The New PNSO Mila the Mapusaurus

By Mike|2024-01-02T16:56:11+00:00April 17th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The new for 2023 PNSO Mila the Mapusaurus dinosaur model is soon to arrive at the Everything Dinosaur warehouse. Team members expect delivery in a week or so.

Mapusaurus roseae

Mapusaurus is known from fossil material excavated from fluvial deposits associated with the Huincul Formation of Argentina. This large theropod was formally named and scientifically described in 2006 (Coria and Currie). Mapusaurus (M. roseae) was coeval with the super-sized titanosaur Argentinosaurus.

Palaeontologists have proposed that this carcharodontosaurid specialised in hunting sauropods. Large groups of Mapusaurus could have harassed a herd of titanosaurs and separated an individual. This animal might have been mobbed and attacked by several of the much smaller predators in a largely uncoordinated attack. The meat-eaters could have bitten off chunks of flesh that weakened their victim. The enormous Argentinosaurus could have eventually succumbed to its wounds.

The carcase of a large Argentinosaurus could have fed carnivorous dinosaurs for several weeks. The corpse would have probably attracted a huge number of scavengers.

Mila the Mapusaurus

The PNSO Mila the Mapusaurus dinosaur model is supplied with a sci-art poster, a clear, plastic support stand and a full-colour, illustrated Mapusaurus booklet. A QR code on the product packaging provides dinosaur fans access to a short video that explains how the model was created.

Dinosaur Model with an Articulated Lower Jaw

The stunning Mapusaurus model has incredible details and has already attracted many positive comments from dinosaur fans and model collectors. It measures 36 cm in length and the figure stands a fraction under 11 cm high. Mila the Mapusaurus dinosaur model has an articulated lower jaw.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur praised the PNSO design team and commented:

“We are really pleased to see a Mapusaurus model being introduced by the highly respected team at PNSO.”

A Stunning Customised Dino Dana Zuul Dinosaur Model

By Mike|2024-01-02T20:06:39+00:00April 16th, 2023|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Our thanks to model collector Elizabeth who gave Everything Dinosaur access to some images of her customised Dino Dan Zuul dinosaur model. The armoured dinosaur figure has been repainted by the very talented Martin Garratt. The British model maker also gave Zuul a skilfully crafted display base.

The Dino Dana Zuul Dinosaur Model

The recently introduced Dino Dana Zuul dinosaur model, is part of the Safari Ltd range of prehistoric animal figures. This armoured dinosaur figure, a representation of Zuul crurivastator, has been praised by model collectors. The standard figure is predominantly green. Martin has chosen to give the dinosaur a different colour scheme.

When this ankylosaurid from the Judith Formation of Montana was announced, Danielle Dufault was commissioned to provide an illustration which accompanied the media release. The Canadian illustrator painted her Zuul green. This motif was reflected in the colour scheme chosen by Safari Ltd for the figure.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s blog post about the discovery of this armoured dinosaur and to learn about its connection to a film that was released in 1984: Zuul – the Destroyer of Shins.

Adding a Display Base

Martin Garratt has placed the figure on a display base which is in proportion to the armoured dinosaur model. In her email to Everything Dinosaur, Elizabeth explained that she wanted the base to have an element of height. The elevation would off-set the relatively squat appearance of Zuul. Elizabeth also requested that the display base should have plenty of plants to keep this herbivore happy. Zuul has been displayed in a lush environment. The verdant colours of the plants that Martin has added contrast nicely with the colouration of the model.

The presence of the large, sloping boulder on the base provides the element of height the collector was after.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Our thanks to Elizabeth for permitting us access to the photographs. Martin has produced another little masterpiece. The colour scheme he has chosen makes the spectacular armour on this dinosaur stand out.”

We thank Elizabeth for permitting access to the images of her latest, spectacular addition to her model collection.

The New Mojo Fun Coelacanth Model

By Mike|2024-01-02T20:08:07+00:00April 14th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

The Mojo Fun Coelacanth model is in stock at Everything Dinosaur. This replica of a “living fossil” is an excellent example of a Coelacanth figure. Team members were keen to bring in this figure. It is a vivid blue colour and website sales of this model will be accompanied by an Everything Dinosaur Coelacanth fact sheet.

Coelacanth

Thought to have died out at around the same time as the non-avian dinosaurs. Naturalists and palaeontologists were shocked when a Coelacanth specimen was caught in a shark gill net at the mouth of the Chalumna River on the east coast of South Africa in 1938. Two living species are known Latimeria chalumnae from the Indian Ocean and Latimeria menadoensis, which is known from Indonesian waters. Although these fish are assigned to the same genus, an analysis of DNA suggests that the two populations have been separated from each other for several million years.

Mojo Fun Coelacanth Model

The Mojo Fun Coelacanth model depicts the rostral pores on the top the snout. These openings lead to a jelly filled cavity in the centre of the animal’s head. It is thought that this organ plays a role in prey detection by sensing the weak electrical signals produced by prey.

Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur

The Coelacanth has a remarkably small brain. A fish measuring around 1.5 metres long and weighing more than fifty kilograms may have a brain weighing only a few grammes. No known living vertebrate has so small a brain in relation to its body size.

New CollectA Triceratops horridus Figures

By Mike|2024-01-02T20:05:36+00:00April 10th, 2023|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Newsletters, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Two CollectA Triceratops horridus figures are featured in the latest edition of the Everything Dinosaur newsletter. The superb, 1:40 scale CollectA Deluxe T. horridus is joined by the recently introduced CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular Triceratops horridus – confronting model.

CollectA Triceratops dinosaur models. — A pair of CollectA Triceratops horridus are also included in the latest Everything Dinosaur customer newsletter. The new CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular Triceratops horridus – confronting is alongside the 2022 CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale T. horridus.

CollectA Triceratops horridus Figures

The CollectA Deluxe Triceratops horridus model was introduced in 2022. It provided collectors with the opportunity to acquire a large Triceratops figure which reflected some of the latest research into this famous ceratopsian. The skin texture of the replica for example, mimics what has been observed in Triceratops skin impressions currently being studied in the United States.

CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Triceratops

One of eight new CollectA figures, the Triceratops horridus – confronting model is part of the not-to-scale CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular figures. Since Triceratops was formally named and described (Marsh 1889), numerous species have been erected. However, must scientists only recognise two T. horridus and the geologically younger T. prorsus. An intermediate species probably exists but this has yet to formally named and described by palaeontologists.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Perhaps the introduction of a second, smaller T. horridus figure marks a trend. CollectA may add more figures based on the full, binomial scientific name. The 2024 range introductions may reflect this trend. We shall have to wait and see.”

New CollectA Models Feature in Newsletter

By Mike|2024-03-09T15:57:01+00:00April 8th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Newsletters, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The first batch of new for 2023 CollectA models feature in the latest Everything Dinosaur newsletter. The Collect Deluxe 1:40 scale Mosasaurus has arrived along with Shastasaurus, a replica of a Triassic ichthyosaur. The Cambrian is represented by the arrival of the Anomalocaris figure. It is great to see CollectA introducing more figures of Palaeozoic invertebrates.

The biggest model to be introduced in 2023 is the 1:100 scale replica of the giant Asian sauropod Ruyangosaurus. This spectacular figure is the headline attraction in Everything Dinosaur’s latest newsletter.

Ornithischian Dinosaurs

Ornithischian dinosaurs are represented by Hadrosaurus and Brighstoneus. Hadrosaurus (H. foulkii), was the first duck-billed dinosaur to be scientifically described that is still recognised by scientists today. Brighstoneus in contrast, was named and described much more recently (2021).

CollectA Models

Another dinosaur that was recently described Ceratosuchops (C. inferodios), also has its own CollectA model. The CollectA Ceratosuchops is depicted in a fishing pose. This dinosaur, known from fossils from the Isle of Wight, is thought to have been a piscivore.

Marine Reptiles

The latest Everything Dinosaur customer newsletter also highlighted the two new CollectA marine reptile models. A replica of the primitive Triassic ichthyosaur Shastasaurus was accompanied by the larger, 1:40 scale Mosasaurus model.

CollectA Anomalocaris Model

The newsletter also featured the CollectA Anomalocaris model. A fantastic replica of what is thought to be one of the world’s first apex predators.

Last but not least, subscribers to Everything Dinosaur’s regular emailed newsletter also received news about the arrival of the Triceratops horridus – confronting model.

The Amazing Papo Green Styracosaurus Dinosaur Model

By Mike|2024-01-02T16:56:56+00:00April 2nd, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

Team members at Everything Dinosaur took advantage of the settled weather to take a photograph of the splendid Papo Green Styracosaurus model outdoors. This new colour variant of the Papo Styracosaurus model was added to the Papo “Les Dinosaures” range last year. It has proved popular with dinosaur model fans and collectors. Its popularity could be explained by its striking colouration or perhaps the excellence of the painting. It could be popular because of the detailed skin texture. Whatever the reason, the Papo green Styracosaurus has been a welcome addition to the Papo range for fans of horned dinosaurs.

The Papo Green Styracosaurus

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that this ceratopsian figure had been introduced in the autumn of 2022. The original version (red Styracosaurus), was introduced in 2011. The original Styracosaurus figure has been retired and is out of production.

Our thanks to dinosaur fan and model collector Caldey who sent into Everything Dinosaur some pictures of her latest Beasts of the Mesozoic model acquisitions. The young artist and dinosaur fan had taken some ceratopsians into the garden and taking advantage of the sunny weather took some photographs of the articulated figures.

Beasts of the Mesozoic

The Beasts of the Mesozoic range originally consisted of articulated “raptor” figures. It has been expanded to included horned dinosaurs such as the splendid Diabloceratops figure. A trio of juvenile Diabloceratops is a very recent addition to this popular series. These youngsters scale up well when compared to the adult Diabloceratops figure.

“Old Buck” Styracosaurus

The Beasts of the Mesozoic “Old Buck” Styracosaurus looks very much at home in the garden. It seems to be enjoying the sunny weather. The photographer has taken care to find suitable places on the rockery to photograph the figures. The sunlight certainly highlights the vivid stripes on the horns and back of the Styracosaurus.

On thanks to Caldey for sending in these photos of the latest editions to her model collection.
