Rebor Models in Stock

A spokesperson from the UK-based mail order company stated that they were delighted to see these four dinosaur models back in stock. Team members were busy informing customers that these 1:35 scale replicas were available once more.

The spokesperson added:

“The Rebor Carnotaurus replica was introduced in 2021, whilst the Stegosaurus came out in 2019. Collectors have experienced difficulties getting hold of these figures, but now their worries are at an end.”

When asked to comment on the Rebor Hazelnut (Triceratops) and Melon (Stegosaurus), the spokesperson remarked:

“Both Scout figures first came out seven years ago (2016). These little 1:35 scale models depicting baby dinosaurs have proved to be very popular with collectors. There are actually four figures in the Rebor Scout series. There are these two ornithischian figures plus a baby Velociraptor called Stan and a baby Utahraptor named Breeze.”

The Schleich Quetzalcoatlus Video Short

In the Schleich Quetzalcoatlus video short, the figure is shown in a flying pose. It is quickly converted into a pterosaur resting pose. This is a novel design, and we congratulate the development team at Schleich for their innovative approach to flying reptile models.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We have lost track of the number of Quetzalcoatlus figures that Schleich have developed. We think that a Quetzalcoatlus pterosaur has been in production at the company in one form or other for more than fifteen years. The new for 2023 figure is the first Schleich Quetzalcoatlus to have jointed wings.”

Suskityrannus hazelae illustrated as preparations are made for the arrival of Wave 2 of the Beasts of the Mesozoic tyrannosaur figures. Team members have ensured that this early Late Cretaceous tyrannosauroid has been illustrated as the fact sheet for this new figure is being written.

The Suskityrannus hazelae drawing will be converted into a scale drawing. This illustration will be incorporated into a fact sheet on this small theropod dinosaur.

The next shipment of Beasts of the Mesozoic articulated figures is expected to dock at Felixstowe at the end of July. The shipment will contain other, new Wave 2 theropods such as Proceratosaurus, Qianzhousaurus and Lythronax.

To view the Beasts of the Mesozoic figures available from Everything Dinosaur: Beasts of the Mesozoic Articulated Prehistoric Animal Figures.

Suskityrannus hazelae

Named and described in 2019 (Nesbitt et al), this dinosaur is known from two fossil specimens. The fossils come from the Moreno Hill Formation of the Zuni Basin in New Mexico. The deposits associated with the tyrannosauroid fossils have been dated to around 92 million years ago.

To read the Everything Dinosaur blog post that covered the formal scientific description of S. hazelae: Suskityrannus hazelae A Late Cretaceous Tyrannosauroid from New Mexico.

Although known from fossil material representing juveniles, palaeontologists were able to make some startling conclusions. Suskityrannus hazelae, had the same general body shape and feet adapted to running (arctometatarsalian feet), as the later, much larger tyrannosaurs such as Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The Suskityrannus illustration is one of three new drawings that we have commissioned. These drawings will be used in the prehistoric animal fact sheets that we intend to write. Fact sheets are sent out with sales of prehistoric animal and dinosaur figures.”

The new for 2023 Schleich Quetzalcoatlus model has arrived in stock at Everything Dinosaur. This week has been exceptionally busy for Everything Dinosaur team members with new model deliveries from Papo, Mojo Fun and now Schleich.

Still, despite their busy schedule Everything Dinosaur team members manage to keep smiling.

Schleich Quetzalcoatlus Model

The colourful Schleich Quetzalcoatlus model has an innovative design. There are joints at the shoulders and at the hands which permits the wings to be bent. The figure can be posed in a resting position. Alternatively, the wings can be folded out to give the impression that this flying reptile is airborne,

Schleich Quetzalcoatlus.
The Schleich Quetzalcoatlus figure has jointed wings. The model can be displayed flying or in a resting pose.

Schleich has a long history of producing Quetzalcoatlus figures. Quetzalcoatlus featured in the original Schleich “Saurus” model series and also in the smaller Schleich dinosaurs range. This is the first Schleich pterosaur to be produced with articulated wings.

The model has a brightly coloured head. Palaeontologists think that pterosaurs had excellent colour vision.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The head of the Quetzalcoatlus is a striking combination of crimson and purple. The colour scheme chosen by the design team at Schleich is quite inspired.”

The spokesperson added:

“The novel, folded wings provide plenty of options for creative, imaginative play.”

The Woolly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis)

It is thought that this ancient rhinoceros evolved in Asia. During the Pleistocene Epoch it had an extensive range.

To read an Everything Dinosaur blog post from 2011, about the origins of the Coelodonta genus: The Origins of the Woolly Rhino.

Fossils of Coelodonta antiquitatis have been found in the London area (Thames River gravels). The scientific name translates as “ancient hollow tooth”. The name derives from the animal’s teeth. Molars associated with this grazer of grasses and sedge have a distinctive cavity.

The Mojo Fun Woolly Rhinoceros model measures around 19 cm in length. Everything Dinosaur team members estimate the head height to be around 7 cm.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“This is a spectacular replica of a Woolly Rhino. The model has a superb, tactile coat giving the impression of coarse hair. The two horns are carefully sculpted and even show signs of wear. Our congratulations to the design team at Mojo Fun.”

Woolly Rhino Extinction

The last of the Woolly Rhinos are believed to have persisted in Siberia. The genus becoming extinct around 13,000 to 14,000 years ago. A research paper published in 2021 (Wang et al), postulated that some Woolly Rhinos could have survived into the Holocene, with the last of their kind dying out around 9,800 years ago. The conclusions of the study, which was based on the dating of environmental DNA, have been challenged. The environmental DNA could have originated from older sediments and subsequently redeposited into much younger strata.

Hello Old Friends Papo Models

By |2023-07-03T14:29:55+01:00July 3rd, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

The recently reintroduced Papo Archaeopteryx and Woolly Rhino models have arrived in stock at Everything Dinosaur. The two retired figures are available again. Team members have been busy contacting those customers about the reintroduction of these two prehistoric animal models.

The picture (above) shows the first of these two figures to be unpacked this morning. A shipment of Papo models arrived including the Papo Archaeopteryx and the Woolly Rhino.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“It is great to see these old friends again. We know that many collectors missed out on these two models when they were originally launched. These model fans have the opportunity to complete their Papo collections.”

To view the range of Papo prehistoric animal models in stock at Everything Dinosaur: Papo Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animal Figures.

The Papo Woolly Rhinoceros Model

The Papo Woolly Rhinoceros model was introduced in 2013. It was retired a few years later. The figure has proved popular with collectors. Numerous Woolly Rhino fossils have been found in France and Papo were keen to introduce models of animals reflected in the country’s own extensive fossil record. The Woolly Rhinoceros had a large, keeled front horn. This horn and the model’s shape reflected fossil evidence and the prehistoric drawings found in French caves.

Papo Archaeopteryx

The Papo “Urvogel” or Archaeopteryx was first introduced into the “Les Dinosaures” range back in 2014. This colourful theropod model was withdrawn in 2019. One of the ways in which manufacturers can engage with their customers is by reintroducing old favourites that had gone out of production. It also provides the manufacturer with a low-cost model. No mould making costs or development costs are associated with a reintroduced figure.

The Papo Archaeopteryx and Woolly Rhino Figures

Dinosaur fans and model collectors have already begun to speculate on what other recently retired Papo figures might be returned.

The spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur did confirm that discussions had taken place some years ago about the return of the iconic Papo standing T. rex model (green standing T. rex).

Our Favourite Dinosaur is the Popular Protoceratops

By |2024-01-02T06:55:36+00:00June 28th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Main Page, Photos/Pictures of Fossils, Press Releases|0 Comments

What is Everything Dinosaur’s favourite dinosaur? This question was asked recently and although we are fascinated with lots of prehistoric animals, a quick discussion revealed that our favourite dinosaur is Protoceratops.

Palaeontologists can study Protoceratops (there are now two recognised species) at various growth stages from embryos in eggs to extremely old, mature adults.

Faourite dinosaur is Protoceratops.

The “Sheep of the Cretaceous”

Nicknamed the “sheep of the Cretaceous” due to the relatively abundant fossil material. This dinosaur, distantly related to Triceratops and Styracosaurus was formally described 100 years ago (Granger and Gregory,1923). Two species are recognised Protoceratops andrewsi and P. hellenikorhinus (Lambert et al 2001).

The Wild Past Protoceratops model measures around 6.5 cm long.

The picture (above) shows the Wild Past Protoceratops dinosaur model. It is a small figure, but it does come supplied with a nest and an Everything Dinosaur fact sheet.

To view the range of Wild Past models: Wild Past Prehistoric Animal Models and Figures.

Our Favourite Dinosaur is Protoceratops

We have learned a lot about dinosaurs thanks to Protoceratops. It may not be the biggest dinosaur, but this herbivore has played a significant role in helping us to understand more about the Dinosauria and as such we will always regard this animal as something special.

If you visit a Natural History Museum, chances are that somewhere in the dinosaur gallery you will find Protoceratops. It is usually tucked away and it’s never going to attract the visitors like a T. rex, or a Triceratops (distantly related to Protoceratops), but go take a look, as I promise, you will probably learn something new about dinosaurs that you didn’t know before.
