By |2024-04-12T18:22:38+01:00April 14th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

Popular Beasts of the Mesozoic figures are coming back into stock at Everything Dinosaur. A shipment of Beasts of the Mesozoic models is expected next week. The shipment will consist of ceratopsians and tyrannosaurs including the blue-coloured Beasts of the Mesozoic Gorgosaurus model.  Team members will be spending time contacting all those customers who wanted to be informed when these articulated dinosaur models arrive.  In addition to the horned dinosaurs and the tyrannosaurs the delivery will also include some “raptor” figures too.

The Beasts of the Mesozoic Gorgosaurus libratus articulated figure is coming back into stock at Everything Dinosaur. The Gorgosaurus figure was scheduled to be part of the third wave of these tyrannosaur figures (September 2023).  A new delivery of these figures is expected at Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Figures

The Beasts of the Mesozoic range consists of articulated models.  Each figure can be posed in a multitude of positions.  These replicas have proved to be extremely popular amongst dinosaur fans and model collectors.  The colourful Bistahieversor model (Bistahieversor sealeyi) is also in the latest Everything Dinosaur shipment.

New CollectA Polacanthus YouTube Video Nears Completion

By |2024-04-12T15:41:00+01:00April 12th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos/Pictures of Fossils, Press Releases|0 Comments

The new CollectA Polacanthus YouTube video is nearly complete. This video review will examine how accurately the model reflects the known fossil material.  A review of armoured dinosaur fossil specimens associated with the Wealden Group is continuing.  Isolated dermal armour fossils from southern England and the Isle of Wight may not necessarily represent the Polacanthus taxon.  With the arrival of a new CollectA Polacanthus figure this year, team members have taken the opportunity to create a short YouTube video outlining the changing perceptions regarding Polacanthus foxii.

How accurate is the new CollectA Polacanthus?

Reviewing the CollectA Polacanthus

Everything Dinosaur were fortunate to be sent an early prototype of the figure.  This figure has been used in our video review.  It is a 3D print, and it has been painted in accordance with the production figure’s approved colour scheme.  However, it is approximately the same size as the production model, albeit the model has two drainage holes located on its underside.

To view the current range of CollectA Deluxe prehistoric animal figures in stock: CollectA Prehistoric Animal Scale Models.

A spokesperson explained that as the material representing members of the Thyreophora was being reviewed, so it was likely that more taxa of British armoured dinosaurs would be erected.  The spokesperson outlined that the Thyreophora was a clade.  It consists of ornithischian armoured dinosaurs.  To date, three armoured dinosaur taxa are associated with the Wealden Group, these dinosaurs are:

  • Hylaeosaurus (H. armatus) named by Mantell in 1833.
  • Polacanthus (P. foxii) named in 1865.
  • Vectipelta (V. barretti) named in 2023.

However, palaeontologists have become less confident over assigning armoured dinosaur fossils from the Wealden Group to a specific taxon.  Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Completing the CollectA Deluxe Polacanthus Video

The video consists of several pieces of narration including a short segment that explains the history of Polacanthus research.  In addition, the video highlights some of the confusing perceptions that arose following the first scientific reconstruction of Polacanthus in 1905 (Nopcsa).  Fortunately, the review of the figure has been concluded.  This section has proved to be the most difficult part of the video to create.  The work entailed undertaking an examination of the CollectA model and comparing it to the holotype fossil material.

The CollectA Polacanthus YouTube video review should be live on Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube site in a few days.

Haolonggood have given Everything Dinosaur permission to publish details about new prehistoric animal model introductions.  We can reveal details of the next fifteen new dinosaur models to be made.  All of these dinosaurs are herbivores.  There are no theropods.  There are no carnivorous dinosaurs planned, at least for the next few months.

Haolonggood new dinosaur models for 2024.

New Haolonggood dinosaur models for 2024. Fifteen new dinosaur models have been announced. Annotation by Everything Dinosaur.

Fifteen New Dinosaur Models

The fifteen new dinosaur models from Haolonggood represent three sauropods and five horned dinosaurs.  In addition, there are five members of the Thyreophora (armoured dinosaurs).  The other two dinosaurs are members of the Saurolophinae subfamily of hadrosaurs (Maiasaura and Edmontosaurus).  The majority of the models represent dinosaurs that lived during the Cretaceous and roamed North America.

The full list:

  • Mamenchisaurus – known from the Late Jurassic of Asia (China).
  • Amargasaurus – a South American member of the Dicraeosauridae from the Early Cretaceous of Argentina.
  • Camarasaurus – associated with the famous Morrison Formation of the western United States.
  • Huayangosaurus – a primitive stegosaur from the Middle Jurassic of southwestern China.
  • Saichania – named after the “Saichan-tue” mountains of the Gobi Desert. Fossils of Saichania come from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia.
  • Gastonia – from the Yellow Cat Member of the Lower Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah (Early Cretaceous).
  • Euoplocephalus – named in 1910 (Lambe) and known from Montana and Alberta (Late Cretaceous).
  • Maiasaura – “Good Mother Lizard” from the Late Cretaceous of western Canada and the USA.
  • Edmontosaurus – a large genus of hadrosaur from North America (Late Cretaceous).
  • Diabloceratops – known from Utah, Diabloceratops was the first centrosaurine dinosaur to be described from fossils found south of Montana.
  • Utahceratops – from the Late Cretaceous of Utah with the trivial name honouring palaeontologist Mike Getty.
  • Styracosaurus – known from the USA and Alberta Canada, the famous centrosaurine called “Spiked Lizard”.
  • Einiosaurus – from the Two Medicine Formation of Montana (USA) another Late Cretaceous North American ceratopsid.
  • Xenoceratops – “Alien Horned Face” from the Upper Cretaceous beds of the Foremost Formation in Alberta (Canada).

PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus YouTube Video Script

By |2024-03-26T12:30:09+00:00March 29th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur has recently published a short video reviewing the PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus dinosaur model. The video also summarised recent research into this remarkable theropod.  In September 2014, researchers published an influential paper that postulated that Spinosaurus was an obligate quadruped. That is, unlike all the other theropods known to science, Spinosaurus was not a biped.  It walked on all fours.

Model makers were keen to develop Spinosaurus aegyptiacus figures that reflected this research.

Ten Years of Spinosaurus Research

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus has been the focus of intense research over the last ten years. Its mode of locomotion, diet and behaviour have come under detailed scrutiny.  Palaeontologists remain uncertain as to whether this dinosaur was an aquatic animal.  The 2014 paper (Ibrahim et al) postulated that Spinosaurus was semiaquatic.  It spent a considerable amount of time in or around water.  Earlier research had demonstrated that Spinosaurus was probably a piscivore.  What proportion of its diet comprised fish remains unknown.

Given the large number of super-sized predators within the palaeoenvironment, it has been suggested that Spinosaurus became specialised in order to avoid competition.  This is a form of niche partitioning.

The Everything Dinosaur video review of the PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus figure summarises some of this recent research.

Visit Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube channel (please subscribe): Everything Dinosaur on YouTube.

The reconstruction of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus as a quadruped attracted criticism.  Some scientists commented upon the lack of more complete fossil specimens representing individual animals.  The researchers led by Nizar Ibrahim reconstructed Spinosaurus using several different fossil specimens.  The scaling of some of the bones used in the reconstruction caused concern.

Tracing Spinosaurus Research with PNSO Figures

Spinosaurus figures have been part of the PNSO model range for many years.  A 1/35th scale Scientific Art figure (below) was an early addition to the company’s dinosaur portfolio.  This dinosaur figure was referred to as “Essien”. A model of a baby Spinosaurus was also included in the company’s prehistoric animal model series.

PNSO Spinosaurus model "Essien".

The PNSO Spinosaurus measures around 49 cm long.

A second “Essien” the Spinosaurus model was introduced by PNSO in 2020.  In 2022, the 1:35 scale model was revamped and relaunched in a new colour scheme.  It still depicted Spinosaurus as an obligate theropod.  Changing perceptions about this dinosaur can be traced through the evolution of PNSO Spinosaurus figures.

PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus

This year (2024), a new Spinosaurus model has been introduced by PNSO.  The PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus figure reflects some of the latest scientific thinking.  It has a broad tail as demonstrated in a scientific paper published in 2020 (Ibrahim et al).  It is presented as a bipedal dinosaur (walking on its hind legs).

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“Spinosaurus is likely to intrigue palaeontologists for many years.  The absence of an articulated and more complete fossil specimen representing an individual animal is hampering research.  The new PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus broadly reflects the current scientific thinking.  That is, until the next Spinosaurus aegyptiacus fossil find.”

Ironically, the day Everything Dinosaur received a PNSO delivery, a new paper was published that challenged the findings of earlier research.  Potential measurement errors were highlighted in a study originally published in 2022 that concluded that Spinosaurus had dense bones to help it dive and submerge.  As team members were unloading the lorry, news of the publication of the latest Spinosaurus paper broke.

Dinopedia Dinosaur Book and a New Chinese Version

By |2024-03-29T16:22:05+00:00March 28th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Book Reviews, Dinosaur Fans, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The popular Dinopedia dinosaur book written by Dr Darren Naish a lecturer affiliated with the University of Southampton, has been translated into Mandarin.  The book published by Princeton University Press is now available in China (March 2024).  This brings the work of this highly respected researcher, author, scientific consultant and lecturer to a new audience.  Everything Dinosaur was informed about this development by the author as we had been one of the first to review the original English version.  Subsequently, a summary of our review has been published on the jacket of this version destined for the Chinese market.

The Chinese Dinopedia version features a review by Everything Dinosaur.

The jacket cover of the newly published (March 2024) Chinese version of Dinopedia by Dr Darren Naish. The first review published on the back cover comes from Everything Dinosaur.

The Dinopedia Dinosaur Book

The Dinopedia dinosaur book was first published in October 2021, with the U.S. print following shortly afterwards. The English version of the book has an elaborate cloth cover, with a detailed drawing of a Styracosaurus (by the author) stamped into it.  The book provides an excellent pocket-sized guide to the Dinosauria. It features dozens of entries on topics ranging from the Hell Creek Formation to the enigmatic heterodontosaurids and the K-Pg boundary. This is a beautifully-crafted A–Z compendium packed with facts and interesting snippets about dinosaurs.

A New PNSO Lufengosaurus Dinosaur Model

By |2024-03-29T06:40:46+00:00March 26th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur will be stocking the new for 2024 PNSO Lufengosaurus dinosaur model.  This model is due to arrive at the company’s warehouse in a few weeks.  The figure, entitled Yiran the Lufengosaurus, demonstrates how far the company has come since their first Lufengosaurus model was introduced.

The new for 2024 PNSO Yiran the Lufengosaurus figure.

PNSO Lufengosaurus Dinosaur Model

The new Lufengosaurus figure has been beautifully painted.  Everything Dinosaur has worked with PNSO for many years and ironically, one of the first dinosaur models that PNSO produced was a Lufengosaurus.  The original model was depicted as a quadruped.  However, most palaeontologists consider Lufengosaurus (L. huenei) to have walked on its hind legs for most of the time.  The forelimbs are considerably shorter when compared to the length of this dinosaur’s legs.  In addition, the long neck and widely spaced, peg-like teeth in the jaw suggest that this dinosaur browsed on the branches of trees.

Model Measurements

The new Lufengosaurus figure has already been praised by dinosaur model collectors.  The model measures around twenty-five cm long and it stands nearly eleven centimetres tall.  Although know from dozens of fossil specimens, how big Lufengosaurus huenei was remains uncertain.  It could have measured more than nine metres in length.  However, many vertebrate palaeontologists consider the more conservative body length of six metres more likely.  Based on a six-metre-long animal, this new PNSO Lufengosaurus is in approximately 1:24 scale.  If Lufengosaurus did reach a length of nine metres, this figure would be in approximately 1:36 scale.

Scientific Papers and Published Research

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus has been the subject of increased scrutiny over the last decade or so.  The debate regarding the lifestyle and the behaviour of this carnivorous dinosaur has been intense.  Palaeontologists are divided as to whether Spinosaurus was an aquatic animal, mainly terrestrial or perhaps semiaquatic.  It possesses several characteristics that suggest adaptations for life in the water.  However, whether this animal could dive and remain submerged remains controversial.  Indeed, papers have been published which conclude that Spinosaurus would have been unstable in water.  Its unusual body shape and huge dorsal fin could impede this animal’s ability to stay upright when it was swimming.

The Everything Dinosaur Aymen the Spinosaurus YouTube video summarises some of the scientific papers.  It is likely that the Spinosaurus lifestyle debate will continue indefinitely.  The absence of articulated fossil specimens hampers research.

The Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel: Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube Channel.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that the video will show the new Spinosaurus figure.  The video would also provide a summary of the research over the last ten years.

The spokesperson added:

“Our plan is to provide a brief overview of the recent scientific papers.  We intend to outline the findings of some of the studies that have been undertaken following the influential 2014 paper by Ibrahim et al published in the journal Science.”
