The Beasts of the Mesozoic Triceratops (sub-adult) Model

We have received some requests to post up more photographs of the popular Beasts of the Mesozoic sub-adult Triceratops dinosaur model. Our team members are always willing to oblige so we produced a short blog post that features some more pictures of the Beasts of the Mesozoic Triceratops horridus.

The Beasts of the Mesozoic Articulated Triceratops Dinosaur Model (sub-adult Triceratops horridus)

The beautiful Beasts of the Mesozoic Triceratops (sub-adult) articulated figure. This is one of nine members of the Ceratopsia in the first wave of the popular Beasts of the Mesozoic series.

This one of the largest of the first wave of ceratopsian models created, this is appropriate as T. horridus is regarded as one of the biggest of all the horned dinosaurs described to date.

The Beasts of the Mesozoic Triceratops Model is Around 27 cm in Length

The Beasts of the Mesozoic sub-adult Triceratops dinosaur model is approximately 27 cm long. The model has twenty points of articulation and the manufacturer declares a scale of 1:18.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Triceratops (1:18 Scale)

A replica of one of the most popular of all the dinosaurs, the Beasts of the Mesozoic Triceratops is a very colourful figure with twenty points of articulation. Measuring a fraction under 27 cm in length it is also one of the largest of the first wave of ceratopsian figures created by this company, even though the figure represents a sub-adult. The model has a declared scale of 1:18 and it represents a dinosaur that lived towards the very end of the Cretaceous.

Palaeontologists have estimated that the temporal range of Triceratops horridus was from 66.8 to 66.4 million years ago (Maastrichtian faunal stage of the Late Cretaceous). It was superseded by Triceratops prorsus which it is believed it was an ancestor of. Hell Creek Formation fossils also suggest an as yet, unnamed intermediate species between T. horridus and the younger T. prorsus.

Creating a New Stegosaurus Information Panel

By Mike|2024-05-19T07:07:53+01:00February 9th, 2021|Dinosaur Fans, Educational Activities, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Teaching|0 Comments

Stegosaurus Information Panel

As part of our on-going work with an events management company Everything Dinosaur team members have been asked to prepare an information panel on Stegosaurus for an exhibition. Despite being one of the most popular of all the dinosaurs and a “terrible lizard” that the public find very easy to recognise, this genus has proved to be problematical for palaeontologists and ever since the first Stegosaurus was scientifically described back in 1877 by the American palaeontologist Othniel Charles Marsh, the stegosaur family have gone through several revisions.

The Bullyland Stegosaurus Dinosaur Model – Stegosaurus is One of the Most Famous of All the Dinosaurs

The image (above) shows the superb Bullyland Stegosaurus dinosaur model.

To view the range of Bullyland prehistoric animal figures: Bullyland Prehistoric Animal Figures.

In surveys conducted by Everything Dinosaur, to determine favourite prehistoric animals, Stegosaurus has been placed as high as three, with only Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops beating it in terms of popularity. Putting together a concise yet informative display panel for Stegosaurus represented quite a challenge.

The Stegosaurus Information Panel

Name: Stegosaurus

Means: Roof Lizard

Period: Late Jurassic, about 155-150 million years ago

Where have Stegosaurus Fossils been Found? Colorado, Utah and Wyoming in the USA and Portugal (Europe)

Stegosaurus was a slow-moving herbivorous quadruped and is perhaps one of the easiest dinosaurs to recognise thanks to its plates and tail spikes. However, ever since the first fossils of this iconic dinosaur were found in 1877 Stegosaurus has caused much controversy. For example, the famous American palaeontologist Othniel Charles Marsh, the first scientist to describe Stegosaurus, thought that the plates resembled the large flat bones that formed the shells of some types of prehistoric sea turtle.

Marsh suggested that Stegosaurus was an aquatic animal. It was not until 1891, after the discovery of several more specimens that the first skeletal reconstruction of Stegosaurus was completed. The hind limbs are much longer than the front limbs and it has been suggested that Stegosaurus could have reared up so it could feed on the branches of trees.

Bony Plate

Scientists are still debating what the bony plates were used for and how exactly they were arranged along the back. The plates are not attached to the spine but held in place with cartilage, tendons and muscles. It is thought that the plates were arranged in two alternating rows running down the back with the largest plates (up to 1 metre high), located over the hips. In this position the plates would have provided very little protection, it seems more likely that they played a role in species recognition or display behaviour. The bony plates may also have helped maintain body temperature by acting as heat regulators.

The largest species measured around 9 metres in length and weighed more than 3 tonnes. Stegosaurus also had two pairs of spikes on the end of its tail. These were probably defensive weapons.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Zuniceratops Dinosaur Model

By Mike|2024-05-18T22:14:02+01:00February 8th, 2021|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Beasts of the Mesozoic Zuniceratops Dinosaur Model

One of the first wave of horned dinosaur figures to be introduced under the Beasts of the Mesozoic banner, Zuniceratops is one of those dinosaur models that since its introduction it has helped inform and educate model collectors about the huge diversity now associated with the Ceratopsia. Models of this Late Cretaceous horned dinosaur are few and far between and the inclusion of this figure, a replica of a member of the Ceratopsidae which was about the size of a cow, helped broaden the understanding of dinosaur fans and model collectors.

Zuniceratops represents a “transitional form”, a dinosaur with a combination of primitive traits and more derived characteristics. Roaming around the southern United States approximately 90 million years ago (Turonian faunal stage), it is one of just a handful of dinosaurs known to science from this time, some twenty-four million years prior to the evolution of more famous horned dinosaurs such as Triceratops.

Zuni Horned Face

Measuring a fraction under 22 cm in length, this is one of the smallest of the horned dinosaurs in the Beasts of the Mesozoic series. In order for it to be given the standard scale for this range (1/18th scale), a small replica was required as this dinosaur measured around three metres long and weighed approximately 200 kilograms, making it considerably smaller and lighter than its much more famous horned dinosaur distant relatives such as Styracosaurus, Triceratops and Pachyrhinosaurus. The figure might measure just under 22 cm long but it does have 19 points of articulation crammed into its small but sturdy frame.

A Close-up View of the Horns Possessed by Zuniceratops

A Fantastic Paint Scheme

The colours chosen for this articulated dinosaur model are certainly bold and striking. The body shows signs of counter shading which then give way to contrasting orange flashes which blend with the deep blue to be found at the top of the front legs, around the eyes and framing the long neck shield. The two brow horns are beautifully painted. These horns may have played a role in visual communication or as defensive weapons to deter the advances of theropod predators. Ironically, as far as Everything Dinosaur team members know, there have been no large carnivorous dinosaurs from the Moreno Hill Formation of New Mexico formally described. Fossils of Zuniceratops are associated with this geological formation and nowhere else.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Because it represents one of the smaller Late Cretaceous ceratopsians from North America, this Beasts of the Mesozoic figure is a little smaller than the rest of the first wave of these dinosaur models. We have subsequently priced it a little cheaper so it has become the ideal entry point for model collectors who wish to familiarise themselves with this exciting dinosaur model series.”

Rare Rebor Oddities Compsognathus longipes Preserved Dissection Specimens Delayed

By Mike|2024-05-18T21:45:29+01:00February 1st, 2021|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

Rebor Oddities Compsognathus longipes Preserved Dissection Specimens Delayed

The two eagerly awaited Rebor Oddities Compsognathus longipes preserved dissection specimens have been delayed and they are not going to arrive on the 2nd of February as earlier stated. Both the Rebor Oddities C. longipes replicas (preserved dissection specimen and the limited edition Victorian Goth version), have been despatched and they are currently on the water heading for the UK. However, delays and difficulties with shipping and other global logistics related matters led to hold-ups prior to them leaving the factory and they are not likely to arrive before the end of the month (February 2021) or possibly into March.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“This is disappointing news but there is virtually no air freight available so these items, like many items at the moment are having to be sent by sea freight. We apologise for this delay, but we have all the pre-orders for these two replicas safely stored on our database and the delay will only be for a few weeks.”

Visit the Everything Dinosaur website: Everything Dinosaur.

Rebor Models Available for Pre-Order

These two models were originally launched and made available for pre-order in November 2020. As Everything Dinosaur does not ask for payment upfront, there was no deposit to pay or any additional fees, those customers on the company’s pre-order lists merely have to wait a little longer for these two replicas. There are huge delays and a lot of disruption in global distribution networks at the moment.

Everything Dinosaur notes that some companies insist on deposits or an upfront payment (sometimes even 100% of the order value), as part of the pre-order terms and conditions. Customers may have spent or committed funds but will have longer to wait to receive their goods. With Everything Dinosaur, this is not the case, we just ask our customers on our pre-order lists to be patient at this difficult time.

The spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur added:

“We have emailed all those customers who took up our offer of pre-ordering, informing them of the current situation. We explained why the delay has occurred and they can rest assured that we are doing all we can to bring models and figures into stock as quickly as possible.”

Both Rebor Oddities Compsognathus longipes Preserved Dissection Specimens Featured in Everything Dinosaur’s November Newsletter

The Rebor Compsognathus longipes preserved dissection specimens featured in the Everything Dinosaur November 2020 newsletter.

Both the Rebor Oddities Compsognathus longipes preserved dissection specimens have been given a new availability date of Tuesday 2nd March. The expected arrival date for these figures has been put back by four weeks.

Ironically, although stocks are quite low, both these figures are still available for pre-order and they can be found in this section: Rebor Models and Figures.

PNSO Audrey the Lambeosaurus Video Review

The latest additions to the PNSO mid-size model range have really got dinosaur fans and prehistoric animal model collectors excited. Everything Dinosaur has worked with PNSO for many years, in fact we have the longest trading relationship with this company outside of China. Audrey the Lambeosaurus is one of fourteen new for 2020/21 prehistoric animals that have been produced. It is a very impressive hadrosaur model with a beautiful, reticulated colour scheme. The figure has been given a gloss coat, so it has a wet-look appearance. As one of our favourite PNSO figures, we have produced a short video review of it for our YouTube channel.

We recommend our YouTube video channel, it is crammed full of video reviews of prehistoric animal replicas, hints and tips and it also gives collectors the opportunity to suggest new dinosaur models. Here is a link to the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel: Everything Dinosaur – YouTube.

Audrey the Lambeosaurus

In the short video review (the YouTube video lasts just over two minutes), the Lambeosaurus packaging is shown and then the dinosaur model is placed on our turntable so that viewers can see this figure from all angles. We comment on the reticulated patterning and explain what inspired the design team at PNSO to use this colour scheme and design. In addition, we confirm the figure’s measurements and suggest a scale (based on Lambeosaurus lambei) of around 1:30 for this dinosaur model.

A 1/30th Scale Hadrosaur Model

Although PNSO do not declare a scale for their mid-size prehistoric animal figures, in the Everything Dinosaur video we propose a suggested scale as well as showing close-up views of the superb detail on the dinosaur model. The clear, glossy coat that has been applied gives the hadrosaur a wet-look. This is most noticeable around the head and that distinctive hatchet-shaped head crest.

Safari Ltd Prehistoric Sharks Toob Back in Stock

Originally launched in 2011 but then retired in 2017, Everything Dinosaur is delighted to announce that team members have been able to secure a limited stock of the rare Safari Ltd prehistoric sharks toob. This exciting set of ten prehistoric shark figures is now back in stock at the UK-based specialist prehistoric animal model and dinosaur replica company.

The Safari Ltd Prehistoric Sharks Toob is Back in Stock at Everything Dinosaur

The Safari Ltd prehistoric sharks toob. A set of ten different prehistoric shark models demonstrating the diversity of the shark family through deep time.

The Ultimate Marine Predator

Sharks have been around for more than 400 million years. Sharks are part of the Chondrichthyes, the fish with cartilaginous skeletons. There is some evidence to indicate that the first sharks evolved in the Late Ordovician geological period around 450 million years ago, but many palaeontologists consider that this subclass of the Chondrichthyes (the Elasmobranchii), first appeared in marine environments during the Silurian.

The Safari Ltd prehistoric sharks toob celebrates the diversity of these highly successful marine vertebrates. Each of the ten different models represents an important shark genus from the fossil record ranging from the Late Devonian to the very end of the Mesozoic and possibly into the early Cenozoic too.

The Ten Different Shark Models in the Safari Ltd Prehistoric Sharks Model Toob

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“When first introduced ten years ago the Safari Ltd prehistoric sharks toob proved very popular with model makers re-creating ancient marine environments. These shark replicas were very useful when creating prehistoric underwater scenes. If the scene featured a Dunkleosteus for example, then one of the Safari Ltd prehistoric sharks figures could be added to help give the diorama more authenticity. If the underwater scene focused on a pliosaur or perhaps a mosasaur, then other figures from this set representing sharks which were contemporaneous could be added.”

Planning for New Papo 2021/2

Planning for Papo 2021/2

As Papo are intending to introduce just two prehistoric animal models in 2021 Everything Dinosaur has been looking at ways in which the number of new Papo models could be increased. Like most manufacturers, Papo’s plans for 2021 were severely disrupted with the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, lots of factories have had delays and difficulties with production, it is not just the prehistoric animal model industry that has suffered.

However, Papo are intensely aware of just how enthusiastically model collectors greet new Papo figures, especially those prehistoric animals in the “Les Dinosaures” range. With only two figures to be introduced in 2021, namely a young Smilodon and a Megalodon shark model (model numbers 55081 and 55087 respectively), Papo understands that some model collectors may be feeling a little hard done by.

Two New Prehistoric Animal Figures to be Introduced by Papo in 2021

No Papo Dinosaurs Planned for 2021

For the first time, there are no new dinosaur models to be added to the Papo range. Papo has dramatically expanded its “Les Dinosaures” model range in recent years with an average of five new models being added every year to the range since 2015. It is true that not all these figures have been new sculpts, there has been a trend in recent years to introduce colour variants of existing models, but across all Papo’s model ranges the French manufacturer had continually increased the number of figures available.

The graph shows the number of Papo figures added to the company’s range of prehistoric animal models since 2015. The blue Papo logo represents new sculpts, whereas the older green Papo logo represents the introduction of new colour variants or a reissue of a previously retired figure. The last time only two new figures were added to the Papo portfolio of prehistoric animals was in 2015 when the young Apatosaurus and the Tupuxuara pterosaur model were introduced.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We have made a number of suggestions to Papo’s senior management about possibly adding to the range of figures available this year. We have suggested the introduction of a new colour variant of the popular Papo Triceratops model, the reissue of a retired figure such as the Woolly Rhinoceros replica, or the production of a gift set for the Christmas market. Papo have respectively listened to our proposals and in addition they have carefully considered the views and suggestions from our customers.”

The Everything Dinosaur website: Dinosaur Toys and Models.

With both the young Smilodon and the Megalodon model not likely to be available until later in the year (both models are scheduled for a quarter 4 introduction), there will be some time to wait before any new Papo prehistoric animal figures come into stock. However, Everything Dinosaur and Papo are doing what they can to try to bring forward the production of new figures.

We shall do our best to keep all Papo model collectors informed.

Preparing a New Web Image Promoting PNSO

Everything Dinosaur team members have been busy preparing, packing and despatching all the new PNSO prehistoric animal model orders to customers. As well as spending a lot of time in the packing room, they have also ensured that they have promoted the new PNSO arrivals on their various social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram. The Everything Dinosaur website has also been updated with a new home page image highlighting the diverse range of newly arrived PNSO prehistoric animals. A new web page design has been created to promote PNSO dinosaur models.

PNSO Dinosaur Models – A New Slider for the Website

The new slider for the Everything Dinosaur website features a total of eight PNSO figures, seven dinosaurs and an image of the packaging of Zewail the Atopodentatus, a bizarre, Triassic marine reptile, fossils of which come appropriately, from China. The image shows in the top left Audrey the Lambeosaurus, complete with its magnificent, reticulated colour scheme, (inspired by an extant giraffe, which the design team at PNSO were also working on when the Lambeosaurus was in development). Next to the Lambeosaurus is an overhead view of the stegosaur known as Qichuan (Tuojiangosaurus). A larger image of Brian the Pachyrhinosaurus can be seen (bottom right) and this partly obscures the Atopodentatus product packaging.
