“Turntable Tuesday” CollectA Deluxe Woolly Mammoth

It’s “Turntable Tuesday” at Everything Dinosaur and time to give another prehistoric animal figure in our extensive range, a spin. Today, we have selected one of the most underrated models in the CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Life model range – the 1:20 scale Woolly Mammoth. It is time this fabulous figure of an iconic Ice Age animal got put into the spotlight.

CollectA Deluxe 1:20 Scale Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius)

Lots of prehistoric animal ranges include a Woolly Mammoth figure (M. primigenius). It seems that as soon as a manufacturer starts to extend a range beyond the Dinosauria, the Woolly Mammoth comes into consideration. The CollectA 1:20 scale replica was introduced back in 2009 along with the Woolly Mammoth calf, which coincidentally, makes a short appearance in our video. Interestingly, although no scale declaration was ever made for the calf model, these models were originally given sequential catalogue and production numbers. They do work very well together in terms of scale.

Our short video showcasing these excellent replicas lasts around one minute fifty seconds. Using a turntable to display the models we can permit viewers an all-round view of the figure. We did have to place the adult Mammoth on its back so that we could show the beautifully sculpted teeth in the upper jaw. Those tusks (upper incisors), are beautifully weathered too.

Model Measurements – Are They 1:20 Scale Woolly Mammoth Models?

The CollectA Deluxe adult Woolly Mammoth measures around 20 cm long and that magnificent head is approximately 15 cm off the ground. Different species were different sizes and as with extant elephants today, the males were much larger than the females. Scientific measurements based on Mammuthus primigenius suggest an adult body size of around 3.5 metres to 4 metres in length, so this figure is indeed in approximately 1:20 scale.

“Turntable Tuesday” – Paleo-Creatures Kosmoceratops

It’s “Turntable Tuesday” at Everything Dinosaur and this week we take the Paleo-Creatures Kosmoceratops for a spin. This is the second Paleo-Creatures figure that we have featured in this series, following hot on the heels of Moschops comes this beautiful figure of “ornate horned face”.

Paleo-Creatures Kosmoceratops Figure

The Paleo-Creatures Kosmoceratops figure measures around thirteen centimetres in length and it is approximately in 1:38 scale. This hand-crafted figure is just one of an excellent range of figures all designed and sculpted by the talented Jesús Toledo. Formally described in 2010, this horned dinosaur lived around 76-74 million years ago (Campanian faunal stage of the Late Cretaceous). The binomial scientific name is Kosmoceratops richardsoni, the species name honours Scott Richardson, who discovered the first fossils associated with this species in Utah in 2006. The naming of Kosmoceratops after Scott Richardson was also in recognition for his work in mapping the geology of the “Beehive state”.

Paleo-Creatures Kosmoceratops “Turntable Tuesday”

The aim of Everything Dinosaur’s “turntable Tuesday” videos is to post up once a week, a short video showcasing a prehistoric animal figure on our YouTube channel. The turntable allows viewers to see the figure in close detail from all angles, it is a 360 degree tour of a model. The Kosmoceratops figure video lasts around ninety seconds, our objective is to produce a video that lasts between a minute and two and a half minutes in length. With our own studio, we intend to make more videos including detailed reviews of dinosaur models in the near future.

Out and About with the new for 2020 Mojo Fun Brontosaurus

New for 2020 Mojo Fun Brontosaurus Model – Out and About with Brontosaurus

Everything Dinosaur is expecting deliveries of Papo prehistoric animals, Safari Ltd figures and CollectA models over the next few days. All these figures have been put on stand-by, ready for team members to move into our warehouse – all part of our contingency plans put in place prior to the lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak. By implementing good hygiene and ensuring social distancing is observed, our mail order operations can keep going.

The Mojo Fun Brontosaurus Dinosaur Model

However, despite our best efforts and all that planning, the production schedules for many new figures have had to be delayed. For example, we are still awaiting the arrival of the new for 2020 Mojo Fun prehistoric animal and extinct figures. We do have some production samples around the office, so we thought we would take advantage of the good weather to photograph one or two of these new models.

A More Muted Colour Scheme

The Mojo Fun Deluxe Brontosaurus has a much more muted colour scheme than the Diplodocus figure that was introduced in 2018. The skin shows nice texturing and in order to reduce the length of the model as well as to animate the figure, the head and that thick sauropod neck is turned to the side and the tail curved round as if the dinosaur was just about to flick it out to deter a predator.

Following the extensive review of the Diplodocidae and the resurrection of the Brontosaurus genus, Mojo Fun is the latest manufacturer to introduce a replica of this iconic dinosaur. A Brontosaurus model has been added recently by CollectA (2018), to their not for scale “Prehistoric Life” range. It is likely that more Brontosaurus models will be made in the future.

Team members have measured the figure. It is approximately 22 cm long and the head is around 11 cm off the ground. It is hoped that this new figure and the rest of the new for 2020 Mojo Fun prehistoric animal models will be in stock later on this year. If we get any additional information with regards to a delivery date we will be sure to post up this news onto our various social media pages.

Paleo-Creatures Moschops “Turntable Tuesday”

It is time to pop into the Everything Dinosaur studio to produce another YouTube video. This week, it is the Paleo-Creatures Moschops model that is being put through its paces for our “turntable Tuesday” feature. This is the first time that we have made such a video involving one of the prehistoric animal replicas from the Paleo-Creatures range.

A Paleo-Creatures Moschops Model

The Paleo-Creatures range features an array of incredible replicas, all designed and individually sculpted by Jesús Toledo, a very talented artist based in Spain. The Paleo-Creatures range includes dinosaurs and some of the more bizarre and astonishing animals from the fossil record, amazing creatures such as Moschops, a 1:20 scale figure of a therapsid, fossils of which come from the famous Karoo Basin of southern Africa.

The Paleo-Creatures Moschops figure is supplied with a display base, two plant accessories and a helpful bilingual data card (written in both English and Spanish).

An Exciting Range of Prehistoric Animal Figures

Each and every one of the figures in the Paleo-Creatures range has been individually hand-crafted. Only a few of each type of model is produced at any time. The beautifully detailed scale models represent a wide range of extinct creatures, including replicas from the Palaeozoic, such as the Late Permian Moschops, but also the likes of Aegirocassis, an Ordovician anomalocarid, the prehistoric shark Xenacanthus, the astonishing Tullimonstrum and the enormous arthropod Arthropleura.

New Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex Deluxe with Articulated Jaw

By Mike|2024-02-17T20:46:56+00:00April 20th, 2020|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Reviewing the Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex Deluxe

The current difficulties we are all experiencing (coronavirus outbreak), are having a significant impact on all our lives. At Everything Dinosaur, we are doing what we can to continue to work as normally as possible. Whilst the mail order side of the company is still operating, we are hampered by delays in production both of existing and new for 2020 prehistoric animal models. Take for example, the Mojo Fun Prehistoric Life model range.

Mojo Fun Prehistoric Life Models

A lot of work had gone into revamping and extending the company’s range of dinosaur figures. A total of sixteen new models/colour variants of existing models were due to be introduced this spring. These have all been delayed due to coronavirus. Everything Dinosaur is doing all it can to bring these new models into stock, we are optimistic that these figures will be available in a few weeks.

In the meantime, the delay has allowed us to get a little creative when it comes to highlighting this range. With some production models and prototypes around the office, this gave us the opportunity for some collectors and dinosaur enthusiasts to get their hands on a replica long before anybody else.

The Everything Dinosaur website: Visit Everything Dinosaur.

The new for 2020 Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex with an articulated jaw was despatched to Thomas, a student with an ambition to study palaeontology at university, so that he could provide a review of a figure from an expert’s point of view.

Our thanks to Thomas, for his comments and for the excellent photographs he sent us.

Reviewing the Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex with Articulated Jaw

The 2020 Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex is a great improvement upon their previous Red T. rex. The new 2020 figure is a large figure at around 30 cm or 1 foot long and over 10 cm tall (10.8 cm tall roughly). The model’s dynamic walking posture can be interpreted in many different ways allowing for several creative scenarios to be made, such as stalking prey, exploring territory, a general walking motion or even pursuing a fleeing prey item.

Stalking Prey or Exploring a Territory – The New for 2020 Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex Deluxe

Picture credit: Thomas

An Attractive Choice of Colouration

The figure is sturdy and stands well but can have difficulty standing on softer ground (grass) and uneven surfaces such as gravel. The rusty orange to copper colouration chosen for the figure is an interesting and attractive choice which helps to make the model stand out more amongst other figures and perhaps more appealing to younger minds.

The Texture of the T. rex Replica is Highlighted

Picture credit: Thomas

Ridges Along the Neck, Back and Halfway Down the Tail

The texture of the figure is rough with multiple bumpy ridges along the top of the neck, back and halfway down the tail. The model is quite firm in hand and has a nice weight to it. On top of this, the figure is also fairly robust and can endure rough play but the paint job in certain areas of the body can be chipped easily, though, in the case of imaginative play this may give the figure further character as the scrapes can be interpreted as battle scarring.

The Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex has an Articulated Jaw

Eye-catching Colouration

Its eye-catching colouration gives the impression of a fierce animal, something many people might find appealing about this figure. The articulated jaw feature allows for further creative and imaginative play though it can be a bit loose at times and has a somewhat limited degree of movement. The overall sculpt of the figure gives off some “Jurassic Park” vibes adding to the figure’s appeal for creative play. The hands of the figure are not pronated which is a plus.

Plenty of Detail to Admire in the Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex Deluxe

Concluding Comments

In conclusion, the 2020 Mojo Fun Tyrannosaurus rex figure is great for imaginative and creative play and is quite durable and robust. Its relatively high sturdiness also means that on hard surfaces it is unlikely to fall over very easily, an issue that a lot of older theropod figures have, this is achieved by an increase in foot size and a well-balanced figure opting for a more dense plastic allowing for the figure to stand firmly.

Ideal for Imaginative and Creative Play

Mojo Fun Woolly Mammoth Models

Mojo Fun Woolly Mammoth Models

As team members at Everything Dinosaur eagerly await the arrival of the new figures in the Mojo Fun Prehistoric and Extinct range, we thought it would be an opportune moment to reflect on some of the current figures in this extensive range of prehistoric animals. As well as lots of different dinosaurs, the Mojo Fun series also includes numerous prehistoric mammals (and not so prehistoric in the case of the Thylacine and the Quagga, as both are only recently extinct).

Mojo Fun Woolly Mammoth Models

The Mojo Fun model range includes a splendid Brontotherium replica inspired, no doubt, by the 19th century fossil discoveries, along with a sturdy Deinotherium and three extinct mammalian carnivores, namely Daeodon, Hyaenodon gigas and a Smilodon replica, a staple in most model ranges these days.

Naturally, the Mojo Fun range also features a Woolly Mammoth, a pair to be precise, an adult and a calf.

Mojo Fun Woolly Mammoths

Just as with the Smilodon, Woolly Mammoth models (Mammuthus primigenius), tend to be somewhat ubiquitous today and these two excellent Mojo Fun figures can be easily overlooked. However, we urge collectors to consider adding these two delightful figures to their Ice Age animal collection. The adult animal model has a beautifully detailed, long, shaggy coat and the paintwork around the eye is very well done. The adult Woolly Mammoth figure is around ten centimetres high at the shoulders, it makes an ideal and cost effective 1:20 scale figure for use in dioramas.

The juvenile model works well with the adult, it has a slightly lighter coat and the model has been sculpted in fine detail. The mouth is open and the trunk raised given the impression of movement.

New CollectA Rearing Diplodocus “Turntable Tuesday”

By Mike|2024-02-17T18:12:05+00:00April 14th, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases, Product Reviews|0 Comments

CollectA Rearing Diplodocus “Turntable Tuesday”

Another week, another “Turntable Tuesday” experience for a prehistoric animal model. This time, it’s the new for 2020 CollectA rearing Diplodocus model going for a spin on the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel. This figure is a new colour variant (elephantine grey), of the original rearing Diplodocus figure that was introduced in 2013. The beautifully painted sauropod has certainly proved to be a big hit with collectors.

The CollectA Rearing Diplodocus (2020) “Turntable Tuesday”

Video credit: Everything Dinosaur

CollectA Rearing Diplodocus

In this short video, (it lasts a little under ninety seconds), we show the model in its rearing pose as well as balanced on four legs. The CollectA rearing Diplodocus has been beautifully sculpted and it is so well balanced that the model stands on four legs as well as in its rearing pose. The video also shows how well painted the figure is. When the 2013 figure was released, it had a very different colour scheme, this new colour variant depicts the colossal Diplodocus in a colour scheme we describe as “elephantine grey”.

Many large terrestrial tetrapods such as elephants and rhinos tend to be a uniform grey in colour. Whether large dinosaurs such as the sauropodomorphs shared this colour scheme is open to speculation, but the new 2020 rearing Diplodocus contrasts nicely with the earlier rearing Diplodocus figure.

To make this point about the colour scheme chosen for this new model, the Everything Dinosaur “turntable Tuesday” video does feature an elephant!

CollectA Age of Dinosaurs “Prehistoric Life”

Suitable for dinosaur fans and collectors aged three years and over, the Diplodocus stands around twenty-three centimetres high and it is one of the larger models in the CollectA Age of Dinosaurs, popular “Prehistoric Life” range.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We intend to produce at least one new video for the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel each week. Our idea for “turntable Tuesday”, is to post up a short video, which is less than two minutes in length that permits collectors and model fans to get a really good look at a prehistoric animal figure. The turntable allows us to show the animal in three hundred and sixty degrees. It’s a dinosaur review in the round, providing an all-round perspective.”

New for 2020 CollectA Baryonyx Goes for a Spin

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time to put another prehistoric animal model through its paces as we take out our turntable and give it a spin. This time, it is the new for 2020 CollectA Baryonyx dinosaur model that is in the spotlight.

The New for 2020 CollectA Baryonyx Dinosaur Model

In this short video, (it lasts a fraction under one minute fifty seconds), the new for 2020 CollectA Baryonyx dinosaur model is highlighted. The figure is mounted on a base so that the hind feet can be kept in proportion to the rest of the body. The base itself shows some nice detailing, even a couple of leaves are depicted. The base gives the impression that this dinosaur, associated with aquatic environments, is walking through soft sand or mud.

The elongated, narrow jaw with its distinctive kink in the upper jaw is shown and the cranial crests can be easily seen. Our team members also take the opportunity to point out that CollectA have taken the time and trouble to give both their new Baryonyx models a cloaca.

A Terrific “Battle Damaged” Pachycephalosaurus

By Mike|2024-01-14T10:50:27+00:00January 30th, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Wild Safari Prehistoric World Pachycephalosaurus with “Battle Damage”

The new for 2020 Wild Safari Prehistoric World Pachycephalosaurus model is a little bit special. Naturally, it is beautifully painted and an accurate depiction of a Late Cretaceous “bone-headed” dinosaur, but the design team at Safari Ltd have taken care to introduce an element of subtle “battle damage” to their figure. It is a case of a dinosaur model demonstrating some “pachycephalosaur pathology”.

“Pachycephalosaur Pathology”

To help collectors and dinosaur fans to see what we mean, team members at Everything Dinosaur put together this short video.

The Everything Dinosaur website: Everything Dinosaur.

A Pachycephalosaurus Model Demonstrates that Dinosaurs Had Tough Lives

In this short video, (it lasts a little over two minutes long), we show the model and provide close-up views of the brown mark on its skull. This is not a flaw in the particular replica we use in the video, to prove it we show another figure from our stock, with exactly the same feature. The design team at Safari Ltd have provided their Pachycephalosaurus figure with a little bit of “battle damage”, perhaps after a fight with another Pachycephalosaurus over social status in the herd, or perhaps in a dispute over food.

The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Pachycephalosaurus model might have damaged his headgear whilst competing for females. After all, extant male red deer, the bucks, do damage their antlers in the autumn rut, when they are fighting to win the right to mate.

An Accurate Pachycephalosaurus Model

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Safari Ltd have gone that extra mile by thinking carefully how they could reflect inferred behaviour in their Pachycephalosaurus dinosaur model. We congratulate the design team for their foresight and consideration. This is a very detailed figure and it is intriguing to see the little extra details that have been incorporated into the sculpt.”

The Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel contains lots of helpful and informative videos about dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Team members try to post up a new video once a week and with all these new Safari Ltd models, our script writers are going to be kept very busy.

A Tale of Tail – Tail Insertion (Rebor Stegosaurus armatus)

By Mike|2024-01-13T07:06:03+00:00January 16th, 2020|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Product Reviews|0 Comments

How to Insert the Tail – Rebor Stegosaurus armatus 1:35 Scale Figure

Just before Christmas, Everything Dinosaur received stocks of the 1:35 scale Rebor replica Stegosaurus armatus. Dinosaur fans and model collectors will probably know that this figure is available in three colour schemes – “mountain”, “plain” and “woodland”. Since these exciting figures came into stock, Everything Dinosaur team members have posted up several pictures of these dinosaurs. Today, following a request from a Rebor collector, we have produced a short video which shows how to connect the tail to the model.

Rebor Stegosaurus Models – A Sixty Second Update

The video lasts approximately sixty seconds. The model is shown and the narrator explains how the figure is supplied (the tail piece can be found in the box, adjacent to the rest of the figure), then how the tail slots into the model is demonstrated. One firm push should do the trick, the tail fitting snuggly into the aperture. In the video, the flexibility of the tail is illustrated and compared to the neck which is also flexible.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We intend to post up more videos including reviews of actual models in the future. Everything Dinosaur has had a YouTube channel for many years now, over that time we have posted nearly 150 videos, but we intend to increase our output and do more using various media including Instagram and YouTube. Our aim is to put up new content on the company’s YouTube channel once a week or so.”
