Industrial action at the Port of Felixstowe could have an impact on the availability of goods, including Everything Dinosaur’s range of prehistoric animal models and figures in the crucial sales period leading up to Christmas.
Recently, staff at Felixstowe Port, one of the busiest ports in Europe, started industrial action in a dispute over pay. If the dispute is not resolved and further strike action follows, this could have an impact on the range of items available and inventory in the vital retail period – quarter 4.
The Port of Felixstowe manages more than 4 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) per year, including prehistoric animal models and figures destined for Everything Dinosaur’s UK warehouse. Picture credit: Port of Felixstowe.
The Port of Felixstowe
The Port of Felixstowe is the UK’s biggest and busiest container port, and one of the largest in Europe. It handles over 4 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) per year, around 2,000 container ships, including some of the biggest vessels afloat, unload at Felixstowe each year. The port is a vital component of Britain’s commercial infrastructure. If industrial action continues into the autumn, then this could cause significant disruption to already stretched supply chains in the lead up to Christmas.
All sorts of sectors of the UK economy could be affected including legal importers of prehistoric animal models and figures such as Everything Dinosaur.
A spokesperson from the UK-based company commented:
“We continue to monitor the situation and we are working closely with our freight forwarding contacts to mitigate the impact of any disruption to supplies and minimise any inconvenience for our customers.”

Shop Early for Christmas
Whilst alternative ports are a possibility, continued and prolonged industrial action at Felixstowe could have a knock-on effect for the UK supply chain and result in a shortage of products available in shops. Commentators have advised that customers shop early for Christmas as one way of minimising the potential impact of these strikes.
The spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur explained that as the company had their own warehouse, they had been able to build up considerable stock of prehistoric animal models and figures as well as dinosaur toys. It was stressed that deliveries to the warehouse were still taking place.

The Everything Dinosaur spokesperson added:
“We do have shipments arriving at Felixstowe and there are shipments already scheduled and further ones being planned. We have been able to build up our inventory and we currently have thousands of items in stock which should provide some reassurance to our customers.”

Everything Dinosaur has received stock of the new Papo young Smilodon model. This sabre-toothed cat figure was one of two models scheduled to be introduced by Papo last year. However, like many manufacturers, the global pandemic and issues with logistics had delayed the introduction of this prehistoric mammal figure.
The Papo Megalodon (Otodus megalodon) * arrived in September 2021, the young Smilodon was subject to further delays, but this new replica has safely arrived at Everything Dinosaur’s UK warehouse.

Papo Model Colouration
The actual figures are slightly darker than the studio image supplied by Papo. The colouration of a figure can be influenced by the camera settings, the lighting and even the device on which the image is viewed. However, the young Smilodon figure does tend to be a little darker than the official Papo image suggests.

The image (above), is one of the official Papo product images. In contrast, the image below shows a studio shot of the model taken by a team member at Everything Dinosaur. The difference in colouration could reflect different lighting conditions and camera settings.

2109 – The Number of the Beast
The Papo young Smilodon, or to use the term most familiar with our French chums – “le Papo jeune Smilodon”, has the number 2109 stamped on the lowermost portion of the flank. We suspect that this is the batch number, it being a legal requirement so that production batches can be traced, if there ever was a need to recall them.

Model Measurements
The Papo young Smilodon figure measures approximately 9.5 cm in length and the ears of this hand-painted figure stand around 5 cm off the ground. This is the third Smilodon (Sabre-toothed cat) replica figure to be added to the Papo “Les Dinosaures” range after the adult Smilodon (2011) and the maned, Papo roaring Smilodon (2017).

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that the figure was proving to be extremely popular with Papo model collectors, the black lines around the eyes of the model reminded team members of the eyeliner used in ancient Egyptian culture. Cats are among the most iconic animals in ancient Egyptian art and culture. The feline goddess Bastet is perhaps the best-known. Bastet is associated with wishes for family well-being and health as well as protection from danger.

With the announcement of the new PNSO spinosaurid figure Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus earlier this week (Monday, 15th August), team members at Everything Dinosaur thought it might be helpful to outline the taxonomic history of this enigmatic theropod. Fragmentary fossils that led to the establishment of the Sinopliosaurus genus were originally thought to represent a marine reptile. One that had lived in a huge freshwater lake during the Early Jurassic around 180 million years ago (Toarcian faunal stage).
Everything Dinosaur expects this dinosaur model to be in stock in the autumn.
PNSO are adding a second member of the Spinosauridae family to their mid-size model range. Joining Essien the Spinosaurus is Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus. The taxonomic history of Sinopliosaurus is somewhat complicated.
PNSO Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus – an Explanation
Fragmentary bones including three vertebrae, a tooth, elements from the hips (the ischium) and a femur (thigh bone) found in Lower Jurassic (Toarcian faunal stage) Ziliujing Formation exposures at Weiyuan (Sichuan Province, China) were thought to represent a freshwater pliosaur. Although very little of the skeleton was known, the fossil bones that were found were preserved in three-dimensions and not flattened and the pliosaur species Sinopliosaurus weiyuanensis was confidently erected (1944). The femur for example, was described as being of the “usual Plesiosaurian type”, robust, rather squat and not elongated. The ischium was noted as being reminiscent of the Late Cretaceous Canadian plesiosaur Leurospondylus ultimus, which had been erected by Barnum Brown in 1913. L. ultimus itself is a disputed taxon, classified as “incertae sedis”. This marine reptile was described based on fossil material most likely from a juvenile and the material might represent an elasmosaurid.
The taxonomic status of Leurospondylus ultimus remains unresolved.
The Elasmosaurus scale drawing commissioned by Everything Dinosaur as the company’s fact sheet was updated. When Sinopliosaurus weiyuanensis was described, the ischium was thought to closely resemble the hip bones associated with Leurospondylus (L. ultimus). This helped to confirm the diagnosis that S. weiyuanensis fossil material represented a marine reptile – a member of the Plesiosauria clade.
The genus name (Sinopliosaurus) means “Chinese more lizard”, reflecting the assumed close taxonomic relationship with pliosaurs found elsewhere in the world.
Who Named the Pliosaurus Genus?
It was the English anatomist Sir Richard Owen who first used the genus Pliosaurus (Pliosaurus brachydeirus) back in 1841. Owen mistakenly believed that Pliosaurus was “more” closely related to “saurians” (including crocodilians) than it was to Plesiosaurus.
A scale drawing of a Pliosaurus. Fossils from the Lower Jurassic Ziliujing Formation and later fossil discoveries from the geologically much younger Xinlong Formation (sometimes referred to as the Napai Formation), were originally thought to represent a freshwater pliosaur. Only later did some of these fossils become ascribed to a species of spinosaurid theropod dinosaur. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.
The scientific description of S. weiyuanensis was published in the Bulletin of the Geological Society of China in 1944 by the eminent, Chinese palaeontologist and zoologist C.C. (Chung Chien) Young. Regarded as the “Father of Chinese vertebrate palaeontology”, his diagnosis was not challenged or questioned.
Spinosaurid fossils from Asia were unknown, the only substantial research into this enigmatic family of dinosaurs had been taking place in Germany (Stromer – Spinosaurus aegyptiacus). As the fossils were similar to those fossils ascribed to pliosaurs, it was thought that these Chinese fossils too, also represented a marine reptile.
Sinopliosaurus fusuiensis (Hou et al) 1975
Five isolated teeth from the Early Cretaceous Xinlong Formation (sometimes referred to as the Napai Formation) found in Fusui County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (South China), were described by Chinese palaeontologist Hou Lian-Hai and colleagues and a second species of Sinopliosaurus was erected – S. fusuiensis (1975).
The strata associated with these fossils is difficult to date accurately, but the consensus is that these sediments were deposited around 120 to 100 million years ago (Aptian-Albian faunal stage of the Early Cretaceous). The fossils ascribed to S. fusuiensis were around sixty million years younger than the fossil material associated with S. weiyuanensis.
PNSO Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus has an articulated jaw. The genus was originally erected under the presumption that the fossil material including isolated teeth represented a pliosaur (marine reptile).
The Emergence of Asian Spinosaurs – Siamosaurus suteethorni
Fossil teeth collected from the Lower Cretaceous Sao Khua Formation (Barremian faunal stage) in north-eastern Thailand by a joint Thai/French team in the early 1980s led to the conclusion that they represented an unusual theropod dinosaur or possibly an, as yet undescribed crocodyliform. A reassessment of the fossil material in 1986 led to the establishment of the Asian spinosaurid species Siamosaurus suteethorni. Subsequently, other fossil material has been described and assigned to this genus, principally fossils excavated from the slightly geologically younger Khok Kruat Formation of Thailand.
Siamosaurus was the first Asian spinosaur to be described and following its scientific description (Buffetaut and Ingavat, 1986), teeth and other material found in Asia has been reassigned to the Spinosauridae.
In 2008, Buffetaut and colleagues published a scientific paper (Cambridge University Press), that challenged the placement of Sinopliosaurus fusuiensis as a marine reptile. It was concluded that the conical teeth assigned to S. fusuiensis were not typical of a member of the Plesiosauria. Specifically, it was noted that these teeth bear carinae (sharp edges) on the plane of the crown’s curvature, a characteristic not seen in Plesiosauria teeth. Buffetaut et al subsequently re-described the material and stated that the teeth came from a spinosaurid theropod closely allied to Siamosaurus suteethorni.
The exact taxonomic position of S. fusuiensis remains unresolved, although the discovery of potential spinosaurid fossil material in Japan and the naming of the spinosaurid Ichthyovenator (I. laosensis) by Allain et al in 2012 confirms the presence of this enigmatic family of theropod dinosaurs in the Early Cretaceous of Asia.

Favourites Back into Stock Too
The enormous Nick the Ceratosaurus dinosaur model is back in stock. Brook (the not quite so big but still an impressive 48 cm long), Ophthalmosaurus is also available once more.
The spokesperson confirmed that Everything Dinosaur was committed to stocking older PNSO products as well as the latest additions to the PNSO Age of Dinosaurs model series.
PNSO have announced that they will be adding a replica of the Chinese spinosaurid Sinopliosaurus to their range of mid-sized prehistoric animal models. This new for 2022 dinosaur model is expected in stock at Everything Dinosaur in the autumn (2022).
PNSO Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus measures 29.3 cm long and stands 8.5 cm high.
Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus
Say hello to Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus, a genus of spinosaurid dinosaur with a rather convoluted and complicated taxonomic history. This is the second member of the Spinosauridae family to be added to the company’s mid-sized model range after Essien the Spinosaurus was announced back in quarter 4 of 2020.
The Sinopliosaurus measures an impressive 29.3 cm long and it stands around 8.5 cm high. As with other figures in the PNSO mid-size model range, it has no declared scale (helpful as the size estimates for Sinopliosaurus are speculative).
It has been given a deep, broad tail, in keeping with some of the latest research associated with the Spinosauridae, specifically Spinosaurus aegyptiacus.
The broad, deep tail of Sinopliosaurus can be seen in this image of the new PNSO dinosaur model.
Spinosaurid Supplied with Posters and a Full-colour Booklet
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that this exciting, new dinosaur figure would be in stock in the autumn and that it would be supplied with a 64-page, fully illustrated booklet and an animal poster. The model would also have an articulated lower jaw.

Spectacular Spinosaurid – Sinopliosaurus
Known from highly fragmentary fossils, once thought to represent a pliosaur (marine reptile), Sinopliosaurus (S. fusuiensis) was named and scientifically described in 1975 (Hou, Yeh and Zhao), but eventually assigned to the Spinosauridae family when evidence of Asian spinosaurids emerged.
It is the only spinosaur described to date from China. The spectacular Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus will have an articulated lower jaw.

Expected in Stock – Autumn 2022
The PNSO Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus dinosaur model is expected to be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in the autumn (2022).
Why does a spinosaurid have a name that sounds like Pliosaurus – a genus of marine reptile? The taxonomic history of this theropod is both convoluted and complicated. It involves Early Jurassic fossils, Sir Richard Owen and his mistakes, Early Cretaceous fossil material, excavations in Thailand and Laos plus a lot of confusion. We will post up an explanation on Wednesday 17th August (2022), that hopefully, sheds some light on all this.

PNSO Chuanchuan the Lingwulong
Measuring nearly forty-eight centimetres in length the PNSO Chuanchuan the Lingwulong dinosaur model is one of the largest prehistoric animal figures to be added by PNSO to their Age of Dinosaurs range for some time.
Palaeontologists are uncertain as to the actual size of this dicraeosaurid, (Superfamily: Diplodocoidea/Family: Dicraeosauridae). Size estimates vary with a consensus, based on the currently known fossil material coalescing around the 17-20-metre-long mark.
Named and described back in 2018 (Xu et al), Lingwulong is the first ever member of the Diplodocoidea discovered in Asia and also the oldest known to science. Its fossils (several individuals), coming from the Yanan Formation in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China. The strata are estimated to be around 175 to 168 million years old (late Toarcian to Bajocian faunal stages of the Jurassic).

Everything Dinosaur have been informed that the forthcoming industrial action at Royal Mail will lead to delays in parcel deliveries both in the UK and overseas. Our customers can be assured that Everything Dinosaur team members will be putting in place measures to protect customers and to minimise disruption as much as is possible.
Everything Dinosaur working hard to manage the despatch of parcels during the period of industrial action at Royal Mail. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.
Following a ballot amongst its members back in July, the Communication Workers Union (CWU) threatened strike action.
Royal Mail has issued the following statement:
“The Communication Workers Union has informed Royal Mail that they will call upon their members to undertake strike action on the following dates: 26th and 31st August and 8th and 9th September 2022. Royal Mail believes there are no grounds for industrial action. Royal Mail is ready to talk further with the CWU to try to avert damaging industrial action, but it must be about both change and pay.”
Contingency Plans in Place
We have already put in plans to try to mitigate the impact of the proposed industrial action. We intend to implement our Christmas period action plan. This means that we will work longer hours including Sundays to ensure orders are picked, prepared and packed as quickly as we can so that they can be sent out as soon as Royal Mail collections commence.
Everything Dinosaur works with several courier companies not just Royal Mail and will be exploring how we can support our delivery service in the light of the announcement of industrial action by the Communication Workers Union (summer/autumn 2022). Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“We have an exceptionally good relationship with all the delivery companies that we work with. We have gone out of our way to build effective, strong communication between ourselves and our delivery partners. We have already implemented an action plan to help mitigate this disruption and to minimise any inconvenience that customers might face.”
The proposed CWU strike days:
Friday 26th August (Friday before the UK Bank Holiday on Monday 29th August).
Wednesday 31st August.
Thursday 8th September.
Friday 9th September.
CWU must provide Royal Mail with 14 days’ notice prior to any other strike action.
Buy Early – Consider Christmas Purchases
The advice to customers is to buy a few days earlier than they normally would. Please allow extra time for deliveries to be made. If the industrial action continues into the autumn, then it will start to have an impact on Christmas deliveries, so the clear message is shop early for Christmas.
Last year, many retailers had problems obtaining stock in the important sales period in the run up to the festive season. These problems were largely caused by issues with global logistics. Customers were advised to buy early to avoid disappointment, this advice is still relevant. There are on-going problems with global logistics which are likely to be exacerbated by industrial action at Felixstowe port. With potential disruption to mail services, it is advisable and sensible to shop early.
Everything Dinosaur continues to impress its customers both at home and overseas with the company receiving top marks for its customer service and the range and quality of prehistoric animal models that is sells.
Despite difficult trading conditions globally, sales of Everything Dinosaur toys and dinosaur models, have continued to stay strong, helped by the company’s excellent reputation for customer service as independently verified by Feefo.

When reviewing the CollectA Deluxe Estemmenosuchus the reviewer wrote:
“When I can’t find a particular figure locally (Toronto) my next step is to check if Everything Dinosaur has it in stock! I’ve likely been buying from them for at least 4 or 5 years, and I know that sooner or later I’ll be ordering from them again! Well packaged for transit, reasonable prices and knowing that I’m not just buying “on-line” I’m buying from Everything Dinosaur!”
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur thanked all those hundreds of customers who had sent in reviews and stated:
“We are truly humbled by all the kind and generous comments and reviews that we receive. With the global pandemic and so many difficulties with trade at the moment, customer reviews are more important than ever and the kind comments and praise we receive really help to keep us all going.”
A model collector and fan of dinosaurs praised Everything Dinosaur team members for their great customer service and for providing prehistoric animal figures that would otherwise be difficult to obtain.
Having supplied Everything Dinosaur with a detailed review of his recent acquisition – the Dino Hazard Irritator challengeri model, William thanked Everything Dinosaur team members for their hard work.
The theropod Irritator challengeri is associated with the Romualdo Formation whilst the lungfish (Equinoxiodus alcantarensis) is associated with the geologically younger Alcântara Formation. A dinosaur model collector reviewed the figure and praised Everything Dinosaur for their customer service and their willingness to bring into stock difficult to obtain prehistoric animal replicas.

The dinosaur model reviewer praised Dino Hazard’s Irritator challengeri figure commenting that it was:
“One of the most accurate Spinosauridae figures on the market.”
The reviewer also reminded fellow model collectors to only purchase from official stockists such as Everything Dinosaur. By purchasing through a reputable company such as the UK-based Everything Dinosaur, collectors could be assured that the model makers were being properly supported and this would help them with future product development.
Thanking Everything Dinosaur
William thanked Everything Dinosaur team members for their hard work and dedication.
He added:
“For the legion of paleo-figure collectors we truly value all you have done and all you will do for us in the future. During these uncertain times you were always there for us during the pandemic. From searching the leading brands to all the tireless efforts to get the stock from suppliers to your warehouse to our front doors.”
Thank you Everything Dinosaur for your excellent product range and fantastic customer service. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.
The reviewer praised team members for their willingness to invest in product safety tests which permitted the importation of prehistoric animal models and figures.
