Stocking Up with Papo Prehistoric Animals

Everything Dinosaur Bringing in More Stock of Papo Models

Things may be very difficult for all of us at the moment as the UK and much of the world for that matter, progresses through the fourth week of lockdown. Everything Dinosaur’s work in schools has had to be postponed and all events and outreach activities cancelled but the company’s mail order operations continue to function.

Fortunately, team members became aware of the potential problems that a widespread outbreak of coronavirus might cause relatively early in the year, many weeks before the disease became a pandemic. As a result, Everything Dinosaur was able to put in place a number of contingency measures to help the company to continue working.

Papo Prehistoric Animals

For example, making commitments to stock earlier than normal and putting in place plans to hold various products in readiness to bring them into the company’s warehouse. These measures have helped Everything Dinosaur to maintain the availability of a number of ranges, such as the popular Papo prehistoric animals. Yesterday, the first of the contingency stock was made available to customers.

Seventeen Different Prehistoric Animals in the Papo Range to Replenish Stock

In total, Everything Dinosaur made arrangements to have stock of some seventeen different prehistoric animals in the Papo range available permitting a rapid re-stocking of diminished inventory. *Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.*

Seventeen different types of prehistoric animal model from the Papo range were brought into stock. All the individual prehistoric animals still available in the Papo range are now in stock at Everything Dinosaur. The only out of stock items are the retired Tupuxuara, some gift boxes and the small tub of Papo dinosaur models.

Everything Dinosaur Comments

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“These are extremely challenging times. Whilst we have had to suspend our work in schools, postpone events and all the outreach work that we had planned, we are still endeavouring to provide a degree of normality for our many thousands of customers all over the world. We are still able to offer a mail-order service to those consumers wishing to purchase items. We do appreciate the comments of many parents and grandparents that we have received who have been delighted that we are still able to provide them with the special dinosaur themed gifts for the birthday of loved ones. Many collectors are self-isolating and we do understand how indulging a hobby or an interest can provide a welcome distraction and aid mental well-being.”

The spokesperson added:

“We have been happy to set items aside, keep items back until mail networks become more stable, reserve products for customers and provide updated advice on the potential availability for new for 2020 items. Our team members have been doing all they can to advise and support customers.”

New CollectA Rearing Diplodocus “Turntable Tuesday”

By Mike|2024-02-17T18:12:05+00:00April 14th, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases, Product Reviews|0 Comments

CollectA Rearing Diplodocus “Turntable Tuesday”

Another week, another “Turntable Tuesday” experience for a prehistoric animal model. This time, it’s the new for 2020 CollectA rearing Diplodocus model going for a spin on the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel. This figure is a new colour variant (elephantine grey), of the original rearing Diplodocus figure that was introduced in 2013. The beautifully painted sauropod has certainly proved to be a big hit with collectors.

CollectA Rearing Diplodocus

In this short video, (it lasts a little under ninety seconds), we show the model in its rearing pose as well as balanced on four legs. The CollectA rearing Diplodocus has been beautifully sculpted and it is so well balanced that the model stands on four legs as well as in its rearing pose. The video also shows how well painted the figure is. When the 2013 figure was released, it had a very different colour scheme, this new colour variant depicts the colossal Diplodocus in a colour scheme we describe as “elephantine grey”.

Many large terrestrial tetrapods such as elephants and rhinos tend to be a uniform grey in colour. Whether large dinosaurs such as the sauropodomorphs shared this colour scheme is open to speculation, but the new 2020 rearing Diplodocus contrasts nicely with the earlier rearing Diplodocus figure.

To make this point about the colour scheme chosen for this new model, the Everything Dinosaur “turntable Tuesday” video does feature an elephant!

CollectA Age of Dinosaurs “Prehistoric Life”

Suitable for dinosaur fans and collectors aged three years and over, the Diplodocus stands around twenty-three centimetres high and it is one of the larger models in the CollectA Age of Dinosaurs, popular “Prehistoric Life” range.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We intend to produce at least one new video for the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel each week. Our idea for “turntable Tuesday”, is to post up a short video, which is less than two minutes in length that permits collectors and model fans to get a really good look at a prehistoric animal figure. The turntable allows us to show the animal in three hundred and sixty degrees. It’s a dinosaur review in the round, providing an all-round perspective.”

New for 2020 CollectA Baryonyx Goes for a Spin

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time to put another prehistoric animal model through its paces as we take out our turntable and give it a spin. This time, it is the new for 2020 CollectA Baryonyx dinosaur model that is in the spotlight.

The New for 2020 CollectA Baryonyx Dinosaur Model

In this short video, (it lasts a fraction under one minute fifty seconds), the new for 2020 CollectA Baryonyx dinosaur model is highlighted. The figure is mounted on a base so that the hind feet can be kept in proportion to the rest of the body. The base itself shows some nice detailing, even a couple of leaves are depicted. The base gives the impression that this dinosaur, associated with aquatic environments, is walking through soft sand or mud.

Sending Out Mojo Fun Lucky Charms

Mojo Fun has produced a limited edition run of golden lucky rat key rings, to celebrate the Chinese year of the rat. In the Chinese zodiac, the rat is the first animal in the cycle of animals and the year of the rat represents a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. People born in the year of a rat are thought to be hard-working and industrious.

In Chinese astrology, those born in the year of the rat are diligent with a positive outlook on life. They also like to collect things and involve themselves with many interests and hobbies. Such a hobby might be prehistoric animal model collecting. Everything Dinosaur certainly has lots of customers in the Far East.

New CollectA Deluxe 1:6 Scale Microraptor (Turntable Tuesday)

By Mike|2024-01-20T14:33:20+00:00March 31st, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

Turntable Tuesday – CollectA Deluxe Microraptor Dinosaur Model

It’s “Turntable Tuesday” and it is time to put another prehistoric animal model on the Everything Dinosaur turntable and give it a spin. Today, we feature the awesome, new for 2020 CollectA Deluxe 1:6 scale Microraptor dinosaur model.

“Turntable Tuesday” The New for 2020 CollectA Deluxe Microraptor Dinosaur Model Goes for a Spin

Video credit: Everything Dinosaur

The CollectA Deluxe Microraptor is in stock at Everything Dinosaur, this fantastic, feathered dinosaur figure and the rest of the CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Life collection can be found here: CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Life Models.

The CollectA Deluxe Microraptor Dinosaur Model

First named and scientifically described twenty years ago, Microraptor has become one of the most studied of all the Chinese dinosaurs from Liaoning Province. It was the first dinosaur specimen found to demonstrate the presence of flight feathers on its hind legs as well as on its arms. Three species have been assigned to this genus, although there is some debate as to their validity as separate species. Microraptor fossils are the most abundant non-avialan dinosaur found in the Jiufotang Formation (Liaoning Province).

All the material comes from the same bedding plane – the Shangheshou Bed. It has been estimated that over three hundred specimens have been collected to date, although it is difficult to verify this figure as a large number of specimens are in the hands of private collectors who are reluctant to come forward due to the difficulties that might arise once these fossils come to the attention of the Chinese authorities.

Iridescent Feathers and a Bifurcated Tail

In 2012, a scientific paper was published in “Science”, the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, that reported upon a study of fossilised pigment cells (melanosomes), preserved within a Microraptor fossil specimen (BMNHC PH881). The researchers compared the arrangements of the melanosomes to those of extant birds and concluded that although Microraptor feathers were black, the melanosomes were reminiscent of the melanosomes found in birds that have iridescent feathers.

The scientific paper that proposes iridescence in the plumage of Microraptor “Reconstruction of Microraptor and the Evolution of Iridescent Plumage” by Quanguo Li, Ke-Qin Gao, Qingjin Meng, Julia A. Clarke, Matthew D. Shawkey, Liliana D’Alba, Rui Pei, Mick Ellison, Mark A. Norell and Jakob Vinther published in the journal Science.

In Everything Dinosaur’s short “Turntable Tuesday” video, these iridescent feathers on the CollectA Microraptor are highlighted. In addition, the model also sports a bifurcated tailfan, as reflected in fossil discoveries. It has been suggested that this tailfan structure and the iridescent feathers were primarily used for display.

Everything Dinosaur’s Video Review CollectA Fukuisaurus

CollectA Deluxe Fukuisaurus 1:40 Scale Dinosaur Model Reviewed

Team members at Everything Dinosaur have been busy preparing a bespoke video studio so that they can provide more in-depth video reviews for customers and fans of dinosaur model collecting. The first full-length review of a dinosaur model has been published on the company’s YouTube channel. The dinosaur model reviewed is the beautiful, new for 2020 CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale Fukuisaurus.

CollectA Deluxe Fukuisaurus Video Review

In our short video we try to combine a little bit of the science behind the study of this Japanese dinosaur with comments about the CollectA Deluxe replica. For example, we discuss the model and its quadrupedal stance but in reality this herbivorous dinosaur probably spent the majority of its time in a bipedal posture (the forelimbs were much shorter than the hindlimbs). In addition, we comment on the beautifully painted mouth and beak of Fukuisaurus. The video then provides information about the unusual anatomical features associated with the skull of Fukuisaurus.

The Fukuisaurus Video Review Provides Plenty of Close-up Views of the Dinosaur Model

A 1/40th Scale Model?

The video also provides the opportunity for the Fukuisaurus to be measured. Viewers can see that the figure measures approximately 14 centimetres long. CollectA have included this model in their CollectA Deluxe range and it is described as being in 1:40 scale. However, team members at Everything Dinosaur advise collectors to take a more relaxed approach to stated scales when it comes to prehistoric animal models, especially dinosaurs. Most dinosaurs are known from relatively scrappy and incomplete skeletons, therefore, it is often very difficult to provide accurate information about the size and weight of the animal.

In the Everything Dinosaur Fukuisaurus fact sheet that accompanies sales of this model, we state that Fukuisaurus (F. tetoriensis), was approximately 4 to 4.5 metres in length. Based on these dimensions, we estimate that the model is in approximately 1:30 or 1:32 scale.

Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur

Our video review permits us to explain a little more about the size and scale of this dinosaur model.

Fossils Found in Close Association with Fukuiraptor (F. kitadaniensis)

The bedding plane from where the fossils of Fukuisaurus were found (the lower portion of Bonebed I at the famous Kitadani Quarry on Honshu Island, Japan), also contain the fossilised remains of a theropod dinosaur. This dinosaur is the similar-sized Fukuiraptor, which was actually formally described some three years before Fukuisaurus. The phylogeny of Fukuiraptor remains open to debate, although numerous vertebrate palaeontologists support the idea that Fukuiraptor was a member of the enigmatic Megaraptora clade.

Fukuiraptor may have hunted Fukuisaurus. In the Everything Dinosaur video review, the narrator comments upon this possibility and discusses the lack of evidence to support this notion.

The Pleurokinetic Skull of an Ornithopod

The dinosaur model video review also provides the opportunity to discuss some of the unique anatomical traits associated with Fukuisaurus. Ornithopod skulls were remarkable examples of natural selection. These dinosaurs evolved the ability to chew their food. In order to process the tough stems of cycads, pine needles and horsetails, these dinosaurs evolved pleurokinetic skulls. To process food in their mouths, the lower jaw moved up and against the inner surface of the teeth in the upper jaw, to produce a scissor-like cutting action. To achieve this, the top part of the skull had to accommodate the movement of the lower jaw. The skull could flex slightly in several places allowing the skull to be hinged (pleurokinetic joints).

In our video review, we discuss this and point out that the maxilla (part of the upper jaw), was closely associated with a facial bone in the skull. This suggests that the skull of Fukuisaurus either could not flex, or that it was hinged in a different way to the skulls of related ornithopods.

Our YouTube Channel

The Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel is jam-packed with lots of prehistoric animal model reviews and information, we also post up lots of hints and tips about dinosaur model collecting along with reading recommendations, new book reviews and we have introduced “turntable Tuesday”, our once-a-week short video review of a prehistoric animal figure.

CollectA Deluxe Bajadasaurus Turntable Tuesday

Time to pop into our studio and to put the new for 2020 CollectA Deluxe Bajadasaurus dinosaur model through its paces for “turntable Tuesday”. Each week, Everything Dinosaur intends to feature a prehistoric animal on the company’s YouTube channel and today, it is the CollectA Deluxe Bajadasaurus going for a spin.

The CollectA Deluxe 1:40 Scale Bajadasaurus (B. pronuspinax)

Bajadasaurus was only formally named and scientifically described in February 2019 (although the fossils were found back in 2010), we congratulate the design team at CollectA for being so quick off the mark when it comes to bringing out a figure representing a dinosaur that was described a little over a year ago. It has been assigned to the Dicraeosauridae family of long-necked dinosaurs, although, these dinosaurs are characterised by their relatively short necks when compared to the related diplodocids such as Apatosaurus, Brontosaurus and Diplodocus.

A Bizarre Member of the Dinosauria

If the fossil material has been interpreted correctly, then Bajadasaurus was one of the most bizarre of all the Dinosauria known to science. The model, and indeed the scientific illustrations of this prehistoric animal have been based on better-known dicraeosaurids. The huge neural spines, associated with the cervical vertebra assigned to position C5 in the neck of this dinosaur, gave rise to the idea that each neck bone had a pair of enormous, keratin-coated spines which would have acted as a formidable deterrent for any meat-eating dinosaur looking for a meal.

CollectA Deluxe Fukuisaurus 1:40 Scale (Turntable Tuesday)

As Everything Dinosaur team members get better acquainted with the video management software and other technical aspects of the company’s small studio, we have opted to try and produce at least one dinosaur or prehistoric animal themed YouTube video a week. With the arrival of a small turntable, we decided to start showcasing various dinosaur figures by producing short (around one or two minutes long), videos. In this brief YouTube video, we highlight the new for 2020 CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale Fukuisaurus dinosaur model.

Fukuisaurus – A Japanese Dinosaur

The CollectA Fukuisaurus model follows hot on the heels of the CollectA Fukuiraptor figure that was introduced in 2019. Both dinosaurs are associated with the famous Kitadani Formation of Fukui on the Japanese island of Honshu. The ornithopod Fukuisaurus (which was named and described in 2003) and the theropod Fukuiraptor, which was formally scientifically described three years earlier, come from the same bonebed in the Kitadani Dinosaur Quarry (Bonebed I). It has been speculated that Fukuiraptor preyed upon Fukuisaurus, but there is very little scientific evidence other than the proximity of the fossil material to support this supposition.

CollectA Fukuisaurus and CollectA Fukuiraptor

Towards the end of this short video (it lasts a fraction over two minutes long), the CollectA Deluxe Fukuisaurus and the CollectA Fukuiraptor are shown together. This permits dinosaur model fans and collectors to get a really good look at both figures. Although the Fukuisaurus is part of the CollectA Deluxe range and it is in approximately 1:40 scale, as Fukuisaurus was a relatively small member of the hadrosaurid lineage, the actual dinosaur model is quite small. Everything Dinosaur team members have measured the replica and it is approximately 14 cm long and stands around 5.5 cm high at the hips.

It is beautifully detailed and there is much to be admired in this CollectA figure (yes, we do point out in the video that this dinosaur model does have a cloaca).

A spokesperson for Everything Dinosaur commented:

“A lot of dinosaur model fans and collectors have asked us to make more videos about prehistoric animals, we are working hard to get up to speed and we do intend to produce another forty or so videos this year, including reviews of some of the new for 2020 CollectA models.”

Everything Dinosaur Newsletter – March Model Madness

It is March model madness, with a new edition to the Everything Dinosaur model range plus the return of some old favourites. Newsletter subscribers will have received this week our latest missive and it provides details of the new Wild Past Protoceratops, plus Rebor replicas and a “heads up” that the mighty 1:20 scale CollectA Deluxe Elasmotherium is back in stock!

The Everything Dinosaur Newsletter

The brand Wild Past has only recently been launched, but the first of the models in this exciting range is already in stock at Everything Dinosaur, but be warned, the 1:35 scale Protoceratops andrewsi complete with a nest of dinosaur eggs has had a very limited production run, so stock of this particular member of the Protoceratopsidae is likely to sell out fast.

The Return of Rebor Replicas

Good news for fans of Rebor replicas. Although the extended Chinese New Year led to disruption in international delivery networks, Everything Dinosaur had been able to arrange the shipment of the popular Rebor “Raptor” replica called “Sweeney” and the 1:6 scale Compsognathus model “Sentry”. Newsletter readers were the first to receive an update letting them know that both these Rebor figures were once again available.

Fascinating Foetus and a Charging 1:20 scale Elasmotherium

In addition, the Rebor Oddities Velociraptor foetus wet specimen with light up base is also available. This fascinating model of an embryonic dinosaur was first introduced in the late summer of last year. Standing around 22 centimetres high, the figure makes a striking centrepiece to any prehistoric animal model collection. Joining the Velociraptor is the CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale Elasmotherium, this replica too is also now available.
