The Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel contains dozens of CollectA model video reviews. We have plans to release a video highlighting all seven of the new for 2024 CollectA prehistoric animal figures.

Everything Dinosaur on YouTube: The Company YouTube Channel.

The CollectA Deluxe Velociraptor Model

The CollectA Deluxe Velociraptor is in approximate 1:6 scale. The early prototype figure we highlight in the video review is about the actual size of the production figures. It measures 32 cm long. At a scale of 1:6 a fully-grown Velociraptor would be 1.92 metres in length. At this size, it is within the parameters for Velociraptor mongoliensis proposed by most palaeontologists.

The Velociraptor genus was erected in 1924, when Velociraptor mongoliensis was formally described (Osborn). CollectA plans to introduce a new, updated Velociraptor to celebrate a hundred years since this dinosaur was named.

Dreadnoughtus schrani

This huge sauropod was formally described in 2014 (Lacovara et al). Fossils representing two individual animals were excavated from outcrops of the Cerro Fortaleza Formation in Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia. The discovery of well-preserved limb bones enabled the research team to use limb bone circumference calculations to estimate the body weight of this leviathan. At the time of publication, it was suggested that Dreadnoughtus could have weighed more than 59 tonnes. The specimen upon which this body mass estimate was based, was not fully grown.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that this new for 2024 CollectA figure would be in stock early in 2024. No arrival date had been confirmed at this time, but the figure could be in stock around March 2024.

*The CollectA Deluxe Dreadnoughtus in posterior view.*

Dreadnoughtus was scientifically described in 2014 (Lacovara et al). Although body mass estimates have been challenged it remains one of the largest terrestrial vertebrates known to science. The genus contains a single species D. schrani. Two skeletons were found, and between them about 45% of the total skeleton of this huge titanosaur has been documented and described.

Dreadnoughtus Video

The video will highlight some of the features on the prototype model. It will cover colour choice, the arrangement of the dermal armour and the inclusion of thumb claws. The narrator will ask what other sauropod figures would you like CollectA to make?

This video is one of a series of Everything Dinosaur YouTube videos that focus on the new model introductions from CollectA. The CollectA Deluxe Dreadnoughtus video review will be posted up on the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel in a few days.

New Haolonggood Ouranosaurus Thumb Spike?

Everything Dinosaur stocks the Haolonggood Ouranosaurus dinosaur model. However, do our models have the updated manus (hand)? Do the Everything Dinosaur Haolonggood Ouranosaurus figures possess the anatomically accurate hand?

Yes, they do, and team members set about creating a short YouTube video to proof it.

The Haolonggood Ouranosaurus Models

Both the green Ouranosaurus figure (WuJu) and the brown figure (WuWei) are in stock. In our short YouTube video (it is under six minutes long), we explain Ouranosaurus classification. We confirm that this dinosaur is not closely related to Iguanodon bernissartensis. Most palaeontologists classify Ouranosaurus nigeriensis as a basal hadrosauriform.

In the video, we examine the fossil evidence that led to the Haolonggood Ouranosaurus figure being changed and provided with an updated manus.

Everything Dinosaur will shortly post up a brief video review of the CollectA Deluxe Koolasuchus model. This 1:20 scale figure is the first prehistoric amphibian to be made by CollectA. It is a magnificent model and team members have been keen to create a video review.

CollectA Deluxe Koolasuchus

In the YouTube video, various details of the model will be highlighted. For example, the head of the CollectA Deluxe Koolasuchus is covered in a wonderful, criss-crossed, hatching effect. This patterning is typical of temnospondyls, in fact it is diagnostic. Should a palaeontologist encounter skull bones with a hatched, criss-crossed pattern, then it is extremely likely that they have discovered a temnospondyl fossil.

Question of the Day?

As the storyboard for the Everything Dinosaur YouTube video comes together, team members want to ask viewers a question. As this is the first prehistoric amphibian made by CollectA, are there other animals that collectors would like a model of?

In the video we will ask the question:

What other type of prehistoric amphibian would you like CollectA to make?

Perhaps collectors would like a replica of giant predator such as Mastodonsaurus? Might an Eryops figure prove popular?

We look forward to reading the replies.

An Exclusive Papo Kronosaurus Video

By Mike|2024-01-02T14:36:04+00:00September 6th, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur has produced a short YouTube video review of the recently introduced Papo Kronosaurus marine reptile figure. In this brief video, team members take a detailed look at the Papo Kronosaurus and explain why this figure has a tail fin.

Reviewing the Papo Kronosaurus

Our YouTube video lasts a little over three minutes. We wanted to give model collectors the opportunity to take a closer look at the Papo Kronosaurus replica. The official image released by Papo does not highlight the excellent quality of this model. Everything Dinosaur wanted to create a video and publish photographs to assist collectors with purchase decisions.

Kronosaurus Markings and the Tail Fin

The video begins with the Kronosaurus model being introduced. Comments are made about the figure having a typical Papo appearance. The head and the teeth are examined in detail. The narrator moves on to discuss the flippers and the presence of skin parasites, probably barnacles on the marine reptile figure. This Kronosaurus model has a cloaca.

The video format (chapters):

00:00 – Papo Kronosaurus!
00:48 – Typically Papo!
01:00 – Head and Teeth.
01:22 – Kronosaurus Flippers.
01:51 – Cloaca Watch!
02:08 – Tail Fin Shape!
02:52 – Congratulations Papo.

A section of the Everything Dinosaur video is dedicated to explaining why the figure has been given a tail fin. Tail fins/flukes in the Plesiosauria remains a controversial area. There is some evidence within the fossil record. However, the Plesiosauria is such a diverse clade that there may have been many different shapes and sizes of tail appendage. Most palaeontologists agree, that if a tail fin or fluke was present on Kronosaurus, it probably did not play a huge role in locomotion. The tail fin or fluke would have probably helped to stabilise the predator as it manoeuvred.

Take a look at the YouTube channel of Everything Dinosaur: Everything Dinosaur on YouTube.

Congratulating Papo

The video concluded with the narrator praising the Papo prehistoric animal model range and congratulating the company for producing an excellent Kronosaurus.
