that the model and its outer packaging are well protected in the parcel. Customers can be assured that every single one of our Haolonggood figures can be sent out in its original packaging.”

Ouranosaurus Thumb Spikes

The earlier production run of these models lacked thumb spikes. However, once this omission had been highlighted, the design team at Haolonggood set about correcting this oversight. The digits on the manus (hand) have been remodelled to reflect more accurately the fossil record.

Everything Dinosaur will post up a short YouTube video in the near future that demonstrates how the model has been amended.

Dicraeosaurus Scale Drawing

The Haolonggood Dicraeosaurus sauropod model has a scale of 1:35. The figure measures a fraction under 36 cm long. It stands approximately 9.5 cm high.

Two species have been named. Both the type species Dicraeosaurus hansemanni and the potentially geologically younger D. sattleri are known from numerous skeletons, many of which are nearly complete. Dicraeosaurus had a short neck, and a relatively large head. The jaws were more robust than those of other diplodocids. It is likely that this sauropod fed on coarse plant material.

Dicraeosaurus is regarded as one of the largest of the dicraeosaurid dinosaurs. Palaeontologists estimate that it grew to a length of around fifteen metres.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that the team members were looking forward to the arrival of the Haolonggood models.

The spokesperson added:

“We expect the PNSO and Haolonggood shipments to arrive at our warehouse on the same day. It is likely that they will arrive next Wednesday [20th September]. We have made plans to ensure we can unpack the shipment rapidly and then get these sets of figures on-line quickly. We have also allocated some time that day to contact all those customers who wanted to be informed when the PNSO and Haolonggood figures arrived.”
