Rebor Oddities Extinction Models
Rebor Oddities “Extinction” Victorian neoclassical marble and bronze version. A wonderful pair of limited-edition and highly detailed replicas of a Velociraptor in contemplation cast in elastic resin and polystone. The fantastic Rebor Oddities “Extinction” replicas. These figures are highly-prized collector’s items.
Holding a human skull, the Velociraptor is in deep thought sat upon a pile of books. Such is the detail in this fantastic replica that there are twenty-three books listed, one for each of our twenty-three pairs of chromosomes. The books are a combination of fiction and non-fiction and team members at Everything Dinosaur wrote a blog post in the autumn outlining the contents of this dinosaur’s extensive library.
To read our earlier article and to see the list of books featured in this remarkable statue: The Rebor “Extinction” Library.
Each display piece has been skilfully crafted, and we congratulate the design team at Rebor for producing such an inspirational pair of figures. These are certainly dinosaur models with a difference. Our personal favourite is the Rebor Oddities “Extinction” Victorian neoclassical marble figure, although we suspect both these incredible figures will prove to be extremely popular amongst collectors.
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented.
“These are very innovative figures and quite striking. We have had lots of enquiries, not just from dinosaur fans and collectors but also from academics conducting research into various aspects of the human condition. Over the next day or so, we will be emailing all those who enquired and ensuring that they know that these limited-edition figures are available.”

Everything Dinosaur team members took time out of their busy schedule to take some photographs of the Nanmu Studio Ankylosaurus dinosaur model. This armoured dinosaur replica is part of the Nanmu Studio Jurassic Series range and it has been given the name “Mace” in recognition of that powerful tail club that is associated with this Late Cretaceous genus.

Papo the French manufacturer of replicas and figures is going to reintroduce two retired prehistoric animal models into their “Les Dinosaures” range in 2023. The Papo Woolly Rhino and the Papo Archaeopteryx figures will be available from Everything Dinosaur early next year.
Papo intend to reintroduce two recently retired models in quarter 1 of 2023 – the Papo Woolly Rhinoceros figure and the Papo Archaeopteryx model.
Papo Prehistoric Animal Models
The Papo Archaeopteryx figure was first added to the Papo range in 2014 before going out of production and being retired in 2019.

The Papo Woolly Rhinoceros model was introduced a year earlier than the Archaeopteryx (2013). It was retired a few years later. When it was first introduced the Papo Woolly Rhino figure was highly praised and Everything Dinosaur team members wrote about the shape of the horn.
Everything Dinosaur has received the official image from Papo of the new for 2023 Papo Kronosaurus model. Although no details of this new marine reptile figure have been published (information remains strictly embargoed), team members at Everything Dinosaur expect this figure to have an articulated jaw. It is due to be available around quarter 3 (July to September) of 2023.

A Marine Reptile with Barnacles
Eagle-eyed Papo model fans will note that there are some strange lumps and bumps visible on the upper arm, the top of the shoulder and along the leading edge of the front flipper. Everything Dinosaur has been able to use the official Papo image to gain a closer view of these features on the marine reptile model. The Kronosaurus has a colony of barnacles.

Parasites and Kronosaurus
Barnacles are a type of crustacean (Crustacea, from the Arthropoda phylum), they are often seen attached to the flippers and bodies of large whales. It is thought these whale barnacles evolved from barnacles that attached themselves to the carapace of marine turtles. Their evolutionary origins are indistinct, but it is believed that these types of parasitic barnacle evolved during the Cretaceous, so it is quite feasible to imagine a large marine reptile acting as a symbiont (living together) with a colony of stalkless barnacles, although they do seem relatively rare in the Early Cretaceous fossil record, before radiating and becoming more specious during the Late Cretaceous. As the fossil record of barnacles dates back to the Carboniferous, an Early Cretaceous marine giant such as Kronosaurus queenslandicus may have picked up some of these parasites as it patrolled the sea that covered much of what is now Australia approximately 115 million years ago.
Papo Kronosaurus Model
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“Whilst we can’t be certain about the presence of barnacles on a Kronosaurus, these apex predators probably suffered from many different types of parasite. It is great to see Papo adding a replica of another type of marine reptile to their model range.”
The spokesperson also confirmed that the Papo Kronosaurus figure was due in stock around quarter 3 (July to September) of 2023.
Everything Dinosaur team members have taken time out of their busy schedule to take some photographs of the spectacular Heavy Lance Triceratops model from Nanmu Studio.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“Triceratops regularly features in the top three of our survey looking at the most popular prehistoric animals. We congratulate the design team at Nanmu Studio for their superb horned dinosaur figures. It still amazes us that with our current stock of Triceratops models, we can offer customers more Nanmu Studio Triceratops model variants than the actual number of currently valid species of this iconic Late Cretaceous dinosaur.”

Our thanks to dinosaur fan and model collector William who sent into Everything Dinosaur a detailed PNSO Deinocheirus review accompanied by some additional facts and information about this bizarre Late Cretaceous theropod.
Jacques the PNSO Deinocheirus mirificus
The beautifully painted, feathered theropod – Jacques the Deinocheirus dinosaur model.
The reviewer praises PNSO for being able to get this item into production quickly. Jacques the Deinocheirus is described as “a bold but extremely welcome final gift to end their 2022 releases”. The reviewer also commented that this bizarre theropod had an increased profile due to its appearance in the award-winning television series “Prehistoric Planet”.
Super Duck!
William confesses that he was previously not a big fan of the “Super Duck” theropod, but the PNSO figure has persuaded him to add this dinosaur model to his collection. He compliments the design team for the detailed head sculpt, including the articulated jaw and the anatomical accuracy of the dinosaur’s bill. The reviewer marks the head as a 10 out of 10!
A close-up view of the elongated beak of the Deinocheirus model, this dinosaur has an articulated lower jaw.
PNSO Deinocheirus Review
Turning his attention to the main body sculpt, William compares the hump-backed appearance of this model to the neural spines found in the very distantly related Spinosaurus. The plumage is praised, and the feather sculpting is singled out for additional comment, with the reviewer stating that he would have purchased the model for its excellent plumage alone.
William states that in life Deinocheirus would have been a robust and massive animal and one best avoided by predators as it grazed. The tail fan is complimented although no cloaca could be detected on the figure, the presence of the feathers obscuring this anatomical detail. The long powerful tail reminded the reviewer of the large plumes of feathers found on the wings of ostriches.

The Forearm and Hindlimbs
The hands with their massive claws are described and the musculature of the forelimbs is commented upon. The integumentary covering is praised with the reviewer stating:
“In case you wonder, yes, PNSO did not slack! All under wings and body feathers are fully recreated in the finest detail.”
The large hip muscles of “Super Duck” are singled out for comment and the robust weight-bearing toes with their blunt claws are praised.
When commenting on the colour scheme chosen for the model, William explains that the tip of the bill is coloured tan brown with the reminder a rich yellow with a dark wash.
The flanks are a mixture of dark grey with black and white edging. The grey colour scheme continues down to the tip of the tail ending in a crown of white feathers with wide, grey and white bands to provide contrast.
William adds:
“The neural spine is reminiscent of a snow-topped mountain peak with a beige border separating the main body colouration.”
The PNSO Deinocheirus model measures 29.2 cm long and the head stands some 12.5 cm off the ground.
Providing Further Information on the Deinocheirus Figure
In his detailed review, William provided more information about the PNSO Deinocheirus model:
Scale: 1:32
Length: 11.4 inches
Height: 4.8 inches
In addition, he explained that the figure is supplied with a clear, plastic support stand, along with an A3-sized colour poster, a 64-page, illustrated booklet and a QR code which permits access to a short video about the model.

As well as providing a detailed review, William also supplied information on Deinocheirus and the history of its fossil discovery:
Time Period – Late Cretaceous 71-69 million years ago
Location – Nemegt Basin of the Gobi Desert (Mongolia)
Environment – An extensive river delta with a climate similar to that of tropical Africa or South America today
A Polish/Mongolian expedition uncovered the first fossil evidence of this theropod (1965). The fossils consisted of postcranial elements including three dorsal vertebrae and a complete shoulder girdle with the forelimbs, minus the claws from the right hand.
The dinosaur was formally described and named Deinocheirus mirificus in 1970.
William explained that work undertaken between 2012 and 2017 to find more specimens and to recover fossils in private collections led to a comprehensive reassessment of this dinosaur.
“Jacques is the greatest Deinocheirus mirificus ever created and if you are a serious collector, it is a must, the model will be the crown jewel in any collection.”
The reviewer also praised the efforts of Everything Dinosaur in sourcing prehistoric animal figures and the rapid delivery service the company offers.
Everything Dinosaur has received the official images for the new for 2023 Papo figures including the new Papo Mosasaurus model. We are now also able to confirm the model’s measurements. The Papo Mosasaurus is due in stock at Everything Dinosaur in early 2023.
Everything Dinosaur will be stocking the delayed Papo Mosasaurus model. It was due to come out at the end of 2022, it is now expected in early 2023.
Papo Mosasaurus Model
Originally scheduled to be introduced in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Papo Mosasaurus model was delayed and is now due to be released next year (early 2023). Many manufacturers have experienced problems with production, partly caused by issues arising from the global pandemic. However, Papo intend to introduce a total of four new figures into their “Les Dinosaures” range next year.
Two dinosaurs (Concavenator and Einiosaurus) are due to come out along with a second marine reptile model (Kronosaurus). There are also two product reissues (Archaeopteryx and Woolly Rhino).
Model measurements have been released by Papo for the new Mosasaurus figure. It will be 25.5 cm in length. The official Papo information also states that the Mosasaurus will be 15 cm in width with a height of 11 cm. We suspect that the width measurement has been taken across the front flippers and the height measurement refers to the height of the tail fluke off the ground.
The Papo Mosasaurus marine reptile model is due in stock at Everything Dinosaur early in 2023.
