Everything Dinosaur has received the official images for the new for 2023 Papo figures including the new Papo Mosasaurus model. We are now also able to confirm the model’s measurements. The Papo Mosasaurus is due in stock at Everything Dinosaur in early 2023.

Papo Mosasaurus Model

Originally scheduled to be introduced in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Papo Mosasaurus model was delayed and is now due to be released next year (early 2023). Many manufacturers have experienced problems with production, partly caused by issues arising from the global pandemic. However, Papo intend to introduce a total of four new figures into their “Les Dinosaures” range next year.

Two dinosaurs (Concavenator and Einiosaurus) are due to come out along with a second marine reptile model (Kronosaurus). There are also two product reissues (Archaeopteryx and Woolly Rhino).

Mosasaurus Model Measurements

Model measurements have been released by Papo for the new Mosasaurus figure. It will be 25.5 cm in length. The official Papo information also states that the Mosasaurus will be 15 cm in width with a height of 11 cm. We suspect that the width measurement has been taken across the front flippers and the height measurement refers to the height of the tail fluke off the ground.

The Papo Mosasaurus marine reptile model is due in stock at Everything Dinosaur early in 2023.

Beasts of the Mesozoic

The Beasts of the Mesozoic range includes replicas of “raptors” and more recently a series of articulated horned dinosaur figures were introduced. The range of smaller, 1:18 scale figures consists of:

• Velociraptor (V. mongoliensis) with 15 points of articulation.
• Psittacosaurus (P. mongoliensis) with 11 points of articulation.
• Linheraptor (L. exquisitus) with 15 points of articulation.
• Dromaeosaurus (D. albertensis) with 15 points of articulation.
• Protoceratops (P. andrewsi) – named in 1923 with 12 points of articulation.
• Protoceratops (P. hellenikorhinus) – named in 2001 with 12 points of articulation.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur exclaimed:

“It is wonderful to get these amazing, articulated dinosaur figures into stock. Team members have been busy alerting customers who had enquired about them, they are certainly beautiful models – six of the best!”

The new Beasts of the Mesozoic Fans’ Choice Medusaceratops model is in stock at Everything Dinosaur. This beautiful, articulated replica of Medusaceratops lokii is one of the latest horned dinosaur figures in the Beasts of the Mesozoic model series to arrive at Everything Dinosaur’s UK warehouse.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Fans’ Choice Medusaceratops

Fossils of Medusaceratops (M. lokii) are known from Upper Cretaceous deposits of Montana (USA). A member of the centrosaurine clade of horned dinosaurs, Medusaceratops roamed North America around 78 million years ago (Campanian faunal stage of the Late Cretaceous). Palaeontologists estimate that this large herbivore grew to a length in excess of six metres and it might have weighed more than three tonnes.

Astonishing Artwork

As with all the amazing Beasts of the Mesozoic models, the box artwork has been praised. The superb illustration of a resting Medusaceratops was created by Raph Lomotan.

The Beasts of the Mesozoic Adult Triceratops “Steelhorn” model is now in stock at Everything Dinosaur. This limited-edition, articulated horned dinosaur figure has twenty points of articulation and is supplied with interchangeable metal-effect brow horns.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Adult Triceratops “Steelhorn”

The Beasts of the Mesozoic adult Triceratops – the “Steelhorn” version is in 1:18 scale and represents the geologically oldest Triceratops species to have been formally described that is still valid (T. horridus).

“Steelhorn” Model Measurements

This impressive figure measures eighteen inches in length, which is a fraction under forty-six centimetres long when the model is measured from the end of those awesome, interchangeable brow horns to the tip of the tail. The figure is in approximate proportion in terms of horn size, skull length and the length of the tail as based on the latest scientific interpretation of Triceratops horridus.

New Beasts of the Mesozoic Articulated Ceratopsians

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is great to see the new Beasts of the Mesozoic Triceratops figure in stock at Everything Dinosaur. This large ceratopsian model is part of a new sub-brand entitled Cyberzoic, the artwork on the display box is amazing and of course, we will be sending out our Triceratops fact sheet to our customers.”
