PNSO to Introduce New Version of T. rex “Wilson”

PNSO are going to introduce a new version of the Tyrannosaurus rex replica known as “Wilson”.  This beautifully crafted model, which is based on a real T. rex fossil specimen discovered by the famous American palaeontologist Barnum Brown, will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in 2021.

The New PNSO “Wilson” the Tyrannosaurus rex Model

Based on AMNH-5027

The new Tyrannosaurus rex figure is based on the first, substantial skeleton of this iconic theropod dinosaur to be reconstructed and mounted for display.  The fossil specimen (AMNH-5027), consists of an almost complete skull (the first virtually complete T. rex skull to have been discovered), the pelvis, rib cage and a nearly complete vertebral column, including cervical vertebrae that proved that this dinosaur had a relatively short neck.  In total, about 45% of the skeleton was recovered and this famous fossil is on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

A Replica with a Deeper Chest

As this figure is based on fossil material the design team at PNSO have been very keen to get the body proportions correct.  The chest is much deeper and as a result, the arms look disproportionately much smaller.  The powerful and muscular legs that would have provided adequate support for the living animal are not quite up to the job when it comes to this new model.  In order to keep the feet anatomically correct, the model is supported by a transparent rod which helps to prop up the chest.

A 1:35 Scale Model of Tyrannosaurus rex

The new PNSO “Wilson” the Tyrannosaurus rex measures around 34.5 cm long and it has a declared scale of 1:35.  The head stands 12.9 cm high and this beautifully designed dinosaur model is going to tick all the boxes for collectors who like their figures to represent real animals recorded in the fossil record.

Recognising the Importance of the Hell Creek Formation

With the introduction of “Sede” the Ankylosaurus, “Doyle” the Triceratops and “Wilson” the Tyrannosaurus rex, PNSO are recognising the significance of the famous Hell Creek Formation.  All three of these iconic dinosaurs have been reported from the Hell Creek Formation, although Ankylosaurus fossil material is exceptionally rare when compared to the Ceratopsidae and tyrannosaurids.

Schleich Brontosaurus Arrives at Everything Dinosaur

The last of the new for 2021 prehistoric animal models that have been recently announced by Schleich, the beautiful Brontosaurus dinosaur model, is now in stock at Everything Dinosaur.  Our shipment of Schleich Brontosaurus figures was separated from the other new figures that were scheduled to be delivered this week.  The Ceratosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Kaprosuchus and the marine reptile model Mosasaurus arrived yesterday, now the quintet of figures is complete with the delivery of the Brontosaurus.

Arrived Safely!  The New for 2021 Schleich Brontosaurus Dinosaur Model is Available from Everything Dinosaur

Bully for the Brontosaurus Model

Brontosaurus is one of those dinosaurs that is popular and easily identified by the general public.  This is in part to it being featured in lots of films, television shows and books.  A Brontosaurus featured in the original King Kong movie that was distributed by Radio Pictures, released in 1933 and starring Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, Bruce Cabot and of course, King Kong himself.  King Kong was a giant gorilla that shared its home (Skull Island), with a variety of dinosaurs including a fearsome, supposedly carnivorous Brontosaurus.

The genus name was erected by the eminent American palaeontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1879.  However, for many years it was regarded as a junior synonym of the closely related Apatosaurus that had been named earlier.  The name Brontosaurus was regarded as “nomen dubium”.

An extensive revision of the diplodocid dinosaurs, at the time the most comprehensive review of dinosaur fossil material ever undertaken (2015), led to establishment once again of Brontosaurus as a valid genus.

The Diplodocidae Family

The scientific review of the Diplodocidae family of sauropods was undertaken by Dr Emanuel Tschopp, Professor Octávio Mateus, (Museu da Lourinhã, Portugal), Dr Roger Benson (Oxford University) and edited by Dr Andrew Farke (Raymond M. Alf Museum of Palaeontology, California).  Schleich have added a replica of this famous Jurassic dinosaur to their range and it joins other long-necked dinosaur figures such as Barapasaurus, Brachiosaurus and the model of the South American sauropod Agustinia, which was only introduced a few months ago (2020).

One of our Dinosaurs is Missing!

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Just like in the 1975 Walt Disney production “One of our Dinosaurs is Missing”, Everything Dinosaur were missing a long-necked dinosaur.  Ports around the world have been very congested and delivery networks so stretched that sometimes cargoes are separated from each other, even though they are in the same shipment.  Within 24-hours all the Schleich figures were safely in our warehouse.”

New Schleich Prehistoric Animal Models Arrive at Everything Dinosaur

The first of the new for 2021 Schleich prehistoric animal models are now in stock at Everything Dinosaur.  Four of the five new figures, the Schleich Mosasaurus with the articulated jaw and the Kaprosuchus (also with an articulated jaw), along with the dinosaur figures (Pachycephalosaurus and Ceratosaurus), have been safely delivered to Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse.  The fifth and final figure to be announced by Schleich for the time being, a magnificent replica of Brontosaurus will arrive shortly.

Four New Schleich Prehistoric Animal Models in Stock at Everything Dinosaur

New for 2021 Schleich Prehistoric Animal Models

The quartet of figures represent three prehistoric animals associated with the Cretaceous (Mosasaurus, Kaprosuchus and Pachycephalosaurus) and one theropod dinosaur from the Jurassic (Ceratosaurus).  Each model has been hand-painted and three of them have articulated jaws, the exception is the Pachycephalosaurus.  Model collectors like to know the measurements for any figures that Everything Dinosaur supplies.  With the Schleich range no scale for these models has been declared, but with an idea of the size of the actual figure, collectors can work out the scale themselves if they happen to know the approximate size of the animal, as calculated from the fossil record.

The Schleich Model Measurements

Here are those model measurements, the information provided by Everything Dinosaur team members who have carefully measured each figure.

• Schleich Ceratosaurus dinosaur model – length = 21.5 cm approximately with a head height of around 10.5 cm.
• The Schleich Pachycephalosaurus dinosaur model – length = 23 cm approximately.
• Schleich Kaprosuchus prehistoric crocodile model – length = 23 cm approximately.
• Schleich Mosasaurus marine reptile model – length = 30 cm approximately.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Many companies have had their plans for new models and figures severely disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  It is wonderful to see Schleich introduce five new figures into the prehistoric animal model range.  The fifth figure, the Brontosaurus, is expected to arrive at Everything Dinosaur in the next 24-hours or so.  Our fans and followers on social media will be updated once we have confirmation that the Brontosaurus model is definitely on its way.”

PNSO to Introduce a Sinoceratops Model

PNSO the model and figure manufacturer will be adding a replica of the Chinese horned dinosaur Sinoceratops to their mid-size model range in 2021.  Say hello to the PNSO Prehistoric Animal Models That Accompany Your Growth 40 A-Qi the Sinoceratops.  This stunning, new model of Sinoceratops will be available from Everything Dinosaur in the early part of next year (2021).

PNSO are Introducing a Model of a Sinoceratops to their Mid-size Model Range

This is the second horned dinosaur figure to be announced by Everything Dinosaur in collaboration with PNSO this week after the Machairoceratops was premiered in our blog with a post on November 30th.  To read about the new for 2021 Machairoceratops figure: New PNSO Model Machairoceratops.

Images of the new Sinoceratops were revealed on Everything Dinosaur’s Facebook page earlier this week.

Sinoceratops – Named in 2010

Sinoceratops was formally named and described in 2010 (Xu Xing et al), from fossils discovered in 2008 in eastern China.  It might be the only ceratopsid known from outside North America, (the validity of Turanoceratops tardabilis from Uzbekistan remains uncertain).  It is therefore fitting that a Chinese manufacturer should add a replica of “Chinese horned face” to their product portfolio.

Early, this year PNSO introduced a baby Sinoceratops figure, also called A-Qi.  It seems that this baby dinosaur has grown and matured into a magnificent specimen.

PNSO A-Qi the Sinoceratops Model Measurements

As this figure will be part of the ever increasing range of mid-size models offered by PNSO, no scale for this figure is given.  The model measures a fraction over 15 cm long, and those magnificent parietals are 9.4 cm off the ground.  Based on the maximum size of an adult Sinoceratops (6 metres in length), we estimate that this figure is in approximately 1:40 scale.
