PNSO will be adding a replica of the fearsome North American theropod Acrocanthosaurus (A. atokensis) to their mid-size prehistoric animal model range. Pictures of this exciting new figure have been revealed and Everything Dinosaur can announce that this model should be in stock next month (June 2022). Team members at Everything Dinosaur are looking forward to receiving the PNSO Fergus the Acrocanthosaurus dinosaur model into stock.

*PNSO Fergus the Acrocanthosaurus has an articulated lower jaw* *and it measures over 32 cm in length.*

Acrocanthosaurus atokensis

Rumours had been circulating for some time within the dinosaur model collecting community that PNSO was due to add a replica of this super-sized, Early Cretaceous carcharodontosaurid to its already extensive model range. Everything Dinosaur can now reveal that this figure will be available in the early summer.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We are delighted to announce that an Acrocanthosaurus is being added to the PNSO model range. The company has expressed an ambition to dramatically increase the range of models that it offers and over the last two years or so, we have seen Allosaurus, Yutyrannus, Carnotaurus, Qianzhousaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Tarbosaurus replicas added to their range and now we have a fantastic model of an Acrocanthosaurus joining the PNSO portfolio too.”

PNSO Fergus the Acrocanthosaurus Model Measurements

The PNSO Fergus the Acrocanthosaurus model measures an impressive 32.5 cm in length and the figure stands around 10.5 cm tall. Although PNSO does not declare a scale for its mid-size models, based on Acrocanthosaurus having an estimated size of 12 metres, team members at Everything Dinosaur have stated that this figure is in approximately 1:37 scale.

The Remarkable Eofauna Konobelodon atticus is Reviewed

By Mike|2024-12-30T15:11:24+00:00May 12th, 2022|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Our thanks to prehistoric animal fan and model collector William who sent into Everything Dinosaur a review of his recently purchased Eofauna Konobelodon atticus figure.

William wrote to Everything Dinosaur commenting on how well packaged his parcel had been. The Konobelodon atticus is the fourth prehistoric figure released by Eofauna and he praised the scientific accuracy of this exciting range.

Eofauna Scientific Research Konobelodon atticus

The stunning Eofauna Konobelodon model measures 23 cm long and stands approximately 11 cm high.

Konobelodon Reviewed

William began his review by explaining that the skull was longer and lower than those of modern elephants. He compared the Konobelodon head to other extinct proboscideans such as mastodons and gomphotheres. He highlighted the position of the eyes and the orbits set deeper and protected by a ridge of bone.

William summarised how these prehistoric elephants got their nickname “Shovel-Tuskers” and postulated that due to the observed pattern of wear on the tusks, the lower tusks were probably used to rasp the trunks of trees in order to feed on the bark.

William praised the trunk on the Eofauna model, commenting that it looked very natural and with the tip of the trunk swaying to the left it gave the impression that this elephant was either feeding or drinking.

The reviewer added:

“As with all the Eofauna Proboscidea no detail is missed on the mouth from pink tongue to the tusks and the nasal openings. There are two, beautiful, pale yellow eyes that even in miniature form seem to portray the Proboscidea as having wisdom and compassion.”

The Eofauna Scientific Research Konobelodon figure is in approximately 1:35 scale. Originally named in 1857, Konobelodon atticus has had a long and complicated taxonomic history. William praises this figure for its scientific accuracy.

Roaming the Savannah or Forest

The body is described as being long and robust, typical of the Amebelodontinae. William points out that old illustrations of this animal depicted it as a sprawling hippo-like swamp dweller. The Eofauna Scientific Research replica is a modern interpretation, this model would not be out of place roaming a savannah or forest.

William stated:

“This is all down to Eofauna’s painstaking research to create the perfect accurate model.”

Information About K. atticus

William remarked that the model’s colour scheme was similar to the colouration seen today in extant Asian elephants with a mixture of splashes of pink and fleshy tones on the ears, chest, forehead and trunk.

The toenails have had the same pink and grey wash applied and the tuft of black hair on the end of the tail was singled out for comment by the reviewer.

William provided the model’s measurements:

Scale: 1/35.
Height: 4 inches.
Length: 9 inches.

A short history of the discovery of the first Konobelodon fossil material was provided encompassing the role played in the discovery by the historian John Finlay, soldiers in the army of the Bavaria that occupied Greece and how the fossils came to the notice of the German palaeontologist Johan Andreas Wagner.

Epoch: Miocene 15–10 million years ago.
Geographical Range: North America, Europe and China.
Weight: 9-10 Tons.
Height: 12-13 Feet.
Length: 26 Feet.

The new for 2022 Eofauna Konobelodon atticus model is supplied with a data card and Everything Dinosaur will also provide a product fact sheet with sales of this figure.

William concluded his review by stating that in his opinion the Eofauna Konobelodon prehistoric elephant model was a “masterpiece” and he praised Everything Dinosaur for their excellent customer service and the swift delivery of his order.

Our thanks to William for sending into Everything Dinosaur his Eofauna Konobelodon model review.

William Reviews the New Eofauna Diplodocus carnegii Model

By Mike|2024-12-30T14:46:46+00:00May 9th, 2022|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Our thanks to dinosaur fan and model collector William who sent into Everything Dinosaur a review of the new for 2022 Eofauna Scientific Research Diplodocus carnegii model. William commented that the model arrived within 24-hours of placing the order and it was perfectly and expertly wrapped, being supplied in a strong cardboard box to protect the model in transit.

The new for 2022 Eofauna Diplodocus carnegii dinosaur model is supplied with a beautifully illustrated collector’s card. Everything Dinosaur team members helped with the hang tag and labelling for the new Eofauna Diplodocus.

The Second Sauropod from Eofauna Scientific Research

In William’s review he pointed out that the Diplodocus carnegii model was the second sauropod figure to be released by Eofauna following the introduction of their Atlasaurus figure in 2019. He praises the typically small diplodocid head, highlights the skin wrinkles and suggests that some palaeontologists think that sauropods had beaked lips to help them shear vegetation. William states that the beak keratin on the model is painted black which contrasts nicely with the inside of the mouth which is painted pink.

He highlights the dermal spines and comments upon the dermal bumps that are depicted over the large body.

The Eofauna Diplodocus carnegii model measures around 60 cm in length and stands 11 cm tall. It is a 1/40th scale model.

A Terrific Torso

The reviewer reflects on the scientifically accurate sculpt of D. carnegii, from the finely rendered legs with the toenails well painted, including the more prominent inner toe claw on all four, compact, sturdy feet (digit I). William states that:

“Never will you see such a long model from the tip of the neck to the end of its deadly tail tip.”

The complex colour scheme complete with its counter shading is discussed in William’s review and he praises the design team at Eofauna for their depiction of this iconic dinosaur.

William added:

“When you view the model from a side profile you see a pleasing, warm, earthy palette of hues just right for this Dippy.”

The reviewer comments that this figure is in 1/40th scale and measures between 24 and 25 inches in length and stands around 4 inches tall. He explains that this Diplodocus species is associated with the Morrison Formation (Upper Jurassic).

Diplodocus Biography

In concluding his review, William kindly provided some additional notes about this remarkable sauropod genus. Explaining that the genus was erected by the American palaeontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1878.

Weight: 15-20 Tonnes.
Height: 16 feet high at the hip.
Length: 88 feet.
Neck length: 20-21 feet.

Ending his model review William kindly praised Everything Dinosaur stating:

“May I take a moment and thank the entire team of Everything Dinosaur.”

He is excited about future model introductions and is looking forward to hearing news of 2023 model releases from Eofauna Scientific Research.

Our congratulations to collector and model maker Hugh who sent into Everything Dinosaur a picture of the base that he had made for his recently acquired Nanmu Studio Brachiosaurus “Watchman” figure.

The recently introduced Nanmu Studio Jurassic Series Brachiosaurus figures are very impressive dinosaur models. With a head height of around 43 cm, these imposing sauropods tend to dominate collector’s display cabinets, Hugh has customised his model providing it with a unique, skilfully created base, complete with footprint impressions and vegetation.

Nanmu Studio Jurassic Series Brachiosaurus

As well as making a display base for the Nanmu Studio Jurassic Series Brachiosaurus, talented model maker Hugh has created bases for other figures in his collection, such as Eofauna prehistoric elephants and the Rebor 1/11th scale gorilla replica, which Hugh used to create his own personal tribute to the movie monster “King Kong”.

Model maker Hugh has given his Rebor Gorilla figure a well-proportioned display base. The plinth works well with the gorilla model and the dinosaur skull is an additional feature that provides a sense of scale to the cleverly composed piece. Picture credit: Hugh.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We are extremely impressed with Hugh’s work. Team members enjoy looking at the pictures of model collections submitted by our customers and we have been most impressed with the display bases that Hugh has designed and created for his figures. We congratulate him, the display figures that he has created have provided him with a unique model collection.”

This exciting new addition to the Rebor portfolio is expected to be in stock at Everything Dinosaur at the same time as the Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex “Kiss” mountain version (late June/July 2022).

It is not known whether the introduction of “Tusk” will seal the fate of the iconic 2015 Rebor King T-REX replica, leading it to be retired and withdrawn from production.

Caldey Draws a Beautiful Carnotaurus

By Mike|2024-12-30T08:27:56+00:00April 22nd, 2022|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Drawings, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page|0 Comments

Our thanks to young dinosaur fan and artist Caldey who sent into Everything Dinosaur a wonderful illustration of the South American abelisaurid Carnotaurus (C. sastrei). Caldey’s pencil drawing captures this large predator and shows plenty of fine detailing and different sized scales on the animal’s skin. If you look carefully, one of the bony horns on top of this dinosaur’s head, from which this animal was named (meat-eating bull), has been damaged. Scientists remain uncertain as to the function of these small horns, although they may have played a role in species recognition, asserted dominance or perhaps were involved in visual communication.

The illustration of the fearsome Carnotaurus by Caldey. The drawing was inspired by the Jurassic World Carnotaurus. Team members at Everything Dinosaur expect that the forthcoming film “Jurassic World Dominion” will inspire a new generation of palaeoartists. Picture credit: Caldey.

“Jurassic World Dominion”

Caldey was inspired to produce a Carnotaurus drawing by the forthcoming film “Jurassic World Dominion”, which is thought to be the last film in the “Jurassic Park/Jurassic World” movie franchise. The COVID-19 pandemic had delayed the release date for this eagerly anticipated film, it is now scheduled for global cinema release on June 10th (2022). The trailer for the film was released eight weeks ago and has already received over fifty million views on YouTube.

When viewing the image that Caldey had sent into us, it reminded team members of the recently introduced PNSO Carnotaurus figure “Domingo”.

We compared Caldey’s excellent drawing with one of the images we have in our database for the PNSO Domingo the Carnotaurus model.

Caldey was inspired by the Carnotaurus seen in a film, but we think the drawing is similar to the PNSO Carnotaurus model Domingo. Picture credit for the illustration: Caldey.
