Being Unique and Some Brilliant Bloopers!

By |2024-09-13T15:18:52+01:00September 13th, 2024|Everything Dinosaur videos|0 Comments

Sometimes things do not always go to plan.  At Everything Dinosaur, we work really hard to make sure our customers are looked after.  For example, we have just taken part in some additional training.  We were asked to participate in a testimonial video.  The filming was fun, but we did make a few mistakes.  So, we asked for the outtakes and we created a short YouTube video highlighting our errors.  It is a sort of bloopers reel.  Hope you like it!

Video credit: Everything Dinosaur supported by Digital Cheshire

Authentic Everything Dinosaur

In this short video, (it lasts around a minute) we fluff our lines, lose our train of thought and get confused over the name of the training provider.  By the way, I think we mention that we sell dinosaurs… all over the world.  We have posted our bloopers reel on social media as well as the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel.

Our YouTube channel: Everything Dinosaur on YouTube.

However, this short video does demonstrate that Everything Dinosaur is run by two, genuine people.  We are not a faceless corporation.  We believe that our customers do not purchase from Everything Dinosaur, that instead, they buy from Mike and Sue.  People do business with people and Sue and I are happy to help and assist where we can, even though sometimes, we don’t always get everything right, not first time anyway!

Let’s hope our little bloopers reel puts a smile on people’s faces.  We are genuine, we are authentic.  Many customers have got to know us extremely well over the last twenty years or so.  Being genuine and authentic in ecommerce fosters trust and loyalty, creating meaningful connections with customers that drive long-term business success.

New CollectA Deluxe Polacanthus Model Video Review

By |2024-04-15T17:57:21+01:00April 15th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur team members have completed their review of the new for 2024 CollectA Deluxe Polacanthus model.  Their video review is now live on the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel.  The video is approximately twenty minutes in length.  It provides a comprehensive overview of the new CollectA figure and highlights the extraordinary details seen on this new armoured dinosaur model.

Video credit: Everything Dinosaur

A Review of the CollectA Deluxe Polacanthus

The YouTube video review explores how our perceptions regarding this armoured dinosaur have changed.  Named in 1865, this dinosaur was further described in 1887 (John Whitaker Hulke).  The Hungarian polymath Franz Nopcsa was tasked with creating a museum exhibit of this dinosaur in 1905.  He had little fossil material to work with and it has been speculated that Nopcsa based his reconstruction on Stegosaurus.  This taxon had been described earlier from much more complete fossil material.

Studying Polacanthus and the connection with Stegosaurus.

Nopcsa’s 1905 reconstruction of Polacanthus foxii seems to have been heavily influenced by the Stegosaurus taxon.  Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

The influence of Stegosaurus on Polacanthus foxii is discussed in the video review.  This might explain why a lot of early reconstructions of Polacanthus show it with the narrow skull of a typical stegosaur.  The comparison with Stegosaurus may have led to the interpretation of the dermal armour, it being placed on the back of the animal in two, parallel rows.

New CollectA Polacanthus YouTube Video Nears Completion

By |2024-04-12T15:41:00+01:00April 12th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos/Pictures of Fossils, Press Releases|0 Comments

The new CollectA Polacanthus YouTube video is nearly complete. This video review will examine how accurately the model reflects the known fossil material.  A review of armoured dinosaur fossil specimens associated with the Wealden Group is continuing.  Isolated dermal armour fossils from southern England and the Isle of Wight may not necessarily represent the Polacanthus taxon.  With the arrival of a new CollectA Polacanthus figure this year, team members have taken the opportunity to create a short YouTube video outlining the changing perceptions regarding Polacanthus foxii.

How accurate is the new CollectA Polacanthus?

Reviewing the CollectA Polacanthus

Everything Dinosaur were fortunate to be sent an early prototype of the figure.  This figure has been used in our video review.  It is a 3D print, and it has been painted in accordance with the production figure’s approved colour scheme.  However, it is approximately the same size as the production model, albeit the model has two drainage holes located on its underside.

To view the current range of CollectA Deluxe prehistoric animal figures in stock: CollectA Prehistoric Animal Scale Models.

A spokesperson explained that as the material representing members of the Thyreophora was being reviewed, so it was likely that more taxa of British armoured dinosaurs would be erected.  The spokesperson outlined that the Thyreophora was a clade.  It consists of ornithischian armoured dinosaurs.  To date, three armoured dinosaur taxa are associated with the Wealden Group, these dinosaurs are:

  • Hylaeosaurus (H. armatus) named by Mantell in 1833.
  • Polacanthus (P. foxii) named in 1865.
  • Vectipelta (V. barretti) named in 2023.

Completing the CollectA Deluxe Polacanthus Video

The video consists of several pieces of narration including a short segment that explains the history of Polacanthus research.  In addition, the video highlights some of the confusing perceptions that arose following the first scientific reconstruction of Polacanthus in 1905 (Nopcsa).  Fortunately, the review of the figure has been concluded.  This section has proved to be the most difficult part of the video to create.  The work entailed undertaking an examination of the CollectA model and comparing it to the holotype fossil material.

The CollectA Polacanthus YouTube video review should be live on Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube site in a few days.

Scientific Papers and Published Research

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus has been the subject of increased scrutiny over the last decade or so.  The debate regarding the lifestyle and the behaviour of this carnivorous dinosaur has been intense.  Palaeontologists are divided as to whether Spinosaurus was an aquatic animal, mainly terrestrial or perhaps semiaquatic.  It possesses several characteristics that suggest adaptations for life in the water.  However, whether this animal could dive and remain submerged remains controversial.  Indeed, papers have been published which conclude that Spinosaurus would have been unstable in water.  Its unusual body shape and huge dorsal fin could impede this animal’s ability to stay upright when it was swimming.

The Everything Dinosaur Aymen the Spinosaurus YouTube video summarises some of the scientific papers.  It is likely that the Spinosaurus lifestyle debate will continue indefinitely.  The absence of articulated fossil specimens hampers research.

The Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel: Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube Channel.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that the video will show the new Spinosaurus figure.  The video would also provide a summary of the research over the last ten years.

The spokesperson added:

“Our plan is to provide a brief overview of the recent scientific papers.  We intend to outline the findings of some of the studies that have been undertaken following the influential 2014 paper by Ibrahim et al published in the journal Science.”
