New CollectA Models for 2021 Video Review

Everything Dinosaur has produced a video review of the last batch of new for 2021 prehistoric animal models to be introduced by CollectA.  In our final video in this series, we provide further information on the 1/40th scale CollectA Deluxe Dilophosaurus, the 1/20th scale Doedicurus replica and the stunning Pravitoceras, an ammonite associated with the Late Cretaceous of Japan.

All three of the figures featured in Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube video will be available from the UK-based company in the middle of 2021.

CollectA Prehistoric Animal Models – Question of the Day

As with the other three videos that Everything Dinosaur has produced looking at the new prehistoric animal models from CollectA, the team have been keen to provide a little more scientific information about each model.   For example, with the new CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale Dilophosaurus, the narrator explains why this figure has been give enlarged head crests.

The reasoning behind the lack of sharp spikes on the tail of the armoured Doedicurus is highlighted and when discussing the Pravitoceras figure the narrator comments upon the differences between homomorphic and heteromorphic ammonites.

In addition, we include a “question of the day” and on this occasion, in honour of the new for 2021 CollectA Deluxe Doedicurus we ask: “what other prehistoric mammal would you like CollectA to make a model of?”

CollectA Dilophosaurus, Doedicurus and the New Ammonite Figure Pravitoceras

CollectA will be adding a total of eleven prehistoric animal models to their already extensive product portfolio for 2021.  They will also add a new set of mini dinosaur and prehistoric animal figures that Everything Dinosaur reviewed in an earlier blog post and video: CollectA New Models for 2021 – Part 3.

In the Doedicurus section, the narrator looks at the closest living relatives of these extinct herbivores and comments how the first fossils of these beasts came to be scientifically described by such luminaries as Charles Darwin and Richard Owen.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We have produced four videos in total.  Each video examines new for 2020 CollectA prehistoric animals and these videos along with more than 175 others can be found on the Everything Dinosaur YouTube channel.  In our last CollectA model review we looked at the scientific data that led to the revised Dilophosaurus dinosaur model, examined different types of ammonite comparing the 2020 CollectA Pleuroceras figure with the soon to be released Pravitoceras and highlighted the 1:20 scale Doedicurus.”
