The Bullyland Pteranodon sternbergi is in Stock

The Bullyland Pteranodon sternbergi model is in stock at Everything Dinosaur. Everything Dinosaur team members have been able to secure some additional models from a product line that was retired several years ago. Limited numbers are available and staff have been busy emailing customers on our priority reserve list, letting them know that this flying reptile figure is available and that one has been set aside for them.

Currently in Stock at Everything Dinosaur – Bullyland Pteranodon sternbergi Model

A Long Retired Bullyland Figure

A lot has happened since this excellent pterosaur figure went out of production. The range of flying reptile figures has certainly increased but as far as we are aware, no mainstream manufacturer has introduced a P. sternbergi model. A lot has also happened when it comes to research into the Pterosauria and the Pteranodon genus. Although arguably, Pteranodon is perhaps the best known pterosaur, both with palaeontologists and the wider public, after all, there are in excess of 1,100 Pteranodon fossils in museums all over the world, there has been a dramatic revision of the fossil material ascribed to this genus.

Flattened Like a Pancake

Visitors to museums seeing a beautifully modelled Pteranodon replica, often dangling from the ceiling, can get the wrong idea when it comes to the fossil material associated with this genus. The three-dimensional replicas do not portray the reality. The vast majority of fossil material comes from the Pierre Shale Formation and the Smoky Hill Chalk member of the Niobrara Formation, both marine deposits and Pteranodon fossils tend to be crushed, highly fragmentary, distorted and flattened like a pancake.

Unloading a Pteranodon. — A life-size Pteranodon replica is unloaded. Is this P. sternbergi or a representative of the genus Geosternbergia? Although the fossil record of assigned Pteranodon material is extensive, the fossils tend to be fragmentary and crushed.

Geosternbergia sternbergi or Pteranodon sternbergi

The genus was erected back in 1876, when Othniel C. Marsh named Pteranodon longiceps. Over the years, several species have been added to this genus, one of which was Pteranodon sternbergi, named in 1966 from fossil material found in 1952. The species name honours the Sternberg family, who between them have made a tremendous contribution to North American palaeontology.

Such a high profile pterosaur genus with a wealth of fossils to study, has led to academics focusing on this genus and large numbers of scientific papers about Pteranodon have been produced. Inevitably, numerous revisions have been suggested. For example, it has been proposed that the fossil material represents a total of four different flying reptiles (Kellner 2010) and this led to the idea that P. sternbergi, was so different from P. longiceps that it should be assigned a separate genus. Hence the use of the genus Geosternbergia (G. sternbergi) often regarded as a subgenus, in recent literature.

Much of the Revision of Pteranodontidae Fossil Material is Based on the Morphology of the Crest and Mandible

The Bullyland Pteranodon sternbergi model. — *The shape and size of the crest and subtle differences in the mandible has led to a revision of Pteranodon fossil material.*

Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur

In essence, over the period of time that the Bullyland Pteranodon sternbergi has been out of production, a revision of the fossil material has led to the placement of material formerly ascribed to P. sternbergi being assigned by some scientists to Geosternbergia. The debate over the taxonomy of the pterosaur that honours the Sternberg family (and other Pteranodontia material), is likely to continue, at least, for the time being collectors have the chance to acquire the model.

The New for 2019 Papo Brown Running T. rex Dinosaur Model

The new for 2019 Papo brown running T. rex dinosaur model is now in stock at Everything Dinosaur. This is the first of the 2019 prehistoric animal figures to be released by the French model and figure manufacturer. It will be replacing the Papo running Tyrannosaurus rex (colour variant), which has now been retired, as announced in our blog post dated 15th December, 2018. The figure is based on the same mould as the green running T. rex dinosaur model, but the colour scheme is different.

The green running T. rex figure was introduced into the “Les Dinosaures” range back in 2012 and Papo did make a limited edition brown running T. rex subsequently, but this was only in production for a few months. Now the brown version of this popular figure has been included in the company’s catalogue and this figure will be more widely available.

Celebrating with a Short Video

This new dinosaur model has an articulated lower jaw and it measures more than thirty centimetres long. The head stands an impressive thirteen centimetres off the ground. Everything Dinosaur team members have produced a short video (around 45 seconds duration), to give our blog post readers an opportunity to get a better look at this exciting new model, the first of two tyrannosaurid replicas coming from Papo this year. A Gorgosaurus model is due to be introduced in the summer.

Commenting Upon the Papo Brown Running T. rex Dinosaur Model

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Dinosaur model collectors have been lobbying Papo to bring back the brown coloured version of their popular running T. rex sculpt. It is great to see this figure in the mainstream and available to a much wider audience than previously. One caveat to sound though, we do not know how long this figure will be in production for, at least the model is included within the company’s model catalogue. This catalogue is available from Everything Dinosaur free of charge, there’s just the postage to pay, collectors can see all the 2019 models, including the soon to be released Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Pentaceratops and the eagerly awaited Gorgosaurus.”

JurassicCollectables Reviews the Eofauna Giganotosaurus

By Mike|2023-11-22T11:27:12+00:00February 15th, 2019|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Product Reviews|1 Comment

Eofauna Giganotosaurus Reviewed by JurassicCollectables

Hot on the heels of several Schleich new for 2019 model reviews, JurassicCollectables have posted up a video of the new Eofauna Scientific Research Giganotosaurus dinosaur model. The narrator correctly surmises that this is the first dinosaur figure to be introduced by Eofauna and the Giganotosaurus is heralded as being one of the most scientific accurate dinosaur models to have been made.

Exclusive Behind the Scenes Images

As Everything Dinosaur works closely with Eofauna Scientific Research, we were able to provide the JurassicCollectables team with exclusive images showing the three-dimensional skeletal reconstructions that the designers at Eofauna created in order to help ensure the accuracy of their figure. Osteological measurements were taken in order to build up the muscles and the skin texture. The wrinkles on the dinosaur model reflect how this Cretaceous hypercarnivore would have actually moved.

A “Boxer’s Chin” and the Correct Size of Scales

In this short video (duration just under nine minutes), the narrator opens up the plastic bag containing the model and the proceeds to take the viewer on a guided tour of the figure. The close-up views of the articulated jaws and the inside of the mouth are particularly well done. Everything Dinosaur team members pointed out to JurassicCollectables that if the lower jaw is viewed from the side, the tip of the jaw is thicker and more robust.

We have nicknamed this characteristic of Giganotosaurus anatomy the “boxer’s chin”. Not that this dinosaur indulged in pugilism, however, this thickened bone may have evolved to help protect the rest of the jaw from impact damage as this predator lunged and attacked its prey.

Eofauna Giganotosaurus Video Review

In the video review, JurassicCollectables note the care and attention taken over getting the scales on this dinosaur to look right. In the section of the video that focuses on the ribs, viewers will note the very fine scales with just the occasional, larger rounded scale on the model picked out, these scales are most prominent on this part of the figure. As the replica has been designed based on a 3-D simulation, Eofauna have been able to add lots of wrinkles and folds to depict movement, at the back of the femur (thigh area) for example, these are once again highly accurate based on the skeletal assessment. Such features are skilfully highlighted in this excellent video review.

JurassicCollectables have a wonderful YouTube channel dedicated to prehistoric animals and dinosaur models. Everything Dinosaur recommends that fans of dinosaurs subscribe: Subscribe to JurassicCollectables on YouTube.

Comparing the Eofauna Giganotosaurus to Other Eofauna Figures

During the video review, the two other Eofauna figures, the Steppe Mammoth and the Straight-tusked Elephant are introduced and provide a size comparison with the Giganotosaurus. Naturally, off-colour Alan also gets involved.

A Short Video of the Schleich Diabloceratops Model

Everything Dinosaur have posted up a short video previewing the new for 2019 Schleich Diabloceratops dinosaur model. This video is more of a teaser for fans of prehistoric animals and dinosaur model collectors. In the video, we confirm the length of this figure (it is approximately sixteen centimetres long and those impressive horns are approximately eleven centimetres off the ground).

One of Four New Prehistoric Animal Models from Schleich in July 2019

The Schleich Diabloceratops will be replacing the recently retired Schleich Styracosaurus and the beautiful Pentaceratops figure. It will be one of four new prehistoric animal models from Schleich due to arrive at Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse in July (2019). The other figures are:

Schleich Dracorex – a model of the “dome-headed” dinosaur Dracorex hogwartsia. The Schleich Dracorex measures nineteen centimetres long and the head height is around ten centimetres.
The Schleich juvenile Giganotosaurus – this figure has an articulated lower jaw and it measures around twenty-six centimetres in length and stands over ten centimetres high.
Schleich Plesiosaurus – this marine reptile has a poseable neck and it is approximately sixteen centimetres long.

To read a brief article about the new for 2019 Schleich Plesiosaurus and to see a short video preview of this model: A Quick Look at the New for 2019 Schleich Plesiosaurus Model.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The Schleich Diabloceratops model has certainly been getting a lot of attention. Within the Schleich range of large dinosaur models, there is one chasmosaurine (Triceratops) and one centrosaurine which is the new Diabloceratops. The two great tribes of Late Cretaceous horned dinosaurs are now represented by Schleich figures once again. Diabloceratops may have been very distantly related to Triceratops, but they would never have met. Diabloceratops lived millions of years before Triceratops evolved.”

A Preview of the New for 2019 Schleich Plesiosaurus Model

Schleich will be introducing four new prehistoric animal models in July 2019. Today, we take a brief look at the only non-dinosaur figure to come out with this batch of replicas, the Schleich Plesiosaurus. It had been rumoured that the German-based model manufacturer intended to produce a plesiosaur and thanks to Everything Dinosaur, we can now post up a quick video preview of this model that will be in stock in the summer.

Four New Schleich Models

The four new Schleich prehistoric animal models scheduled to be released in July (2019) are as follows:

A juvenile Giganotosaurus.
A Dracorex.
The horned dinosaur Diabloceratops.
A Plesiosaurus (marine reptile).

Praising the Schleich Plesiosaurus

In the short video preview, a spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur comments on the unusual colouration on the top of the head of this figure, the dark blue markings have been described as looking like “goggles”, quite appropriate for an animal that spent much of its time under water. It can be speculated that these reptiles had good colour vision and their heads may have played a role in visual communication. Crests or horns on the head would have affected streamlining so such ornamentation is not known in the Plesiosauria, so perhaps subtle markings on the head could have helped signal the maturity of the animal and its fitness for breeding.

Visit the Everything Dinosaur website: Everything Dinosaur.

A Plesiosaur Colour Scheme

The overall colouration of the plesiosaur model is also discussed. The model is coloured a sky blue with flecks of white on the broad back. This combines well with a paler underside which represents countershading, a concept long linked with extinct marine reptiles and seen in many marine mammals today. The narrator in the video reflects on the fact that the colour scheme reminds him of polar conditions and states that as fossils of plesiosaurs have been found in high latitudes, such a colour scheme is appropriate as these reptiles are now known to have lived in cold waters.

A Model with a Flexible Neck

As with a number of earlier plesiosaur figures, the Schleich Plesiosaurus has a flexible neck. This permits the neck to be placed in a variety of poses. When tested the neck is quite stiff and this allows the figure to remain in the pose chosen without the head drooping down. The Schleich Plesiosaurus will be in stock along with the three other figures (Dracorex, Diabloceratops and the juvenile Giganotosaurus), in July (2019).

Amazing Cretaceous Dinosaurs of South America Diorama

By Mike|2023-11-22T10:05:16+00:00February 9th, 2019|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Cretaceous Dinosaurs of South America Diorama

Everything Dinosaur team members have received a set of pictures highlighting a diorama that features South American dinosaurs of the Cretaceous. South America in the Cretaceous was home to a diverse range of dinosaurs. Unlike North America, where there is evidence to suggest that sauropods were rare in the Late Cretaceous and may have been absent from a number of palaeoenvironments.

Cretaceous Dinosaurs

Sauropods (Titanosauria), were still numerous in South America and represented a considerable proportion of the mega-herbivores. For example, the Anacleto Formation of Patagonia, which consists primarily of mudstones and sandstones deposited in a terrestrial environment, has provided evidence of at least seven different genera of Late Cretaceous (Campanian faunal stage), titanosaur. The diversity of these long-necked, plant-eaters is demonstrated in a carefully crafted diorama, skilfully created by prehistoric animal enthusiast Robert Townsend.

Sauropods Dominate

The plant-eating dinosaurs in the extensive diorama are dominated by the Sauropoda, as well as a splendid Agustinia, we spotted a juvenile Argentinosaurus, Amargasaurus and a pair of Saltasaurus dinosaurs being stalked by a Giganotosaurus. South America was home to a number of super-sized titanosaurs, the fossils of some of the largest terrestrial vertebrates known to science, giants such as Antarctosaurus, Patagotitan, Sarmientosaurus and perhaps, the biggest of them all Argentinosaurus, are known from this continent.

Only this week, Everything Dinosaur published an article about a newly described long-necked dinosaur from northern Patagonia. The dinosaur has been named Bajadasaurus pronuspinax and it lived during the Early Cretaceous.

Note the carefully crafted tridactyl prints in the foreground of the diorama and the use of dyed lichen (extreme right), to make foliage, note also the CollectA model prehistoric plants in the background.

Robert’s diorama is huge. The size of the diorama permits him to build mini prehistoric scenes into different parts of the landscape, there is always something interesting going on and his extensive prehistoric animal model collection allows him to introduce a variety of different dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures into the diorama, creating a colourful palaeoenvironment montage.

The Use of Carefully Modelled Props Such as this Sauropod Carcase Helps to Create Points of Interest

A Land of Giant Predators

South America is also famous for its super-sized carnivorous dinosaurs and model maker Robert does not disappoint when it comes to populating his prehistoric scene with plenty of predators.

Schleich Animantarx Model Reviewed by JurassicCollectables

The latest video to be produced by those creative people at JurassicCollectables features one of the new for 2019 Schleich prehistoric animal figures – the Schleich Animantarx. The Animantarx is described as adorable and as it represents an armoured dinosaur that grew to a length of approximately three metres. The model works well in scale with JurassicCollectables regular “off-colour Alan”, who makes an appearance towards the end of the review.

The JurassicCollectables Video Review of the Schleich Animantarx Dinosaur Model

An Adorable Schleich Animantarx

The narrator describes this model as an “adorable Animantarx” and it certainly has an appeal. The figure is nicely proportioned and the wet-looking gloss added to the black eyes provides this replica with a certain charm. It is described as “a cute looking dinosaur” and it is hard to disagree.

The “Adorable Animantarx” Dinosaur Model from Schleich

Picture credit: JurassicCollectables

Animantarx

The narrator correctly points out that this member of the Nodosauridae family was named and described relatively recently (1999). It is known from very fragmentary fossils, including a partial skull and a piece of fossilised jaw. This dinosaur had a distinctive domed skull and tiny horns behind the eyes. Features that can be seen in the close-up view of the head in the picture above. It is this attention to detail that elevates this armoured dinosaur model. Clearly, the Schleich design team have worked hard to produce a model that reflect scientific understanding.

The model may have flaws, but as the narrator points out, there is much to be admired when it comes to examining the dermal armour, the skin tones and the detailing of the body scales.

Everything Dinosaur will be Stocking the New for 2019 Papo Spinosaurus

The new for 2019 Papo Spinosaurus dinosaur model will be available to buy from Everything Dinosaur in the summer of 2019. This awesome prehistoric animal model was revealed last week by the French manufacturer and this large dinosaur figure has already garnered a great number of positive comments given that it depicts Spinosaurus as a semi-aquatic quadruped, an ecological niche advocated in a ground-breaking scientific paper published on Spinosaurus aegyptiacus back in 2014. The new Papo Spinosaurus model will be coming into stock in June.

A Secret Papo Project

The Spinosaurus has been kept under wraps by the senior management team at Papo, not even staff members at the company knew about the model’s existence until it was revealed at an exhibition last week. One of Papo’s best-selling dinosaur models of all time is their original Spinosaurus figure, but this model depicted this Late Cretaceous North African theropod as a biped, many palaeontologists now believe that Spinosaurus was a specialised piscivore (fish-eater), that moved around on all fours and spent much of its time in rivers and lakes.

The New for 2019 Papo Spinosaurus

The new Papo figure, will have limited availability, Papo intend to produce all the models in a single production run, so this new Spinosaurus will be much rarer and more difficult to obtain than the rest of the Papo “les dinosaures” figures. The Papo Spinosaurus (2019), will also be excluded from the 2019 catalogue, as Everything Dinosaur understands the situation, only a few selected distributors of Papo’s products will be able to gain access to this new replica.

For example, the dinosaur in the picture is a bipedal carnivore, if you were to look up the term “carnivorous” in a Thesaurus it would suggest alternative words to use such as zoophagous, meat-eating and creophagous.

The CollectA Tarbosaurus Dinosaur Model

The dinosaur model in the photograph is from the CollectA Prehistoric Life range of figures, it is the CollectA Tarbosaurus. The picture shows a Tarbosaurus and a Thesaurus together.

Dimetrodon and Giganotosaurus (Schleich) Reviewed by JurassicCollectables

New for 2019/New Colour Schemes

Both these figures are new colour schemes of previously introduced sculpts. Providing re-painted versions of existing models can help to broaden a product range and provides a contrast to previously introduced figures. For example, the new for 2019 Schleich Giganotosaurus has an altogether darker colour scheme than the Schleich Giganotosaurus (orange) that was launched in 2015. The narrator points this out and goes on to provide a detailed analysis of the subtle use of airbrushing as well as commenting upon the darker colour palette associated with the skull and the airbrushing to bring out the textures in the neck.

Five New Schleich Prehistoric Animals

The Giganotosaurus and the Dimetrodon are two of the five new Schleich prehistoric animals to be introduced in the first part of 2019. We will post up details of other Schleich models due to be introduced in July, but for the meantime, dinosaur fans have a Spinosaurus, Dimorphodon, an armoured dinosaur (Animantarx) and these two prehistoric animals to collect.

Everything Dinosaur has also announced a number of model retirements from the Schleich range.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s article announcing Schleich prehistoric animal model retirements: Schleich Prehistoric Animal Model Retirements (2019).

The Schleich Dimetrodon (2019)

Dimetrodon seems to be a staple in prehistoric animal model ranges and is often described incorrectly as a dinosaur. However, this Permian predator from Schleich is praised by the video narrator for its excellent airbrushing and fine detail, especially on the sail. The texture on the animal’s flank and the carefully painted eyes are highlighted.

JurassicCollectables have a long history of producing dinosaur model reviews, they suggest that the colour scheme for the new for 2019 Dimetrodon reflects the original “Jurassic Park” Dimetrodon model that was introduced in the 1990s. The narrator comments that the figure has been painted in naturalistic colours, reminiscent of many living lizards.
